Lyrics done wrong
« on: December 15, 2006, 03:16:00 pm »
please forgive me if this is a rehash of an old thread (insert "ancient" ani-gif here), but who here will 'fess up to getting lyrics to a song embarrassingly wrong?  or has a funny story of lyrical confusion?
 
 a few months ago i was busted for singing:
 "i play a Saturn side-swiped, hear the bright  being bare, bare,
 let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in an auto-car"
 
 (apparently i'm not the only one,  someone admitted thinking it was "Let's pretend we're in an article")  
 
 the funniest i've heard was from a friend who had been married for 3 years at the time.  some Deep Purple came on the radio while he was cruisin' down the highway with his wife.  at the chorus, she belted out at the top of her lungs:
 
 "sloooooow comin' walter,
 fire engine guy!!!"
 
 he told me he had to pull over and stop the car because he was laughing so hard.  guess he learned something about his wife that day     :)

For the longest time, I honestly thought Bruce was singing in Born to Run;
 
 Just wrap your legs around these velvet hips
 And strap your hands 'cross my entrance
 
 It always seemed odd that the Boss would have such nasty lyrics.
 
 I've never made this mistake, but I still think "Scuse me, while I kiss this guy" is the best.

In the Thievery Corporation song "Until the Morning," it sounds like Emiliana Torrini is singing, "I feel strong, I feel rigid / It's nothing to do with a midget..."
 
 But those can't possibly be the words!!

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
 All the sweet, green icing flowing down
 Someone left the cake out in the rain
 I don't think that I can take it
 'Cause it took so long to bake it
 And I'll never have that recipe again
 Oh, no!

 
 What? Those really are the words? Are you shitting me?
