My children have corrupted ‘Secret Agent Man’ into ‘She’s an Asian Man’ which completely cracks me up now when I hear that song. ---

> [@limegreen](#): > > WHAT:eek::smack: Those aren’t the real words? I just googled it, and I’ve been singing it wrong all these years!! Me too!!! My contribution: _Hiding in my room Safe within my womb I fuck no one and no one fucks with me_ This is a little different from writing actual alternate lyrics, which I’ve done for a number of songs; some of them are even printable. Here’s one: _I want a new god One that treats me real well One that won’t make me feel all guilty Or send me to hell I want a new god One that isn’t too weird One that doesn’t have eighteen arms Or a long white beard One that won’t make commandments Telling me what to do One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with youuuu…_ ---

There’s a bunch where I’ll change the subject or object to the more personally appropriate gender. I modified the lyrics of Indigo Girl’s Rick n Roll Heavens Gate to be about my Dad’s passing. > [@Electric\_Warrior](#): > > Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More. It’s “one foot in sea one on shore” but I always sing “one verdant sea, one on shore”. ---
