Steely Dan Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 A few years ago my sister, brother and I were traveling somewhere and the song "You're So Vain" came on the radio and he started singing to it. You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarfit was apricot You had one eye in the mirvarant you watched yourself go by. And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner, and... My sister and I jumped on the scarfit thing. "What the hell are you talking about. " "What? You're scarfit was apricot?" "What's a scarfit?" "I don't know. A thing that goes around your neck" (Big laughter from us! ) "It's your scarf it was apricot." (my brother now embarrassed.) WELL DID YOU KNOW WHAT A MIVIRANT WAS BEFORE YOU HEARD THAT SONG!?! "What the hell is a mivarant" "It's a type of mirror I think" "It's you had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte" I have to admit I thought it was go by instead of gavotte but my sister knew that.

Wacka Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I heard somebody's version of Hendrix: Purple Haze...Excuse me while I kiss this guy Michael Winslow (the sound effects guy from the Police Academy movies) was in one of the Cheech and Chong movies as a guy in the nuthouse who thought he was Hendrix. In the movie he sang " Puple Haze all in my brain What's this Negro doing on the stage? Acting funny, but I dont know why Excuse me while I eat this fly."

WVUFootball29 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 In the ACDC song Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap), I always thought the line went "Dirty Deeds with the Dunder Chief" I remember someone I knew singing that song thinking it was dirty deeds done with sheep Another one that I've caught numerous people on is Bad Moon Rising by Creedance. "There's a bad moon on the rise" seems to always get confused with "There's a bathroom on the right." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There's a bad moon on the rise" seems to always get confused with "There's a bathroom on the right." I saw someone do that at Karaoke, cracked me up. When my daughter was real young, "Pretty Woman" came on the radio and she sang along out loud. When the part came along, Pretty woman, the kind I'd like to meet, she sang, "pretty woman, kinda like me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I don't have one off the top of my head but I do remember when I played in a garage band in the 70's one of the hardest things was trying to figure out lyrics of songs. We'd play the record over and over trying to figure out what the hell they said. It's amazing we ever survived without the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheet music used to save us a bit Sometimes go sneak a look at the music store without making a purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSJayDee Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 There's a line in the Elton John-Kiki Dee song, "don't go breakin my heart" that's "I've got your heart in my sights". For the longest time, I thought it was "I've got you hiding my socks". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
