Ask Lemmy

Blinded by the light . To me it always just sounds like he is saying dressed up like a douche , I can't even remember what the actual lyrics are.

Don't tell your friends about the tour bus.

I left some brains down in Africa.

She was a fax machine she kept her modem clean.

Dirty deeds THUNDER CHIEF

I’m suddenly feeling revved up like a douche.

this is a classic

"I'm blue, da ba de da ba die..."

"I'm blue, I would beat off a guy..."

You'll hear that every time now, you're welcome.

Blinded by the light - Bruce Springsteen

I was almost 25, in the 1990s, singing along in my car to Elton John, confidently belting out ""Love, I feel it in my hands, I can tell by the things I would do with another man"" when I suddenly realized that it was unlikely a guy would have a hit song about what he'd do with a guy in the 60s or 70s. Even as a little kid I'd known Elton John was gay, and hadn't really been brought up to think that was weird (thank you, mom and dad and your theater friends) .

I looked up the lyrics and it's love lies bleeding in my hands, it kills me to think of you with another man and the name of the fucking song is love lies bleeding, I didn't know that either.

My wife thought it was

"All we are is ducks in the wind"

-dust in the wind

🎼 Blinded by the light / Wrapped up like a douche / A motor homer in the night 🎶

The actual lyrics are:

Blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

ZZ Top - Pearl Necklace. I always hear "she wanna pearl necklace" as "she wanna put on Netflix".

It's my little blue scoop, you don't know what I've done!

A more recent one I love is Selena Gomez - Good for You: "I'm on a farting carrot. I'm farting carrot."

(First 2 lines of song)

Maybe no one else will find this funny, but I do. My parents were Cuban immigrants to the USA. My uncle in particular was in his prime dating age when I was a little kid, so he would play the hits when I was around. Since he didn't know English yet, he would just guess the sounds the singers were making when he sung along. For that reason, I thought the chorus to a song was "spoon apurataaaa" and that songs didn't need to make sense. The singers could just make noises representing their feelings rather than use actual words. It wasnt until much later and a bunch of bullying in middle school that I learned almost all popular songs are based on words and "spoon apurataaaaa" was actually "smooth operator". Til this day, I still think of a spoon when I hear Smooth Operator by Sade.

Not really relevant video of a Smooth Operator

thereeeees the bathroom, on the right

ccr, bad moon rising

There's a bad moon on the rise

"Radio night, here I come"

instead of

"Ready or not, here I come"

The site kissthisguy.com used to be a great source for this, but unfortunately today it's mostly a place for lyrics which may also fit the song.

We've got some good ones in french.

For example there's a bridge in Sepultura's Rattamahattah that distinctly sounds like "c'est dans ta chambre, ça pue l'opium" (it's in your room, it stinks of opium").

Also, Metallica's Unforgiven, the first verse sounds like "nous faisons des oeufs, et couic couic ils se tournent" (we are cooking eggs, and squeak squeak they flip).

Take a walk, to the post office. Don't stop til you get enough.

My favourite mondegreen: 'Living like a lover with a red iPhone' from pour some sugar on me, released 20 years before Apple's first iPhone was released.

The real lyric is apparently 'radar phone', whatever that is.

The Wham song Careless Whisper, I thought it was "filthy feet and I got no river" for the longest time.
