Lyrics you have butchered

Post by Bubba Grizz »

I was listening to Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good and remembered how I used to butcher the lyrics in certain parts. The one that came to mind was "My brother Rodney does 185..." when it was supposed to be "My Maserati does 185...".

Anyone else butcher the lyrics to songs?

I like to throatily murmur away any time Pearl Jam comes on.

There was a argument for a long while amongst my friends about a line in the song "Tha Crossroads". I maintained that it was "I miss my uncle Charles, y'all." and a few people argued to no end it was "I miss my uncle jojo", which is of course wrong, and maybe even a little racist.

My favorite was an ex that swore The Doors were telling her to "drive on through to the other side"

Somehow a friend made "Big ol Jet Airliner" into "Big ol Jed left a light on" from the Steve Miller song.

I love mondegreens.

Creedence:
Don't go 'round tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bathroom on the right

Hendrix:
Excuse me while I kiss this guy

The Beatles:
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with colitis goes by

Robert Palmer:
Might as well face it,
You're a dick with a glove

Elvis:
You ain't never pornographic and you ain't no friend of mine

and appropriate for the time, Nirvana:
Here we are now, in containers
IT'S HARD TO PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT; SOMETHING IS WRONG
I'M LIKE THE UNCLE WHO HUGGED YOU A LITTLE TOO LONG
