music

I have a friend who used to sing ' Down down deedums town ' instead of down down deeper and down.
I also had a girlfriend who's mother thought The group Level 42, was Nevelle Fortesque.

I used to think the line in Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way" was. "The bases are coated with traces of fat think it's safe to play?"

I used to think the Beach Boys song "Kokomo" was about Kokomo, Indiana.

I thought "Mr. Roboto" was about a cyborg that was killing people to stay alive.

I also thought that "Benny and the Jets" was "Granny's fanny at the dance."

Imagine her surprise and my absolute amusement when I heard my friend Linna singing, "Play that monkey music, white boy!" and I told her it was 'funky music'. What a hoot!! Can't hear that song today without seeing her snappin' her fingers and struttin' her stuff, singing those lyrics. A great memory for me!

My two children (ages 13 and 10) absolutely refuse to believe that Michael Jackson was ever dark skinned. I've shown pictures from my old Jackson Five albums, and they still don't believe me.

I used to think that the line in the Bee Gee's song "be tender with my love, you know how easy it is to hurt me" was actually, "be tender with my bones, you know how easy it is to break me"

I used to believe that song from the 70's "Doing it right on the wrong side of town" was about anal sex.

in the Red Hot Chili Peppers' song 'Breaking the Girl', he sings, 'she meant you no harm'. I thought he said, 'she can't chew no more'. Poor girl.

I used to listen to the back to the future soundtrack. The second track was called, "The Bomb Town," and was by Lindsey Buckingham. I thought she was some pop singer of the 80s. The voice also made me think the same, but after a few years, I saw the movie "Vacation," and the song "Holiday Road" was also by Lindsey Buckingham. I figured it was the same woman. Later I heard she was married to Stevie Nicks, but then I fianlly figured it out...

Lindsey Buckingham was the guitar player for Fleetwood Mac, and HE was married to the singer, SHE was Stevie Nicks.

My family used to listen to Broadway show tunes records. A favorite when I was about 6 years old was "West Side Story".

In the song "America", the Puerto Rican boys and girls argue about whether life in America is great, or not. I always believed that once I was older, I'd find out who "Morris Amalfi" was and why it mattered that he was in America:

"I like to be in America, Okay by me in America, Everything free in America, Morris Amalfi in America!"


The correct line, of course, is "For a small fee in America".

I asked my older sister what Eric Carmen meant when he sang "please baby go all the way" and she said it meant that he loved her so much he wanted her to go away, go all the way away.

A friend of mine thought The Eagles Life in the Fast Lane was Wipin' the Vaseline.

I thought that the song "Kind of a Drag" was a long commercial for Canada Dry.

"Here he co-oo-oo-oo-oo-omes, that's Catfish Clown..." I didn't know the name of the song was "Cathy's Clown" until I was 18.

my friend at school thought the beach boys song which goes ‘wish they all could be California girls’ was ‘wish we all could be chipolatas’… and hot chocolates ‘I believe in miracles’ was ‘ I believe in mirror balls’ she was about 14 when she thought this!!!!
