Members ronnie rawhide Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 The "worst lyrics" thread got me thinking about how people hear different things listening to the same song, especially on old AM station only car radios. The classic is Jimi singing 'Scues me while I kiss this guy." I remember a drunk in my back seat singing "big no jet O line-O" (Big ol' jet Airliner) Anyone...anyone?

Members fantasticsound Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 My brother-in-law was in highschool, in P.E., in right field doing absolutely nothing one day when the guy playing centerfield began complaining about how "gay" Elton John's songs were. He couldn't care less if Elton was gay so long as he didn't sing about it in all kinds of songs. The example he used was, Your Song. ?!? My bro asked him, "What part of, Your Song has 'gay' lyrics??" They guy's reply? "Near the end when he says, '...Those are the sweetest guys.. I've ever seen." Moron! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMS Author MikeRivers Posted August 3, 2006 CMS Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 In folklore (where lots of lyrics are mis-heard and transmitted through the folk process) these are called "Montegreens." That comes from the ballad The Earl of Murray which contains the line: "He has slain the Earl of Murray and laid him on the green" which became "He has slain the Earl of Murray and Lady Montegreen. Who was Lady Montegreen? Certainly nobody in this song. One of my favorites (it's on the record) is John Jackson's lyrics to Frankie and Albert, the last verse of which starts out: "This story has no moral, this story has no end." Jackson sings "Victrola has no morals . . . " Well, he knew what a Victola was, and that sounds like the name of a woman with no morals . . . . Do the PhD thesis.

Members Karma1 Posted August 17, 2006 Members Share Posted August 17, 2006 One time I was in a bookstore and I saw a book called "Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy" which contained commonly misunderstood rock lyrics. One of my favorites was from Led Zepplin's classic Stairway To Heaven which was misunderstood to say: And there's a wino down the road, I should have stolen Oreo's. real lyric:And as we wind on down the road,Our shadows taller than our souls.

Kid you not. I really was shocked and asked my sister who was driving me to school "Wow how can they play that on the radio!?" She says "What wrong with it?" "He's singing about his dick!" She nearly crashed the car and peed her pants. We were both high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
