“Definitely LSD.”:
Anyway…I’ll add to this thread “I think we are stoned now…there doesn’t seem to be anyone around.”
On a similar thread I mentioned that I change “the rain” to “Lorraine”.
Adele: I set fire to Lorraine
CCR: I want to know, have you ever seen Lorraine.
Also, sometimes changing “direction” to “erection” gives a different meaning.
Bread on Baby I’m a Want You: Your lovin’ and affection, givin’ me erection
I just remembered another one I sing to myself all the time, to a well-known song by The Who:
Teenage waste can
It’s only teenage waste can
Whenever I hear Hotblooded by Foreigner, I have to sing it my way:
Yeah I’m dimwitted, check it and see!
Got an IQ of 73
Come on baby, I can’t chew gum and walk
Cuz I’m dimwitted, Dimwitted!
I have “teenage whistling, it’s only teenage whistling” for this one.
It’s actually sung both ways in the stage musical. Annie sings “always a day away” the first time she sings the line, after finding Sandy, because she is alone and still searching for some kind of family. Later in the story as her life is turning around with Warbucks’ help and her sunny optimism grows (specifically in the scene with FDR’s Cabinet), it’s changed to “only a day away.” So you’re actually right either way!

Almost Paradise is always “almost parrot eyes”
My Girl Wants to Party All the Time - “my girl’s always farting all the time”
“Blood” is a great replacement for “love” too:
Lennon/McCartney’s:
I don’t care too much for money
Money can’t buy me love
Can’t buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can’t buy me love, no, no, no, no
Mine:
I don’t care too much for money
Money can’t buy me blood
Can’t buy me blood, everybody tells me so
Can’t buy me blood, no, no, no, no
According to a Playboy interview with Billy Joel, Honesty started out as “Sodomy” when he was writing the album. His drummer, Liberty DeVito, would create dirty lyrics as a way of motivating Joel to write real ones.
There’s a reference to this in this article that appeared on the Cracked website.
She’s a “four-level woman” to me.
My anus is a-hurtin’ I’m addicted to love.
And for me, Huey Lewis always wants something different in each line.
I wanna new truck
I wanna new duck
I wanna new job
Why does a snippet from the Peter Potamus cartoon’s theme song pop into my mind frequently? It’s weird. Anyway…
Peter Potamus has a charm
He can never conceal
I have to think it ('cause I don’t actually sing it):
Peter Potamus has a farm
With blood that never congeals
Thank you! Makes sense in the context of her life’s story.
Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long.

Your Hershey highway
I want to ride it all night long.
When the moon hits your eye
Like a big piece of pie, that’s amore!
'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy…
LOL - that’s a great one!
It’s My scrotum instead of My Sharona. Fortunately, I rarely hear that song anymore.
I sometimes catch myself singing along to “Dust in the Wind” with “dustin hoffman” (“all we are is Dustin Hoffman…”
Also “Help me, Rwanda (yeah), get her outta my heart”
Oh yeah, alright,
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American squirrel.
Try it.
Remember Hellen Reddy’s hit Delta Dawn?
Mine:
Delta Burke, when’s that diet going to work?
Could it be you’re eating Twinkies on the sly?
And did I hear you say that no matter how much you weigh
You’ve still got to have another piece of pie?
