Collins has said that he "improvised" the lyric. Collins was just playing around with a drum machine, and the lyric "su-sussudio" was what came out of his mouth. "So I kinda knew I had to find something else for that word, then I went back and tried to find another word that scanned as well as 'sussudio,' and I couldn't find one, so I went back to 'sussudio'", Collins said.
Obviously, this song was the rare exception where the placeholder wasn't removed.
While lyrically some of his songs may be stream of consciousness and contradictory, that didn't stop them from being huge hits.
The approach of focusing on the groove first and the lyrics last served Phil well. A song doesn't make much sense, as long as it's catchy and triggers an emotional response in the listener.
MAIRZY DOATS (Milton Drake / Al Hoffman / Jerry Livingston)
Merry Macs - 1944 Al Trace & His Silly Symphonists (vocal: Red Maddock) - 1944 Pied Pipers - 1944 Lawrence Welk & His Orch. (vocal: Bobby Beers) - 1944 King Sisters - 1944
I know a ditty, nutty as a fruitcake Goofy as a goon and silly as a loon Some call it pretty, others call it crazy But they all sing this tune:
Mairzy doats And dozy doats And liddle lamzy divey A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
Yes! Mairzy doats And Dozy Doats And liddle lamzy divey A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
If the words sound queer and funny to your ear, A little bit jumbled and jivey, Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats And little lambs eat ivy"
Oh! mairzy doats and dozy doats And liddle lamzy divey A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you - oo? A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
You can add "Frim Fram Sauce" by Nat King Cole (or Diana Krall and others). much speculation about what "oss 'n fay" or "shifafa on the side" might mean.

I'm a big fan of this song and sing it quite often. And those are all made-up words. Love the song - particularly the Diana Krall version (I'm a big fan of hers).
That they didn't spring to mind when I thought about songs with nonsense syllables makes me wonder about Alzheimer's! I'll cross that bridge tomorrow if I remember
Appreciate the input, Noel
P.S. floyd... yep.. Shame on me! for forgetting Mairzy Doats! I totally agree. I used to sing that all the time when I was knee-high to a grasshopper.
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long I am the eggman, we are the eggmen, I am the walrus Goo goo g'joob
Mister city policeman sitting Pretty little policemen in a row See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run I'm crying I'm crying I'm crying I'm crying
Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess Man, you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down I am the eggman, we are the eggmen, I am the walrus Goo goo g'joob
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun If the sun don't come you get a tan from standing in the English rain 'cause I am the eggman, we are the eggmen, and I am the walrus Goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob

My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Cool songs, Noel96! The immediate ones that come to mind are Obla-Di Obla-Da and I Am The Walrus by The Beatles! I know there's more, I just can't think of what they are off the top
