SirSamuel, Blinded By the Light
Roll up like a douche Rev up like a deuce
bcgm3, 🎵 Another boner in the night 🎵
j4k3, (edited ) Back nearly 20 years ago Disney California Adventure (Anaheim, Cali) had this interactive exhibit where you did various things in line with the Disney animated kids movies. One was playing the Seven Dwarfs “Heigh ho, heigh ho, it’s off to work we go…”
In a little alcove in front of a group of friends was another group of cute mid-teen little Latino girls. They were dressed somewhat provocatively for the average Disney guest and all were wearing bold makeup, (not judging, but they stood out). The typical Spanish accent was prevalent with the silent “h”. Their innocent rendition as they sang along was hilarious. Happy as they could be they were singing, “I hoe, I hoe, it’s off to work we go…”
Insig, José Feliciano - Feliz Navidad.
Sounds like he is saying ‘release mum and dad.’ interlace with him singing ‘I want to wish you a merry christmas’
I was in stitches at the dinner table when I heard it. Trying to tell my brother while crying and hyperventilating with laughter made it even better.
MIDItheKID, I hear this song in my head every time I see a “for lease” sign…
For lease navidad.
bcgm3, Billy Joel - She’s Always a Woman
She hides like a child but she’s always a woman to me == a weasel-woman to me
hactar42, My sister-in-law thought the chorus of Metallica’s Battery was “backdoor raid”. Now I can’t unhear it.
I also thought in Live and Let Die Paul sang, “give an Alabama yell” instead of “give the other feller hell.”
eran_morad, Who, from time to time, has not been revved up like a douche?
corsicanguppy, I was like last month old when a cover performance finally suggested it could be “deuce”, like the coupe, instead. I knew “douche” was wrong, but I never had the presence to ask.
I still don’t know whether that’s right.
eran_morad, Deuce is correct. The tune that everyone knows is actually a cover by Manfred Mann of Springsteen’s original (yes, Bruce Springsteen). The lyrics were tweaked a bit. Springsteen’s lyrics are “Blinded by the light, cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night”.
intensely_human, In the middle of the night is best
Towerofpain11, Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Casserole, casserole, on the wall.
Kolanaki, (edited ) Head Automatica - I Shot William H. Macy
What my friends and I heard when the album dropped: “Yeah, yeah… I put a sausage in your little hand!”
What the actual line says: “Yeah yeah, I’ll put assassins in your little head.”
Although my all-time favorite is and will forever be:
“Excuse me, while I kiss this guy” - Jimmy Hendrix
Rai, Love Head Automatica (and Glassjaw!)
I’mma pull up I Shot William H. Macy now.
Waldowal, Selena Gomez - Good For You - “I’m 14 carats. I’m 14 carets I’m farting carrots. I’m farting carrots.”
Redoomed, “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift
Got a long list of ex-lovers
“Lonely Starbucks lovers”

Crafter72, (edited ) I wish I didn’t have to pee be so bad.

Though sometimes when Tom and Mark performs live, they butchered some lines for some dumb jokes lol.
Artard, Had a friend who’s little bro thought “Liberate my madness” from Liberate by Slipknot was “Never eat bananas”.
shandrakor, Who’ll stop Lorraine?
I thought it was about a lady who fell down a hill.
