20 Best Gibberish Lyrics: No. 20

--'Icky Thump,' White Stripes (2007)
Jack White bought a vowel and tweaked a slang term he borrowed from wife Karen Ellson to title this tune. Folks from the north of England -- a genus that includes Mrs. White -- will often yelp "Ecky Thump" when surprised or dismayed (with 'eck being a PG-13 tone-down of 'ell). The term was also employed by the comedy troupe the Goodies, who created the Ecky Thump martial art -- in which participants do battle with elongated tubes of black pudding, or, as Yanks know it, blood sausage.

Where's Billy Joel's "Piano Man"? That's always been my favorite gibberish song. And maybe all the records by McCartney after the Beatles.

Gibberish first hit the charts when the Boswell Sisters used a pig-latin like language to sing a verse on Victor records in 1925 in a song called "Nights When I am Lonely." It's been a part of hot popular music ever since.

Many of the Rolling Stones lyrics come to mind... particularly: Shattered
"All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter bout Shmatta, shmatta, shmatta"

Those are all good ones, folks, but I've got you all beat!! Remember Elton John's "Solar Prestige e Gammon"? He wrote an entire song as an anagram. (I still don't know what all the lines mean.)

First if you name it as revealing the true meanings, only do the ones you know the meaning of, you cleared up what 2? Second most of what you did use as lyrics could best be described as a version of scatting (from jazz) albeit popped or rocked out versions. This article isn't what it is titled and pretty useless

how 'bout that 70's song??,"Blinded by the light..wrapped up like adouchamo blah blah blah in the middle of the night???
what the hey was that?
paladin469at 1-30-2009
Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a deuce (name for a car from the 50's), another roamer in the night(a creeper, see previous car reference).
Seriously, read the lyrics before you try to sound clever.
