The Patient Ferris Wheel by Gaslight Anthem: “Maybe I should call me an ambulance” I sing as “Maybe I should call me an _ **amber lamps** _” as a homage to [Amber Lamps](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/amber-lamps) > [@Wheelz](#): > > _Hey now, you’re a rock star > Get the show on, get_\* laid\*\*\* I always sing it like that. > [@WhyNot](#): > > I don’t care what anyone says, it’s “wrapped up like a douche.” Agreed. ---

I don’t sing it like that myself, but I _do_ sing, thanks to someone on this MB, “And The Little Hurdy Gurdy gave my Anus Curly Wurly”. ---

I have a Rush one too: “I stood on top of the mountain/ Angina sang to me” (Tai Shan) ---

Air Supply: “I’m all out of drugs, I’m so lost without them.” In fact, I substitute “drugs” for “love” in pretty much every song. “There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done” … “All you need is drugs…” ---

In Faith Hill’s “Breathe,” replace every instance of the word “breathe” with “pee” for a much more interesting song. ---

Anyway, I laways heard Golden Earring’s “Radar Love” as “Red Hot Love”, and still “hear” it that way, even though I know the “truth”. (“Truth” in quotes, because it HAS to be “Red Hot Love”. “Radar Love” is so dumb! Unless English isn’t your first language, then you have an excuse. Oh? Oh, I see. Okay, then. My bad.) ---

[Eiffel 65 - Blue](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc&feature=related) My old roommate’s co-worker swore they were singing “I’m blue I’m in need of a guy”. So that’s how I sing it. ---

Oh dear, so many. Willie Nelson “_Angels flying hippos to the ground…_” Pink Floyd “_All in all, it’s just another kick in the balls._” Golden Earring (and I have no idea what the lyrics really are) “_Found I’m slippin’ into the Twilight Zone Babies tied me up, feels like I’m home._” And (blasphemy warning) “_We three be Kings of Orient Because you’re so cute we bought you a tent, a field, a fountain, a Moor and a mountain all in the hopes you’ll pay our rent_” Big blasphemy warning: “_O come let us ignore him O come let us deplore him O come let us abhor him…_” ---

(To Meat Loaf’s “You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth”) "I took my dick right out of your mom, I thought she’d have another kid like you. To a friend that I always exchange mom jokes with. I know its juvenile, but my sense of humor is perpetually twelve. ---

To a friend that I always exchange mom jokes with. I know its juvenile, but my sense of humor is perpetually twelve. That whole song gets pretty weird just swapping “the words” for “your/my dick.” Thanks for that…:rolleyes: ---

I also genuinely thought the lyrics to Brewer and Shipley’s “One Toke Over the Line” were, " I met all the girls and loved myself a few, when the price was right." It really says “when to my surprise.” ---
