Sing Song
Have you ever had one of those songs that you loved so much but you just couldn’t get the words right. Well you had what you THOUGHT were the right words but it turns out they weren’t? THANK GOD for Lyric looker uppers. This song by Tim McGraw, Live Like You Were Dying, is one of my latest favorites. When I hear it I’m singing it out loud, especially in the car, but there’s this one line that I could NOT figure out! So today I looked it up.
My Version:
I went sky divin',
I went rocky mountain climbin',
I went 2.7 seconds on a full man Fu Manchu.
Tim’s Version:
Tim’s Version:
I went sky divin',
I went rocky mountain climbin',
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fu Manchu.
This Red Hot Chili Pepper song just totally distracted my driving when it first came out. I was so busy driving along trying to listen to that hot singer guy pronounce each syllable so I could understand. As a result of not understanding what the hell he was saying I was making up all kinds of words to The Zephyr Song.
My version:
Fly away on hu huh-huhI uh uhh then ever
And in this perfect weather
MMMM MMMMmmm M togetherFly on my …….
Red Hot Chili Peppers Version:
Red Hot Chili Peppers Version:
Fly away on my ZephyrI feel it more then ever
And in this perfect weatherWe'll find a place together
Fly on my wing
The problem was I just didn’t know what the hell a Zephyr was. I still don’t know what the hell a Zephyr is (This is when my link to the dictionary comes in handy) Ok just looked it up…Zephyr…a gentle breeze…whatever.
I had this boyfriend in high school that was without a doubt obsessed with learning the words to Informer, by Snow. Do you remember that rediculous song? Reach back -- 1993. Can I tell you that I listed to my boyfriend rewind the Informer single 80 million times on the way to school just so he could sing along to these words:
You know say daddy me snow me-a (gonna) blame
A licky boom-boom down'
Tective man he say, say
Daddy Me Snow me stab someone down the lane
A licky boom-boom down
Police-a them-a they come and-a they blow down me door
Police-a them-a they come and-a they blow down me door
One him come crawl through through my window
So they put me in the back the car at the station
From that point on I reach my destination
Well the destination reached in down-a
East detention
Where they whip down me pants look up me bottom
Last but not least I love the Black Crows Song, Hard To Handle. Lizzy introduced that to me at some point in highschool. My favorite part is the chorus, which I sing VERY LOUD, and then I just kind of make up the rest of it. Check it out:
My Version:
Baby here I amI'm the man on the street
I can’t give you what you want
But you gotta' come home with me
I have got some good old lovin'
And I got somthin more to say
When I get …uh huhuhu
You’ve got to come back for more
Dada…. things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' uhuh muffin
Hey little thing let me light your candle
Hey little thing let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle now
Yes around
Black Crows Version:
Baby here I amI'm the man on the scene
Black Crows Version:
Baby here I amI'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you gotta' come home with me
I have got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta' come back for more
Boys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Hey little thing let me light your candle'
Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle now
Yes I am
Do you have any interesting lyrics you'd like to share?
MY EVENING AGENDA:
I will be attending the The Mayors Tournament Party Hosted by Mayor Anthony Williams which includes a Concert performance by Smash Mouth and is Benifiting the Hoop Dreams Scholarship fund. Does that sound rad or what?

Dude, I'm so dying right now. I totally thought Tim's lyrics were "a full man Fu Manchu". Josh and I listened to it very closely one night though, and figured the bull thing out.
And the last line of the Black Crowes lyrics is totally "yes around". I refuse to believe anything else!
And I completely remember that stupid freakin' Snow song being played one thousand times by a couple of our friends. They even had all the crappy remixes and S**t.
GOd I am so glad that you're not the only one that thought that about the full man fu manchu thing. It was driving me INSANE! I heard it to day on way to lunch with prompted me to look it up.
I totally thought that song, I wanna f you like an animal was I wanna f you like an enema. Ha ha. There were some Boys to Men songs that were like that, where I thought they said, "Gonna swallow my brain", when it was "Gonna swallow my pride". Weird.
Oh, and stomp on your fingers turned out to be stop pointing fingers.
*blushes*
The Police ... Every Step you take.
My version:
Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poohole aches with every step you take
Police's version:
Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
What can I say? I was 15 or something. I totally thought they were a gay band singing a gay man anthem. They might've been for all I know.
Jeanette's answer made me think of one more funny one that always gets to me:
Enrique Iglesias' Bialamos
My version:
?Bailamos! - We Dance
Let the rhythm take you over...
BY THE BALLS!
Te quiero amor mio - I want you, my love
BY THE BALLS!
Wanna live this night forever...
BY THE BALLS!
Te quiero amor mio...
?Te quiero! - I want you
Enrique's version
?Bailamos! - We Dance
Let the rhythm take you over...
?Bailamos!
Te quiero amor mio - I want you, my love
?Bailamos!
Wanna live this night forever...
?Bailamos!
Te quiero amor mio...
?Te quiero! - I want you
Do you know the song "Pinch Me" by the Barenaked Ladies? Well, the chorus part goes really fast and the words are blurred together. Here are the real lyrics:
"It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is..."
This is really terrible, but that line about the "guy my size" sounds like something else! My husband and I both SWEAR that the singer is saying "s*** my d*** a while"!!!!!! Feel free to delete my comment here if your parents read the blog or something! :) But go listen to the song and tell me it doesn't sound like that!!!!
By the way, I LOVE that Tim McGraw song! It makes me CRY every time I hear it! LOVE IT! :)
In Cream's song "White Room" I am convinced he sings the name Lap Von Dickhead. I am not sure who Lap Von Dickhead was or could be, but I am fairly certain the guy is mentioned in the song.
While tuned into the classic rock station, let me just say that the level of homoeroticism in Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" is sure to give Michael Stipe a chubby. I mean he sings "Excuse me while I kiss this guy."
