Hah - just looking at that misheard lyrics site - this one made me chuckle :

Misheard Lyrics:
I just want some extra tongue in your kiss

Original Lyrics:
I just want your extra time and your kiss

yeah, that whole "I am the chunky" thing really put a smile on my face.
I haven't heard anything quite that funny since someone's made-up "Let's Pretend We're Married" lyrics.
That made all of us 4 days

It's I'm the junky

Rightly said:

I knew that, haha. Just saying that really made me

Guys, remember those made-up "Let's Pretend We're Married" lyrics and they were about salad and vegetables and stuff.

Oo, we chew chew our food, yeah

I never understood this part from Tamborine:

I don't care 4 1 night stands
With trolley cars
That juggle 17


ANYONE?

did u really used to sing it that way ?

CJanssen said:

Well, he doesnt want skanky girls with 17 other boyfriends. I dont know why he says trolley cars, though. He uses a similar vehicle anology in "When u were mine." when he says "U were just like a train, u let all my friends come over and meet..." and of course there is "Little red corvette" What is that about calling loose girls vehicles? Is that some twin cities, 70's slang I dont know?

trolly cars run around with a lot of people

mplsmike said:

Ooooh, that makes sense...

mplsmike said:

it wasn't me, honestly. I'm not THAT clever, haha

Somebody else on the boards made that one up and everyone had a good laugh about it. There was practically a whole thread about it a few months ago.

Oh.i see.. that was a funny one thoe

ToraToraDreams said:

now it all fits 2gether

DreamyPopRoyalty said:

it was me

i didnt think anybody would remember that

InsatiableCream said:

Really..not that makes it even more funny

Ah ha! So u revealed urself.

In the beginning, I'd probably be the type of person who can't stand it when people make fun of Prince's music... but since we all know him pretty well, we have that priviledge and I get a real kick out of it sometimes.

If u remember those lyrics, go ahead and post 'em. Then they'll know what I've been talking about it.

Oh, okay! Never heard of this movie series, but thanks for clearing that up for me.

After reading these follow-up posts, it occurs to me that when Prince is deliberately being goofy ("lay your pretty body against a parking meter...strip your dress down like I was stripping a Peter Paul's Almond Joy...") then anything goes, and that's when I enjoy his music the most.

But when he takes the song seriously or without a sense of irony, then it damn near ruins it. The "Wall of Berlin" phrase is one example. Also, I just can't stand the line "Everybody keeps tryin' 2 break my heart...Everybody except 4 me" from EMANCIPATION's "Slave." What should have been an important song is stunted by that inspipid (and self-pitying) lyric. He's the only one who isn't breaking his own heart???? What the hell...?
