If you're familiar with '80s music, you know that there are often lyrics that go by and make you say "wait what?" Some are intentionally goofy or bizarre; with others it's not so clear, but try to match the creatively distinct line with the song.

You think you're tired now, but wait until three
Laughing at the Christmas lights you remember from December
I am not a man who believes in lies
Like an octopus with big x-ray eyes
Only time will tell if we stand the test of time
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you
Look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
Last night, I had the strangest dream
I sailed away to China in a little rowboat to find ya
And you said you had to get your laundry clean
Like a Burger King with a sack of Big Macs
We're throwin' down with a rack of Bozaks
Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
We were in motion, felt like lotion
You were the girl for me
Don't hang yourself with a celibate rope
I've got a secret, I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain IBM
Marconi plays the mamba
Listen to the radio
You turned the tap dance into your crusade
Now here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
Modern medicine falls short of your complaint
Ooh, try a little harder
You're moving in circles, won't you dilate?
I'm wearing fur pajamas / I ride a hot potato
It's tickling my fancy / Speak up, I can't hear you
It's tickling my fancy / Speak up, I can't hear you
Shake up the picture, the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
(spoken) Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto, you're beautiful!
Chipping around, kick my brains 'round the floor
I wish I was in Tijuana
Eating barbecued iguana
Gold crocodiles (Oh-way-oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
Now the king told the boogie men
"You have to let that raga drop"
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high handstand
Silk and satin, leather and lace
Black panties with an angel's face

I think there's a mistake in the lyrics for "Do they know it's Christmas?" - it should be "and the Christmas bells that ring there", not "bring day".
