I have Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit on my iphone and it came on while we were in the car the other day and Indy asked why the guy kept asking for potatoes. I was :confused::confused: and he said "Here we are feed us potatoes! Didn't you hear it?" The actual lyrics are "Here we are now entertain us." :lol:

 

That's why Weird Al's "Smells Like Nirvana" is so funny!

 

Here are the lyrics:

 

What is this song all about?

Can't figure any lyrics out

How do the words to it go?

I wish you'd tell me, I don't know

Don't know, don't know, don't know, ooh no

Don't know, don't know, don't know...

 

Now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin'

And I don't know what I'm singin'

Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'

I still don't know what I'm singin'

We're so loud and incoherent

Boy, this oughta bug your parents

Yeah!

 

*belch*

 

It's unintelligible

I just can't get it through my skull

It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss

with all these marbles in my mouth

Don't know, don't know, don't know, ooh no

Don't know, don't know, don't know...

 

Well, we don't sound like Madonna

Here we are now, we're Nirvana

Sing distinctly? We don't wanna

Buy our album, we're Nirvana

A garage band from Seattle

Well it sure beats grazing cattle

Yeah!

 

moo..

 

baa...

 

And I forgot the next verse

Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse

The lyric sheet's so hard to find

What are the words, oh nevermind

Don't know, don't know, don't know, ooh no

Don't know, don't know, don't know...

 

Well, I'm yellin' and we're playin'

But I don't know what I'm sayin'

What's the message I'm conveyin'?

Can you tell me what I'm sayin'?

So have you got some idea?

Didn't think so

Well, I'll see ya

This Little Light of Mine

 

"Hide it under a bush? Hell no! I'm gonna let it shine!" ("Hide it under a bushel, no!")

 

This had me laughing until I cried.

 

What about:

Slow Motion Walter (that fire engine guy)?

But that is basically what it says!

 

I had a bunch I heard wrong as a kid, but I can't think of any particularly interesting examples right now. But a few months ago, DH and I were driving somewhere, and this kind of catchy song came on the radio, except the refrain sounded like "balls in this", which was just so incredibly crude (and, for that matter, nonsensical) that I couldn't believe it.

 

Then finally I figured out that they were saying "ballroom bliss".

 

Then I got home and googled it, and found that it was actually Ballroom Blitz.

Okay, so I have to add one that went the other way. How about "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly? That song was originally called "In the Garden of Eden" until the lead singer became too drunk to enunciate. :lol:

LOL My step dad gave me that cassette when I was like 3 years old. :001_huh: It was the first cassette I owned. lol
