| I don't have any at the moment but I wanted to direct you to a book that you might find amusing. There is a book out(for quite some time actually) called "Scuze Me While I Kiss this Guy " and it has a picture of Jimmy Hendricks puckering up to this rather frightened looking indivisual. It is basicly a book of misheard lyrics and is hilarious. You can find it at any bookstore in the Humour section |

The site seems a bit contrived to me. -------------

Mine is Toto's 'Africa': I heard as ''nothing that a hundred men on mars could ever do'' is actually ''nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do''

| Mine (and the favorite of my family) is It Bites' She gave me a kiss like Judas, which we (used) to vigorously sing along to with, She gave me a fish like tuna - which reminds me of the Man LP cover using a frontispiece of the Mad cartoon magazine : You can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish - but Alfred E Newman in the picture begs to differ. |

| I'm reminded, with Warner Jazz reissuing compilations of music from their archives, and the latest, Strange Brew, contains a couple by the grand diva of jazz, Ella Fitzgerald. She covers I Heard It Through The Grapevine - and sounds like her music! That track came off a late 60's album, when the record company were trying to revitalise Fitzgerald's career by having her cover recent hits. I bought her single at the time, singing Cream's Sunshine Of Your Love (it works after a fashion) - however, she singing the errors in the lyrics printed in the published sheet music. Instead of I'll be with you until the seas run dry, she sings I'll be with you until my seeds run dry -- which gives a peculiar gynacological spin to the tune from a grand of lady music, approaching 70 at the time. |

The older generation can be a wonderful source for mis-heard lyrics; I was visiting a girlfriend's grandmother, back in 1996, when the new single by the Verve came on the radio. The old lady liked to sing along, and she'd heard the song a couple of times and liked the tune, so warbled "...and the trucks don't work...". We didn't have the heart to correct her to "drugs..." |

My wife used to think Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Pride and Joy" contained the line "She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little leatherboy". Why do you think I married her?
