The Kinks vs. Weird Al Yankovic

 Link: [The Kinks]


Lola
The Kinks
I met her in a club
Down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne
And it tastes just like cherry cola
C
O
L
A
Cola

She walked up to me
And she asked me to dance
I asked her her name
And in dark brown voice
She said Lola
L
O
L
A
Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola

Well I’m not the worlds
Most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight
She nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Well I’m not dumb
But I can’t understand
Why she walked like a woman
And talked like a man
Oh my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola

Well we drank champagne
And danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up
And sat me on her knee
And said little boy
Won’t you come home with me
Well I’m not the worlds
Most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes
Well I almost fell
For my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I feel to the floor
I got down on my knees
Well I looked at her
And she at me

Well that’s the way
That I want it to stay
And I’ll always want it
To be that way
For my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Girls will boys
And boys will be girls
It’s a mixed-up
Muddled-up
Shook-up world
Except for Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola

Well I’d left home
Just a week before
And I’d never ever
Kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled
And took me by the hand
And said little boy
I’m gonna make you a man
Well I’m not the worlds
Most masculine man
But I know what I am
And in bed I’m a man
And so is Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola

Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola

Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola

Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola

Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola

Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola



Yoda
Weird Al Yankovic
I met him in a swamp
Down in Dagobah
Where it bubbles all the time
Like a giant carbonated soda
S
O
D
A
Soda

I saw the little runt
Sitting there on a log
I asked him for his name
And in a raspy voice
He said Yoda
Y
O
D
A
Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda

Well I’ve been around
But I ain’t never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet
But he’s wrinkled and green
Oh my Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda
Well I’m not dumb
But I can’t understand
How he can lift me in the air
Just by raising his hand
Oh my Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda

Well I left home
Just a week before
And I’ve never ever been
A Jedi before
But Obi Wan
He set me straight of course
He said go to Yoda
And he’ll show you the force
Well I’m not the kind
That would argue with Ben
So it looks like I’m gonna start
All over again
With my Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda
Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda

So I used the force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
But I won’t forget
What Yoda said

He said
Luke stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray
Let the force be your guide
Oh my Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda
I know Darth Vader’s
Really got you annoyed
But remember
If you kill him
Then you’ll be unemployed
Oh my Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda

Well I heard my friends
Really got in a mess
So I’m gonna have to
Leave Yoda I guess
But I know that I’ll be
Coming back someday
I’ll be playing this part
‘Til I’m old and gray
The long term contract
I had to sign
Says I’ll be making these movies
‘Til the end of time
Oh with my Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo yo yo yo Yoda

  1. I love the Yoda song!!! I also have a very distinct memory of hearing the Kinks Lola. I must have been 6-8 years old. I was playing billards at an after school day program and listened to the words and got what it was about...funny. What thoughts filled my head so young...Lo lo lo la!!

  4. The Kinks always had the most clever lyrics - subversive group. One of my favs!

  5. I've been visiting this blog off and on over the last 9 months. Perhaps I'm dense, I seriously haven't been able to tie any posts to your own description of the blog: "The purpose of this blog is to help clear-up much of the confusion that now exists concerning our Heavenly Father and the righteousness of all of His most awesome ways, especially in regards to just who we are and the very close and personal relationship that we can have with Him in this day and age"

    I mean, I like your blog, I'm just confused.
    Any help?

  6. There seems to be a bit of a kink in your post here today (sorry I couldn't help myself)
    The kinks get my vote even though weird Al cracks me up

  7. Definitely the Kinks, but I am sending the Yoda one to my grandson.

  8. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Coleen!!! Well, you were far ahead of me. For I was well into my 30's before I got what "Lola" was all about.

  9. Thanks for stopping by, my dear John!!! They truly are a great group, and Lola is indeed a classic.

  10. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear BadGal!!! Now, that has me stumped. Could it be because the name of both groups start with a K?

  11. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! I fully agree with you on that one. For "Living On A Thin Line" and "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" are two of my all-time favorite songs.

  12. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Skippyheart!!! Indeed!

  13. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Jennie!!! Well, these "vs." posts are mostly just for fun, but one of my purposes is to help as many as will to see that our Heavenly Father is involved in every aspect of our daily lives in this world in one way or another.

    More obvious things here are WhiteHeart Wednesdays, and I have been reposting Bittersweet Refinements on Saturdays the past several weeks. Furthermore, each post ends with an invitation to visit FishHawk Droppings, which now contains the books that our Heavenly Father has given me to publish in the order that they are meant to be read. If you would take some time to read as much of them as you can possibly stand, what I have been given to say might help you to understand better.

  14. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Yeah, I suppose I deserved that, and if you would ask my wife, she would tell you that there is much about me that needs straightened out. Weird Al's version is a classic, and that video blew me away--especially the break-dancing sequence.

  15. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Sandie!!! Why couldn't I have had a grandmother like you?
