"Rubber Ball"
Misheard Lyrics: I'm gonna rub a ball
Monkey-bounce right back to you. Original Lyrics: And like a rubber ball
I come bouncin' back to you. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Devil Jones My friend kept singing these lines, with the aid of some heavy inebriation, while we were mucking around with radio tuners and happened to land on a station playing a marathon of golden oldies. The next day I asked her how one can monkey bounce after rubbing balls. No surprise that she couldn't remember what she had said at all the other night, let alone what she sang so looked at me as if I was a psycho. |

Songs That Open With Their Titles:
"Come Back When You Grow Up "
Opening Lines: Come back when you grow up, girl.
Comments: "Come Back When You Grow Up" was the last top ten hit for Bobby Vee and had the unusual distinction of being Bobby Vee's song hit to be in the top ten post the Beatles success in America -- in 1965.

| "One Last Kiss"
Opening Lines: One last kiss, one last kiss, give me one last kiss.
Comments: "One Last Kiss" is somewhat prophetic. "One Last Kiss" is prophetic in many ways since it was Bobby Vee's last top twenty hit before the Beatles were to start the British Invasion -- as what would happen to many American artists. A matter of fact unlike his previous hit from the summer of 1963 (with "One Last Kiss" being it's followup in the winter of 1964), the #3 hit, "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes" it got stalled and may have gotten stalled on the charts thanks to the Beatles.
