Misheard Lyrics Stories:

"Superfreak"
Misheard Lyrics:
The girl's a superfreak
The kind you don't take home to mother
The kind of girl you read about
In Newsweek magazine
Original Lyrics:
The girl's a super freak
The kind you don't take home to mother
The kind of girl you read about
In lurid magazines

Story about this misheard lyric by: Roxanne Smith

My brother and I heard this song on the radio several months ago, and he started singing along. When he came to the 'lurid magazines' line, he sang 'In Newsweek magazine.' When I asked him why, he said that he thought that Rick James was singing those words. I told him what the real line was, and he replied, 'Oh really? That does make more sense.' Turns out he'd had it wrong for almost twenty years.

Song Parody Fragments:

"Superfreak"
Better Lyrics:
She's a creepy kind of girl
The dame in the black dress named Elvira

(The Elvira I'm talking about was the host of a TV horror program years ago. I never watched it, but I remember seeing her, she was pretty famous back then. She had a black wig, a very low-cut black dress, etc).
Original Lyrics:
She's a kinky kind of girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
Submitted by: Lady Daydreamer
"Super Freak"
Better Lyrics:
He's a very crazy guy
the kind who camps out at Knoebel's
You can bet he'll always be around
when they're giving ERT

He likes Millenium Force
He says it's his all time favorite
When he makes his move to front row it's the right time
He's never hard to please
oh no

The guy is really wild now
(the guy's a coaster freak)
The kind of boy you read about
(In Park World Magazine)
He's ridden every coaster
(in US and UK)
He's got his season passes
(Six Flags and Paramount)

He's a nerd
He's a nerd
That guy's a nerd, is he?
yeah...
hey hey hey HEY!
Original Lyrics:
She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl

She likes the boys in the band
She says that I'm her all-time favorite
When I make my move to her room it's the right time
She's never hard to please

That girl is pretty wild now
The girl's a super freak
The kind of girl you read about
In new-wave magazines
That girl is pretty kinky
The girl's a super freak
I really love to taste her
Every time we meet
She's all right, she's all right
That girl's all right with me, yeah
hey hey hey HEY!
