I have to say that this is definitely a case where I prefer the misheard version to the original!
I just thought I’d add two more of my cents and say that “Timber” has reached #1 on the Billboard charts!
OK, help. “Sunglasses at Night” – what are the real words?
And I turned to her and said

Oh no, you definitely don’t want a coelacanth all up in there.
Radiohead’s Bodysnatchers includes the line “pale imitation with the edges sawn off”. I prefer the way I first heard it: “pale imitation with the engines shot out”. The way he draws out the word “out/off” from 1:33 to 1:36 fits the image of a doomed bomber plane perfectly in my mind.
So, Ponch, *is *timber a euphemism for wood ;)?
Also, I feel like one of the idiots who inadvertently contributed to her eating disorder because I must admit to thinking she never looked better when I saw her on that show. Apologies and god speed Ms. Sebert.
Foo Fighters “All My Life”
Hey don’t let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down.
I always hear:
Hey don’t let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Hey kids let me down.
As a small child, I misunderstood the lyrics to the Green Acres theme song.
Times Square
It sounded to my ears as if she was saying ‘Down Scrown’. It didn’t make any sense even then, but I hadn’t heard of Times Square at that age.
You are my wife!
Goodbye, city life!
I heard the second line as Goodbye to your life!
