No way! See i'm not the only one. Don't you think it sounds like that?

Here's one, i have NEVER been able to figure out:

So wide can't get around it
So low you can't get under it
(So low you can't get under it)
So high you can't get over it
(So high you can't get over it)
Da-yee do do do do do do
This is a chance
This is a chance
Dance your way
Out of your constrictions
(?????)

What is that word? Sounds like "delshugup" or something? WTF is he saying?

Let's Pretend We're Married:

"I'm in love with guys it's the only way, cuz you & I know we gotta die someday"

"Jaime Starr's a queef!"

no, back then I thought everything Prince said had to be nasty!

On this very subject, there's a funny Cingular SYNC phone ad running that touts the ability to download music.
The 2 characters dl Rock The Casbah by The Clash and then proceed to mangle the lyrics.

Dude 1: "The (something) had some cataracts.

"The sheep don't like it."


Dude 2: "Lock the cashbox."
Dude 1 (decides it's really): "Stop the cat box."


They happily agree and go on their merry way.

I'm sensing a pattern within my own mind, but I thought they said "Fuck the Casbah" way back when (I was only 10 at the time)

Seems as if there was a lot of FUCKING going on in your head.
Were you getting that much "sacktime" or was it all wishful thinking.

I believe that's exactly what he said.

NDRU said:

same here!! I actually used to go around singing it that way

theAudience said:

nah, I didn't do anything or even know what anything meant back then I just learned bad words at a young age--my dad's main contribution to my education.

In fact, I didn't know what a casbah was, either I remember my sister asked what it was, and my brother told her it was like a bar. She said "why don't they just sing Rock the ba-ar Rock the ba-ar?"

...

The 80's Band The GoGo's Jane Weidlin and Terry Hall mentioned in an interview that they played one concert overseas, where people kept asking them to play "Alex The Seal" :,

'We were like, "What?!?"

...they kept shouting, "Play 'Alex the Seal'!!!"'

It took them a minute to realize the crowd was referring to the Gogo's 1982 hit "Our Lips Are Sealed".....

I was convinced that Jimi was a freewheelin' bisexual when I heard him sing, "Scuse me while I kiss this guy!"

My take is he only started goofing around with that lyric live once he found out that's what people thought he was singing on the original recording.

Btw, whaaazzzzup?

I had no idea he ever sang it that way on purpose live; I just remember mishearing the original recording.

Life is beautiful over here, my friend!

theAudience said:

The Beatles did that, too. I saw a performance of I Wanna Hold Your Hand where John was definitely singing "I get high, I get high."

the song Caroline by Outkast
Do they really sing, "Roses really smell like poo"?

Then there's the famous hot chocolate with: wear your bra you sexy thing!

A whole website dedicated to misheard lyrics.


THat whole Rock The Casbah commercial is funny to me and a friend of mine b/c 10 years ago we had a discussion on those lyrics. She swore it was "Rock The Task Force". So we started using that as saying someone was cool. "wow. She rocks the task force.

Jay-Z's line in Mariah's Heartbreaker...."Blow my day" sounds like "Blow my dick."

Up until yesterday , when I listened to Twisting The Night Away by Sam Cooke I thought I heard...

He's dancin' with the chicken slacks

Instead of - He's dancin' with the chick in slacks

...I thought it was a certain style of pants.
