There's a metallica song (ick) where he says "and baked apple piiiie". Don't even remember what the real lyric are anymore cause that's all I hear.
"Rubber ducks suck" (actually "live and undrugged", song by the Supertones)
They ones you have are funny!
For a long time, I thought the lyric was "Secret Asian man" not "Secret Agent Man."
on rock the casbah, I'm sort of amused by the idea that they're saying "the sheep don't like it" instead of the shareef.
So funny I laughed out loud too! I have a few funny ones but the songs are kind of random (and the lyrics (or my interpretation of them) are a little PG-13-ish too - sorry in advance).
blow, blow silly old men
actual lyrics "Blow, blow Seminole wind" by some random country music singer
that rap s*@t's my meal chicken
actual lyrics "that rap s*@t's my meal ticket" from 'Thank God it's Friday' by, uh, Ice Cube?
teacher leave my panties on
actual lyric "with my t-shirt and panties on" by somebody who apparently likes to hang out half dressed?
oh and one more that my mom told me from when she was little (to make up for the above ones)
he tells the eggs to say 'O'
actual lyric "in Excelsis Deo" from 'Angels We Have Heard on High', some hymn we used to sing in church
hahahaha, I'm dying!
Hee! Love these. I was SO sure it was one-winged dove!
My contribution: that really cheesy late 80s song (which I love), "When I Think about You, I Touch Myself" (can't at all remember who it's by - the Divinyls? are they even a group?). Anyway, there's a line that goes, "You're the one...that makes me come running," and I was absolutely sure it was "You're the one...that makes me come money," which TOTALLY cracked up the guys I knew in college.
I thought of another - a friend always thought that Sophie B Hawkins song "Damn, I wish I was your Lover" said "Dance, I wish I was your Mother". hahahahahaha!
ok, husband informs me metallica lyric is supposed to be "and things that will bite." I still hear apple pie.
Betty: So glad you dropped by!!! I missed you!!!!!!
