Unintended lyrics

That old moldy Louie Louie song (I've long forgotten the artist) had to be one of the most controversial 45's ever spun at a high school sock-hop. You can barely understand the lyrics, but that never stopped those fr!(k!^ bible-beaters from imagining the absolute worst.

If not "...a douch another runner in...", what is it? I've been puzzling over this since I first heard Manfred Mann's version 28 years ago. Does anyone know?

How about "We're just stupid entertainers" rather than "We're just stupid. Entertain us." Forget who sings it, but I heard the singer in a radio interview expressing his frustration over the way people hear this lyric, rather than what he meant. Serves him right for knocking his fans.

My wife thought the Motels song said "Only the lonely get laid" as opposed to "Only the lonely can play."

for years I thought it was "Do the lucky lady" instead of "Dude Looks Like a Lady" - aerosmith.

I looked up some REM Lyrics once - I STILL don't know what Stipe was saying - I'm sure only HE does.......

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?

Boa2 can you understand anything Bruce Springsteen says???

"Wrapped up like a douche another runner in the night"
--Blinded by the Light

I sit corrected and more knowledgable thanks

'scuse me while I kiss the sky' was Jimi Hendrix. I forget who recorded second song you reference but the nylons were not the originals.

That was Hendrix not Dylan: "Excuse me while I kiss the sky".
