Story about this misheard lyric by: Dick Mozell My buddy thought it was some sort of a dessert made with heroin, a haro pie. I told him that was stupid, so he blew his nose on me and it devolved into what is now known as "the snot fight". Hey we were in middle school and it was 25 years ago...what can I say. |

Song Parody Fragments:

Better Lyrics:
Well, I heard Mr. Tong sing about them.
Well, I heard ol' Will put 'em down.
But I hope Will Tong can remember.

Inappropriate Lyrics:
"What's Your Name?"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: What's your name little girl, what's your name?
Shouldn't you stay, little girl Well there ain't no shame. **** And the gentlman belts out in post coitus class: **** Can I get you a taxi home? It sure was grand. Why They're Inappropriate: Perhaps 'little girl' is a relative descriptive term with the Rolling Stones now in their 60s but it sure sounds like the singer here should be wearing a GPS ankle bracelet and on a certain registry list. Ah but that's Rock&Roll, just ask Jerry Lee Lewis.
