Don't drink out of that one!

I know everyone has their stories of misunderstood song lyrics, but the Atlanta Rhythm Section (I guess I'm showing my age here) song "So Into You" was on the radio this morning and it reminded me of my friend who, when we were younger, thought the line "When you walked into the room, there was voodoo in the vibes" was actually "When you walked into the room, there was doo-doo in the glass". It made me laugh all over again.

Well did that actually ever happen to her? Really? Oh, that's gross.

You know the Motels' song - Only the lonely can play?

I had a friend who swore it was "Only the Lonely Get Laid."

She could not be corrected no matter what.

Too funny! I'm terrible with song lyrics; just the other day I finally got all the words to Blondie's "The Tide is High." I always thought she was singing, "I'm not the kind of girl who gives a dammmmmmmm, mmm, oh, no, oh, oh oh." And just the other day I realized she was singing, "I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that...."

Doh!

ooh, Busy Mom, that is gross!

Who would ever write a song with those kind of lyrics!

My brother thought the lyrics to Queen's "Another one bite the dust" was: "Another one rides the bus."

Dunt, Dunt, Dunt... Another one rides the bus... and another one gone and another one gone... another one rides the bus.

Forgot about that... great post. lol.

I did something similar with "Our Lips Are Sealed" by the Go-Gos. I had it mixed up with thinking there was a seal in there somewhere.

Sadly, I have that CD, and saw them in concert recently.

Talk about showing my age ;)

Tee hee hee!!! Travis messes up all the lyrics in just about every song - i have a hard time driving and laughing until I split my pants with him singing in the car!

I was laughing hard as I was going through some of those misheard lyrics. My face hurts now.

I loved that song...and yes, I'm a bit older. But just a bit.

Hi there Busy Mom. Haven't been by for a while. It's a hot.. hot.. hot.. day here in northern Wyoming.

Happy Birthday! Birthday boy!

Elton John's "benny and the jets" where he sings, "she's got electric boots, a mohair suit, you know I read it in a magazine" - I thought it was, "she's got electric boobs, her mom does too...".

All this time I thought the line was, "there was voodoo in the night". Thanks for clearing that up.
