Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Doo Wah Diddy"
Misheard Lyrics: Holding my hand just as mental as can be.
Original Lyrics: Holding our hands just as natural as can be.

Story about this misheard lyric by: JD For the longest time I thought they were singing the word 'mental.' Whenever that part came on, it reminded me of Ed Grimley, I must say. But I soon found out that the word was actually 'natural.' I also thought that the word was 'gentle' when I submitted the same misheard lyric last week. Sorry about that. So the correct word is definitely 'natural.' |
Funny Lyrics:
"Do Wah Diddy"
The Funny Lyrics: Clicking her fingers and shuffling her feet
Singing Do-Wa-Diddy, Diddy Dum Diddy Do She looked good, she looked fine Why They're Funny: (In the words of Peter Kay!) How could she look good shuffling her feet, clicking her fingers and singing nonsense words? You try that down the local market and you'll either get locked up or beaten up.

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I like to go just like the rest
I like my sugar sweet But jumping queues and making haste Just ain't my cup of meat Why They're Nonsensical: "Meat" instead of "tea" was used to force a rhyme with "sweet." A nice cup of ground round, anyone?
Submitted by: Martha Hankins
| "Do Wah Diddy"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime
Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love Why They're Nonsensical: 'We was...' Plural subjects take plural verbs. Another case of bad English from the English.

Songs That Open With Their Titles:
"Do Wah Diddy Diddy"
Opening Lines: There she was just a-walkin' down the street, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do."
Comments: "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" was the only #1 for the original/1960's group of South African keyboardist Manfred Mann. Many at the time that "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" was hot on the charts, thought Manfred Mann might be British, but he wasn't he is definitely South African -- although he did have a five man combo that was composed mainly of British men. Manfred Mann also originally started out as jazz artist, but realized that to make money he might need to go into pop. "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" was also a remake of the American soul group the Exciters song written by the duo Barry/Greenwich.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"Do Wah Diddy Diddy"
The Lyrics: I knew we was falling in love
Why: Although this was written by the prolific songwriting team of Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, I can't help but think that these lyrics project a grasp of English that is tenuous at best!
