[Not_Giving_Up]

My daughter (8) thought that "Viva Las Vegas" was "Visa Las Vegas"...My son (11) thought it was "People Las Vegas"

As a child, I thought the Coke song was "Coke adds life to Mr. Bunny's wife, so have a Coke and a smile"...My mom had me sing this for all of her friends. Hey, when you're four, Mr. Bunny could have a wife, and she might be tired.

10. Just this once, I will confess - Clash lyrics aren't the easiest

to understand and I always thought Joe Strummer sang, "better leave town if you only want her knockers" instead of "better leave town if you only want to knock us."

19. Russians sing the Stones

I was in a campground upstate and this huge group next door was singing. So we went over and joined them. They were Russians, passing the guitar around so it comes to me. I can't sing and play at the same time usually, so I let one of them sing "Only Rock and Roll." He was close. He sang:

"If I could stick a life in my heart,
spell it all over the States
would it be enough for your cheap car,
if I broke down and cried..."

26. The Bee Gee's song, Night Fever:

What I thought it was: Acme burg, Acme burg...you don't have to do it...........

[motely36]

28. Train - Drops of Jupiter

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
Van Halen is overrated

I like my version better. So I usually sing it that way.

[mac56]

29. My favorite

from some band members in St. Paul. Playing a bar gig: on a break, a slightly inebriated young woman requested they play "Slow Motion Walter."

None of the musicians knew what she meant. She got quite emphatic and recited the lyrics: "Slow Motion Walter...the fire-engine guy.."

Still nothing. She insisted it's played on classic rock stations all the time. They asked her to sing it, and she started singing the bass riff.

That's when they realized she meant "Smoke On The Water."

"Sloooow Motion Wallllll-terrrrr...the fire-engine guy..."

Later they changed their band name to "Slow Motion Walter".

[Not_Giving_Up]

30. What's really scary there...

is that I knew what song that was just from reading Slow Motion Walter.

[Left Is Write]

41. Classic!

I love that they changed their name.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

31. Blink-182: "What's my agent get?"

It's equally appropriate either way, really...

[demily]

32. Different Strokes theme song

My boyfriend thought it was "Then along come two, they've got nothin' but their JEANS." :P

[Shrubhater]

34. What

were the original lyrics?

[Must_B_Free]

36. I think it is 'nothing but their Jeans'

[Left Is Write]

39. But that *is* the lyric.

[Bullwinkle925]

35. "There's a Can of Mush All Over the World"

My sister would sing instead of "There's a Kind of Hush All Over the World".....hahahahaha.

[Must_B_Free]

38. "Michelle, how deep is your love?"

instead of "to show, how deep is your love?"

[livinginphotographs]

40. My screenname comes partly from a misheard Cure lyric.

From the song "Disintegration": "Leave you with photographs."

Of course, in my incredibly inebriated state, it sounded like "living in photographs."

Thought it was pretty cool, so I took it.

[Fifth of Five]

42. My brother thought the words to Three Dog Night's

"Bad Moon Rising" were

"there's a bathroom on the right," instead of "there's a bad moon rising."

[Minimus]

49. I'm not talking about the linens, and I don't want to change your mind

53. My friends and I thought the same thing! eom

[Pithlet]

54. "I'm not talking about The Limited"

71. Can't fight this feeling

I can’t fight this feeling any longer
And yet I’m still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that I can’t hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we’re together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
I’m keeping you in sight
You’re a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter’s night
And I’m getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can’t fight this feeling anymore
I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for
It’s time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can’t fight this feeling anymore
I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can’t fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I’ve been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I’m following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I’d never find

And even as I wander I’m keeping you in sight
You’re a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter’s night
And I’m getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can’t fight this feeling anymore
I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for
It’s time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can’t fight this feeling anymore
I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can’t fight this feeling anymore.

[October]

86. Thank you! "Crawl upon the floor!" LOL

That's it! So, it's not "...throw up on the floor."

67. I like the John Prine story

about the happy enchilada.

He recorded a live version of That's The Way The World Goes Round, and paused mid-song to tell about a show he was playing where a girl came up o the stage and asked if he could play the Happy Enchilada song. He thought she had him confused with someone else, but when she told him the lyrics he knew what she was talking about. . .

"That's the way the world goes round,
You're up one day, the next you're down
it's a happy enchilada and you think you're gonna drown"

"happy enchilada" = a half an inch of water

:)

[Glenda]

81. A little known Queen song ...

Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)

I always hear the last line below as "Peanut Girl" instead of "Be Not Gone"


When I'm gone
No need to wonder if I ever think of you
The same moon shines
The same wind blows
For both of us, and time is but a paper moon...
Be not gone

Miss Virginia, I want my mama!
