Songs Featuring “abstruse”

Eve 6 - How Much Longer

Time: 1:16

(With no regrets)

Abstruse and lacking rationale

But making so much sense somehow

Eve 6 - How Much Longer

Frank Zappa - Packard Goose

Time: 0:13

Maybe you thought I was the packard goose (da, da-da, da-da)

Or the Ronald MacDonald of the nouveau-abstruse

Well, fuck all them people, I don't need no excuse

Frank Zappa - Packard Goose

Andrew Bird - Are You Serious

Time: 0:30

Used to be willfully obtuse

Or is the word abstruse?

Semantics like a noose

Andrew Bird - Are You Serious
