🌀 Songs That Make Zero Sense (But Still Slap)

A musical mystery tour, ft. synths, screaming, and Daisy’s lyrical side-eye.

Some songs are lyrical masterpieces. Others… sound like they were written during a sleep-deprived sugar crash in 1987. And yet — we bop. We scream the chorus like it’s our national anthem. We feel them… even if we have no clue what they’re actually saying.

So, here’s to the ultimate genre: What the Hell Are These Lyrics But I Love It Anyway™.

🎧 1. “Take On Me” – a-ha

Lyric that makes no sense: “Take on me / Take me on / I’ll be gone… in a day or two.”

Daisy says:
“Sir, are you dying? Ghosting? Fighting someone in a synth battle? Clarify! This is what happens when a man falls into a music video and doesn’t come back.”

🎧 2. “Africa” – Toto

Lyric: “I bless the rains down in Africa.”

Daisy says:
“Is he God? Is he a very committed meteorologist? Is this an actual ritual? I have questions and Google doesn’t help.”

🎧 3. “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” – Eiffel 65

Lyric: “I’m blue da ba dee da ba di…”

Daisy says:
“This is either a cry for help, a coded alien language, or the sound of a brain melting in real time. Still iconic tho.”

🎧 4. “Macarena” – Los del Río

Lyric: The entire song

Daisy says:
“The song is literally about a girl cheating on her boyfriend while he’s being drafted into the army… and somehow we made it a wedding dance. Humanity is unwell.”

🎧 5. “I Want It That Way” – Backstreet Boys

Lyric: “Tell me why / Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache / Ain’t nothin’ but a mistake / I never wanna hear you say / I want it that way.”

Daisy says:
“What way?? Who wants what?? WHY are we telling you anything if you never want to hear it? This is like reading a break-up letter written by five different people at once.”
