Line 205:
* Pere Ubu, a weird band to begin with, have a song call "Street Waves," in which the only comprehensible words are "I ride a street wave." As they don't ever release their lyrics, no one's even sure about this part.
** "Street Waves" aside, at least 95% of Pere Ubu's oeuvre is indecipherable due to David Thomas' squawking, blubbering vocal delivery and the band's bizarre, often esoteric lyrics.
*** For added fun, track down a Pere Ubu record, try writing down what you hear, then go to [https://web.archive.org/web/20131023105832/http://ubuprojex.net/reference.html#lyrics their website] and look up the lyrics. Compare results.
*** Not so. I recently bought their album New Picnic Time, which has the lyrics in the liner notes.
* Dave. Effing. Matthews. Usually only one or two words in his songs are immediately understandable, and they're almost always the title (example: ''Iiii'm the kinguh the caaaastle,'' ''[[Mondegreen|ammonia and glass]]'' ''oh crash in to me'' and more slurring than that helps keep people from realising what Crash Into Me [[Intercourse with You|is about]]. Another example: ''And all the little ants are marching, reh uh ah and en uh waaaaving...''). Admittedly, the Dave Matthews Band covered Louie Louie as well.
