and all this time I thought I was making up my own words to those lines . . . What about "Blinded by the Light? wrapped up like (what?) another runner in the night . . . And she was blinded by the light Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night I think . . . still makes no sense to me. |

*laughing here* I tried to find an old thread I started once about song lyrics--I couldn't find it, so I guess I'll tell my story AGAIN. (sorry, heh) But I had misunderstood the lyrics to "On the Cover of the Rolling Stone" for years. The part where they sing, "I got a creepy old lady named Cocaine Katie who embroiders on my jeans" I heard: "I gotta kinky old lady named Cold Creme Katie..." *shudder* The visuals, I tell ya, they make for some horrid nightmares! grinning |

The word for mis-heard lyrics is 'mondegreen,' deriving from a 50's folk song. The lyrics "They slew the Earl of Morray and laid him on the green," where commonly mis-heard as 'They slew the Earl of Morray and Lady Mondegreen.' and there is your useless fact for the day |

My husband taught his buddy who loves to sing the lyrics to a song buddy never heard before - wrong, just for a laugh. The guy spent weeks bellowing out the words at our trailer - entertaining neighbors and dozens of relatives. EVERYONE knew the words were wrong 'cept him. It was a good laugh. |
