There's a Bathroom on the Right...

One hot Summer day a bunch of my friends and I were cruising around in a boat on the Sacramento river. Drinking beer and listening to music. A classic CCR song came on. One of my friends began singing along with gusto, "There's a bathroom on the right..." We all started laughing so hard that the boat was in danger of capsizing. Once we recovered, we corrected her on the mistaken lyric.

I think, I know , we've all fallen victim to the misunderstood lyric phenomenon. I've memorized the incorrect song lyric and even after I've learned the correct line, well damn it...it's in my head the wrong way now. What to do?

When I was a kid, I could not figure out why Bennie, of Bennie and the Jets, had electric boobs and a mohair suit. Seemed like a fire hazard to me.

The Eagle's song, Hotel California is legend for misheard lyrics. My line was, "her mind is definitely twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz". Well, not so much. The lyric is " her mind is Tiffany twisted", I'll never remember that.

Manfred Mann has a famous one. I'm not alone. You know it, or a variation. "Wrapped up like a douche, and then he rode her in the night". Welllll, how about, "Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night"?

Sometimes the mistaken lyric can provide insight into the person, sometimes it's just plain crazy. There are purists who MUST know the exact words. There are folks who don't care and have fun with it. When I get an album I can't wait to read the liner notes and lyrics. Sometimes you discover a whole new side to a song.

There are books and websites devoted to misheard and misunderstood lyrics. Want a laugh? Check it out. But not before you confess to your own misheard lyric discoveries!

I have a list of songs I 'adjusted' lyrics for. It's why I don't sing out loud. That and because I sound like a chicken that's been stepped on.

Oh my gosh! Me too! I do sing out loud though! I love music, I have season tickets to the local theater. My birds sing, "There is nothing like a dame" and "Happy Talk", both from South Pacific.

But, when I sing, my young kids cry and one of my dogs howls! The kids really hate it when I sing in the car! Heck, I don't care! I sing and dance all the time! My 26 year old and his dad just look at each other and laugh and shake their heads when I start! Screw it! It's fun!

Magoo was singing Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett and I heard him sing...

"Looking for my last jigger of salt"..................[laughing]

I looked at him and said, "What? What's a jigger of salt?"

since a jigger is a bar measure.

Yah, I know what a jigger is. I was a bartender at one time. I had to question him. Because why would you want a jigger of salt for a Margarita? And make it your last one at that.

Now...How about Louie Louie? Does anyone know the real words to that one? Remember, that was the dirtiest song around for its time. Everyone had their own version.

Supposedly, these are the true lyrics.....

True enough, but I have seen parties that it would be relevant for. We played a variant of beer pong one evening using margarita's instead of beer, it was a lot of fun. Went through a lot of tequila, but it was a good time.

The funny thing is, when I was in college, we used to sing it "There's a bathroom on the right" (or, depending on the circumstances, "There's a Batman on the right") just to make fun of it. So your friend isn't alone! And when I saw the title of this seed, I had to come read, because I knew exactly what you were talking about.

I just thought of another song my brother's use to use their own words to. Remember "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys?

"Went to a dance, lookin' for romance
Saw Barbara Ann, so i thought i'd take a chance..."

They sang...

"Went to a dance, bulgeing in my pants

Saw Barbara's ass, so I thought I'd take a chance..."

Here's another..............[geez! you guys are making them pop in my head]

Remember "What A Feeling" by Irene Cara from Flashdance?

What a feeling
Bein's believin'
I can have it all
Now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life

We sang...

What a feelin'

Bein's believing

I can have it all

Now I'm dancing for my life

Take your pants down

And make it happen

Pictures come alive

And you can dance right through your life.

The Billy Idol song "Eyes without a Face" has a girl singing the line "Les yeux sans visage."

Not speaking French nor expecting it in the song, I thought it said "Aren't you sorry now?"

My girlfriend thought it said "Let you slurp me now."

I don't really know how she got 'slurp' out of that but ya know, it was hilarious.

rls8r,

"I keep a close watch on this heart of mine.
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep my pants up with a piece of twine.
Because you're mine - please pull the twine."

I find it very, very easy to know you
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit to wanting to see more
Because you're mine, I'll pull the cord.

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
The ruler says, you are a "nine"

You've got a way to keep me on my side
You've got enough, I know that I can hide
For you I know I'd make it slip and slide
Because you're mine, I'd wanna ride

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the twine to tie your wrists up high
Because that's when, I'll ride that "nine".

... I did go back to his article today and HE CALLED ME OUT

I saw that and cracked up.....[laughing]....I'm still laughing just thinking about it.

I started typing a comment about that but backed it out. Only because I really didn't want to get into anymore of his nonsense. Besides, I knew when you saw it you'd take care of business. Which you did. The laughter in your first sentence....I swear I could hear you through my speakers.

I feel for the kid. He's got a lot of maturing to do and I don't think until he grows up and experiences life more, he's going to have a happy one. I really feel bad for his kids if he truly does have custody. He's gonna mess them up if he shares his views about women. And what's he gonna teach them if they are females. EGADS!

I'll go back to his page if it pops up on my tracker but I'm only reading, not commenting. He's too spacey for me. He's not consistent and he's very contradictory. I still wish he would either accept or reject my comment on his page. I hate seeing my "eye" fogged up.

His picture looks like he works out and likes himself a lot... although I would have mistaken him for GAY... or maybe not so mistaken.

I saw your comment on his "ahem" article was not long before mine....

Okay - screen snap. This works differently on different computers. On my Mac, it's shift, alt option, 4. A small target will appear and enable you to "select" a portion or all of what's on your screen, then let go and it literally has taken a digital snapshot of what's on your screen. I use it a LOT, even though I know some sneaky download workarounds.

Any one else want to weigh in with how you do this on a PC?

We all started laughing so hard that the boat was in danger of capsizing. Once we recovered, we corrected her on the mistaken lyric.

There is a song I used to sing in the shower (bathroom walls are great acoustics). It was a Michael Jackson song: "Wannna Be Startin Somethin". I'd be very loud and of course since I figured I could sing because the bathroom walls told me so; I'd sing song at work or anywhere in public. There was this one lyric: "Ma ma sa Ma ma sa ma ma coo sa". He'd repeat it three times and extremely fast. Well, I'd proudly & loudly sing: Mama say don't sell yo moccasin! And of course I repeatedly say it as he did and extremely quickly. I will just simply say, laughter & teasing went on for months.

Trivia tidbit - The title was supposed to be "I Will Be There" until James changed it. James' first adjustment was "Yahweh Be There," and compromised with Yah Mo, leaving interpretation to the listener rather than push the religious theme. There were a few more writers as well, so that was the committee decision.

Mike was NOT happy. (I know this first-hand, if anyone wants verification.)

Coop,

Let me study this thing again for the zillionth time in my life.

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

Ive been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
cause there aint no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see Ive been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
cause there aint no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let the horse run free
cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see Ive been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
cause there aint no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

There! Now everyone can study it with me and come up with their own conclusion.

Horse With No Name....

What's the joke?

Ok. Two guys are in the desert. They are riding a camel, but neither one knows anything about camels. They come up on an oasis, and decide that they all need a drink. So, both guys get off of the camel, and get them a drink. That's when they decide that the camel needs to drink, too.

They lead the camel over to the water, but he just stands there.

One guy looks at the other," You got any ideas on how to make him drink?"

The other guy says."As a matter of fact, I do. I'll hold his head down in the water while you suck on his butt. Maybe that will get some suction going, and he'll get some water."

The other guy says,"Ok. If you think it will work."

So, the first guy puts the camel's head down to the water and tells the second guy to start sucking. After about a minute or two of this, the second guy says< "Pick his head up. I'm sucking mud back here."

I know it's kind of juvenile, but I was about thirteen or so when I heard it. But, you did ask. :)

Bekow are links to songs: White Horse. When I sang it, I thought in essence it was saying don't ride the white horse....ride a black one or a brown one or a palomino. It took me about 2 months before someone told me after laughing so hard at my interpretation of it, that the song was about cocaine. This one is not about the one you all are referring to; but it made me think of this one that I like. Enjoy!!

Rhinestone Cowboy - I swore the lyrics were and "grandpa's coming over the phone" *ahem* If I am not mistaken now that I'm an adult, the lyric would be "offers coming over the phone" Funny how the song makes so much more sense now!

Blinded by The Light - even once I learned it was deuce, I had to look further to find out that it's short for some sort of British car. *Light Bulb* Song makes more sense now, lyrics are forever and ever ingrained in my head the wrong way though, can't change it.

And I don't want to change your life.
But there's a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

Now Im mumblin and Im screamin

I still dont know what Im singin
Were so loud and incoherent
Boy, this oughta bug your parents

Its unintel-ligible
I just cant get it through my skull
Its hard to bargle nawdle zouss(? )
With all these marbles in my mouth
Dont know, dont know, dont know, oh no

Well, we dont sound like madonna
Here we are now, were nirvana
Sing distinctly? we dont wanna
Buy our album, were nirvana
A garage band from seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah

And I forgot the next verse
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheets so hard to find
What are the words? oh, nevermind
Dont know, dont know, dont know, oh no
Dont know, dont know, dont know...

Well, Im yellin and were playin
But I dont know what Im sayin
Whats the message Im conveyin?

My younger sister thought the "Little Red Corvette" was "ba-by come back".

My husband asked me who Jason was one day when "Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls" was on the radio. He thought the line was "don't go Jason Waterfalls".

We had to sing "What A Feeling" from Flashdance in 9th grade chorus. My friend and I were singing it one day at the bus stop and got to the "Take your passion and make it happen" line and our friend says "Oh! I thought it was 'take your pants down and make it happen'! We about died laughing and from then on when we got to that part in rehearsals we'd giggle.

For years i thought the words to this Steve Miller band song were:

The correct lyrics are: Big old jet airliner

I sang it like that till about 5 years ago when, while driving in a car with a friend, he asked what the hell I was singing. When I vocally repeated "Bingo Jed has his light on" he just cracked up laughing and told me what it really said. I felt like such a dork! *blushing*

A commonly related story says that the song's title was originally "In The Garden Of Eden" but at one point in the course of rehearsing and recording, singer Doug Ingle got intoxicated and slurred the words, creating the mondegreen that stuck as the title. However, the liner notes on 'the best of' CD compilation state that drummer Ron Bushy was listening to the track through headphones, and couldn't clearly distinguish what Doug Ingle answered when Ron asked him for the title of the song (which was originally "In-The-Garden-Of-Eden"). An alternate explanation, as given in the liner notes of the 1995 re-release of the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida album, is that Ingle was drunk and/or high when he first told Bushy the title, and Bushy wrote it down. Bushy then showed Ingle what he had written, and the slurred title stuck.

So how do you like them apples. You were singing the original words.

I have been a fan of Metallica since they were a relatively unknown thrash band from California. I never mistook this lyric, but I have a friend who was singing along with the song "One" and the part where it says "Darkness imprisoning me..." he thought it was "Doctor's in visiting me..." and if anyone has seen the video, those lyrics actually do make sense in the context of the story. But I to this day sometimes sing those words just for laughs.

I remember the quilt festival, Dolce. It brought in visitors from all around -- from the wiki page for anyone interested:

Quilt City, USA

On April 25, 1991, the American Quilter's Society located its Museum - MAQS in downtown Paducah. Each spring, during the Dogwood season, quilt enthusiasts from all over the world flock to Paducah for the Society's annual event. The Quilt Show is one of Paducah's largest events of the year and draws large revenue in tourism. Hotels for miles around the city fill up months in advance of the show.

(We lived in Southern Illinois and had friends in Paducah.) It's really a cute little town

And don't you just hate when you buy a CD and there are no lyrics???? Or worse, lyrics are there in some stupid fancy script you cannot read.

Should be a law...all music sold must be accompanied by easy to read lyrics...maybe even in bold print!

There are many artists who won't issue or reveal their lyrics. They prefer to have their fans interpret the songs in their own way. Seal is one that comes to mind.

neenie - another great post, you have such a fun way about you. I can't tell you how many songs I've heard over the years, but I will say, most of them have lyrics I made up. Off hand, can't think of one in particular. My second husband was a real music kinda guy, new the name, lyrics, every musician, instrument they played, year, you name it.....he'd dj for me all the time, and he knew all the words...(benefit of garage bands I guess)lol - anyway, I use to feel embarrassed cause I couldn't understand half the words and I'd make em up as I went, it use to aggravate him...but no matter how many times he tried to correct me....I could never get my version out of my head...lol

Once you make it your own, it's hard to go back.

I could have missed the pain, but I'd have missed the dance.

My memory isn't what it used to be; hopefully I'll remember more during the day today because I raised my kids on classic rock and oldies and they had some really good ones over the years. A few came to mind though.

Remember "Drift Away" by Dobie Gillis? Son-One's went this way:

Give me the Beach Boys and feed my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock-n-roll and drift away

Lucille? No,

You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel

I have no idea where they got that one.

random sample

my lil sis (who was 10 at the time) thought the lyrics to the clash song 'rock the casbah' were 'stuck in the catbox'.

she would walk around the house singing it incessantly, driving me to tears.

Thank you for that one! Catbox! That cracked me up! How about any Led Zeppelin song ever made? They make more sense when you play them backwards! Especially Immigrant Song. There is an entire group of Youtube videos dedicated to it.

"Colitas rising up in the air"..........Little tails rising up in the air........that's the literal (spanish) translation................referring to a California desert flower.....

There are some songs that even when I learn the right lyrics I never sing the right ones and always use the wrong :) funner that way

colitas are little tails when translated directly.... BUT..... there is an extremely fragrant marijuana strain from Northern Cali called Colitas. Its also slang for marijuana roaches or the end buds on a marijuana plant.

Don Henely swears he was refering to desert flowers, but fans of the song, prefer the drug reference....since the song is mainly about drugs.

Why the hell did they stick colitas in there anyway? You want people to sing along, not have to access Wikipedia, for crissake!

You know I listened to that song throughtout my life .... all 42 years, and until this thread.... I never questioned that lyric, never asked what it was... If I did, I don't remember.
