Stupid lyrics competition

[triskellian]

Boss's Boss, in Friday afternoon mode, is trying to collect stupid lyrics, inspired by this line from 'Africa' by Toto:

"Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti"

Anyone got any song lyrics dafter than that?

Sensible lyrics

[metame.livejournal.com]

"Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti"

Perfectly sensible - enormous bloody plain, great big bloody free standing mountain. The comparison with Olympus also evokes the thought of an Olympan flame - symbol of excellence and fairness - a burning flame was set atop Kilimanjaro when it's peak was named - Uhuru, meaning freedom. See
"The Uhuru Torch symbolises freedom and light. It was first lit on top of mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m) in 1961, symbolically to shine the country and across the borders to bring hope where there is despair, love where there is enmity and respect where there is hatred. Yearly there is the Uhuru Torch race, starting from different prominent places in the Republic."

His objection was the simile "the mountain is like this other mountain".

And, OK, I don't know anything about Kilimanjaro, but Olympus isn't just one mountain, it's a great big* heap of bits of mountain. Certainly not one definite peak. I know, I've walked up part of it.

(That's gotta be pretty high up the list of things you never thought you'd hear me say: "I walked up a mountain" ;-)

* OK, big is relative.

Damn. What is it with me and the footnotes this week?
