Good Songs With Unintelligible Lyrics

Often one of the criticisms of rock n rock is that you can’t understand the words. At time its gone beyond criticism to suspected subversion. Convinced that Louie, Louie contained secrets subversive messages; the FBI spent millions off dollars trying to understand the lyrics. I say if it sounds good you don’t need the lyrics. What songs do you like but can’t understand the lyrics.

Even though I never really liked it, I remember a lot of people used to think Smells Like Teen Spirit was that way also and joke about it.
 
Well My favorite genres of music are Death metal & Industrial. So if you could guess from that lyrics aren't the top of my cares when it comes to music lol.

I agree wholeheartedly, death and black metal with all the growling is highly unintelligible. Wanna throw in some Cannibal Corpse and Children of Bodom in there dont really know whats going on but I bet its brutal.:banger: But this hardcore shit gotta go.:mad:
 
Anything by The Cocteau Twins


I've heard that singer Elizabeth Fraser, actually talks like that in conversation.

Your officially one of my favs. Cannibal Corpse :banger:
 
Anything by Phil Collins. He's got the cheesiest lyrics, but his melodies are so catchy. Also, way too many others to mention, right now.

"Every night, at ten

And fuck that girl"

Gotta side with The Feds here ;)
