Does anybody remember the sketches on SNL
by Tim Kazyrinski (spelling?) about 13years
ago?

I would appreciate any of his stuff that you can
send, as I remember very little of it....

Some examples...

ORGASMS

newlyweds get DoItTilYou'reSore-gasms

Salesman get Door-to-Door-gasms

tennis players get Bjorn Borg-asms

etc....

Danil (who will compile if I receive enough to make it
worth the effort)

When the then-Soviet leader Yuri Andropov died, Tim mocked the seriousness of
the New York Post's headline. It said: "Andropov Dead."

He said it should have been along the similar lines of humor the Post is known
for. He gave numerous examples of what it should have been, like: "How Now
Mos-Cow?", "We told Yuri, 'go to a cliff Andropov!'", among others....

That was a character called Dr. Jack Bitovsky (sp?) during the news with
Brad Hall. Some of those were great. I wish I could remember all the ones
about STD's...

Baseball players with high batting averages get:
GOING -- GOING -- GONORRHEA

Not sure what that itching and burning is, you may have:
IPHYLLIS

Munchkins from Oz got
TWERPIES

just a few I could think of... probably very inaccurate
Maybe check your local video store for SNL classic tapes. They usually have
a list of sketckes on the back.

A girl who does it to get a fur coat has ulteriorgasms.

I think the sketch started with him giving some background on
orgasms, saying "Man first discovered the orgasm around 5000 B.C.
Women first discovered the orgasm around 1970..."

Tim was best known for his St. Huebert's Chicken ads, and his
contributions to the classic Police Academy series.

The only one that I can remember is "I MARRIED A CHIMP", a 'sit-com'
with Tim as the hapless husband doing the sketch with a large chimp
wearing a nightgown (his 'wife') and a small chimp in a diaper (his
'son'). Very funny, as Tim (with very straight face) tries to
carry on a one-sided conversation with his 'wife' as 'junior' is
tearing the bed-room set to pieces!

Not until you mentioned it, sorry.

But, on listening to Whitesnake's live version of "Ain't No Love In The Heart
Of The City," I kept onhearing (but I know it wasn't the lyric) "Anal love in

I know they can't be saying this, but during The Who's "Who Are You?" it
sounds like the sing:

Who the f*ck are you.....

I've never been able to figure out what else it might be.

When I lived near Phila., the morning DJ (Harvey in the morning)
would come up with themes. One day it was about misunderstood
lines from songs. I can only remeber two:


"excuse me while I kiss this guy" vs. "the sky" ??? by Hendrix
(I'm ashamed to admit I don't remember the song now)
(Please don't mail the title, I'll remember right after this posts)


"Just brush my teeth before you leave me" vs. "brush my cheek" Angel
of the Morning(?) by just about everybody.
Harvey pointed out that brushing someones teeth didn't make much
sense - but brushing their teeth made less.


A DJ near here one day pointed out a line from Midnight Oil. In
Blue Sky Mine (?), there's choruses of "Who's gonna save me".
She pointed out that on some of them they actually say (she
thinks - I agree) that they sing "Who's gonna shave me".
If you're confused, look at a picture of their lead singer.

I'm pretty sure that is precisely what they are saying...


One day my friends and I discovered that we all had different
interpretations of a Neil Diamond (I think) song, which turns
out to be called "Forever in Blue Jeans".
I thought it was "A Rebel in Blue Jeans", and everyone else
thought it was "The Reverend Blue Jeans".

And: has anyone else noticed that "When the Going Gets Tough"
sounds like "Well you can go and get stuffed" ?

And what about this oldie that I could never quite come to
terms with:
I'm not talking 'bout Bolivia (?)
And I don't want to change your life,
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around (??)
And I'd really love to see you tonight.
Any ideas?

Ha! This is hilarious! When this thread first started eons ago I
posted this very song because a friend of mine heard it that way
and never realized what they were saying till I sang it one day.

It's by England Dan and John Ford Coley and the name of the song
is "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight."

You could make a whole topic out of R.E.M. songs... I compiled
the lyrics to a song called SITTING STILL from their aptly named
MURMUR album. I really should post it... A friend of mine
really died when he read my version (or atleast what I thought
I heard...) I do remember the chorus went something like:

"Up to pine caded buys of kitchen signs but knot me in...

Quite right. If you listen to the album it's very obvious. I used to work at a radio station where
they played the album version until one day some self-righteous prick called to
complain about this horrid affront to his delicate sensibilities. The manager, terrified of the FCC
(as most of them are) imediately had the song pulled from rotation until a "cleaned-up"
version could be obtained. A short while later we got a version from the record label that had
this line muddled. The "nasty" word hasn't actually be taken out, just sort of garbled. I suspect this
is the version you are most likely to hear on most radio stations.

A friend of mine told me a story about his french Canadian class mate.
One day his friend, whose english is still choppy, was talking about
when he was at home in Quebec listening to the radio. He heard the song by
Brian Adams, "Cuts like a knife", except the way he heard it was "Cock
sucking wife". He couldn't believe how liberal english radio was to be
playing such music.

I thought it was Bolivia too!!!! However, I cleared it ukp when a friend of
mine told me it was millenium. "I'm not talking about millenium..." i.e.
forever. Dumb song anyway.

Several years ago, I could've sworn that the song
"My Sharona" (by The Knack maybe?) was actually
"Rice-A-Roni" Who knew?

Also, a friend of mine's mother for years thought that
C.C.R. was singing "there's a bathroom on the right."
(And I thought I was stupid!)

That's "I'm not talking 'bout movin' in"
otherwise, you've got it right.

This reminds me of an old CCR song, which for years I thought said:

I kin still hear the ol' bope tula
Rana tula buckin' bay
I kin still hear the ol' how'n dow pow kid
Chase you're gonna hoodoo there

Chorus:
Born on the Bayou
Born on the BAYYYOOUU

What about one of Roxette's songs "Dangerous"

"She's got what it take to make mince meat"

It actually is "She's got what it takes to make ends meat"

I also knew someone who thought CCR was saying "there's a
bathroom on the right."

He also thought the son "Lack of Communication" was
"Jack of with Lubrication"

I knew someone else who thought that Olivia Newton John's
"Physical" was "Let's get biblical."

By the by, in the Eagles "Hotel California", what's "Colitas"?

I used to sing along "I'm not talking 'bout the linen"; I think it's
really "I'm not talking 'bout movin' in."

I think it`s "I`m not talkin' bout millennium", pronounced with a
southern accent so the second syllable is "Lin" instead of "Len".
Apparently, he wants to make it clear that he doesn't want to
see her just to discuss James Mitchener novels.

Mary H. is right; it is "I'm not talkin 'bout movin'in", the rest is right.

This thread has been going on for so long, I thought I would finally add
my 2 cents worth......for anyone who wants to hear it.

I don't know if this one has been asked before, but in the song
"Oh, what a night" by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons....somewhere
in the middle of the song, is what sounds like:

"I felt the rush like a rolling ball of thunder......etc"

I can never work out what these few words *actually* are....or could it even
be possible that my hearing is better than what I thought, and I have got it
right?? Hmmm....now that is a possibility that I haven't really considered.

Blame the Japanese
--------------------------------------------------------------
The New York Times, January 29, 1992
By George Dawson

When the phone is out of order, and the roof has sprung a leak,
When the money in your paycheck barely gets you through the week,
When the baby has the colic, and your dog is full of fleas,
Don't complain to Washington - just blame the Japanese.

When the crooks are running rampant, and the judges are too lax,
When letters from the I.R.S. demand some extra tax,
When your son is quitting college, and your daughter's getting D's,
Just do what Iacocca does - and curse the Japanese.

When your taxes keep on rising, while your bank-book starts to shrink,
When pollution clouds your city, so the air begins to stink,
When the temperature is falling, and your pipes are sure to freeze,
Call upon your Congressman to bash the Japanese.

When everyone around you is complaining of the news,
And some condemn the Arabs while others blast the Jews,
Stiffen up your lip, my son, and never bend your knees -
Just be a true American, and blame the Japanese.
