I thought when Bon Jovi said Shake it up in Bad Medicine he was saying Chiquita.

Sweet Home Alabama's intro "Turn it up" sounded to me like "20 dolla."

Hall and Oates sounded like "Hauling Oats."

Prince's "Raspberry beret" sounded like "Raspberry Parade."

My mom said when I was 3 or 4 I would walk around singing the Tom Petty song "Don't do me Like That" as "Don't do my Cat".

Also the "Help me Rhonda" at the end where it's supposed to be "get her outta my heart", I would say "Get her outta my car".

There's a UNLV track that ends with "make you lose more blood than Jim Mora lost, period." I always thought it was "make you lose more blood than Jim Mora lost hearing" (which would have made a lot of sense).

Had a friend who thought…

“More than a woman” was “Bald headed woman”

“Cat scratch fever” was “Catch that streaker”

Also, one of my daughter’s friends was heard singing Tiny Dancer with the lyrics…

“Hold me tight and tie me down, sir”

Each of these unfortunate individuals were teased mercilessly.

Springsteen wrote revved up like a deuce; i have no idea where douche came from when mm covered it




The original line from Springsteen is "Cut loose like a deuce"

A Deuce being a '32 Ford (like Little Deuce Coupe).

When Manfred Mann did it, they changed the line to "Revved up like a Deuce". Why? Unclear.

Manfred Mann claims the reason it sounds like douche was a technical issue. A faulty azimuth which prevented them from remixing it. I don't buy that.
