get mumbo jumbo jumbo when the jungle
music often transcends language barriers
but sometimes song titles just don’t
translate in any language
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
nonsense song titles for this list we’re
looking at songs whose title leave us
scratching our heads trying to figure
out just what they mean as usual the one
entry per artists rule applies number 10
da da da trio but this movement in run
shots this German group believed in
keeping music simple and upbeat and
their most well known song is no
exception
taking a minimalist approach the song’s
lyrics are mostly comprised of da da da
which repeats itself over 23 times
during the song
a hit in its native country of Germany
the song became just as popular around
the world charting in over 20 other
countries while the song has been
translated into several languages the
title remains the same
nonsensical fun every time
number nine Fei Fei Fei Fei Fei sad song
otis redding
one of Redding’s biggest Billboard pop
and R&B hits this song kicks right off
with the peppy words from the title the
song’s lyrics share the woes of a man
who must continue to sing sad sad songs
but with the spirited delivery and
instrumental backing this tune seems
anything but melancholy the title may
not make much sense but it gets us
singing along with a beat that is Feifei
fabulous
number eight mm-hmm-hmm crash-test
dummies there was is cuter the opening
of this song is almost instantly
recognizable the world over so was this
girl
what and Norwich England
the lead singers deep voice humming out
the title to the song sets the mood for
this thought-provoking and morose tune
that became a charting hit in multiple
countries
the title of this hit single would seem
to make more sense for a Campbell Soup
commercial than a pop hit but this
Canadian band proved that sometimes a
title without words can be good
number seven Mmmbop hansen our number
seven pick is a song from a group of
siblings that you just won’t be able to
get out of your head
the Hansen brothers burst onto the music
scene and in Bop 2 their way to the top
of the charts with this debut single the
title of this song along with the chorus
is pure poppy gibberish that is also one
of the catchiest tunes of the 90s
this tune filled with nonsense phrases
charted in dozens of countries and
landed the group two Grammy nominations
lazy riding more like pop music goal
number six do wah Diddy diddy Manfred
Mann now she was just walking down the
street
this song paints a picture of a woman
catching a man’s eye and his ear with
her good looks and singing ability
although not originally a Manfred Mann
Tunes the group created an instant
classic when they brought their
signature pop sound to the slightly less
popular original now with together
nearly every single day is are you
found both commercial and critical
success with this ditty finding itself
at the top of the charts in both the US
and the UK
supercalifragilistic expialidocious
number five supercalifragilistic
expialidocious you say it loud enough
you’re always on precocious Julie
Andrews and Dick Van Dyke
this song title is the most complex on
the list and for those who haven’t heard
the song the most unpronounceable it’s
also the only song on our list that
declares the sound of the title itself
is something quite atrocious the rest of
the song however promotes the title word
as magical precocious clever and able to
make amazing things happen oh she’s an
exp a Styx magic caddy Rufus while
Disney is known for its fun and
sometimes nonsensical song titles this
is one that really needs to be sung to
be understood number four blue double D
I full 65
we apologize in advance for getting this
stuck in your heads our next entry comes
from Eiffel 65 a euro dance trio out of
Italy who sing about living in a blue
world in this 1999 smash hit I have a
blue house with a blue window where is
the color blue daddy proved to be their
most successful hit breaking into the
top 10 on the charts in several
countries and earning the band a Grammy
nomination
a defining hit of the late 90s we can’t
help but think the nonsensical nature of
the song’s chorus played a factor in the
track’s mainstream popularity
number three Rama Lama ding-dong the egg
cells rather level level level Emma Jean
don’t rebel ever level at 11
doo-wop songs are notorious for lyrics
that are a jumble of silly words that
are a blast to listen to dance to or
sing to and this late 50s tune is no
exception
Oh
the quintet from Ohio had moderate
success with their tunes but this single
and it’s off-the-wall title made a big
splash after being paired with another
do up single blue moon the song went on
to be featured on The Muppet Show being
performed by a flock of sheep ramblin
ramblin lemon I’m a dingo gram lemon I’m
a llama llama ding
number two dee doo doo doo dee da da the
police when a song is opening line state
that the words are hard to find it makes
perfect sense when the title of the song
would not make sense
although it may be unclear why some of
the artists on our list chose nonsense
lyrics and titles for their songs sting
indicated in an interview that this was
exactly the point he was trying to make
you set out to create a song that
delivers a message as long as people
don’t just listen to the chorus or rely
on the song title
before we let our top pick thrill and
confuse you here are a few honorable
mentions
duh
Oh
number one
oh bloody Oh blah da the Beatles
it should come as a little surprise at
the lovable lads from Liverpool snag the
top spot on our list with this song that
has been covered by multiple artists
featured in several movies and TV shows
and charted in multiple countries
written by Paul McCartney the song not
only took the music world by storm but
the title itself has become synonymous
with nonsensical song lyrics although
not one of the group’s more critically
acclaimed singles and John Lennon
allegedly hating the song it proves that
even a legendary rock band like the
Beatles knew how to write a fun tune
so do you agree with our list I’ve got a
girl named Pamela lamb and a man named
Don which song do you think has the most
nonsensical title for more top 10s
