> [@Patch](#): > > Master of Puppets by Metallica. I keep singing it Master of Muppets. I had a friend who used to sing it as “Pastor of Muppets”. He had a whole performance that he’d do for the song. He’d play air guitar along with the solos, make goofy faces, and replace random lines with his own. The only one I remember specifically is when the “…laughing at my cries!” line came up, he’d shout out “BURGER, SHAKE, AND FRIES!”. Err… it was funny at the time. ---

**Redbone** ’s _Come And Get Your Love_ ends with the repeated line: Come and get your love, come and get your love, come and get your love now. to which I sing: Gotta take a leak, gotta take a leak, gotta take a leak now. It fits perfectly. 😃 ---

I think this one may be far from widespread but- In the **Rush** song **Freewill** , instead of “path that’s clear” I always sing (and hear): \*♫ I will choose a \*\*bathysphere \*_♫_ I know it makes absolutely no sense, but that’s what my brain thought it heard way back when and it stuck! ---

> [@Dendarii\_Dame](#): > > Far more obscurely, there’s a novelty Christmas song sung in a Swedish accent called, “Oh, I Yust Go Nuts at Christmas”. Anyone remember a Hanna-Barbera cartoon called _Journey to the Center of the Earth_? The villain was Swedish, and according to the narrator, had a “brute-like servant, Torg.” So whenever we hear the song, my husband and I sing, > “Oh, I yust go nuts at Christmas/With my brute-like servant, Torg…” Sorry, I have to fix this and I missed the edit window. It should be, “Oh, I yust go nuts at the center of the earth/With my brute-like servant, Torg…” ---
