I thought this was INXS.

I heard this old tune by the Beatles the other day, and–don’t laugh–I swear to God it sounded like Paul was singing
I am the eggman,
I am the eggman,
I am the walrus,
Goob goob a joob!
Anyone know the real lyrics?
The only change is the last line, which is “Koo-Koo-Ka-Choo” >
Actually, it’s:
I am the Eggman
They are the Eggmen
I am the Walrus
Goo Goo G’joob
And it’s John singing, not Paul.
And it’s Suicide Blonde. Dyed by her own hands. Get it? Heh. Heh.
Every single speed metal band out there seems to have to have lyrics that nobody can understand. Take bands like Korn and Pantera, all they do is scream on the mic and make weird noises.

This is a dream of mine. It’s number one on my priorities list once my friend Judd takes over the world and I don’t have to work anymore. Does your friend give lessons?

There’s a Rob Zombie (or maybe White Zombie) song that goes “More human than human” (or something close to that) and until last month, I swore the words were “Paul Newman, yeah, he’s the man”
The lyrics from “Whiskey in the Jar”, which are apparently taken (or borrowed) from a traditional Irish song and were first set to rock music by Thin Lizzy:
As I was going over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said “Stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya”
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she’d love me, no, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly’s chamber
Taking my money with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o
Now some men like the fishing and some men like the fowling
And some men like to hear, to hear the cannon ball roaring
Me, I like sleeping specially in my Molly’s chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o
A brilliant song extolling many important Irish traditional values!
Some mornings, it’s just not worth chewing through the leather straps.

Cool site, although it looks like they moved some of their content (probably the best of it) exclusively into a book for sale.
Besides a lot of the ones already mentioned, I also use to mishear the chorus for “Jet City Woman” (Tesla, I think). I always thought he was singing “You should have warned me”.

When my son was a youngster, he used to sing “Funga Lungest Time” (For the longest time -Billy Joel).
I used to sing “Take the back ride, Zak” (Paperback Writer - Beatles?)
On a side note, I was an adult before I realized “Intensive Purposes” was really “Intents and Purposes” and that you don’t write “incursive”, you write in “cursive”. Finally, my wife used to think that t.v. shows were “proctued by” instead of “Brought to you by”
