In the recently released survey entitled 'weirdest song lyrics', the song 'Human' by 'The killers' has been declared to top the list.

The group's 2008 single has been named the possessor of the oddest phrase in music, "are we human or are we dancer?", the Guardian reported.

The survey was set up by streaming service Blinkbox, which quizzed 2,000 adults about the most baffling phrases in the songs.

Mark Bennett, Managing director, said that it's true that song lyrics could be sometimes as crazy as a box of frogs, but then that's show business and it would be a really boring world if everything was logical and made sense.

The other song phrases that made to the list were 'I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, 'I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob' by The Beatles, 'What about elephants? Have we lost their trust?' by Michael Jackson, 'Tom bo li de se de moi ya, yeah jambo jambo' by Lionel Richie, 'Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad' by Carly Rae Jepsen among others.
