Thread: "Ooops-I thought it said"...

There IS a parody of Bad Moon Rising that is called (There's A) Bathroom on the Right. Search WinMx under 'Dr. Demento', and I'll bet you can find it.

I thought 'I Shot the Sheriff' was 'Eye Shocker Sharon' DUH!!

LOL LT!
Black Betty is one of my dh's fave songs!
He hunted and hunted til he found it on disc!

There is a song by David Ball, country music singer, called I gotta thinkin problem. For the longest time if I sang along with it I would say I gotta drinkin problem. I swore that was what he was saying until I saw the lyrics somewhere. But hey, it fits a country music song!

When I first moved to TN 8 years ago, it was the first time I had really listened to country music. When Garth Brooks put out the song, "I'm Shameless", I thought he was singing "I'm shavin"!!! My DH thought it was a riot.

He has lived in TN since he was 3 and grew up listening to country. I'm from IL and the southern accent was hard to get used to. Now I sound like one of them!

Okay I've got three:

I used to hear Garth Brooks Shameless as

I'm shameless, I don't have a ball to gnaw
instead of I'm shameless, I don't have the power now

My sister used to sing a song from the 80's as
I'm going to harden my heart, swallow my tears as
I'm going to harden my heart, swallow my teeth

And a friend of mine thought that Def Leppards "Pour some sugar on me" was "Pour some booger bombay" and the Rollings Stones "Beast of Burden" was "Pizza Burning"

I guess that is 4 not 3

I thought of another one, my son heard Tom Petty's "Freefalling" when he was four and thought the lyrics were "and I'm three, three, four"

lol.

You can't forget about "Benny and the Jets" by Elton John. I never knew what the hell he was saying except benny and hte jets until about 2 years ago, lol. And even then I had to look it up! Here they are:

Benny And The Jets

Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets

Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets

Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie...

Not a Bowie fan at all...but always thought that was "Suffering City". Thanks...now I know!
