Also, during the bridge, it sounds like someone says "stainless ashtray".

i've heard that song a million times over my entire life and it never hit me that they were saying "Barbara Ann" - i always just kind of interpreted it as "Bob RaAnne" like he was some Car Dealer with a goofy television commercial that played on local channels.

Shit, I thought it was an ode to a guy named Bob who worked on the Soviet space shuttle.

I enjoy imagining terrible music ad licensing deals that (I hope) will never exist:

Got some Levi's Jeans need something to do/Got some Levi's Jeans find something to do/ Got some Levi's Jeans....Set me on Fiyah!! (Big Black for Levi Strauss &Co.)

Burrito Supreme, Burrito Supreme, Burrito Supreme (John Coltrane for Taco Bell)

Depeche Mode missed a golden opportunity with Viagra or Cialis to record "I Just Can't Get It Up."

Burma missed a golden opportunity to rep for sporting goods. I can imagine a commercial where they’re rattling off Memorial Day Weekend specials, and then it ends with Clint singing “My Academy!”

Misfits - 20 Eyes

"Twenty guys in my bed!"

Here's a neat game: substitute the word "Lou" for "you" in popular songs, then think about Lou Reed as you sing them.

I Got Lou (I Feel Good)
Can't Take My Eyes Off Of Lou
How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By Lou)
Lou Won't See Me
I Want Lou Back
Lou Can't Do That
When Will I See Lou Again
We Will Rock Lou

I have a friend named Stu that this game works with as well.
Alternately, substitute the word "drugs" for "love" (All You Need Is Drugs!). Hours of fun, especially on road trips.

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
To that angel in a centerfold
ANGEL IN A CENTERFOLD

Blaw blaw b-blaw blaw blaw
Blaw blaw blaw
B-b-blaw blaw blaw

A friend of mine says he thought it was “Angel lives in Singapore” when he was a kid.

When I was a kid, my mom told me a centerfold was a kind of undergarment, like a slip. I think this might have even been true, even if my mom knew damn well what the song meant.

My wife, on listening to State of Shock by the Ex:

I'm moving towards a state of shock
Repeats again of what's already been said
The same mistakes keep hitting us like boobies and wangs
