Emergency Backup Overnight Thread – 06/06/2024

Dave unintentionally went off the grid due to an extended power outage, so with apologies, you are getting a relief pitcher who didn’t even bring his glove to the park. But don’t worry about me, Dave is the one whose food has all spoiled, so right now he’s in his backyard feeding his family by roasting cicadas on a stick like marshmallows.

Let’s find something to discuss…

How about songs whose lyrics you always heard wrong or just had fun singing incorrectly?

I don’t think I can ever hear the Bee Gees’ lyrics the right way again after watching this video:

When I was a little kid, my best buddy and I would sit together at church services. Our favorite hymn was “Lead On O King Eternal” because we thought we were just hilarious singing “Lead On O Kinky Turtle” instead. Well, we tried to sing it that way, but we were giggling too hard to get the words out.

Lead on, O kinky turtle
The day of march has come;
Henceforth in fields of conquest
Thy tents shall be our home.
Through days of preparation
Thy grace has made us strong;
And now, O kinky turtle,
We lift our battle song.

Here is Wayne’s World with their Top-5 Misheard lyrics.

Here are some more good ones:

Paul Young: "Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you." (Every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you.)

ABBA: "See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen." (See that girl, watch that scene, diggin’ the dancing queen.)

The Eurythmics: "Sweet dreams are made of cheese” (Sweet dreams are made of these.)

Johnny Nash: "I can see clearly now, Lorraine is gone" (I can see clearly now the rain is gone.)

Bon Jovi: "It doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not" (It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not.)

Selena Gomez: "I'm farting carrots" (I’m 14 carat.)

Queen: "Kicking your cat all over the place" (Kicking you can all over the place.)

Kings of Leon: "Oh, dyslexics on fire” (Oh this sex is on fire.)

Sister Sledge: "Let me just staple the vicar” (Let me state for the record.)

Will Smith: "Kick a chicken with it" (Getting jiggy with it.)

Elton John: "Hold me closer, Tony Danza" (Hold me closer tiny dancer.)

What are some of yours?
