On Mon, 06 Sep, Theresa wrote: Anybody remember that Gordon Lighfoot song, "The Wreck of the Ella Fitzgerald"? The canonical list of misheard lyrics is at: http://www.kissthisguy.com/ The web site is named after the most misheard lyrics there are, the line, "Scuse me while I kiss the sky" from "All Along The Watchtower." Some of them are hilarious but the real laughs come from the situation the person was in when they discovered the error. One teenager was trying to impress a boy she liked at a weekend party and sang along with the stereo, "Like A Rhinestone Pine Cone" instead of "Like A Rhinestone Cowboy." Monday morning in school she found she had acquired "Rhinestone Pine Cone" as a new nickname. A surprising number of people found out that they had misheard the lyrics while singing at a karaoke bar. Nothing like making an ass of yourself in front of a bunch of drunken strangers. Regards and Purrs, O J I always thought that it was "Like a Real Stoned Cowboy". |

My all-time favourite misheard lyrics are from Walt Kelly's great comic strip, Pogo, in which the folks in the halls have a go at the carol, "Deck the Halls". Here are a couple of versions of the lyrics they come up with. http://www.igopogo.com/deck_us_all.htm |

And all the other inhabitants of the swamp. And that famous phrase! Walt Kelly first used that quote from his famous possum on a poster for Earth Day in 1970. In 1971, he did a two panel version with Pogo and Porky Porcupine in a trash filled swamp...Pogo responding to Porky with "YEP, SON, WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US." In 1972, it was the title of a book, Pogo: We Have Met the Enemy and He Is Us.
