Tongue Tied
Red Dwarf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My knees began to quiver (quiver)
And I got a funny feeling (feeling)
In my kidneys and my liver (digestive system baby)
My hands they started shakin' (shakin')
My heart it started thumpin' (boom, boom, boom!)
My breakfast left my body (Heuey, heuey, heuey)
Girl, you make me tongue tied (tongue tied)
Tongue Tied. Whenever you are near me (near me)
Tied tongue (tied tongue)
Tied tongue (tied tongue)
Whenever you're in town.
You make me feel like a clown, girl.
Yes, you make me tongue, tongue (tied, tied)
Tongue Tied. Why can't I tell you clearly? (clearly)
Tied, tied tongue, tongue (tongue tied, tongue tied)
Whenever you're around.
I saw you 'cross the dance floor. (dancing)
I thought of birds and bees (reproductive system baby)
But when I tried to speak to you (talk, talk)
My tongue unravelled to my knees (flippity, flippity flop)
I tried to say, "I love you" (love you)
But it came out kind of wrong girl (wrong girl)
It sounded like, "Noo-noo-na-nee-noo" (tongue tied)
Na-ner-ner-ner-nee-nung-nirl.
Because you make me tongue tied (tongue tied)
Tongue Tied. Whenever you are near me
Nurmy, murmy (nurmy, murmy)
Murmy, nurmy (murmy, nurmy)
Whenever you're in town (in town)
My trousers, they go brown, girl.
Yes, you make me nungy-nangy (nangy-nungy)
Tongue tied. Why can't I tell you cleary? (cleary)
Be-dobby-durgle-dobby-durgle (tongue tied, tongue tied)
Whenever you're around.
Oh, I'm begging on my knees
Sweet, sweet darling listen please
Understand me when I say:
Be-durble-diggle-doggle-diggle-doddle-diddle-day
I'm trying to say I'm tongue tied (tongue tied)
Tongue tied. Whenever you are near me (baby)
Nurmy, murmy (nurmy, murmy)
Murmy, nurmy (murmy, nurmy)
Whenever you're in town (in town)
I feel so much like cryin', girl.
Yes, you make me nungy-nangy (nangy-nungy)
Ningy-nungy. Why can't I tell you clearly? (clearly)
Be-dobby-durgle (dobby-durgle)
Durgle-dobby (durgle-dobby)
Whenever you're around (around)
Whever you're around, girl.
The lyrics to Red Dwarf's "Tongue Tied" song describe the feelings of love and attraction in a humorous and exaggerated way. The singer of the song is immediately smitten with the girl he sees for the first time, and his bodily functions seem to be affected by his infatuation. His knees quiver, he gets a funny feeling in his kidneys and liver, his hands shake, and his heart thumps. He even loses his breakfast because of the intensity of his reaction.
When the girl is near him, he becomes tongue-tied and unable to speak coherently. He tries to express his love for her, but only nonsense comes out of his mouth. He feels like a clown and his trousers even go brown. He begs the girl to listen to him and to understand that he is tongue-tied whenever she is around.
Overall, the lyrics of "Tongue Tied" are a light-hearted and exaggerated portrayal of the physical and emotional effects of falling in love. The song captures the excitement, nervousness, and absurdity of being smitten with someone.

It's so strange to know none of these guys were actors before this show. Rimmer was an impressionist, cat was a singer/dancer, Holly and kryten were comedians and lister was a poet.
@helenl3193
Cat/DJJ was an actor, but also singer/dancer, he trained for all the and was in West End theatre (the London equivalent of NYC's Broadway) and some other acting jobs, including the film Scum with Ray Winston, before doing Red Dwarf.
RLL had done other acting stuff too, but I don't know if he had any professional training, I think it was more fringe theatre and comedy stuff. Still though, impressive group of people that did wonderful things together! :)
@Deevo037
@@helenl3193 I was always impressed by the acting range he had, when you see him in Blade 2 and then as the crusty Caribbean cop in the TV series Death in Paradise you wouldn't believe its the same guy.
@Christian-rn1ur
Lister being a poet is so in character

This would probably win the Eurovision Song Contest.
