10 Songs with the Silliest Lyrics according to Time

So, which songs do you think have the silliest lyrics?

i imagine most of have at least five or six songs we can name right off the bat, but to make things easier for everyone, Time Magazine has compiled a list of 10 songs with the most absurd, head-spinning verses.

1. "Miracles" (Insane Clown Posse)
-- the big surprise is, it actually trumped Rebecca Black's "Friday"
2. "Friday" (Rebecca Black)
-- a big resounding YES
3. "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" (Eiffel 65)
-- what? you're telling me the songwriter couldn't be bothered to think of a better title? the title alone is practically a giveaway, so consider yourself warned
4. "Summer Girls" (LFO)
-- a weird collection of verses to make your head spin
5. "Mellow Yellow" (Donovan)
-- a psychedelic trip that leads nowhere
6. "My Humps" (Black Eyed Peas)
-- yeah, definitely. i find the lyrics vaguely offensive, too
7. "MacArthur Park" (Jimmy Webb)
-- i could think of sillier songs, but this one reminds me of overstaying guests who don't understand what restraint means
8. "Yummy Yummy Yummy" (The Ohio Express)
-- any song bearing this title deserves to be in this list and banished from anyone's hearing
9. "Whenever, Wherever" (Shakira)
-- this one surprised me. unlike other songs in this list though, i happen to like this one
10. "I Am the Walrus" (The Beatles)
-- hmmm... i suppose
