TheMadCap Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida sounds like "In the Garden of Eden" to me ... Actually, that's what it was SUPPOSED to be, but they ended up changing it because it sounds cooler the recorded way... My friend thought "Dirty Deeds" was "Dirty jeans, and Dun-ga-rees" Ozzy was quoted as saying that people would come up to him and ask him if he sings "I tell you to END YOUR LIFE" in Paranoid, and it's actually, " I tell you to ENJOY life"...
X. Benedict Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Growing up I always thought this from Sundown ~Gordon Lightfoot: Misheard: "Sundown ya better take care If I find you bin drinking my Labatt's beer" Original: "Sundown ya better take care If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs" Hey it is fitting! What is worse? Someone messing around with your girl or drinking your beer! Who can blame me? Wasn't Lightfoot from Orillia, ONT? Now my wife always thought this from Pink House ~John Mellencamp: Misheard: "And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evening slop And he looks at her and says: "Hey darling, I can remember when you could starve a fly" Original: "And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evening slop And he looks at her and says: "Hey darling, I can remember when you could stop a clock" WTF is "starve a fly?" Man did I give her the business for that one! She usually never mishears a song. I always thought that was "starve a flower"

The Poojer Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Lets not forget "...For Reverend Blue Jeans..."
Chandler#81 Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Jumpin' Jack flash is a excess gas! Seriously, my sister believes to this day that's what Mick is singin'. He's notoriously tough to comprehend, IMO.
Zamboni Man Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 First time I heard Sex is on Fire by Kings of Leon, I thought the lyrics were saying "This house is on fire". Tough to decipher lyrics over the noise in a crowded bar.
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I always thought that was "starve a flower" Well, all I have to say is that I am humbled and my wife vindicated (of course I won't tell her! )! I don't get much, but I would totally put you and her on a higher intellectual plain than me!
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Anyone comment on Louie, Louie? I don't even think The Kingsmen (or a ton of others) know what they are saying?
