"Anything too stupid to be said, is sung."

François-Marie Arouet

I believe Voltaire was saying that something is in the past (sung) as is just too perfunctory. It means something said (sung) was characterized by routine or superficial words, which are mechanical at best. Contextually the word sung means, a song that was sang had not quality neither importance, just as, “anything stupid to be said,” has no place in the present (happening). Therefore, whatever it about to be said, if is stupid or none sense, should either not be said, or we ought to ignored it as if it were something that is not here, in the present. I once heard a quote that says" Be here now, the past and the feature are only thoughts, only the present moment and what we do is real." So, “anything too stupid to be said is sung,” could mean that is not real because it ought to be consider the past (thinking) and the past is none-existence anymore (outdated).

  3. Have you ever heard the song 'shake your laffy taffy?'  That says it all.

    You would laugh in someone's face if they said it to you, but as a song, it became a top hit.  I'm going literal with this one.

  4. well, hes speaking metaphysicphoriphobically, obviously.

  5. “If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,

    It's just a spring clean for the May queen.

    Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run

    There's still time to change the road you're on.”

    Does that make sense? NO, why? cause its a song!

    if i said that to a cop he would arrest me for being high.
