ZZ-Top, "Slip Inside My Sleeping Bag":
Sure, this song is about sex, but, literally, you don't give a fuck. What makes it a NOTHING song, in other words, is that there is NO ENTHUSIASM about sex, which is supposed awesome. There are only lackadaisical imperatives focused on the sleeping bag itself. This is called "false metonymy." And so the song ends up being ABOUT a stupid sleeping bag that some truck driver's farted in for years.When it's cold outside and you want to sleep in
go for a pallet that's so nice and thin.
Zip it on around while it's on the ground,
spread it out and lay it on down.
Slip inside my sleeping bag,
slip inside my sleeping bag.
Please submit your list of NOTHING songs.
