Story about this misheard lyric by: Captain America

Being English, I was not really familiar with American pronunciation at the time, and also I think I may have been drunk or stoned.

Band Name Anagrams:

New Left's Pop Submitted by: Natasha Bly

Super Long Pop Songs:

"Monster" Length: 9:15
Known as "Monster/Suicide/America", this song is a psychedelic point-of-view about America. It still speaks out today!
Submitted by: Paul Warren

Onomatopoeia in Lyrics:

"Earsplittenloudenboomer"
The Lyrics:
"Today, I haf goot nus, unt I have bat nus. (blah-blah-blah in Greman). Earsplitenloudenboomer...
Why:
Not really a "lyric", as the song is basically an instrumental. It opens with a recitation that is in laughable German, and morphs into some warped version of Herb Alpert. The only indication of the songs title comes at the end, when a "sonic boom" signals the finish of the cut.
