Songs and the ruination of them (1 Viewer)

[chickenham]

Neil Young: 'Helpless'.
The line: 'Big birds flying across the sky, throwing shadows on our eyes'

Now think Big Bird from Sesame Street
Presto! Instant ruination. (not that I liked the song that much but I've gotten some serious deadners for sharing that one!!!)

This could also be a nice time to share some misheard lyrics
Like 'Sewing machines of love' by Tears for Fears.

when i realised 'victoria' was about england / the queen and not some bird

 

[chickenham]

'Ring of fire' = rectal discomfort

 

[Donkey OJ]

A friend of mine used to think that the chorus of "Bad Moon Rising" ended with "there's a bathroom on the right". The same friend was also convinced that Duran Duran's "The Reflex" was actually titled "The Briefcase".

I noticed at ATP that The Zombies were going to great lengths to enunciate the "the way she acts and the colour of her hair" lyric in "She's Not There". I wondered if this was because of the (supposedly) famous mishearing of the line as "the way she accents the colour of her hair".

the fact that it's 'I've got a silver machine' as opposed to 'I've got a sewing machine'.
Also, old thought the hot hot heat song bandages was called sandwiches.

The Zombies played ATP?!! I'd like to have seen that- but they must be a hundred years old by now?

 

[krystal]

No, no you wouldn't have liked to have seen it.

oh dear, not good then? shame

 

[krystal]

it was just pub rock. But not good pub rock. If such a thing exists. Put it this way, they were no Cheap Trick.

listening to ANY shellac song and trying to imagine albini squaring up to anyone taller than a foot.

 

[snakybus]

Also in "Helpless", when he's singing about a blue moon, think of someone mooning at someone else and the moonee painting the mooner's arse blue.

SO disappointed about Victoria. I loved that song up until one minute ago.

Hey how about this. Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder isn't about Duke Ellington. It's about Marmaduke the dog!

 

[RSJ]

I ruined "isn't it time we got a look at you the way you really are" for the brother by accenting the bassline to sound like... eh... well, you'd have to hear it. Made it sound like a kids theme tune.

 

[La La]

when i was younger i thought that song by Air Supply said 'penis adaptor forever'

 

[chickenham]

My dad used to undermine the high seriousness of the Incredible Hulk by insisting on referring to it as the Inhudible Crelk. Still makes me laugh.

 

[oh shit]

listening to ANY shellac song and trying to imagine albini squaring up to anyone taller than a foot.

but that's what makes them so cool. they're the soundtrack to a nerd's revenge fantasy. can't really imagine danzig or rollins singing 'watch song' and it being cool. it would be most un-cool.

i have a ruiner on the tip of my brain... i'll use this to procrastinate from study. thanks!
