I've been singing Radiohead's "Let Down" in my car for over ten years, and I probably don't know 30% of the words.

Dylan wrote:My wife used to listen to "Dirty Deeds And A Thunder Eek" with some kids in high school.

I always sing it, "Dirty Deeds and a Thunder Queef" but I am a child.

When I was very young I though this Beatles song went:

One day you'll find that I have gun...

And now the time has come
And so my love I must go.
And though I lose a friend,
In the end you will know, oooh.
One day you'll find that I have gun.

I thought the singer was a hired killer of something, and he had to leave town because the law was after him. The real lyrics are rather mundane by comparison.

Gimme the Beach Boys and free my soul
wanna get lost in your rock and roll

"She wants us to stay" by Team Rock-It, heard as "She won't touch the snake"

you mistook a beatles song for an ac/dc song?

Sparks "Here In Heaven"

Given the enunciation, I really thought it was

"Hot here in heaven without you"

(and apparently I'm not the only one...)


But if the lyrics booklet is to be believed then it is simply:

"Up here in heaven without you"


I guess the lyrics already illustrate one switcheroo (Romeo does himself in while Juliet's all "PSYCH!"), but I do think "Hot here in heaven" would have made it a double/adding-insult-to-injury switcheroo... as in "Hey - I made it to Heaven - where you at? Gee, I wonder why is it hot here? Hey that looks like... SATAN! - oh no!"

eleanor rigby takes up the rights in a church where the wedding is mean

Excuse me while I kiss this guy.... Purple Haze

I used to hear that one too.

Also, the Pretenders song "Brass in Pocket" I used to hear as:

Got brass in pocket
Gonna fly though
I'm gonna use it
Intention

I'm feelin' mated
Gonna make you
Make you
Make you mo' tense

Got motion
Restrained emotion
I been divin'
Detoured leaning


No Visa
Seems so pleasin'
Gonna make you
Make you
Make you mo' tense

Gonna use my arms...

Gonna use my legs...

Gonna use my style...

Gonna use massages...

Gonna use my fingers...

Gonna use my, my, my... VAGINATION!
