Bob Stroud's Ten at Ten from September 12, 2012, Gibberish. He played songs containing gibberish.
1. DE DO DO DO, DE DA DA DA-- POLICE-- From Zenyatta Vendatta, a double dose of gibberish
2. NA NA HEY HEY KISS HIM GOODBYE-- STEAM-- We know what that means. It's a South Side anthem. (Hey, Hey, Go You White Sox.)
3. 157 RIVERSIDE DRIVE-- REO SPEEDWAGON-- There's your scatting thanks to Kevin Cronin
4. LOUIE LOUIE-- KINGSMEN-- The song so indecipherable that a government official in Indiana thought that it must be pornographic and had the FBI look into it in 1963. (Was it banned in your town?)
5. OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA-- BEATLES-- An expression used by a Nigerian conga player that Paul McCartney incorporated into a song from the White album. (You can't help but get happy with this song.)
6. I AM THE WALRUS-- BEATLES-- I thought it interesting when the lyrics of that song were finally printed, we had it wrong. We thought it was "Ku Ku Kachew" It was "Goob, goob gajube." That's how jibberishy that was. (What was John smokin?)
7. SHU BA DA DU MA MA MA-- STEVE MILLER BAND-- Making something out of nothing there. Five minutes of great rock and roll from the Joker album.
8. YELLOW LEDBETTER-- PEARL JAM-- Was it Eddie Vedder or Jimmy Fallon, only your hairdresser knows for sure and your hairdresser probably understands the lyrics to this. Pearl Jam from 1992, the flipside of "Jeremy."
9. TUTTI FRUITI-- LITTLE RICHARD-- Broke through in late 1955 with this. You can say that you didn't know what he was talking about and parenst didn't know what he was saying, but really, the kids did. They knew exactly what he was talking about.
10. SHAMA-LAMA-DING-DONG-- OTIS DAY & THE KNIGHTS-- "Mind if we dance with yoh dates?" From the "Animal House" soundtrack. (Love that movie. Reminded me of my old frat.)
Or, Do You Say Jibberish? --RoadDog
