Who put the bom in the bom shu bom shu bom?

Who are you?

Who do you love?

Is there anybody out there?

If a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you?

If all those little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?

Why don't we get drunk and screw? (Actually, that last one is a very good question!)

Now THAT'S profound!!


There's the Bellamy Brothers' "If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?"


But I have to enter this here: although it's neither a question nor dumb, it's the line that makes me go WHAT?
The Five Satins did the doo wop classic (Remember) In The Still of The Night. Their next biggest hit was To The Aisle, which contains this line:

"It may start with a simple conversation,
Like: 'Darling, please put me on trial.'"


I've never tried it as a pickup line, but it's got to be an attention getter.

In the context of that song, I think that's a very good question.

Not a dumb question, but a good question song:

Why can't we be friends?


When will I be loved?
What kind of fool am I?
How long has this been going on?


And a very suggestive question:

How deep is your love?

Yeah, the whole premise of that song is faulty on multiple levels. First of all, how do you define good music in such a way that everyone will endorse? And secondly, if it's possible to define it, then why wouldn't I like it, since it's universally accepted as good? F**kers...

OK, if we've gone to including GOOD questions, then I have to go with George Jones'

"I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die,
So tell me why baby why baby why baby why???"


ーーーーーー

And Irving Berlin's

What値l I do
When you are far away
And I am blue
What値l I do?

What値l I do?
When I am wond池ing who
Is kissing you
What値l I do?

What値l I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?

When I知 alone
With only dreams of you
That won稚 come true
What値l I do?


ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Or the Gershwins


I could cry salty tears ;
Where have I been all these years ?
Little wow, tell me now :
How long has this been going on ?

There were chills up my spine,
And some thrills I can't define.
Listen, sweet, I repeat :
how long has this been going on ?...

Kiss me twice, then once more.
That makes thrice, let's make it four !
What a break ! For Heaven's sake !
How long has this been going on ?

Did you ever have to make up your mind?

If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you? Or whatever the dude asked.

Yes sir, may I have another?

Where were you when I needed you?

Do you know who I am?

Do you like pina coladas?

Who's that girl?

Who's reaching out to capture a frekkin' rainbow?

Meanwhile, not a question, but howsabout "If a man could be two places at one time I'd be with you tomorrow and today"?

Surely that's two times in one place?
