I have a theory - one for you to all disregard - that "Dog and Butterfly" by Heart has to be one of the dumbest songs of all time. I just heard it in a store, and it took me back. As a kid, I never understood, :wtf: - is the dog flying too? :shrug:

There I was with the old man
Stranded again so off I'd ran
A young world crashing around me
No possibilities of getting what I need
He looked at me and smiled
Said "No, no, no, no, no child.

See the dog and butterfly. Up in the
Air he like to fly." Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try. She roll back down
To the warm soft ground laughing
She don't know why, she don't know why
Dog and butterfly

Well I stumbled upon your secret place
Safe in the trees you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires frozen strangers
Stealing your fires. The message hit my mind
Only words that I could find

See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
Laughing to the sky, up to the sky
Dog and butterfly

We're getting older the world's getting colder
For the life of me I don't know the reason why
Maybe it's livin' making us give in
Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide
We're balanced together ocean upon the sky

Another night in this strange town
Moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me
Just begging to go back where I'm free
Feels like I'm through
Then the old man's words are true

See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly, below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft
Ground with a little tear in her eye
She had to try, she had to try
Dog and butterfly
yeah
Up in the air, he liked to fly
The dog and butterfly, below she had to try
She rolled back down to the warm soft ground
Laughing she don’t know why
But she had to try she had to try
Dog and butterfly

1. someone left the cake out in the rain

i don't think that i can take it cause it took so long to bake it and i'll never have that recipe aga-aai-n, aaa-gaaaaaai-n

WTF is this song all about?

[flamingyouth]

4. I have no idea

But it was discussed here before and I think the consensus was reached that it had something to do with being stood up at the altar (wedding cake)... I could be wrong.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

10. I thint it's actually about a cake.

Left out.
In the rain.
In McArthur Park.
In the rain.
And the moron (excuse me...moran) threw away the only copy of the recepie in the entire universe.
But I could be wrong.

2. sweet nellie bliss

went off to piiiiiiiick some flowers
she went to the coop
to let our a pooooooooooor little chicken
the coop fell apart
she let our a faaaaaarrrr distant cry
now there nellie sits
and there nellie shiiiiiiivers in the moonlight

3. Stairway to Heaven

I mean what the hell is this verse supposed to mean?
"If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen "



There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

5. May Queen...

[flamingyouth]

6. I have no idea about the hedgerow, bustle or the May Queen

Yeah, that's obtuse as all get out...

[Reverend_Smitty]

7. My guess...

and this is just coming from left field, but I think they might have been high when they wrote the song...I donno, just talking out of my ass here :evilgrin:

[flamingyouth]

8. Whoa - that's a really bold theory!
