Have you ever thought that the words in a song were one thing, but they were som!
Question: When I was a kid, my mom used to play the oldies station on the car radio. One of the songs they played the most often was "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" by the Hollies. For some reason, I thought it was "Long Cool Woman in a Fat Dress". I would often wonder what a long, cool woman was doing in a fat dress. LOL!

I still don't know the lyrics to Smell's like Teen Spirit.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person in the world who doesn't. But the song is immortal. It rocks.
Why would Kurt Cobain write a song about someone he had never even met?!!! Report It

You are a god and i am not, and i just thought you should know
i thought
you're a madona and i'm a nada, i just thought you should know
yeah, eye of the tiger..you know that song from Rocky i think...you should do some googling, ive found at least four different variants of that song, still dont know what the actual lyrics are, guess i could listen to it
I was sent e-mail this morning for a question I answered about the Foo Fighters- the pretender. I thought one of the lines in the refrain was "one of these things is not like the other" and i said it made me think of Sesame Street. You never saw such a bunch of freaked out people about something Dave Grohl sang! Jeez!
here are a couple of my faves- "There's a bathroom on the right" by Credence (bad moon on the rise), "A girl with colitis goes by" (a girl with kaleidoscope eyes) by the Beatles.
I'm sure there are tons more like it.
There's a whole website devoted to misheard lyrics.
I also had an album liner notes where the lyrics were messed up.
Liner notes (ELO song, "Can't get it out of my head") said:
walking on a wave's chicane
actual lyrics are
walking on a wave she came
Even the "misheard lyrics" website messes up too.
From ABBA, "The Dancing Queen"
watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen
Now, those lyrics make no sense. Better would be:
watch that scene, diggin' the dancing queen
Okay, that makes sense, but that's NOT what they're really signing (listen to the song!) They're singing:
watch that scene, dig it! the dancing queen
At first glance, that doesn't appear to make sense, but I went to high school in the late 1970s, and people did say "Dig it!" a lot -- probably culled from a revival of the song "Grazing in the Grass."
A lot of the songs in the late 60s and 70s meant something other then what the words said. I took an after school class in song interpretation and it was very cool!
Do you know "A horse with no name" for example? What do you think it was about? A horse riding through the desert or a heroin trip?
It took me 30 years to interpret Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin.
The Beetles had lots of songs like that.
It is fun to try and interpret them. Try it with your friends.
John Boy and Billy (morning radio hosts) call this disease "chronic lyricosis". Search for this phrase on google. You'll find lots of sites devoted to it. One I like is http://www.kissthisguy.com/
LOL.
