Bismillah! We will not let you go!

THE essence of any good pop or rock song is a strong melody, a good rhythm and... er... some absolutely awful lyrics. Test your musical knowledge by seeing if you know what songs these words come from.


Queen
Queen
1) Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me

2) I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really
really really wanna zigazig ha

3) And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

4) We’re heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they’ve seen us and welcome us all

5) A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yeah

6) Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns

7) Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe

8) What about nature's worth
(ooh, ooh)
It's our planet's womb
(What about us)

9) Well she's my woman of gold
And she's not very old - a ha ha

10) When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me

11) I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train

12) And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars

13) The turning point
Of a career
In Korea
Being insincere

14) Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide

15) Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque

16) Evil turns to statues - and masses form a line
But I know which way I'd run to if the choice was mine
The past is knowledge - the present our mistake
And the future we always leave too late

17) Don't worry 'bout nothing 'cause it won't take long
We're gonna put you in a trance with a funky song

18) I am not a man who believes in lies
Like an octopus with big x-ray eyes

19) Well whoopsin-a whoopsin (dress it up)
Jan jan jammering (dress it up, dress it up)
Yabba-yabba-ding-ding (dress it up)
Delta hey max nine

20) What's it like to be a loon?
I liken it to a balloon
