Misunderstood lyrics
#1
There's probably already a thread about this, but I just learned of a BIG misunderstood lyric on my part:

Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

For several decades now, I would've sworn that was 'spitting out pieces of his broken LUNG.'

I used to think the Madonna song La Isla Bonita went:-

I fell in love with some dago, instead of

I fell in love with San Pedro.

I used to think "How does that bitch get away with that lyric?"

This one isn't mine (thank god)... an older guy I worked with was positive that "I see a bad moon arisin'" was really "I see a baboon arisin'"

The funniest 'misunderstood lyrics' I have are when my son tries to sing stuff and gets the words all wrong. Cracks me the hell up. I doubt anyone else would be as amused though. Smiley_emoticons_slash

Never got any lyrics wrong before Neo?

Get the fuck out of the thread then.

I have, I can't recall what song it was off the top of my head though. One of Metallica's earlier pieces. But since I couldn't understand I went and looked it up, I didn't try to "fit" my own lyrics to the sound.

That's what the internet is for. Google is your friend.

Well, actually Google is a malicious tool owned by an evil corporation which is out to get you... but otherwise, it's your friend.
