The Sound Of Plaid episode 2014.05.26: Meaningless Music
For this show we take Talking Heads' advice and Stop Making Sense with two hours of Meaningless Music! Senseless songs with lyrics ranging from made-up languages (Simlish, Cocteau Twins) to outright nonsense (Shooby Taylor, Mike Patton) -- songs that sound like they mean something, but don't.
Our playlist owes partial thanks to two Wikipedia lists: Songs With Nonsense Lyrics and the awesomely-named Non-Lexical Vocables In Music.
