1bassoon Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 My dad always sings: "I eat a one ton tomato!" (I think it's Guantanamera? It makes me laugh, though!) DD16 used to sing: Three we kings of Orient are Merry gifts, we travel so far. And dc always sing: God rest you merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay. . . . For Jesus Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray, Oh our God needs a Tupperware drawer, Tupperware drawer!

flyingmommy Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Not a song lyric, but when Star Wars (the Phantom Menace) came out, my son was about ten or eleven. In the movie, Kwi Gon Jin (sp?) says to Obi Wan Kenobi "Don't center on your anxieties, Obi Wan." My son was quoting the movie one day and say "Down syndrome your anxieties, Obi Wan." We fell out. He really thought that was the line. Never mind that it didn't make any sense. One of my favorite song lyric misquotes: "Big old jet with a light on..."

(really TAKE HEART, my friend--much less interesting.) WAY too many more to list. Part of the problem is I can't remember the words to ANY songs, so I just make up something to fill in. Dc have come to... enjoy... this? :lol: Well, while I do have the "give me the beat, boys, & free my soul" one right, there is a song by some band (can't remember the band's name,ETA it's called "Walk this Way" by Aerosmith). To give me some credit, I heard this song on the radio way before digital recording and lived far from all the stations, so reception wasn't stellar. The real lyrics go, Walk this way, Walk this way, But for years I really and truly thought it was Born to splay Born to splay I don't know if this is enough for anyone to recognize this song, but it probably came out in the 1970s. There are many many songs I sing the wrong words to. Sometimes dd says I have the tune wrong, but most of the time in those situations I like my version better, so I like to think I've unconsciously improved on the original melody ;). The most irksome one, but done on purpose, is when my ds sings, Felix, oh-oh-oh, Felix" for "Feelings, oh-oh-oh, Feelings." He also inserts Felix for the name Billy in "Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom to Aly Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Anything by the Rolling Stones. When I first met my xh, in Paris, he spoke no English, but loved the Stones. He wanted me to translate them for him, and we sat up one night trying. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!!!!! I felt like that scene in Jumping Jack Flash (must see, if you haven't) where Whoopi Goldberg is trying to figure out the words to the title song, and yells "Speak English to me, Mick!". I don't know what language the Stones sing in, but I REALLY don't think it is English! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInTheBlue Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 From the 80s, I think the song is named Africa and I thought the line was "Ain't nothing that a hundred men on Mars would ever do". I don't know what the actual words are but something about "a hundred men or more would ever do". Also from various family members: From Breathless: it's "leaving me breath mints" instead of "leaving me breathless". Also from a smaller family member is his interpretation of a beautiful ballad More Than Words. He thought it seemed to make more sense that the song said "More than worms, what would you say if I took those worms away". For some reason I don't think taking worms away would mean as much as taking words away. In the 70s or late 80s there was the song Take It to the Limit. I felt we should all Take It to the Lemon for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed heartily all the way through it 2 or 3 times, which is rare for me.

Camy-7 boybarians 1 lady Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 ..and I had a few too many beverages, if you get my drift. As I sat at the bar with my best friend and brother, I was belting out, at the top of my lungs, Guns-n-Roses (sp?) "Welcome to the Jungle" in some sort of jibberish that was meant w/ all my heart to resemble lyrics. LOL! Though I was slurring and carrying on, I could see through my periferal (sp?) vision my brother and best friend cracking up and tilting back in their chairs. However...that didn't stop me! I continued on the embarrassing tyrade (sp? why are the spellings of so many words escaping me tonight?) until the last beat of the drum. Sigh. LOL.
