Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Potter"
Misheard Lyrics: I told this chick she could see my p****
And lay a cactus back in the confines of my home. Original Lyrics: I told her strict she could see my prickled
Cactus back in the confines of my home. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Igor Molotov On the Internet, there doesn't seem to be total agreement on what the lyrics really are here. (Is it for instance 'strict' or 'quick'?) For my part, I'm still pretty sure that my version is the correct one. At least, the hormone-filled teenager that I was when I first heard this song back in the mid-eighties was never in doubt that Potter was making a very direct proposal to some delicious broad. |
