Misheard Lyrics

[Bryan]

For years, I thought that the theme song to WKRP in Cincinnati said "Baby, if you ever wondered/wondered whatever the KRP".

(In fact, it says "wondered whatever became of me.")

Speaking of WKRP, has anyone ever been able to decipher the lyrics to the closing theme? I've always heard that it's nothing but gibberish.

There are clearly words in it, but reportedly the guy singing it was just making up gibberish.


Nevertheless!



Bear tooth botch and a foxy night a-heya
Said a little morning and a microphone was in her heart
I said booth botch and a aa-aa-at a-heya
I said a bood bood and a boodinight and in her heart

Here's another interpretation.

I'm pretty sure about the microphone in her heart.

Here's another go:

Blinded by the Light-Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Misheard lyric: "Wrapped up like a douche, another runner in the night."
Real lyric: "Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night."

Every time I hear that song, I get a chuckle.

It's not cut loose like a deuce?

In the Springsteen version it's cut loose, which makes more sense.

I am reviving this thread to ask a somewhat related question of the FOT community: Can anyone explain what the hell is going on in the skit at the beginning of Ghostface Killah's "More Fish" album?  What it seems like to me (as weird as it may seem):

-Ghost is at a 2007 New Year's Eve party.
-He is talking to a "friend" although it sounds like some animosity lurks just beneath the surface.
-Friend mentions how he hurt his foot in 2007.
-Ghost remembers the hurt foot and how the friend put peanut butter on his toes(?) Ghost finds the memory of this hilarious.
-Friend becomes enraged at this. He is embarrassed.
-Starts yelling at Ghost.
-As the countdown to 2007 starts, more dirty laundry comes out...Ghost owes the person money.

Could that possibly be right? If I am right, then it is insane.

Even more disorienting? That was uncut documentary sound footage.

In "Bennie and the Jets," what I heard (when I was about 8, listening to AM Top 40 radio):

"She's got electric boobs, a [blah blah blah], you know I read it in a Pakistani, oh oh, B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets"

The real lyrics: "She's got electric boots, a mohair suit, you know I read it in a magazine..." etc.

Outside of a Pakistani, a book is man's best friend.  Inside of a Pakistani, it's too dark to read.

Today while listening to the fantastic new New Pornographers album (maybe their best work ever), I was sure I heard Neko sing, 'You're a Todd Glass, a blast from the past'.

In fact it was 'tall glass'. What a disappointment.

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those gay men go
It's the freakiest show
