What's your favorite lyric from a song?

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.

n80, 
I just tried Blanton's for the first time several months ago...that's good stuff! I haven't liked Jack for a long time, too harsh, but I really like Jim Beam Black Label too.
Al,
I heard the "kiss this guy" thing years ago, and always took it as a joke, I never thought anyone actually took it to be the real lyric. I never heard that version of the Shocking Blue lyric...that's funny.
Here's one for you. A DJ in Philly in the late 80's was playing the Police song "Wrapped Around Your Finger", and he said it sounded like Sting was saying "I'll eat rats around your finger", and I swear, if you listen to it on a low resolution system, or ideally, on the radio, it really sounds like that's what he's saying.
geoffkait,
It's actually not bad. You should try it.

    

Another line from a song I needed to decipher for everyone at the time ( the only line in the song ) : One of These Days from P.F. Meddle. No one could believe Nick Mason was saying " I'm going to cut you into little pieces ". Enjoy ! MrD.
