okay, so squirrels 'Now is the winter of our discotheque' bit over on the pub quiz thread pretty much had me sneezing my soup out laughing. It reminded me of misheard lyrics...I've heard these actually have a name: Mondagreens -taken from some poem or sonnet or something -it's original lyric contained the phrase "...his Lord and laid him on the green". This was heard by many as "Lord and Lady Mondagreen", or so goes the legend...

Anyhoo...know any? I have a couple:

Excuse me while I kiss this guy (that would be Jimi Hendrix, and "kiss the sky")

Last night, I dreamt of some bagels (dreamt of San Pedro -Madonna- La Isla Bonita)

Bred upon a douche, another gunner in his sights (yeah...revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night...blinded by the light, etc etc)

*hugs and sances around the lounge with Crunch* Yay! Either you escaped or made it too the attic where Sunny and Ben are, busily working on the computer Nikkie kindly gave them so they could make the extension, -either way, yay! You are back.

"wanna be the freak $h1t in your jeans..." was what my mother heard in a Fall Out Boy song (Sugar We're Going Down's "friction in your jeans")

Maybe a tad innapropriate, but it made me giggle.

Nobody responded to the 2nd song of Detective Smart Ass's.

"There's a bathroom on the right" would actually be "There's a bad moon on the rise" by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Am I right DSA?

I know of a band that intentionally sings the lyrics to Bad Moon that way - "There's a bathroom on the right." Most people don't even notice.

When I was a young girl, I watched the Doris Day show, and I always thought she was singing to a girl named Kay Sarah. (Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be . . .)

*fills jeans with sugar for friction*

Yay friction!

*Cliff Clavin voice* it's a little known fact that John Fogerty suffered the rages of irritable bowel syndrome, so in fact the original lyric really WAS, 'there's a bathroom on the right'.

True story, I swear.
