:smack: And now I found out.
Who’s this broad Shannon, and if she’s so damn majestic, why does she let you call her a broad? 
They’re not!? :eek: Holy shit!
Ten fingers in leather
Sparks flying in the middle of the night
It all comes together
When they turn out the lights…
It was years before I found out it’s Head bangers in leather. :smack:
Wow! It’s apparently “light” the corners of my mind.
My mind was just lighted.
In honor of my dear departed mom’s birthday today, one of hers:
Tom Petty’s “good love is hard to find” with the drawn-/drawled-out “good” became “silly willy love is hard to find”.
She also referred to Dr. John as “The Night Crawler”.
I love you, Mom!
Either way, though, isn’t there a syllable missing? In your OP you stated what you’d thought was being sung: ba dah dah dah dah–five syllables. Which is what the song seems to have. (And I always heard it that way, too, by the way. :o)
Maybe I’m showing my ignorance of Spanish pronunciation, but don’t both “bailar, bailar” and “para bailar” have only four syllables apiece?
Shannon is gone, I heard. 
CMC fnord!
:smack: :smack: :smack:
She’s ‘majestic’ because she’s broad. The broad, majestic Shannon.
Drifting out to sea, I fear.
Maybe she’ll find an island with a shady tree.
Love is not like a popsicle, even though if you get too much, you’ll get too high.
I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could polastulate? (Must be a British word… not that OZZY was known for his diction.)
Dammit! I always thought it was “robots”, and I liked it better that way!
Of course they aren’t! They’re like the colours of my mind. Duh!
checks lyrics
slinks away
:o
Me, riding around with Mom about 1969 with the radio on:
Mom: "So tell me, what exactly is a “chicken giraffe”?
Me: wut?
Mom: “She’s got a chicken giraffe, on the radio there”.
Me: “It’s She’s got a TICKET TO RIDE”.
Make that :smack::smack::smack::smack:
“Hot Stuff” has what seems to be a commonly misheard lyric, given the number of Internet hits I found. I heard it as “Wanna share my love with a woman lover, wanna bring a white man back home”. Perhaps disappointingly, it’s actually “warm-blooded lover” and “wild man”.
In “Groovin’” by the Rascals, I tried to figure out who Leslie was supposed to be. A nod to Leslie Gore? Nope, the lyric is “You and me, endlessly…”
Chicken giraffe? Now we’re getting a little far afield.
Also, just like Beetlejuice, be careful with the “G” word.
Me, it was always “what the hell is Elton John singing?”
Now that I know what Bernie Taupin’s lyrics actually are, I can’t say it helps much.
“You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad”
:dubious:
