Misheard Lyrics Story:
|
"Long Tall Sally"
Misheard Lyrics: He saw Aunt Mary comin'
and he shut f***in' the hell up baby Original Lyrics: He saw Aunt Mary comin'
and he jumped back in the alley Oh, baby |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Artemis I first heard this song in the movie Predator when the mercenaries were in the helicopter in the beginning of the movie. I couldn't believe what I heard, but being an R-rated movie, it didn't surprise me. So I kept singing it that way and people were wondering 'Little Richard sang that?!?'. I decided to find out for sure, and sure enough, I found out I was wrong. I apologize to Little Richard. |
