Misheard Lyrics Stories:

"Delta Dawn"

Misheard Lyrics:

El Kabong what's that flower you have on?

Original Lyrics:

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?

Story about this misheard lyric by: Paul Greengross

NPR's 'All Things Considered' did a ten minute piece about misunderstood rock lyrics about 10 years+ ago. I still remember the 'Delta Dawn' one. El Kabong is a character that 'Quick Draw McGraw' did on the Huckleberry Hound show.

Repetitive Song Lyrics:

"Delta Dawn" The Repetitive Lyrics: Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on? Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? And did I here you say he was a-meetin' you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky? Why They're Repetitive: Helen sings this many times toward the end, Dwlta Dawn finally told her, 'None of your freakin' business!' Submitted by: mor	"Leave Me Alone" The Repetitive Lyrics: Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone Why They're Repetitive: Yeah, and I left it alone. Submitted by: str810up

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Angie Baby"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

And the music's so loud it spins him around
'Til his soul has lost its way
And as she turns the volume down
He's getting smaller with the sound
It seems to pull him off the ground
Toward the radio he's bound, never to be found
The headlines read that a boy disappeared
And everyone thinks he died
'Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover
Who keeps her satisfied

Why They're Nonsensical:

Music can't spin anyone around by itself, although a person might make himself or herself spin around to the music. No person gets smaller as the loudness of music decreases. No person can disappear into a radio. And if the boy is "never to be found" after disappearing into the radio (assuming such a thing could happen!), then how could the girl still have him as a secret lover?
