Poetic licence is one thing, but sometimes songwriters push their lyrics to the bounds of nonsense. Here are some of the best impossible lyrics from pop’s Dr Seusses.

Carly Rae Jepsen, ‘Call Me Maybe’
Lyric: “Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad”
So you’re pining for people you’ve never met and don’t even know exist, Carly? You must miss people a lot.

Oasis, ‘Champagne Supernova’
Lyric: “Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball”
Unless said cannonball is rolling pretty slowly then you, sir, are on very strong drugs.
