Misheard Lyrics Story:

"You Ain't Goin Nowhere"
Misheard Lyrics: Buy me a flute
In the gum chute. Original Lyrics: Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Terri Powers I always wondered where you could find a gum machine that sold flutes. Sounded like a nice cheap deal to me! I was in fourth grade when I first heard this, and just think what I might have heard if Dylan was drawling this instead of Baez! I rarely understand him. |

Inappropriate Lyrics:
"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Like my father before me, I'm a working man...
Why They're Inappropriate: The line about 'my wife in Tennessee' isn't the only one with a misplaced gender reference. Actually this sort of 'gender bender' is so common (especially in cover songs like this one) that it probably deserves its own page on this site.
Submitted by: Joshua Truax
| "Diamonds and Rust"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: A couple of light years ago...
Why They're Inappropriate: She is referring to the passage of time (ago), but light years are a measure of distance. (the distance light will travel in one year's time)
