Misheard Lyrics Stories:
|
"Travelin' Man"
Misheard Lyrics: Oh, my sweet frog lyin'
Down in Birmingham Original Lyrics: Oh my sweet fräulein
Down in Berlin town |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Robert Jones I first heard this as a child then unfamiliar with any German words or places, so naturally I was hard-put to understand it. I made out the best hearing of it I could. I never heard the song again or consciously remembered it that I know of until well after I was grown up. Incidentally, in the meantime, when I first learned that there was a German language, I do remember having a vague notion at first that I might be spoken somewhere like Alabama or thereabouts. I always wondered where that notion came from, but didn't have a clue until I started doing karaoke and learned this song again, it being vaguely familiar from of old. I realized then the confusion between Berlin town and Birmingham just might have been the origin of my confusion about German being spoken in Alabama. |
Dated Song Lyrics:
"it's Late"
The Dated Lyrics: Can't phone, (can't phone) we done spent ev'ry dime.
Why They're Dated: Even if he did still have a dime, it wouldn't do him much good seeing as how pay phones cost more than that now. Then again, if the song were to be recorded today, he wouldn't be worried about pay phone money, but lack of a cell phone.
