In her last stage of her career, Dolly Parton found herself having to travel economically. So on her last tour, she took a train and slept in a coed sleeping coach. A man happened to be in an upper bunk and watched her getting ready for bed. She took out her contact lenses, took off her blonde wig, her girdle, steel reinforced bra that holds up her fake boobs, and was removing her teeth when she spotted the man watching her. "What do YOU want?" she snapped. "You know what I want," he replied, "now unscrew it and throw it up here." Submitted by: Jethro

Story about this misheard lyric by: Floyd Although it didn't seem to make sense as a lyric, I used to sing this along with the radio until my daughter got older. When she asked me not to sing along if her friends were in the car, I asked why. She told me. I had to get my wife to confirm that my lyrics were incorrect. Alas, I now only sing along when I'm alone. And when this song comes on the classic country station, I still use the 'Kukla' lyric. I guess PBS had a bigger influence on me when I was a kid than I thought. |

The Nonsensical Lyrics: Pour myself a cup of ambition
Why They're Nonsensical: Ambition is not a substance. You can't pour ambition, and it can't be contained in a cup.

"I'll Make Your Bed"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: I'm not the kind of girl that married dear dad
I don't make apple pies and cookies from scratch Later in the song... I promised forever on the day that we met That I'll love you truly and I'll make your bed. Why They're Misrhymed: I don't know why Dolly thinks that 'Dad' rhymes with 'scratch," because they just simply DON'T. 'Met' and 'bed' is perhaps understandable, but still pushing it.

| "Love Is Like A Butterfly"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies.
Why They're Inappropriate: Before writing this generally delightful song, Dolly Parton would have done well to observe whether she ever actually saw daffodils and butterflies together or not. Chances are she seldom if ever would have seen such an association. To begin with daffodils are late winter to early spring blooming flowers. Than means, at any give location, they bloom at a time of year earlier than when butterflies start appearing there in substantial numbers. Furthermore, even if butterflies were to find daffodils in bloom, they are hardly among the flowers they'd seek out for nectar (which is why butterflies visit flowers). You can find numerous references to what plants are good for growing in 'butterfliy gardens' to attract butterflies. You won't see daffodils listed among them. That is not only because of daffodils' blooming times. It is because flowers best suited for butterfly nectaring, at whatever season they might find them, are flowers that occur in clusters of numerous small flowers (that includes Composite family 'flowers' such as dandelions, goldenrod, etc., which are clusters, not single flowers). Daffodils would be further unsuitable because of their corona, the cup-like structure on top of the petals, a structure few flowers have. Such a corona's rim would be a particularly unsuitable place for a butterfly to try to perch and seek nectar.
