Elvis Costello's, "Accidents Will Happen"
Misheard Lyrics:
There are so many people to see
So many people you can sh*t upon
At your pleasure
So many people you can sh*t upon
At your pleasure
Original Lyrics:
There are so many people to see
So many people you can check upon
And add to your collection
So many people you can check upon
And add to your collection
This portion of the song was heard in the movie "E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial" when Michael came home from football practice and was checking the fridge for something to eat; he was singing this song. Ever since 1982 I thought he was saying the "misheard" lyrics I wrote above!
