“ ...‘cause precious and few are the moments we toucans share...” Hey, what can I say? I was eleven and Froot Loops were an important part of my balanced breakfast.
Probably an apocryphal story, but Dylan said the same thing, which is why he thought it OK to turn the Beatles onto weed for the the first time.
I used to think Aqualung was "Five little girls with battered heads" and "Spitting out pieces of his broken lung" I do prefer how I used to hear it, it's lends itself to some bizarre abstract imagery in my head.
I knew that couldn't be the lyric, but that's exactly what it sounded like. Never could figure out what it was. Just Googled it - "Deep in my heart I'm a warrior." This reminds me of when Montgomery Ward branded their electronics department as "Electric Avenue"...about 7 years or so after the song was a hit. Long enough for them to look even more out of touch than they already did.
Misheard lyrics, Stones division. “Melody” off of the Black and Blue LP One of the most simply arranged numbers in their catalog with an up-front, seemingly easy to discern vocal, and yet for years, I thought these were the lines I heard Jagger singing. They made perfect sense. Maybe more sense than the actual ones. I’m guessing the “mustard for a ham” line is some sort of British slang, perhaps? Heard: “I’m lookin’ for her high and low like a rooster for a hen” Lyric: “ I’m lookin’ for her high and low like a mustard for a ham” Heard: “She took my trailer home, she took my Sunday booze” Lyric: “She took my trailer home, she took my Sunday boots”
And he “used to be a hard-beatin’ bosom woman,” according to what I heard him sing on “Philadelphia Freedom.”
I thought Jagger was singing "I'm drifting through the days at lighting speed" on "Rocks Off", which I thought was a really evocative line, but then it turned out to be "zipping", which, enh.
When I was a kid always thought that "Another Brick in the Wall " said " no Duckes of hazard in the class room" ...thought it made since that like a classroom the show had some craziness...live and learn.
When I was young, I always thought the Beatles-I saw her standing there-was "Well my heart when boom, when I crossed that room, and I held her hand in Hawaiiiiiii".
I really got a kick out of this thread. Anybody else remember the "tattoo detective" from Devo's "Whip It"?
Not mine, but someone called into a local talk show and said when she was little she thought that Billy Joel's "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" was about someone named "Brenda Renetti" lol
I checked the music video...but it cuts away just before he says the line. The concert video does sound more like abhor than warrior.
