Nope, nope, and ?? definately nope. Darn it...why couldn't you have drawn "massage in a brothel" or "there's a bathroom on the right". Those I definately would have guessed!
I thought about bathroom on the right! Too easy, though...50% of the population gets that one wrong. ;D
I didn't use super-obsure ones, like John Prine's "half an enchilada and you think you're gonna drown" instead of "half an inch of water..." (who drowns in enchiladas, anyway? Seriously?)
To be honest, #3 might be just my own misunderstanding...
Uh, no nothing's coming to mind...But I don't know a lot of music from that time, either. Looking forward to the answers, though.
Two clowns in a cup of tea
A can of aerosol with wrapped in pink ribons and a worm stiking out
A green (very cute) bird turning blue

....
.......?
Must be a Beatles song like Lucie In the Sky with Diamonds 'cos they were high on LSD anyway.
However David Bowie was very good at writing (and singing) absolute nonesense.
I need more clues...
LC, you're close on the bird one...it IS a classic Brit band that did a lot of drugs...
Tea's close, too. Think of another caffeinated beverage.
What type of bird is it? (And don't say "a flying one" either, I want a breed)
It's a seagull. A flying seagull.
;)
You're So Vain! How did I miss that?
I forgot that you used to sing it that way!
The other 2 still have me stumped. :(
Very GOOD!
I think you'd get the second one, too, if my drawing was more accurate. It looks too much like a gas can.
The third one...well, Z might be on to something, but it's a toughie. I'm not sure anyone else translated that lyric quite the same way as me.
The 2nd one looks like a gift-wrapped water bottle to me. Still stumped.
"you're so vain?" How did you get that?
SME, you must also tell us what you thought the lyric was! Otherwise I'm lost!
All right! Now they make total sense!
I have no idea at all on any of them. Then again my brain is spacy from this cold.
Wow... those are funny. Clowns in my coffee.
Ah, I never knew those were the words to Paint it Black. I used to like that song, until every long haired cover band in the late 80s covered it.
I clap my hands over my ears whenever I hear a cover of Paint it Black. It's so wrong.
You need sex!!
