I am famous!

Today, Gavin Edwards, author of his first book of misheard lyrics "'Scuse
Me While I Kiss This Guy" just sent me a complementary copy of his excellent
sequel "He's Got The Whole World In His Pants" in the mail. He liked my
submission of a misheard lyric so much he included it on page 129 and put my
name on page 175. It's Snow's song "Informer", but I heard it as "Ant
Farmer". Find the books at Bookstar or other better stores with a humor
selection. Cool.

Look on page 55: Van Halen's song "Panama" was misunderstood as
"Padded Bra".

You can submit your alternate song lyric ideas to him at the address on
either of his books.

It was the dumbest excuse for a book I ever saw. Most of those
'misunderstandings' were a real stretch. I suppose if you
listen to the tunes on a cheap AM radio...

hehe, somebody I knew always sang that Roxette song, "Dressed for
Success", as "Dressed for Safe Sex" LOL! another good one was that
Paul Young song, "Everytime You go Away" the line that follows "...you
take a piece of me with you" was misunderstood as "you take a piece of
meat with you"

It's not too far fetched. One of Metallica's songs I heard
before I knew the name of it was "Five Magics". Well, I
heard it as "Buy matchsticks."

I can see "I buried Pual" for "Cranberry sause", but "Padded bra" is
pushing it.

Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls."

I thought he was saying "fuhuno bellto". I thought it was
some kind of Latin, some weird occult thing.

Def Leppard has to be the worst for misheard lyrics! For instance,
that song on Retroactive : "Fractured Love". Someone please tell me
Joe Elliott is not saying "FRACTURED LOVE, FRACTURED LOVE, I PISSED IN
A VELVET GLOVE"????

Also, on the new album SLANG that nobody has but me. There's a song
called "Breathe A Sigh". It sounds like he's saying "I MOW THE LAWN
FOR YOUR AFFECTION...(BACKGROUND VOCALS CHIME IN WITH: I'D MOW IT DAY
AND NIGHT). Just thought you'd like to know.

That's odd that you should mention that. In an unreleased parody, "Weird

Someone told me a long time ago that there was a parody of "Dirty Deeds" that
went "Dirty deeds done with sheep." I laugh just thinking about that and I'm
dying to hear the song. Anyone know who did it or anything about it?

I had a friend in high school that thought Billy Idol's
"Eyes without a face" was "How's about a date"
I still crack up thinkin' about it.

I figured after a few months of voyeurism on this group, it's time I
contribute. I really like this misheard lyric stuff, because I don't
think there is enough humor on this newsgroup. Most posts seem "angry",
and it's hard to read 100 of those in a row. Here goes:

7 MORE ACTUAL MISHEARD LYRICS :

1) Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady" was misheard as "Do The Fuckin'
Lady" by a friend's friend's mom.

2) Whitesnake's "Kitten's Got Claws" was misheard as "Chicken's Got
Balls" by a friend.

3) (heard on radio) instead of requesting the song "Fame" by David Bowie,
a caller asked for the song "Dave".

4) (heard on radio) instead of requesting the song "Beast of Burden" by
Mick Jagger and Bette Midler, a caller asked for the song "Pizza Burnin'".

5) I, as well as some others I know, misheard the Van Halen lyric on
Diver Down on the song Little Guitars as "Etch a Sketch, Etch a Sketch,
Can Anybody .... ", but found out later that it is actually "Catch as
Catch, Catch as Catch, Can Anybody ... "

6) In the song "Blue Sky Mining" by Midnight Oil, at one point the
singer totally sounds like he says "Who's Gonna Shave Me?", as opposed to
all the other times it is definitely "Save". Could be a joke because he
is bald.

7) Stretching it ... "Someone Shaved My Wife Tonight" could be misheard
for Elton John's "Someone Saved My Life Tonight".

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, fellow "Halen"ers,

JR!

P.S. Note: 1984 was my first VH album, and after wearing it out (which
hasn't stopped yet!), I just had to own all VH pre AND post 1984! No
regrets!

I know this discussion is taking place in a newsgroup related to rock, but
my misheard lyric is from a Christmas song. When I was little, for several
years, I always thought "enexcelcious deo" (or however you spell it), from
the song Gloria, was "in a sheltered stable." Makes sense when you
consider the whole Christmas story and all. I used to belt that out as
loud as I could during Christmas time in church!

Can someone tell me what Roth is saying in "Ice CReam Man" it's the
line where he says,

"I got ?????? and dixie cups, all flavors and push ups too."

What the hell is he saying in the begining? Is sounds like banana or
something.

OK.... some things I misunderstood when I was little.

From the Roy Orbison song "Dream Baby":

I thought "I love you and I'm dreamin' of you, but that won't do"
sounded like "I love you and I'm dreamin' of you, A FELLA won't do"

Same artist's "Workin' for the Man":

There's some line that I thought sounded like "I'm gonna make him a
hand" (i.e., construct a prosthetic device?)

The fadeout on the Marvelettes' "Playboy"

Sounded to me like "Watcha de Playboy, he bringin' me pasta..."

And finally, my sister had me beat. She misunderstood a "Silver
THreads and Golden Needles" lyric. In her ears

"And I cannot drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine"

became

"And I cannot drown my sorrow in the warmth of your behind."

Good grief...

OK. Here is the MOTHER of all misheard lyrics:

The Beatles' "Michelle".

I know Paul is speaking in French. But I used to crack up
when I heard the song cause I thought he was saying "some day monkey's
gonna play piano and song/Play piano and song"
Makes me smile just remembering that!!!
This IS a good thread! You're right, let's continue it!

I'm guilty of this too, as is EVERYONE else I know who's into Halen (i.e.,
everyone I know). By the by, Little Guitars is one of my favorite VH
songs. I once met Judd Winick of MTV's The Real World fame, and he
said he hated this song because an old college roommate used to play
it every day. When he said that (this was in front of a group of about
150 people) I said "hey, careful now ..."

There is another forum of VH discussion that had a HUGE
debate about this. It was decided that what he was saying was "puddin' n'
banana" (but we had some really hilarious guesses too, such as
"b-b-banana" and "I'm gonna put my banana between dixie cups")

The Van Halen I lyric/music book has him saying,
"I got good lemonade, dixie cups, all flavors and push ups too."

Of course, the tab for "Eruption" says "Play as fast as possible" rather
than explaining all the notes. So maybe the writer of the book was
stumped on both the music and the lyrics.

Can't say I did considering it wasn't Me Wise Magic!
But I know what you're talkin' 'bout!

Yeah, but after the third time the novelty wears off when you
find out what the lyrics really are!

I think Roth has a major problem with his speech, Notice how
nobody has come up with any Sammy Screwups?

LOL- This is one that makes sense. For the record the name of the song
is "Angels We Have Heard On High". Easy to understand, considerly they
made Gloria a 15 syllable word <g>.

Considering David Lee Roth's love of womwn and at the time he had a
LLoyd's of London insurance policy against paternity suits not to mention
he was quoted as saying, "Basically, I'm a family oriented man. Last
year I started 3 or 4 myself.

Anyway, when the song "Top Jimmy" came out at first I thought the line
"He's got the sound that everybody digs" was "He's got the semen..."

What is Dave saying during the quiet part of Hot For Teacher:

Give me something to write on, Dude!
or is it...
Give me something to write on, Man!

The more you listen to it, the more it sounds like a sheep going Baaa!

It is "man". (I'm pretty sure)

But, it took me a long time to figure out that it was "I don't FEEL tardy"
, not "I don't FEEL retarded" !

One of my favorites. It's one of the many clues in the Ball is dead
rumor, but listen to Yellow Submarine. The part where John is barking
out naval commands, one sounds alot like "Paul is a queer". The point
was John was trying to turn Paul's fans against him so news of his
"death" wouldn't affect them so hard.

I am serious. In the late 60's, there was a big rumor about Paul dying
and a look-a-like replacing him in the band, and how the Beatles included
clues in their music to break the news to their fans. Other clues
include.

1. The cover of Sgt. Peppers- the guitar flowers looks like "Paul?"
Supposably questioning his existence.

2. Same cover. Their is a hand over Paul's head- supposably a death
refernce.

3. Again same cover. One of the little symobols may or may not be a
death sybol. If it is, it's pointing right at Paul.

4. Inside photo of that album. one picture Paul has his back turned to
the camera. (The reason is it's not him, he was not available when the
pic was taken so someone took his place).

5. The song A Day in the Life has the line 'He blew his mind out in a
car- He didn't notice that the lights have changed".

6. The cover of Abbey Road. Paul is walking out of step from the group.

7. The car on same LP has license plate '29 IF" 29 if lived. Granted he
would have been 28 but a relegion he was into believed life began at
conception.

8. AT the end of Starwberry Fields, many people thought the ine
'Cranberry Sauce" was 'i buried Paul"

9, The song "I Am the Walrus" the walrus is a reference to death.

10. The song "Glass Onion" has the line "Here's another clue for you
all- the walrus was Paul"

11. Revolution #9 played backwards is supposed to contain a reference.

12. Another album cover (forget which one) there is another hand over
Paul's head.

There are others, I am too young to remember when this all came out, but
I do like the beatles, and this was indeed a big story with all these
clues. I don't follow your assanine comment unless you meant where I
said Ball instead of Paul. That one just got by me.

It's also real hard to hear the lyrics to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Love Rollercoaster.  Doesn't it sound like "I've got a pimple so pop it please."    Well, maybe...

BOTH are misheard, though. It's "you gotta fight for the right to party".


Stupid sentiment. Stupider record.

HUH? Dunno, but I always thought it was "You've got to fight for the
right to party"...That's the name of the song, and I'm pretty sure
that's what they sing throughout the song.

I always thought the lyric was "You've got to fight for the right
castrati". Judging by the recent outbreak of castrati postings
around here, my hypothesis might be correct and we are at the dawn
of a new castrati era. There is some seriously sanctimonious
bullsh going down on this subject - but I guess you have to fall
back on reverie if you are two tubes short of a bike ride.

I'm sorry, but my all time favorite was with the lyrics to "Dude Looks like a
Lady". I was sittin' at work once, and a co-worker walked into the computer
room. Aerosmith was playin' on the radio, and he just started singing:

"Do it like a lady...."

I had to leave the room, I was laughing so hard!
