I just had a friend sing “Shemo the mysterious whale” for the U2 song “Mysterious Ways”. I thought he was joking but apparently he’s not. Any more examples of mis quoted lyrics? (of course, there’s the famous Hendrix, “Excuse me, while I kiss this guy”) |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Morristown, TN | | There are several that bands I have been in have done wrong on purpose. No one notices except the band, so it's pretty funny. A couple of examples are:
In the South's Gonna Do It Again, instead of Richard Betts pickin' on that red guitar, he's urinating on it.
In Hold Your Sweet Lips A Little Closer to the Phone, we asked her to hold her bosom to the phone.
That's all I can think of for now, but there have been many.
The band I'm in now doesn't do this. We are too mature for such foolishness.

That's my personal fav. Have overheard numerous debates about what he's really saying. |

To make things worse, it was at karaoke  . He got it right once after his girlfriend corrected him at the end of the song. Then he switched back to his lyric. Apparently he mishears and misreads lyrics. |

Listen to the song... while you are doing so, imagine Eddy lurking in some folliage waiting to pounce on you with some of the most metal baked goods the world has to offer. If that doesn't make you laugh yourself silly, then I don't know what will. |

My sister (who was 7 at the time) pipes up from the back seat singing, "She wears Batman pajamas!"
My Dad had to pull the car over because we were laughing so hard. |

|  | My favorite songs were never heard on the radio | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Tulsa, OK | | I have this book by Gavin Edwards on just this topic: ' Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy.
Some examples:
"The ants are my friends/They're blowin' in the wind" -- Dylan
"Sweet dreams are made of cheese" -- Eurythmics
"The girl with colitis goes by" -- Beatles (Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds)
My brother for the longest time thought a certain Prince song went "Do you recollect" (Little Red Corvette). Funny stuff. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
