The teenybopper band 'Dream' singing:

"It's making me crazy, making me a wreck!"

always sounded like:

"It's making me crazy, making me erect!"

and fugazi, latin roots: "it's time to be jamaican, it's time to be jamaican".

(it's time to meet your makers)

I had never heard the song "Bourbon Beard" when SKWM played it live a couple of years ago. For some very stupid reason, I thought the chorus was "beer...Beer....BEER!" I thought this was so crazy-goofy as to make it so awesome. I no longer think that this would have been so awesome, but I still sing it like that.

My girlfriend thought that the chorus to "Repeater" by Fugazi sounded like they were saying "Volpina," the name of the village cum-slut in Fellini's Amarcord. It stays "Volpina."

Rupert Holmes- Pina Colada song.

"Do You like pina colada and getting caught in the rain?" or....

"Do You Like Eric Estrada and Long LInes of Cocaine?"

The other day, I remembered a couple of Ewok-themed parodies:

"O-O-Child" by the Five Stairsteps:

Oooooop-chaaaa
Forest moon of Endor


Beck's "Loser"

Foooooorest moon of Endoooooor
I'm an Ewok, baby...so why don't you hug me

I always sing the chorus of "Queen Bitch" as "shibbety-bloppity-blah" rather than whatever Bowie slapped on there, it's much more fun.

my friend used to irritate me with that one all the time


Thats a good one. And, this is my favorite Pixies song.

Some comedy/parody artist did "Only Wanna Be With You" (Hootie & Da Blowfish) as "I only got a three inch tool".

Theres this oldies/motown song. I don't know the artist. Theres a bridge that ends "I know I've got to find/some kind of peace of mind/I've been searching everywhere/just to find someone to care." I always change the last two lines to "I've been searching everywhere/just to find some underwear". Childish, I know. Its still funny.

Because of the Misheard Lyrics thread, I will always sing:
"Bah Bah Bah Bah, Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah... I want a piece of bacon." (I wanna be sedated)
and
"Bingo Jed had a light on" (Big 'Ol Jet Airliner)
