On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled olives in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes of blue.
Hey, can we get that hair with extra cheese, too?
Take your pants down
And make it happen. . .
I like my version better.

Second-grader son sang, “Feelings are so filthy” and it wasn’t until I got the info about their new health unit that I understood that feelings can also be healthy.
Remember “The Hustle” from disco days? My husband shouted “Tuna hot dog!” in the appropriate places. He was so kewl on the dance floor.
And I’ve always heard, “Just call me angel of the morning; just cross my feet before you leave me. . .”
Amy Winehouse’s Rehab: “Mr. Half-a-way” (as in a halfway house).
Then I found out it was about Donny Hathaway, who happened to have been born exactly the same day I was born.
LOL… I never got the real meaning until I became a train buff.
Centerfold by J Geils Band:
I hope that when this bitch is gone,
I’ll see you when your clothes are on
White Flag by DIDO
I will go down with this ship
And I won’t put my ass up and surrender…
We Will Rock You by Queen
You got blood on your face
You big disgrace
Wavin’ your ** bladder** all over the place
One year sitting at a gas station in Wall, SD during Bike week I said to my darlin’, “Just listen to them Harleys, Kid. Sounds just like music.” And then I realized we had the radio on and Fleetwood Mac was just beginning “Tusk.”
A while back Rihanna had a big hit, which at first I only half-listened to. I thought it was another piece of pop-fluff, with her repeatedly telling us to “stir it up”. Turns out she was actually saying the song’s title, Disturbia, and the lyrics are a lot more menacing than usual for a pop hit.
Are you living in the East?
Strolling away the time?
Are you gathering up the yeast?
Do you have a diamond mine?
That’s soooo wrong. Everybody knows it’s
Bringing in the cheese
Stowing away the Tide
Are you eating all your peas?
Have you had enough of mine?
Nope - it’s “Just brush my teeth before you leave me…”
For the oldsters among us, the Fleetwoods did a song called “The Great Impostor.”
As a child I always thought they were singing “Poetry so sweet - as a rabbit’s feet.”
I recall recently I heard the song “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by bathroom whore…Ah I mean…singer George Michael.
I started singing it “You make the sun shine brighter than the darkest day.” Then I said to myself, “Well that don’t make sense.” So I looked it up. It’s actully, “You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day.” Which isn’t much better, but all those years I was singing it wrong.
Fun fact the opposite of Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go would be Sleep You Down After Me Stop-Stop… Don’t leave me hanging on going hop-hop…
I just discovered today that I’d been mishearing the lyrics from Steely Dan’s “Kid Charlemagne” for decades.
Did you realize
That you were italian in their eyes
is NOT how it goes!
It’s
Did you realize
That you were a champion in their eyes
:smack:
How 'bout that great Deep Purple song “Slow Motion Walter, Fire Engine guy” ?
“I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite” is a line from Duran Duran’s “New Moon on Monday.”
I just found that out today, having previously believed that “cold day” was “toe jam.”
Actually, I mishead the toe jam bit a line or two earlier than what I posted.
It’s hard to make out a lot of their lyrics.
