@almarg I do not believe it was tongue in cheek. I always heard it as kiss the sky, but I had an excellent phono front end, and system, as I indicated. And not to mention, I, too, was kissing the sky back then. I know about the mondegreen theory. Enjoy ! MrD.
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in I watched myself crawling out as I was a-crawling in I got up so tight I couldn't unwind I saw so much I broke my mind I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
mrdecibel, it was completely tongue-in-cheek. I always heard it as "kiss the sky" but when someone told me they heard it as "kiss this guy" I noticed that they are very very close. Although I was never a sky kisser....I don't think gin counts...once you hear "kiss this guy" it kind of sticks.
My wife ruined Jack Daniels for me when she pointed out that it has a distinct smell of banana. I'd never noticed it before but now I can't get past it. To get her back I now only drink Blanton's. ;-)
Likewise with Bad Moon Rising. Fogerty is obviously saying "There's a bad moon on the rise" but some radio DJ heard it differently and I always thought that was funny.
@n80, I do see your post as tongue in cheek now. My apologies...….having the best stereo between myself and all of my buddies at the time, I needed to decipher the proper wording of songs ( as well as your 2nd example ). I need to loosen up a bit. Enjoy ! MrD.
