Lady Gaga vs. Bjork

"I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" vs. "His tooth is warmthless"

Obviously the latter wins for its dead-on obscurity and nonsensical imagery. Since when is "warmthless" an english term? And this ain't the first time she has secretly contributed a "word" to the English language. Let's just say Bjork pulled a Dr. Seuss and let it go. It's her Frindle. But this doesn't ignore the rest of the sentence now. How about this tooth conducting heat? And what about the other teeth? Are they lukewarm? Toasty? Or maybe it's not about the heat, maybe its cold as in aloof or emotionless. But what tooth has an amygdala, or a brain for that matter? Highly impossible to interpret what the hell is going on in that sentence. I say some guy lost circulation to one particular tooth. Now it's beginning to lose heat due to the lack of blood flowing through it. Then the tooth falls out. The end. As for the disco stick, we can just easily dismiss it as a shiny phallic symbol, no? Either that, or some warlock has a gem-studded broom stick and Lady Gaga is extremely tempted to ride this Harry Potter-esque hot rod. But I'm just saying this out of context, of course.

When lyrics don't make sense, just connect to some sexual related topics. It usually works and it's certaintly working for the disco stick. As for the cold bicuspid, haha no. But before we conclude this short battle, let's compare the titles of the songs shall we? LoveGame vs. Mouth's Cradle. Sure, it is easy to see that Gaga failed whilst using Microsoft Word and forgot to use spell check before she released her album. Mouth's Cradle? After reading the title for the 53rd time, I say it's very poetic. In a way, she's trying to connect the comfort of a mouth (from its "warmthness") with comfort as in a child's cradle as the gums cradle all of the teeth in its embrace. But the first 52 times totally got me screwed over. So we all know that Bjork won this.
