Two from back in college. Back in the days of AM radio and inexpensive record players, it was never easy to decipher lyrics of songs from listening to the records. A friend of mine told me that he thought the first words to "Can't Help Myself" by the Four Tops were "Sugar fried honey crunch" instead of "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch", but the funniest one he told me was the beginning of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love", where somehow he thought Grace Slick's "When the truth is found to be lies" was "When the turkey's found to be live"! Now that would certainly change the meaning of that song...
Twisted Lyrics :
This from the time when my daughter was barely three and both of us were listening to Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs Robinson" on the home stereo in the living room. The reason for listening to this particular track was because I had it in the car and somehow I thought it always amused her. I got up and went to fetch something to drink and on my return as I entered the room with her back to me I overheard her singing along. I could not help laughing when I realised what she was singing, "and here's to you Mrs Rabbitson......"
I guess it was due to the fact that she always enjoyed watching Bugs Bunny and that could have influenced her to sing those twisted lyrics.
Do you have a story to share about twisted lyrics?
