Can I just query in what way some of these love polygons are bizarre?

― Why does my IQ changes? (noodle vague), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:18 (twenty years ago)

The car is the narrator, perhaps?

― everything (everything), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:19 (twenty years ago)

"Belle" is queer cuz one of three is He.

― Dr. Alicia B. Titsovich (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:19 (twenty years ago)

No, cos the little girls tell the narrator to keep his hands on the wheel.

― Why does my IQ changes? (noodle vague), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:21 (twenty years ago)

oops...forgot about the "bizarre" part, just ran with it...("Belle" is pretty bizarre, though, you have to admit)...

xpost:

The poor, snoopy eyed sucker.

― everything (everything), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:23 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, "Belle"'s good. I was just being a pedant about "Lyin' Eyes".

"Brandy", Looking Glass...("my love, my life, my lady, is the sea"...that's fucked, people)

― hank (hank s), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:26 (twenty years ago)

"His Latest Flame" - not especially bizarre, but fits the MMF criteria nicely.

― Why does my IQ changes? (noodle vague), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:27 (twenty years ago)

"Cecilia", but it's not that bizarre, except she's shagging someone else while he's in the shitter. He's down on his knees a lot too. Begging. Possibly Paul Simon is one of those cuckold-fetishists?

― everything (everything), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:28 (twenty years ago)

This is the ultimate. Though it moves from a threesome to an orgy when the Bonzos join in:

"She's Your Lover Now" by Bob Dylan is very bizarre--don't know who it talking to/about who!

― douglas eklund (skolle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 20:12 (twenty years ago)

well i see you got a new boyfriend
no, i never seen him before
i saw you making love with him
you forgot to close the garage door
you know i don't mind him cheatin' on me, but i
sure wish he'd take that off his head,
your brand-new leopard-skin pillbox hat.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 21:00 (twenty years ago)

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Wednesday, 13 September 2006 21:50 (twenty years ago)

"Run Joey Run" is about as bizarre as they get.

Not sure if Cher's "The Way of Love" counts.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 23:21 (twenty years ago)

sisters - R&L Thompson

― timmy tannin (pompous), Thursday, 14 September 2006 03:57 (twenty years ago)

The Knack's "The Monkey And Me (Siamese Twins)" describes a VERY sick relationship indeed...

(...or so I THOUGHT, until I saw the lyric sheet. And discovered that it was NOT, in fact, about an insanely jealous conjoined twin fantasizing about fratricide, just 'cause his cooler brother always gets all the pussy to himself. Too bad...)

― Monty Von Byonga (Monty Von Byonga), Thursday, 14 September 2006 04:43 (twenty years ago)

"Three Times A Lady."

― mike a (mike a), Thursday, 14 September 2006 16:17 (twenty years ago)

I know you've been inside but what were you in for?

Didn't Justine Frischmann sleep with both Brett and Damon for a period, at which time both men were obsessed with leaving bites/scratches on her body?

― his sister pam (hissisterpam), Thursday, 14 September 2006 16:27 (twenty years ago)

Well the curtain had ascended
A hush fell on the crowd
As thousands there were gathered to hear The folk songs of our land
But they took their politics seriously
And that night at the concert hall
As the audience watched deliriously
They had a free-for-all

Well, the one on the right was on the bottom
And the one in the middle was on the top
And the one on the left got a broken arm
And the guy in the rear, said, "Oh dear"

I always thought that song had some weird undertones. Also, Stereo Total's "l amour a trois"!!!! Classic, and a perfect example!!

― Adam Bruneau (oliver8bit), Friday, 15 September 2006 02:34 (twenty years ago)

ain't every tune with "bermuda" in the title, like, entitled to a place on this list?

― tiit (tiit), Friday, 15 September 2006 07:07 (twenty years ago)

Lou Reed, Oh Jim

... and a few others I'd warrant

― Tad Sneery (Dada), Friday, 15 September 2006 07:52 (twenty years ago)

For instance, "Betrayed":

Three of us lie in this bed
night of infamy
one of us lies on our back
her father's in her head
And quick she turns and slaps my face
and with her eyes open wide she screams
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
but she's looking right past me

― Tad Sneery (Dada), Friday, 15 September 2006 07:52 (twenty years ago)

pervertalism! :)

― tiit (tiit), Friday, 15 September 2006 07:54 (twenty years ago)

hai

to whoever said that upthread: i really don't see how BLT is about anything other than a traditional crush (involving 2 peeps)

Prince, "When You Were Mine"

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Saturday, 16 September 2006 20:59 (twenty years ago)

Robyn Hitchcock: "My Wife And My Dead Wife". Surely cannot be any more bizzare than that one?

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Saturday, 16 September 2006 21:48 (twenty years ago)

well played.

Was Momus's "Beast With Three Backs" bizarre?

― Nag! Nag! Nag! (Nag! Nag! Nag!), Saturday, 16 September 2006 23:24 (twenty years ago)

Oh, wait, the song itself was called "Hotel Marquis De Sade" innit.

― Nag! Nag! Nag! (Nag! Nag! Nag!), Saturday, 16 September 2006 23:29 (twenty years ago)

My wife lies down in a chair
And peels a pear
I know she's there
I'm making coffee for two
Just me and you
But I come back in with coffee for three
Coffee for three?

My dead wife sits in a chair
Combing her hair
I know she's there
She wanders off to the bed
Shaking her head
"Robyn," she said
"You know I don't take sugar!"

My wife and my dead wife
Am I the only one that sees her?
My wife and my dead wife
Doesn't anybody see her at all?
No, no no, no, no no no no

My wife sits down on the stairs
And stares into air
There's no one there
I'm drilling holes in the wall
Holes in the wall
I turn round and my dead wife's upstairs
She's still wearing flares
She talks out loud but no one hears

And I can't decide which one I love the most
The flesh and blood or the pale, smiling ghost

My wife lies down on the beach
She's sucking a peach
She's out of reach
Of the waves that crash on the sand
Where my dead wife stands
Holding my hand

Now my wife can't swim
but neither could she
And deep in the sea
She's waiting for me

Oh, I'm such a lucky guy
'Cause I've got you baby and I'll never be lonely

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Sunday, 17 September 2006 07:55 (twenty years ago)

*maketh mental note: geir's connoisseur on pervertalism too!*

― tiit (tiit), Sunday, 17 September 2006 09:01 (twenty years ago)

I always got a weird gut feeling that God was the third party in "Bizarre Love Triangle", hence the "bizarre". I could be totally wrong though.
