'scuse me, while I kiss this fly...

[mrtnmoon]

ok.... I'll admit, I'm very bored, so I thought I'd start a new music thread. there aren't nearly enough of those already.

here's the premise.... if I can explain it clearly enough. I wanna know about misheard lyrics. for example: "there's a bathroom on the right", instead of "there's a bad moon a-rising," or the title of this thread which is a misheard version of "'scuse me while I kiss the sky" from jimi hendrix' purple haze. I think there's a book out there somewhere that contains those examples, among others.

so, tell me the lyrics you got all screwed up in your cranium.... or, lyrics that you've changed yourself, just to be funny. like robert palmer's addicted to love. in my mind, the line is usually, "might as well face it, you're a dickhead in love."

sock it to me.

one more to get us rolling.... john waite's missing you. the song can break my heart, but if I'm feeling bitter instead of sentimental all those background "missing you"'s become "piss on you."

ok, this died pretty quickly. I wonder if it would help if I turned it into a game.

one person gives a line or title from a song that they've changed the words around to and the next person has to guess the real song. to use an example from my first post, the clue might be piss on you... piss on you... and someone might guess that I meant missing you. it may die again, but what the hell, I'll give it a shot....

this is a line from a song and also happens to be the title:
if you don't blow me right now....

If you don't know me by know... I just happen to know that one.


Sleazy, sleazy like Sunday morning..

Actually, I'd always heard Jimi's misquote as "'scuse me while I kiss this GUY"...

Yeah, Jimi as gay... righhhhhht!

ummmm... if you wanted someone to guess, you made it pretty..... easy. I'd have gotten it anyway... that's one of my all-time favorites. thanks for playing. it's weird... I first had the idea for this thread a few months ago and at the time I had all kinda of lyrics in mind, but the well seems to be dry right now.

p.s.: you were right, of course.... if you don't know me by now

ya know, you're right... I think 'scuse me, while I kiss this fly actually came from a take-off on hendrix that I saw michael winslow do.

It's a great idea for a thread.

inspired by a post from another thread.... this is how I used to think of a song that was a pretty big hit a few years ago:

givin' my meat a stroke-a

 

[Abner Devereaux]

The song is Detroit Rock City by KISS.

Here is how the line goes . . . Theres a truck ahead, lights starin at my eyes

Oh my god, no time to turn !


The way some think it says . . . Theres a truck ahead, lights starin at my eyes

Oh my god, no time to turd !

The real lyrics were:
Got my mind set on you

But misheard as:
Thought my mom sat on you.

true story...one night I went up for karoake..even though i can't spell that word..after a few drinks...and swore that the lyrics to Elvis's "I'm all shook up" where "I'm Marsha Cup"

that actually has a certain kind of logic to it, if you think about the fact that you may shit your pants if you thought you were about to have a head-on collision.

Yeah, Jimi as gay... righhhhhht!

Had that been true, Pete Townshend would have been the happiest girl alive.

Dear God ~ XTC

The real lyrics: And all the people that you made in your image, still believing that junk is true.

misheard as: And all the people that you made in your image, still believe in that chunky stew.

(I never suffered under this misapprehension, but I've encountered several people who did.)

I don't know if I believe in god or not, but I've always believed in chunky stew.

I've tried this as a game, and I've tried it with just getting people to post songs they misheard lyrics to. neither one seems to have really caught on.... but, inspired by using in the air tonight in another thread..... I usually think of the line as, "and I feel like coming in your hair tonight...."

as for "givin' my meat a stroke-a", that was the ricky martin "classic" livin' la vida loca.
