For the past 12 years I thought a line in Chickamauga by Uncle Tupelo was ‘jousting is for pleasure’ and today someone else said on another board it`s ‘Charleston is for pleasure’
I kinda like Charleston better,I imagine Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy doing that old 1930`s dance in the studio
November 18, 2005 at 1:01 pm #106344when I was itty-bitty my dad used to listen to this one Tom Petty record a lot; at age 4 or 5Â I thought "don’t have to live like a refugee" was "don’t have to live like american cheese."Â when you’re a toddler the word "refugee" isn’t in your vocabulary…I guess american cheese is the next best thingÂ
November 19, 2005 at 8:23 pm #106345Yeah, Rosa, something about kids and food, Whenever my son heard the line "On your own, pack a lunch, pick up the pieces etc….from "Set Us Free" he would laugh, I thought it was the "pack a lunch" part that was funny, as he packs his lunch for school each day ,A while back the song played in the car as we were driving around and he started to laugh, I asked him "Is it funny for you to hear J Mascis say "pack a lunch"………..No,no, thats not funny , the funny part is him demanding that someone picks up the pizza’s for him…..you know "pick up the pizza’s now, you’ve got no choice" Oh, no it’s not pizza’s I told him, it’s pieces, He looked baffled, "pieces of what, he asked,…………… Legos? "Let me hear it again" he asked, Gladly I did, and then he said "Why did you tell me that? "You messed it up, My mind will not go back" "back to what, pizzas" I asked "YEAH", he said and he was a little bummed.
he is over it now,

June 1, 2009 at 1:33 pm #106347Someone on another site mentioned this misheard lyric:
Madonna(yeah her again)-Material Girl
‘Boys who save their pennies make my rainy days’
they though it was:
‘Boys who shave their penis make my rainy days’

I’m guessing Madonna is happy either way.
A girl at my office sings Bobo was a man who thought he had a boner, but he only wore tight pants, get back get back, get back to where you once belonged.

Blinded by the Light lyrics will always be this:
"Revved up like a duece, another runner in the night" = "Wrapped up like a douche, another boner in the night"June 1, 2009 at 4:36 pm #106350"Robert" wrote:A girl at my office sings Bobo was a man who thought he had a boner, but he only wore tight pants, get back get back, get back to where you once belonged.
