Jokes:
This is a true story, but funny. A bride asked for her favourite song, Bryan Adams 'Everything I do…' - The theme from Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves (a joke itself) to be played at her wedding. The day before, the church organist was taken ill and the previous incumbent, an elderly gentleman, stood in. As the bride came in, the organist saw 'Theme from Robin Hood' and played the bouncy tune from the 1950's TV series on Robin Hood, which goes with the words 'Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen...'

Misheard Lyrics: I'm gonna runter you
I'm gonna runter you And when the feeling's right I'm gonna stay all night I'm gonna runter you. Original Lyrics: I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you And when the feeling's right I'm gonna stay all night I'm gonna run to you. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: V Sandison This came out when I was about 8 years old. And, not knowing what 'runter' could mean, I took a stab in the dark and assumed it to be a grown-up term for having sex. Thank goodness I worked out the real lyrics before I started having relationships. It could have been extremely embarrassing! |

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Straight From The Heart"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: You say it's easy but who's to say, that we'd be able to keep it this way.
Why They're Nonsensical: These lyrics may not seem very sensible, but in fact they are. If you listen to the following line it is quite clear that "but who's to say" is asking the question not of the previous line "you say it's easy" but of the following "that we'd be able to keep it this way". Therefore it makes perfect sense!

"A Night to Remember"
The Dirty Lyrics: I love the way ya move tonight
Beads of sweat drippin down your skin Me lying here - n you lyin there Our shadows on the wall and our hands everywhere Why They're Dirty: Okay, the lyrics pretty much sum up the message, but the imagery is strong. Plus Adams' raspy vocals adds to the song's sex appeal

| "Summer of 69"
The Dirty Lyrics: Those were the best days of my life
The summer of 69 Why They're Dirty: I went to one of his concerts and he mentioned that 69 does not refer to the year, but it does refer to the sexual position. He was probably referring to the summer he lost his virginity, and no it wasn't 1969.

Music With a Warning Label:
"So Far So Good"
The "warning" is really on the CD itself. It's a picture disc made up to resemble a truck tire in appearance (a monster tire is on the cover too). There's the artist and album names, the track list and copyright info, written in a circumscribe format. After the record label credits and warning (copying prohibited, ...) there's a simple sentence: Do not inflate above 50 p.s.i. This "warning" is an example of humor more than anything else.
