Story about this misheard lyric by: Lotta Bass

The misheard lyric is from the lyric section of a badly transcribed Asian bootleg. We were in a recording session, and one of the musicians brought it in. Everyone started laughing so hard, we couldn't get anything recorded for a half hour or so.

Song Parody Fragments:

"My Way"
Better Lyrics:
That Harry Connick is just a punk.
His record shows, he really blows
Can't do it My Way

Original Lyrics:
To say the things he truly feels
and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way!

Strangers in the Night
Exchanging Pantses
These ones are too tight
What are the chances
That we'd be sharing pants
Before the night was through
Original Lyrics:
Strangers in the night
Exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances
That we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through

Insulting Lyrics:

"Love and Marriage"
The Insulting Lyrics:
Love and marriage, love and marriage
They go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other

Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Why They're Insulting:
I'll be blunt; this rather smarmy song rubs it right in the faces of gays
Submitted by: Diddims
 

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"Nice 'N' Easy"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
The problem now, of course,
is to simply hold our horses.
To rush would be a crime.
Why They're Inappropriate:
The song's whole message is about not rushing it. So from that point of view, holding one's horses is clearly part of a solution, not the problem.
Submitted by: Alison Runyon
"The Lady Is A Tramp"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
She hates California --
It's cold and it's damp.
Why They're Inappropriate:
Since when is California noted for being cold and damp? Sure it's mountain heights can be cold, but isn't most of the state known for a mild to warm climate? And doesn't it have a lot of desert, including the driest in the United States?
Submitted by: Kirsten Abercrombie

Dated Lyrics:

"Let's Get Away From It All"
The Dated Lyrics:
We'll travel 'round from town to town,
We'll visit ev'ry state.,
I'll repeat, 'I love you sweet!',
In all the forty-eight.
Why They're Dated:
There, are, of course, fifty U. S. states now (It's been that way since 1959).
Submitted by: Regina Haniger
"It Was A Very Good Year"
The Dated Lyrics:
But now the days are short,
I'm in the autumn of the year.
Why They're Dated:
Frank died during the spring of 1998, so he he didn't even make the autumn of that year.

Dirty Lyrics:

"Luck be a Lady"
The Dirty Lyrics:
A lady doesn't wander all over the room and blow on some other guy's dice.
Why They're Dirty:
Yeah, the dice are more than the ones you use to roll.

Songs That Open With Their Titles:

"It Was A Very Good Year"
Opening Lines:
When I was seventeen It was a very good year.
Comments:
I nearly forgot this classic from Ol' Blue Eyes until I heard it on the Walter Conkrite special on Friday. "It Was A Very Good Year" was from the mid-1960's during the time that there was a sudden resurgance for Sinatra's music during the time when British Invasion started by the Beatles and Motown sound was dominating the charts.

Real Places Mentioned in Songs:

"Theme From New York, New York"
The Lyrics:
Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today I want to be a part of it -- New York, New York These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray Right through the very heart of it - New York, New York.
Why:
In 1977, a movie was being considered for production and would star a rather older, but still dashing, Frank Sinatra (the part would be re-written and the film would be released in 1978 with Liza Minelli playing a female version of the character Sinatra was going to play). But Sinatra still sang and cut a version of what was proposed as the theme for the film, "New York, New York". The film would be set in the 1940's in the town of New York City, and the rest is history as this song has become a theme for the world reknowned city of New York (especially post 9/11). What was interesting though about the song at the time was that New York City was going through several severe financial crises in the early and mid 1970's and many residents there rejected and idea of another theme song (that of course has changed as the financial well being of the city has at least stabilized, if not improved).

"Three Coins In A Fountain"
The Lyrics:
Three hearts it a fountain,
Each heart longing for its home.
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome.
Why:
Refers to Rome, Italy.

Songs That Are Banned:

"I Get A Kick Out Of You"
In 1953, Frank Sinatra records this tune originally written by Cole Porter for the 1934 Broadway musical, "Anything Goes" (Ol' Blue Eyes has a hit with his version the following year of 1954). For radio airplay, Capital records has Sinatra change the perceived drug reference "I get no kick from cocaine," to "I get perfume from Spain."

Foreign Language in English Songs:

"I won't dance"
The Lyrics:
I won't dance, madame with you.
I won't dance, merci beaucoup.
Why:
'Madame' means Lady in French and 'Merci Beaucoup' means 'Thanks very much' in French as well.
Submitted by: Paul Warren
 

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:

"My Way"
The Lyrics:
And now, the end is near. And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and every highway. But more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Why:
The song has a great orchestral climax, but it sounds like a singing will just before this man dies.
