I am still convinced that there is a line in "Mr. BoJangles" that says "he crapped his pants, took a stand and jumped so high". I tried singing "clapped his hands", but it doesn't fit. It's hilarious - try singing that along to the song next time you hear it.
Oh yah, and have you ever heard "Father of Mine" by Everclear? There is a line the guy keeps repeating ... "My daddy gave me a name". Now, is it me or sdoes it sound like he says, "my daddy laid me an egg"?
