Unintended lyrics


Music to sooth the savage beast (breast).What songs do you know that people routinely misunderstand the lyrics, to the concernation or amusement of the artist. For example Dylans's "Excuse me while I turn and kiss the guy" (kiss the sky). Nylons "Give me the Beach Boys and free my soul" (Give me the beat boys and free my soul I want to get lost in the rock and roll)

"Wrapped up like a douche another runner in the night"
--Blinded by the Light
Grunts and growls mostly, Nrchy, but I still like him. Make me laugh just thinking about all of those passages that sound like one long mumbled word, or like the first couple of REM albums. What IS Michael Stipe saying? Anyone's guess, I suppose. Springsteen may be the only performer I would see again in a stadium, however. He had 65,000 people into the music like it was a nightclub.

Speaking of REM, here's another one:
"Call me when Jah wake her?"
--Sidewinder Sleeps...the third song on "Automatic for the People" What the heck is he singing on the refrain?
It's pretty easy to hear the "rich fag jew" line at the end of "Baby You're a Rich Man", which was in reference to Brian Epstein.

"I need a one ton tomato." How many times did I hear that Juan Tanamera (sp?) song performed on the NYC subway? I lost count.
