"Venus and Furs"
Misheard Lyrics: Wrapped in estrous
Original Lyrics: Strike, dear mistress.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Laurel I kept thinking of a Venus wrapped in fur and how that might be sexy, just like estrus *being in heat* pheromones, so that's all I could think of. |
Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Some Kinds of Love"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Some kinds of love are mistaken for fishing poles.
Why They're Nonsensical: ...okay, this I will concede, however, Uncle Lou fails to specify *what* kinds of love, hence this lyric is nonsense!

Made Up Words in Songs:
"Heroin"
The Made Up Words: jim-jims
Comments: "Because when the smack begins to flow/I really don't care anymore/About all the jim-jims in this town" Given the song's druggy haze, the word fits in quite well.
