[net.music] Modern mangled lyrics

devine@asgb.UUCP (Robert J. Devine) (01/20/86)

  If you get yourself in the right frame of mind, you can get an
alternate version of Stevie Wonder's current hit by substituting
the line "... apartheid lover" for "... a part time lover".

ebm@ingres.ARPA (Grady Toss) (01/21/86)

The recent cover of Hall & Oates "Everywhere You Go" has the lyric
"Everywhere you go, you take a piece of meat with you."  No, wait,
that's, er,  _ME_, isn't it?

Well mah frenz, Dee Tom has comb
Reds di-roop an hab sum phone
Tro away dee whirl to be dumb
Let da mules zik blay on (blay on, blay on, blay on)
Ebry badda seen, ebry badda Dan's
Luge yourself in wild Romans
We got to --
 Potty
 Fee Ester
 Ca-rumble
 For Eva
Comb on and sin gay lawn
All Gnat Lawn
All Gnat Lawn
All Gnat Lawn
All Gnat Lawn

Don't blame me; this is what it sounds like on a cheap AM-only car radio
between its (lack of) quality and Lionel Ritchie's "enunciation."

[I shall never fergetit...]

Then of course Stanley Holloway. When he was playing Alfred Doolittle in
My Fair Lady, he always referred to the last song as 'I've Thrown a Custard in
her Face'.
