Am I the only one this happens to? I used to “feel it coming in the yellow night” with Phil Collins. What are yours?
“I’m your penis! I’m your fire, your desire!”
“Don’t bring me down… Bruce!” as heard by everyone ever.
(It’s “gross,” supposedly. Apparently Jeff Lynne sings “Bruce” sometimes in concert just to mess with his fans.)
It’s “groos” which he made up on the spot. https://genius.com/2582537
“Wrapped up like a douche”
– Blinded by the Light, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band
From Wikipedia:
Springsteen has joked about confusion over the lyrics, claiming that it was not until Manfred Mann rewrote the song to be about a feminine hygiene product that it became popular.
For the longest time, I thought this lyric in The Decemberists’ Annan Water was:
“…though my mother cries, that if I try, I sure will drown in pee…”
They repeat it 4 times; the last one, especially, I just can’t hear otherwise.
“Why is Bowie singing about Surfer Jet City?”
“Dude, the song is called Suffragette City.”
“Oh. Uh, what the hell is-”
“Dude, I dunno.”
I recall a YT commenter on Major Lazer’s Lean On that thought “Blow kiss, fire a gun” was “Marcus Firagon.”
“Snow White, take it easy…”
I thought Foghat were singing about a nympho fairy tale character.
😂
'scuse me while I kiss this guy
I remember the singer saying he would actually sing “kiss this guy” to mess with people.
Hold me closer Tony Danza
Hold me close, young Tony Danza
