A singer whose feelings were deep,
His promise of true love to keep.
With a hopeful "Oh, do!"
"Please just love me!" said you,
For affection his heart would then leap.
Song lyrics reimagined as a limerick.
A singer whose feelings were deep,

More than just a quirky 80s hit, Men Without Hats’ “The Safety Dance” emerged as a vibrant protest against the rules of the dance floor—a call for freedom of expression when bouncers tried to stop new wave pogoing. We’ve captured this defiant spirit in a concise, 5-line limerick, offering a new perspective on grooving exactly how you please.
A dancer declared with great glee,
"My friends who won't dance aren't for me!
We'll go where we please,
And groove with great ease,
Where safety's our guiding decree!"
This limerick perfectly distills the song’s core message: a joyful, anti-establishment declaration of independence on the dance floor. It champions the right to dance individually and freely, making “safety” not about restraint, but about the security of expressing oneself authentically, just as “The Safety Dance” championed.
His troubles, once distant and small,
Now loomed, casting shadows on all.
He longed for the day,
When love was a play,
And yesterday answered his call.
Meat Loaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” is a legendary rock opera, a wild ride through youthful passion, promises, and the harsh dawn of regret. We’ve cleverly distilled this epic narrative into a concise, 5-line limerick, offering a new perspective on the whirlwind of infatuation and its consequences.
A young man with passion ablaze,
For his love, went through quite a few phase.
He begged, "Be my wife!"
Then regretted his life,
And for time's swift conclusion did craze.
This limerick masterfully encapsulates the song’s signature blend of intense desire and immediate buyer’s remorse. It highlights the fleeting nature of passionate declarations and the swift arrival of reality, echoing the dramatic and often humorous narrative that defines “Paradise by the Dashboard Light.”
From Claire, a pink-aired domain,
A fast Plymouth caused quite a strain.
No heads could be found,
On that colorful ground,
Where death is unknown to remain.
