After being away on travel for several weeks, I thought I would hastily throw together another installment of I Fucking Hate.
Someone suggested a couple weeks ago that I focus on music topics again. So tonight, I thought we might talk about songs with garbled, misheard, or just horrible lyrics.
Have you ever heard a song and it left you scratching your head thinking: What the hell did he/she just say? I am not talking about Beck and Nirvana...even when you know all the lyrics, they still don't make much sense!
Have you listened to the Live song "All Over You" and heard the line as "Our love is like Walter" and thought, "Who the heck is Walter?"
What about Johnny Rivers' "Secret Asian Man" song? Ever hear that one?
Then one of my favorites is a friend from Long Island who heard the line in the Hoosier classic "Jack and Diane" as "Suck it on, Chilidog. The outside tastes free."
Check out the Archive of Misheard Lyrics to see if your favorite misheard lyric has been documented.
And share your own favorites below...or just talk about songs that drive you crazy these days.
Just for the record, the real lines of the songs I mentioned above are:
Live: "Our love is like water..."
Johnny Rivers: "Secret Agent Man"
John Mellencamp: "Sucking on a chilidog, outside the Tastee Freeze."
