The other day I asked you to contribute nonsense lyrics that could be combined into a hit song, under the theory that many hit songs have nonsense lyrics, so writing them can’t be that hard.
A band in Germany, called RIVO DREI (http://www.rivodrei.de/en/ [no longer available]) picked out the best of your nonsense lyrics and strung them together to create an actual song that is a sure hit. The random lyrics sound amazingly like they might mean something deep if only you concentrated a little harder. And it’s catchy. These guys are brilliant, on a variety of levels, including marketing, obviously.
Here’s a link to the song, assuming the server doesn’t have traffic issues. The lyrics are pasted below.

She Amazed Me
————————
She had runaway eyes and marshmallow kittens.
My heart heard a dream like ten thousand mittens.
A tear in her hand
She spread deja-vu all across the land.
br:
She spinned round and round with a frog in her ear
Whispering fountains and rocks she couldn’t hear
ch:
Oh, she amazed me!
With her love, she tazed me.
Oh, she amazed me!
And it escapes me
how she outer spaced me.
Too many times I have seen the thunder
Flashes of sound, soul-rending sunder
A letter colored blue…
Now the nine bells are ringin’ and singin’ it too
br:
She spinned round and round with a frog in her ear
Whispering fountains and rocks she couldn’t hear
ch:
Oh, she amazed me!
With her love, she tazed me.
Oh, she amazed me!
And it escapes me
how she outer spaced me.
br:
Little did she know they were coming too soon,
Both those kittens ran off to the moon
ch:
Oh, she amazed me!
With her love, she tazed me.
Oh, she amazed me!
And it escapes me
how she outer spaced me.
Oh, she amazed me!
With her love, she tazed me.
Oh, she amazed me!
With splendid reprisal, she took to the sky.
My tear drops asunder. No shadow. No cry.
Apple core ostriches dancing like fairies.
And it escapes me
how she outer spaced me.
