Story about this misheard lyric by: Egbert Souse All these years, I thought Canned Heat was singing about 'marijuana'. When I heard the song recently in a commercial for Tide detergent, my jaw dropped. I thought, 'Tide and marijuana, now those are some grass stains!' I just couldn't believe my ears. I told people to listen for the commercial. Then I decided to look up the lyrics and found I've been mishearing them for more than 30 years. |
