Loved the song but didn't understand 90% of the lyrics.

Elton John

I'm a rocket man working on a kind of parralon

"Waco my airplane
Waco my airplane
My skin is bare..."

WTF does Waco have to do with his airplane?

I also thought it was Medieval woman.

Also used to think Jay Z was saying "Big Pimpin Spreadin the Cheese." (Instead of spending cheese). Just assumed it was some black guy phrase I didn't know

Friend at work blew me away the other day. I was listening to David Bowie's Suffragette City and he walked by during the chorus. He then sang "I want to suck on dem titties". He caught me off guard with that one.

I don't recognize what that's from, but someone ought to use it in a song about a guy pissed off at his neighbor's barking dog. Maybe a "Hey, Joe" kind of thing.

My favorite misheard lyrics is when I first heard the song "Black Rose Dying" by Bless The Fall and they were all wrong compared to what the internet said. I mean, it was a funny song to listen to at the time being, but, man, was it all wrong and funny.

"Killing me softly with his saw"

I always thought it said saw instead of song until about a year ago

"Killing me softly with his saw"


Tag the rest of the lyrics with this, and the song does become deeply disturbing.

quote:

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his saw,
killing me softly with his saw,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his saw

I heard he had a good saw, I heard he had a style.
And so I came to see him to listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on

Killing me softly with his saw

He sawed as if he knew me in all my dark despair
and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there.
But he just came to sawing, sawing clear and strong.

When I first heard Jane's Addiction's Been Caught Stealing I thought they were saying

One of my friend's husband for years thought the Rolling Stones were singing about a "Big Suburban"
We didn't correct him until we were on a road trip together and he is signing for all he is worth and I almost wrecked the truck laughing.
"I'll never be you Big Suburban!"
