'It's My Life' by Bon Jovi....

'It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever'

Somehow became

'It's my wife
That I caught you boning,
Now you're gonna get a kicking'

Man, those were the days.

brilliant

i cant get that out of my head now.

whats great is that when these songs come on in my office everyone will think that ive made them up.

"Love Shack" in irritating Fred Schneider voice.

My take on Dirty Deeds is just to repeat "dirty deeds" over and over, rather than say "done dirt cheap." It's not risque or anything, but it sounds dumb enough to keep me entertained.

dirty deeds dir-tee deeds
dirty deeds dir-tee deeds
dirty deeds dir-tee deeds
dirty deeds and dah-dir-ty deeds
dirty deeds and dah-dir-ty deeds

etc.

I knew a guy who sang DMB's "Satellite" the same way for the same reason: "Satellite, satellite, satellite, sat - el - lite, satellite...."

I just remembered another: The Foundations' "Build Me Up Buttercup": "I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone waiting for you." becomes "I'll be home, I'll play the xylophone baby for you."

Also, despite not being a big Weird Al fan, any song he parodied, I'm liable to sing the parody version instead, especially "I lost on Jeopardy, baby, ooo ooo ooo..."

This is like when you do something like, say, shower with swim trunks on, and you think you're the only one who does that, then you find somebody who also shower with trunks on. I do this with tons of songs, specifically Christmas carols, and more specifically "Sleigh Ride".

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let's go
Let's go, giddy-up
Giddy-up, let's go, let's go, giddy-up...


I also sing Led Zeppelin's "Misty Mountain Hop" with the lyrics as nothing but "really don't care, really don't care, really don't care, really don't care, really don't care...reeeeeaaaally doooooohooooon't caaaaaare!"


Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" as "I didn't fart, you liar" is always fun, too.

Back when TLC(?) had the song "Scrubs", I couldn't stop singing
I don't want no shrubs
A shrub is a plant that not a bush or tree

instead of
I don't want no scrubs
A scrub is a man can get no love from me

I thought it was hillarious.

No one else did. I am stupid.

One of my favorite AM hits ever is "Magic" by Pilot. I absolutely love this song, even moreso because Pilot were either Swiss or Swedes or from some other non-rock hinterland.

Anyway, the chorus says "Ho Ho Ho, it's magic, you know, never believe it's not so," which is pretty funny in and of itself. But when this song came out, circa '75, we used to sing: "Ho Ho Ho, it's my dick, you know, it never will fit in that hole." It actually sounds like he says "mah dick," but you probably have to be from the South to hear it that way.

In a similar vein, we used to sing this amended chorus to Dobie Gray's "Drift Away":

Give me the beat, boys, and fill my soul
I wanna get lost in your hairy hole
And drift away...

Try Springsteen's "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" to the tune of "Dead Devil in the Freezer." I guess it helps if you're ten years old and your Catholic parents have a chest freezer in the basement. Sweet dreams.

This one never quite worked for me, but it's charming nonetheless: Steve Miller's "Big Ol' Jet Airliner" somehow equals "We Don't Chat at a Lighthouse." Go figure.
