Music with Height References in it
Posted by lankyguy10 on Jan 18th 2010

Thought this might fun

Rules:
1. Post a song
2. List the lyric that has a reference to height in it

Men At Work – Down Under
He was six-foot-four and full of muscles

The Police – Can’t Stand Losing You
And your brother’s gonna kill me and he’s six feet ten

Your turn!

Maroon 5 – Wake Up Call
Six foot tall / Came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead.

As a side note: I always thought it was “Six foot four” which in my mind explained why he was scared enough to shoot him dead. Didn’t know the real lyrics till I looked it up for this post.

Song: Bad Bad Leroy Brown

Lyrics:

Well the South Side of Chicago is the baddest part of town….

Now Leroy’s, more than trouble, you see he stands about 6 foot 4
All the downtown ladies call him “treetop lover,”
All the men just call him “sir.”

Primus – My Name is Mud

“Six foot two and rude as hell
I got to get him in the ground before he starts to smell”

Beatles You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away (supposedly written about Brian Epstein being gay):

Turn my head to the wall
If she’s gone I can’t go on feeling two foot small

Bobby Hebb —Sunny
...and now I feel ten feet tall

(Very old song: Five feet two, eyes of blue, but oh what that five feet two could do, has anybody seen my gal. Spoofed by Allan Sherman as Eight Foot Two, Solid Blue)
