    AN excellent idea for another htread: Misheard lyrics (did we do this once on the brand X site?)

    This Thread was actually started by marsupial while I was trying to fogure out how to put all of these together. By time I sorted it all out she was ahead of me.

      At first I thought it was "Lucy and this guy with diamonds..."
      What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

          I must have had a crappy radio because it took me a long time to figure the "I'm your Venus" lyrics. I had questions in the meantime re: why that song was played on the radio that I kept to myself.

                  Assuming the 'V" was getting lost in your speaker, did you also wonder how that line went with "I'm your desire"? All about forbidden narcissism or something?

                      We had a conversation about these at work a few months back and we were talking about footloose. The theme song Footloose she always thought the lyrics were:

                      Jack, get back
                      back on the whole wheat track


                      She said she had heard the song 1000 times and never realized how off she was. She always figured it was wheat because he worked at the flour mill.

                              My mistake caused multi-faceted confusion.

                                  That was awesome, Surfah. It sure sounded to me like that's what Eddie is singing.

                                      "Blinded by the light.....struck up like a douche in the middle of the night.." or something like that.

                                          I thought the same thing. The actual lyrics are "revved up like a duece, another roller in the night"

                                          I hate that song.

                                              I think that's revved up like a deuce. But it does sound like douche.

                                                  It wasn't until I was 10 months into my mission and on splits with a fellow gringo that we mistakenly figured out that he was saying "Soy un perdedor."

                                                      1. The opening lines of Def Leppard, Rock of Ages.

                                                      I have heard so many different theories, including the "running through the forest" one.

                                                      It sounds like "unta gleeben glouten globen" or something like that.

                                                      2. When I was in undergrad, one of the CDs that dominated every aspect of our DNA was "August and Everything After" by Counting Crows. So this girl in my ward is in our apt looking through some CDs and says we should get rid of the AAEA disc because it is a bit blasphemous. I asked her what she was talking about and she said that in one of the songs, they say "Oh my God, somewhere in middle america" over and over. LOL. she was as dumb as a post.

                                                          Michael Jackson, "Billie Jean"

                                                          We were clipping a lot of coupons at the time (1983) and they all said "to redeem mail to" such-and-such address in Clinton, Iowa....so my nine-year-old brain heard:

                                                          "She's just a girl from Clinton, Iowa"
                                                          instead of
                                                          "She's just a girl who claims that I am the one"


                                                          It's easier to hear how if you sing it.
                                                          "Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
                                                          The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --Solon
