Frequently Misheard Lyrics
Maybe you've heard of , or seen , the book "'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy" , about "Frequently" misheard lyrics , when maybe a half - dozen or so entries were ever heard that way by anyone other than the compilers , such as :
"There's a bathroom on the right" ("There's a bad moon on the rise").
When I was in Junior High , "Miss You" was a big deal , even though I was about the only kid in my school who even liked The Stones.
"I've been haulin' ass along" - ("I've Been Holdin' out so long") ("ASS" was still a big deal in the 70's). The band , Le Roux, were briefly popular with "I'm Addicted". "I 'm a dickhead , baby" ( "I'm addicted , baby."). There's no way they did'nt plan it that way. And , one could write a book on the Ramones (I already wrote an article...). "They're formin' in a straight ine , they're goin' to the car wash." ("They're formin' in a straight line , they're goin' thru a tight line." ) ("Blitzkrieg Bop."). "Shot in Vietnam , I'm doin' fine" ("Shock treatment , I'm doing fine.") ("Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment"). "I Can't Give You Anything" ("You think I'm kind of cute , but , who's gonna bring home the ludes ?" ("...But , who'e gonna bring home the loot ?") . "Hey , hey , hey , what is it on the TV ?" ("HEY , HEY , HEY , WHY IS IT ALWAYS THIS WAY ?". ) "Why Is It Always This Way?". Then there's ....."Final Solution" , Pere Ubu . "Don't need a cure , and I don't need a cure , and I don't need a cure , I need a final solution." ("Don't need a car , and I don't need a job , and I don't need a girl , I need a final solution"....That said it all , for me , when I first heard it in my teens. Even if I was wrong.). Sex Pistols "New York" "An imitation made of Cheech and Chong." ("..Cheese and chalk.") "You porno faggots" ("You poor little faggots".). X - "Universal Corner" "Scream in agony" ( "Screaming "Magdalene"). "Nausea" "Take this , this is all they had." ("Take the scissors , saw the head."). "Johnny Hit and Run Pauline" "He bought a sterilized light bulb" ("Sterilized Hypo" - That was'nt mine , that was on a lyric sheet for a band I was auditioning with.). You get the idea , let's see some of yours.

Whiskey in the jar is rapier JB, not razor.
John Battles said:"Hot and Nasty" , Black Oak Arkansas - "They call me hot and nasty , they call me Mr. Pansy.". Actual lyric - "They call me Mr. Fancy".
Johnny Thunders (And Walter Lure's Heroes) "Too Much Junkie Business"
"Your the coolest thing in town , with your face flat on the ground. Friends went through your pockets as the coffee went down...."
"...AS THE COFFIN WENT DOWN".
( I thought they were saying "Coffee" in reference the suposedly surefire way to revive an OD victim by pouring hot coffee down their throat , which , reportedly , is how original Dolls Drummer, Billy Murcia , died. ).
"Honky Tonk Women" , YOU KNOW WHO. "I laid a Divorcee in New York City..."
"I LATER DID THE SAME IN NEW YORK CITY....".
"Whiskey In The Jar" (Trad.) - Dubliners , Thin Lizzy.
" I first produced me pistol , and then produced my rapier."
"And then produced my razor.''.
David Bowie - "Hang on To Yourself" - "And we move around like tigers on vaseline"
"If you like f*gg*ts and vaseline". I'm sorry , that IS what it sounded like until I saw the actual lyrics.
"All The Madmen "- "My libido split on me , give me some good old lobotomy."
"And The Beatles split on me...." (Very topical for 1971.)
"Ziggy Stardust" - "He could lick 'em by smiling....." . Do I have to say it?
"The kids were just crass" "The kids were just crap.".
"Suffragette City" "AW , DOOGIE , DON'T CRASH HERE"
"There's usually dope 'round here....".
"Width of a Circle" 'To which he laughed insane "Kahlil Gibran".
"To which he laughed and said "God's will , children."

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. i THOUGHT , THOUGH , THAT IT WAS "KNOW A SPOT AND WE LIKE IT A LOT ON THE WEEKEND....". Then , they go to the nightspot and get turned away for not having ties on. Of course , Eddie's new Geordie friend , SID , told the security guy "Oi ! 'I've gorra tie , have'n I? It's in me RING , yeh daft bastard ! Yeh wanna PULL on it , or what?! ".

Mark George , WHA' , Y'MEAN , SOUTH OF LONDON?
I've been too busy to just look it up , but , for eons (That's aoens in Yankeese.)
I thought Jagger was saying " I'm gonna hit and run rape her in anger"
(In "Midnight Rambler" ) , which , I thought , even for him , was misogynistic as Hell , though , obviously , not coming from the First Person P.O.V. , but from a role played in the song. But , then , it occured to me , he was probably saying "Rapier" , as he's reading off a list of weapons ( " Knife - sharpened tipee - toe , shoot 'em dead....cloak and dagger....stick my knife right down your throat".).I also thought an audience member was saying "CODS , HAM !!! CODS , HAM !!!" , BUT , Rock'n'Roll fucks upyour ears.

Are you trying to imply Micks not from the deep south JB? The ever changing Jagger voice has always amused me, from well spoken middle class young man to naughty cockney to cringe inducing faux American accent. Still, when you've got his money!

No , it's true. Mick is from The Deep South . He led the big migration to England that was later followed by The Walker Bros. , Jimi Hendrix , Suzi Quatro and Sparks. He had to take a course in Assimilation , though when he attended The London College of Economics. IN OTHER WORDS , WHEREAS AN ENGLISH PERSON MIGHT SAY "BANGERS AND MASH , PLEASE" , MICK WOULD HAVE SAID , "A FULL SLAB , WITH LOUISIANA HOT SAUCE , CORNBREAD , AND WHAT SIDES HAVE YOU GOT?".
"TEA , milk and sugar , with lemon , if you will". "Sweet tea , ma'am"" I SAY , I DON'T ARF FANCY HER !" "Gaaahhh damn ! She's hot as July Jam".
" I quite like Muddy Waters on Chess Records , me. It'd be an HONOUR to share the same stage with him , one day....AHHHHH. As if that'll ever happen."
"Muddy Waters? I filled his car up with Regular , once. Purdy good guy to shoot the shit with.".

Thank you , M.G. - A "SLAB" OR "FULL SLAB" IS A FULL ORDER OF PORK OR BEEF RIBS. A Half - slab , half of the same.....
I'm surprised they have'nt mentioned that on that program. If they REALLY wanted to see "Man vs. Food" , they should have see me tear away at a full slab at Rendezvous Barbecue in Memphis (Where , just by chance , The Stones have been known to get their 'cue on.).
