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?

Wstritt,

Only if I knew I would not have started this thread and would have posted my message in the relevant thread instead. Thank you for the link. :)

Rsbeck: That's beautiful man. I think that's what Lennon really meant.

My favorite has got to be from the time I spent in Spain. At the time, the Rage Against the Machine song "Killing in the Name Of" was very popular and regularly played in the club scene. One of the refrains, over and over, is "and now you do what they told ya." All the Spaniards would scream along and, invariably, they were all screaming "que te chupa la polla." Over and over. (Honestly, it really does sound the same, especially in a loud club.) At the risk of spoiling the suspense for our non-Spanish-speaking friends, roughly, they were all screaming "suck a dick." Over and over....

For me it was Richard and Linda Thompson singing Wall of Death. I thought they were singing "I want to ride on your waterbed one more time." Somehow, that seemed more poignant to me!
