Best rock lyric ever?

Now of course, like all real life experience stories, this also begins once a polly tito. And Happiness Stan, whose life evolved ne' ephemeral colour dreamy most, had his pure existence and his being a deep joy of the multicolour of the rainbold. Oh yes. His home a victoriana charibold, this the four-wheel folloped ft-ft-ft out the backgrove. Now as Eaved and his deep approachey, his eye on the moon, all time some time deep joy of a full moon scintilating dangly in the heavenly bode, but now only half. "Oh blow your cool man!" he dood this deep thoughcus. "What is the folly of this half disappearing of the moony most?" And as the light did a scintilading change through timely most, stopped still, and he did a deep thoughcus. "What?!" Absloutely smashing flaked he was. So gathering all behind in the hintermost, he ploddy ploddy forward into the deep fundemold of the complicading forry to sort this one out matey. Where at Man he thoucus, where at Man...... oh dear

Unwinese needs to be heard (rather than read) to both make sense of, and to reveal it's true majesty.


Big influence on Snoop Dog.
 
I can actually speak it relatively fluently (bizarre, I know!), and I will occasionally drop into it when talking with my elder sister.
It cracks her up.

I don't think it was ever formally written down - he was the living repository, so to some extent it died with him.

His epitaph is just perfect (his wife died about five years before him).

Deep Joy!




You should probably record yourself, and teach others.

I just followed certain syntax, and how sentences were structured. It's relatively simple to grasp the basic verbs, and how to treat nouns, but one must try to avoid repetition. Descriptives follow patterns in certain phrases, and there's a lot of leeway on simply making stuff up. All nonsense, really, but fun when you're bored.
