9:30 Coffee Break: Gibberish Lyrics

April 18, 2013

For yesterday's 9:30 Coffee Break we dug into songs full of literary allusions. They were songs where the lyrics are obviously very important to the song-writer. Today we are on the other side of the spectrum: gibberish lyrics.

What songs do you want to hear today that have lyrics with no meaning outside of their sound? We'll play a set of music from your suggestions for today's Gibberish Lyrics 9:30 Coffee Break.
