I used to embarrass my daughter when she was around 14. I had a two hour commute so I used to memorize some of her music. When her GF's were in the car, I would sing along to the Spice Girls and watch her and her friends expressions...lol
Best. Father. Ever.
You should do this TODAY she will love you for it!...don't have a daughter but I cannot wait to embarrass my 13-year-old niece like this...got it planned already! hahah
I used to get down to baby got back in front of my kids friends whenever my kids would piss me off... best punishment EVER
I may not be a parent but I think it's basically required to embarrass your children at this point, Lol.
Just keep in mind....some kids turn into serious terrorists/killers due to this form of hazing and "embarrassment harassment".
Tread lightly.
* Guy breaks up with his girl * : “I can see clearly now. Lorraine is gone.”🎶
* Same guy, regretful, years later *: “I wanna know, have you ever seen Lorraine?” 🎶
That's hiliarious! 🤣
is that really what he says in the song? I thought he was saying "I can see clearly now the rain is gone". it sounds more like this and this makes more sense.
I can see all popsicles in my way . . .
@@sirensatnight4463 I can see clearly now the parade has gone. I can see all the floats in my way.
Keith Whitley- “I’m no stranger to Lorraine”
Seeing Kevin Farley up there sends chills up my spine. He looks just like his brother. RIP Chris.
Honestly I had no clue Chris even had a brother, I thought it was a cheap attempt to get clicks. But yes looks so much like him.
Sounds like him too 😢
Same body movements too
Coast to coast Chris Farley to Kevin, big western men..
Yeah? So did Gallagher’s brother. How did that turn out?
My favorite misheard lyrics include Johnny Rivers, "Secret Asian Man" and the Creedence classic, "There's a bathroom... on the right."
“I’ll get over you, I know I will. I’ll pretend my shit’s not stinkin’…”🎶
25 yrs later I realized they were saying “ship’s not sinking”. 🙄
Oh that's bad..LOL
Omg...i am dying over here, i think your lyrics are waaaay better!😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Lol your way is more true to life.
I spat out my wine reading this! Red wine. Fortunately I snorted it up my nose and swallowed most of the nasty backwash and no red wine hit the carpet! Too funny!
I had a buddy who thought “two tickets to paradise” was “two chickens to paralyze”. Love Eddie’s music but I never heard that song the same again!
🤣😂🤣
Eddy Money was the kind of guy who probably get up on stage and actually sing that just for fun if you told him that's what your friend thought he was singing 😅
@@beatlesrgear - He put on a great show and seemed like a good guy. I saw him on the Life for the Taking tour about 1982ish in Las Cruces NM. Even went back stage after the show. I saw another video describing him as stingy and cheap but I didn’t pick up on that in the few minutes we talked with him. This show was on a holiday weekend and they didn’t sell a lot of tickets, Eddie came out and asked the crowd if they wait a few minutes to reset the stage for a party. They turned up the lights and moved the stage to the end of the venue, right up near the hand rail of the upper seating and everybody seemed to have a great time, including Eddie and the band, they were really “on” that night. I don’t remember his name but they had the left handed guy on guitar that night, excellent player and killer tone. All the songs that night had a good, rockin edge to them, Life for the Taking was even longer than the album version and was particularly hard. Gimme some Water, Can’t Keep a good Man Down… Good memory!
My buddy screwin up the lyrics was a few years later. When we corrected him he said “ yea, I always thought that was a messed up thing to write a song about”. Lol
😂😂😂😂😂
This made me laugh harder than the video
🤣🤣🤣 This reminded me of an interview with Ozzy Osbourne, where he said : "I used to think Purple Haze by Jimmi Hendrix went 🎶 Excuse me, while I kiss this guy🎶 😂🤣😂🤣
2:32
That “every song from 1950” bit made me think of way more examples than I was expecting.
He was actually singing the beginning to Blue Moon. But many other songs from that era have that sound.
Popular music is most often basic because not everyone has the ears of a musician. I'll never forget one time my "prog/artrock" band opened up for a top 40 cover band, and the audience consisted of about 30 people who came to see them, plus our two roadies. After each of our songs there was a smattering of polite clapping, but the stomping and cheering from the headline band backstage drowned out the audience.🤣😂🤣
This guy made me feel amazing.
I am not an American and I was beating myself very hard for not understanding the lyrics and it turned out many native speakers cannot understand the lyrics too.
Thank you.
Many of aren't good at hearing lyrics correctly. I haven't heard lyrics correctly since 1997.
Yeah, well don't beat yourself up over the (British) Rolling Stones, either. Jagger was born with marbles in his mouth.
Salt water under the fridge.
"Slash her tires and move on." 🤣🤣🤣

I remember my grandfather complaining about my music being so repetitive. He wasn't real happy when I pointed out the chorus to one of his favourite songs was 'I'm going to leave old Durham town. I'm going to leave old Durham town. I'm going to leave old Durham town, and that leavin's really getting me down." Apparently that was different.
Every blues song sounds like the singer has short term memory loss.
ALWAYS IS.
😂😂😂
Lol, it always is certainly different, no apparently about it.
Cool! My mind sang "And the leavin's really getting me down".
I was visiting my daughter in Utah when the hokey-pokey lyricist passed away. There was a Mormon church across the street. I was sitting on the porch reading, enjoying the day when my two dozen identical vehicles pulled into the parking lot
Out of each vehicle came six people, all boys from one half, all girls from the other, they all stood quietly for a few moments and then out of the church building came the hokey-pokey song over a loudspeaker
They all danced the hokey-pokey, bowed to each other afterwards, went to their respective vehicles, got in them and drove off.
I wish I’d had my phone with me and could’ve recorded that. It was kind of mind blowing.
My husband thought Jim Croce was singing “ meaner than a drunk outlaw” it was “ meaner than a junk yard dog”
That's actually a great lyric!
Those both work!😊
When I was a teen in the early 80’s, my grandmother loved my music! Mostly The Bee Gees were her favorites. Every time I played their music she would get up and dance!
My daddy absolutely loves The Bee Gees. I love them too. I was born in 87 lol my Mama was a teen when she had me.
That’s a cool grandma!
Love love love The Bee Gees. In fact I have their greatest hits in the cd player in my car right now. 😄❤️🎶
My grandma lived Turn The Page by Bob Seger.
My grandmother was deaf
No one can convince me that the lyrics aren’t “Secret Asian man.”
I so have to tell my S.O. that one. 😂
In You Only LIve Twice that's what he became!
They are on the Jackie Chan movie …forget the name…The Neighbor I think or something like it
Btw. He played a Secret Asian Man, lol!
I actually used to think it was "Secret Aging Man"!
Hearing your five-year-old daughter in the back seat jamming to Aretha singing "we going riding on the freeway of love in a pink-eye-hat."😂
From a similar site about hard to hear lyrics, someone wrote that growing up, he always thought Billy Joel's song,"We didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning." was actually "We didn't start the fire. It was always burning, said the worst attorney." That one hit my funny bone and I couldn't stop laughing. That would be an awful defense against an arson charge.
All Pearl Jam songs sound like my drunk uncle singing in the garage 😂
Evenflow!!!
I'm certain I heard a shabalabadingdong in there fkn somewhere....
I've been noticing that a disturbing number of singers lately have been sounding like Hootie and the Blowfish--which means they sing like they have a clothespin on their nose.
@@rorschach4391 While i agree about Vetter's enunciation, the song you mention is serious. There's nothing stupid about homeless people with mental problems.
The tunes sound like he is making them up as he is singing them.
Peter Gabriel’s song “big time,” helped me so much. My little boy thought it said “pee time” so he would run to the toilet to go. Then it became poop time and he was potty trained! 😜😂🤣
You are brilliant! I’d like to time travel back about 12 years for my grandson and try that! I wish you the very best!
You got to fight...for your right...to potty!
Don't get too excited.
That's the same kid picking out your nursing home.
It's even got encouraging lines like "I'm on my way I'm making it.."🤣🤣
@@fluidikons 😂😂😂
Gosh the family resemblance is strong. I imagine Chris would be enjoying this show immensely. Keep us laughing Kevin ❤️
"Sweet Child Of Mine" ~ "...and pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by."
When does thunder do ANYTHING quietly, Axl?
That’s on you. Axl was praying for a miracle.
Ripped off from a song by an Australian band. Look it up on here. Sweet child of mine original.
Australian Crawl. Thats the bands name.
It O' mine captain 😂😂
You mean, that memory of wishing as a scared child that the scary thing would go away was.... IRRATIONAL??? I think you've blown this case wide open
" i'd catch a grenade for her " "prove it son" ...

My friend on a road trip with me: "I been through the desert on a horse with no legs..."
Lol, that would have been a whole different kind of hell😬😂😂
Oh my word. I loved America. But no legs. How did they get through the desert? Lol I would pay money to know what he was picturing in his mind !
I've heard of a horseless carriage, but a legless horse.....
😂😂😂
🤣
To this day I still hear “I’m not talkin’ ‘bout the linen…” in the song “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight” by England Dan and John Ford Coley. 😂
Goddamn, I always thought that too.
It took me 30 years to figure out what he was saying.
And I don't want to change your lights
I'm not talking about Millennium...
🤦♀️🎶 Blinded by the light, Wake up, Revolution, It's a Mormon in the night 🎶 😂
My face hurts from laughing about these song lyrics! 😂
I'm laughing so hard not only are tears running down my face but my nose is running too!
Never knew that could happen!
@@grandmalovesmebest same. Even if on older songs, I actually know the lyrics. I've heard so many sing them wrong. Bet they suck if do karaoke. Lol
They were all amazing.
It's called laugh face🤣😂
I saw a T shirt that said : what if the hokey pokey was really what it's all about .
AT 10:50, I SPIT OUT MY COFFEE!🤣
the thought of my wife twerking in front of the kids and grandkids... GOLD!
The iconic resemblance to his brother is so scary he looks identical but yet calm unlike Chris....... Legend
My oldest daughter used to sing, “Like a silly can holder” instead of “Like the ceiling can’t hold us.” 😂 My middle daughter sang, “You can call me green bean” for “You can call me queen bee” on Royals by Lourdes. The best was best friend, in HS we loved Metallica and we were cruising around one night when she belted out, “Nupa joined this earth and quickly he said dude!” From the song The Forgiven.” The actual lyrics are, “New blood joins this earth, and quickly he’s subdued.” 😂😂😂
12:35- that is the best and funniest Michael McDonald impression I've ever seen.
The comedian missed an opportunity there b/c Michael McDonald ALSO does background vocals on the Steely Dan song "Peg"
It's the ONLY Michael McDonald impression I've ever seen.
VH1 used to have programs full of interview clips by C-listers and D-listers trying to move up the career ladder by showing the world how funny and clever they were. One such program had someone goofing on Michael McDonald by comparing him to Charlie Brown's parents. It might be this same guy for all I remember.
He did a better job of pronouncing the words than the original
Lady Falone. Lady Falone.
I’ve got two chickens, a pair of dice! 🎶
Mondegreens (misheard lyrics) are priceless!
I was 9 years old when “Love will keep us together” by Captain & Tenille was released.
I always thought the lyrics,
“ Young and beautiful
But someday your looks will be gone!
When the others turn you off, Who'll be turning you on?,” was “But someday your lips will be gone!” 😂😂😂
To this day that’s how I still sing it 😁
I remember finding a website of misheard lyrics that people would send in, and the one that always stayed in my head was that classic Aerosmith song… “Lovin’ an alligator!”
Was it kissthisguy? I loved that website.
slow talking Walter, the Fire Engine Guy
The Beatle’s “She’s go a chicken to ride”
Kenny Rogers, You picked a fine time to leave me you seal. Abba, Dancing Queen young and sweet only seven teeth.
"Only seven teeth." That's HYSTERICAL! '🤣
@@robadams5799. ‘you seal” is pretty funny too. Isn’t hat song called Lucille?
400 children with a crop in the field.....
Does he really say "you seal"? The hell does that mean?
Picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel....
I remember years ago I had a friend singing Amadeus in the car. Her chorus lyrics were 'Hot potatoes, hot potatoes' Try unhearing that for the rest of your life.
Oh that is rough. I had a friend who would sing out Are you bringing in the shives to Steely Dan's Reeling in the Years. I understand your pain.
I CACKLED, I LOVE MONDEGREENS! XD
My dumbass used to think that Nirvana sang:
*Ugly mask on a banana*
*A potato in a Speedo*
I was a strange kid. 😂
I was also a huge fan of Wolfgang Hot Potatoes Mozart as a kid. Rock me, Hot Potatoes!
OMG! You guys are KILLING ME! I am trying SO HARD right now not to laugh too loud! My other half is sleeping - has to work tomorrow and I’m retired. I’m always up late watching comedy on CZcams but the messed up lyrics in this one is just killing me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Someone should work this Neil Diamond lyric into one of these routines:
"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
OK, if you're expecting a chair to hear your existential cry you need to back off and wait 'till you come down.
Everyone is hilarious. But, Brad Upton is just straight up GENIUS!😂
Yep! Watched and rewatched his part :)))
I love Brad Upton, should be a lot more popular he deserves it. Never a dull moment listening to his shows!
Yes He Is! ❤😂❤
Been waiting 2 years since I saw this fir him to visit the Bay Area
Weird Al made a career from doing this.
Weird Al is a God among men when it comes to music comedy.
Weird Al is a genius. 🙏
Yes!!! Weird Al forever!
My fave!
That's different because he's intentionally funny. 😀
My dad used to offer to drive me to school and then he'd roll down the window and sing loudly while I sank to the floor with embarrassment!
That's good parenting
Wow , you got a ride to school ? That must of been nice in the bad weather . A few kids I went to school with didn't even know who their dad was.
You sound like a very lucky person Karen . You should call your dad and tell him thanks
My niece came home from church one Sunday and I asked her what she did and how it went...she said her favorite part is when they were singing...I asked what song...she replied: "Gladly, the cross-eyed bear"! Made Jesus grin, no doubt!
When I was a kid and we’d confess our sins in church and say “I am heartily sorry for them” I always thought we were saying “I am hardly sorry for them.” XD gives it quite a different meaning! Pretty sure Jesus thought it was adorable.
This comment made my year.
@@kobayashi.official Oh my goodness! I would say something similar "Oh my God, I'm partly sorry...."! So funny!
That's an old one.
I thought there was a line in 'He who would true valour see', was 'He first avowed in tent, to be pilgrim.' It gave me an image of a man who turned a hiking and camping holiday, into a pilgrimage. The 23rd psalm confused me. Why were we singing about not wanting the Lord my Shepherd?
" You're getting ahead of me ma'am "
Laugh my arse off .
14:20 Shockingly accurate Eddie Vedder impression right here.
Owen Benjamin does a great Eddie Vedder as well
I know and its so true
My brother used to think Journey was singing "So now I've come to you, with broken arms", until I explained it was "with open arms."
And I used to honestly think that Elton John was singing "hold me closer, Tony Danza", until I learned it was actually Tiny Dancer.
Tiny Dancer was a cover up. He WAS singing Tony Danza.
Oh, that's too funny!
With Elton he probably wished it was Tony Danza
Watch the head lice on the highway
I thought a line in Rocket Man was "turning out abuse for near as long"
This is one of the funniest videos, 🤣 I give them all a 9! I watched this alone, and haven't laughed like this in Years! Thank you all, for relieving stress!! 😂
Dogs in the front porch
Chickens in the yard

The hokey pokey joke was the darkest clean joke I've heard until the next one
I died laughing before he even started because I immediately knew where it was going. 🤣🤣🤣
I can only imagine what it was like when they were trying to put the guy in the casket in the first place!
I was driving with my nephew one day and heard him singing, "I'm blue, I believe I'm a guy, I believe I'm a guy, I believe I'm a guy."
He not wrong it do sound like that 😂
🤷♂️
Song?

If i was green I would die
I had friend in High School who thought Paul Simon's song "Kodachrome" lyric, "I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph" was actually "I got a knife in grandma, I love to take a photograph".
Walk this Way = Walter Sway
"We have identified the body but we're not sure who the name is" well done man well done
My grand daughters watched a movie STRANGE MAGIC. I sang along to every single song. The oldest looked at me and asked, "how many times you watch this movie?" She doesn't know it's songs I listened to when I was a teenager!
I loved when a band my kids liked covered an old song and then they were amazed my wife and I would sing along...but then there were songs WE thought were new back in the day that were also just covers
Reminds me of when my eldest niece was about 10 or so, I was driving her somewhere and Styx's Mr. Roboto came on the radio. I started singing along and her eyes went wide as saucers and she exclaimed, "How do you know this song!" Honey, it was the first cassette tape of my own that I bought -- when it came out!
@@angelbear_ogl
Combined, my sister and I had England Dan and John Ford Coley singing "I'm not talking 'bout the linen, and I don't want to change your life, but there's a warm wind blowing the stars around, and I'd really love to see you tonight."
I thought it was the Stars are out
Oh yes, I remember that linen!
@@elisabethseaton6521 It is. That was my contribution to the mess we made.
That's exactly the way I sang it!! This made me laugh so hard!
Oh man, one night watching "The Long Kiss Goodnight" I paused when the song started to tell my husband the wrong lyrics I used to sing. And them Samuel did the same! I laughed so hard!
Lol my mother always thought they were singing bow-legged woman 😆😆🤣🤣
Your mother thought who were singing "bow-legged woman"?
I love the parallels drawn between country and hip hop. The lyrics run down a laundry list of objects and terms that sell records and they all have to include those in their song to make a hit.
As a child I was a little disturbed whenever I'd hear Kenny Rogers sing, "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille. With four hungry children and a crotch that won't heal..."
For me it was always 400 children
🤣😂
I’m dying that explains so much 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣
Four hundred children that crapped in the field.
"Someone left the cake out in the rain. I don't think that I can take it, 'cause it took so long to bake it, and I'll never have that recipe again !" Ahhh the 70's cocaine fueled disco lyrics.
I remember singing that when it first came out. My husband said I must have misunderstood the lyrics.😡
Arthur Treacher once recited that entire song as a poem on the Merv Griffin Show and I laughed until I hurt all over! (think I just dated myself)
The original was Richard Harris, 1968.
Sometimes lyrics are just meant to paint a vivid picture of a scene in your head. It doesn’t always have to make sense
❤ actual lyrics lol😂
"whatever you do, I'll be two steps behind" back when you could stalk all day. good times. thank you Def Leppard
"Every move you make, every step you take -- I'll be watching you!" From "The Police" haha!!
On my way home from work the female DJ came on and she could barely breathe she was laughing so hard. She said someone called in and requested “There’s a Bathroom on the Right” instead of “There’s a Bad Moon on the Rise.” To this day when I hear the song I sing there’s a bathroom on the right😂
Of course... KDM
OMG - I will never get that out of my head
That IS the name of the song. I was a teenager when that came out, and we never got to look up the lyrics on the internet. So what they said is what it was.
Funny thing is there is a live album where John Fogerty actually sings the line 'there's a bathroom on the right'
Reminded me of the group National Velvet and their song "Sex Gorilla". The song was actually called Sasparilla, but when they were starting to become popular at night clubs & smaller venues they kept getting requests shouted to do "Sex Gorilla" so they just went with taht and changed the title of the song and just said sex gorilla in stead of sasparilla.
True Story - There was a Peter, Paul and Mary show. I asked my son to come listen. I told him they were the conscience of our country. Their first song was about a blue frog. He did not say anything but he chuckled a little and gave THAT LOOK. LOL
I had CD I recorded once by the Mamas and Papas. My daughter seen it and asked " who are the Mammas and Pappaws ?😂😂
Sooo... when they got to "Puff, the Magic Dragon"? KDM 🤣
That doobie brothers impression was spot on 🤣
"Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains.... Growing Like A Weed"... I loved this video thank you for sharing
My son, aged 4, had a slight speech impediment and I will never forget hearing him innocently sing "play dat futtin musit white boy".
🤣🤣🤣
*America*
Slight? 😂
@@luigi-time5004 Weebs
I think at 4 pretty much everyone sounds like they have a slight speech impediment...it's called childhood 😆
“Big Ole Chair that I Lie On”.. 🤣
“Big Ole Jet Airliner, don’t carry me too far away.” 45 years and my friends own lyrics still crack me up today! 🥰
I used to sing “Bingo, Jed, and Lionel”….someone else I know sang “bingo Jed had a light on.” 😂
Reminds me of the Japanese dude requesting a song on the radio. He wanted the song "Yamaha Yamaso"
And after multiple attempts to make the DJ understand his request, he hummed the tune and turns out it was supposed to be the song with the correct words being "You're my heart, You're my soul"
And yesss, that's right! that's the song. Now sing along if you like it.
I really wanted to hear more from that first comedian
Kevin Farley.
Who? Chris Farley's brother? Lmfao he has a name you know
That B.O.B. "Nothin' on You" line: "Baby you the whole package plus you pay your taxes".... Classic.
Missheard Lyrics are the greatest thing Pop Music is giving us. In Germany we are often referring to those type of songs as "Agathe Bauer" songs, which has its origin to that Snap! song "the Power" from 1989 where you always hear that shout "I GOT THE POWA!" but someone somewhere heard the name"Agathe Bauer!" instead. And so the whole thing basically became the name for a genre of missheard lyrics. I even recall someone mentioning he heard in Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall pt.2" the line "the dogs are handsome in the classroom" instead of "no dark sarcasm in the classroom".
I always heard “no doctor has them in the classroom”
There's a website dedicated to misheard lyrics: "kissthisguy". (Based on whats-is-pickle's "Kiss the sky", misheard to "kiss this guy")
Up until two years ago I thought the lyrics were "all the boys think she's a spaz, she's got Betty Davis eyes"
"I wanna reach out and grab you Jay-neee, I know what love ay-is" Dying lol.
I grew up listening to the classic 'Caribou Queen' by Billy Ocean, celebrating the great migrations over the tundra.
Right? It doesn't sound like he's singing "Carribean" at all!
I always thought that Michael McDonald song "Ya Mo B There" was actually "Jaimoe Be There", an homage to that awesome drummer from The Allman Brothers Band.
😂😂😂😂
Knew a girl in 1980ish when Rupert Holmes's, "Escape", aka (The Pina Colada Song) came out. We were in Jr. High so about 13-14 years old.
She swore it said, "If you like beef enchiladas" LMAO still to this day at 55.
It really is, "Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night."😁
“And he says- SHE GOT A BIG BOOTY, so I call her BIG BOOTY..”😂😂
Had a blast with my girls once playing videos to 80’s songs and singing loudly to them… starting with You Spin Me Around & Shiny Happy People! 😂
Bright and shining.
🎶You spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby, round round round round 🎶
@@Boyviete06 I was gonna say that!
"I don't think Springsteen liked our Blinded by the Light, 'cos we sang 'wrapped up like a douche', and it wasn't written like that and I screwed it up completely. It sounded like 'douche' instead of 'deuce', 'cos of the technical process - a faulty azimuth due to tape-head angles, and it meant we couldn't remix it.
Warners in America said, 'You've got to change 'douche', 'cos the Southern Bible belt radio stations think it's about a vaginal douche, and they have problems with body parts down there.' We tried to change it to 'deuce' but then the rest of the track sounded horrible, so we had to leave it. We just said, 'If it's not a hit, it's not.'
But in the end, it was No.1 in America, and so many people came up to us after and said, 'You know why it made No. 1?... Everyone was talking about whether it was deuce or douche.' Apparently Springsteen thought we'd done it deliberately, which we hadn't, so if I ever saw him I'd avoid him and cringe away like a frightened little boy."
- Manfred Mann, Record Collector interview (August 2006)
I was with a professional musician for 5 years and it made him crazy every time that song came on. He was " douche? Wrapped up like a DOUCHE???? What the heck does that even mean????" Sadly he passed away before it dawned on me it was a deuce. You have no idea how many times I have wished I could tell him nooo its was deuce like a coup !! He helped me with so many Elton and Beatles songs and introduced me to music I had never heard. I knew loads of old songs from 40s swing to 80s and everything in between. But he pulled some gems out from deep cuts on albums and gave me some new songs to love.
My wife thought "I Got My Mind Set On You" by George Harrison said "Back Up, I Might Sit On You." 🤔
When the guy was talking about B.O.B.'s part in the Bruno Mars sing, I thought he was going to say something about the fact that B.O.B. sounds like he's singing "Nuttin' on you" instead of "Nothin' on you" 😆
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought he said "wrapped up like a dousche" lmao.
Bruce springsteen wrote that song and he still hasn't forgiven them for mispronouncing the lyrics
That's always how I sing it 😂
I love the song "A Horse with No Name" by America, but this.... "In the desert you can remember your name, because there ain't no one for to give you no pain"
La, La, La La La La….
13:05 What's even more hilarious is the guitarist for the Doobie Brothers was one of the original guitarists for Steely Dan before that, and he recommended the backup singer from Steely Dan who sang backups on that part, to be hired as the lead singer for the Doobie Brothers.🤣 I doubt this guy even knew that, but called it spot on anyway. He can't remember lyrics, but he remembers the sound.
Awesome collection - great comics, on point, funny, smart and clean!
My wife thought Golden Earring's Radar Love was actually "Red Hot Love".
Oh and, I used to, as a kid, think that B.T.O.'s song Taking Care Of Business was.. "Taking Care Of Biscuits"
Me too, years and years I thought that....been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel lol.
13:26 "I think they had the Doobie Brothers in the middle"
Kind of, yeah. Michael McDonald joined the Doobie Brothers in 1975 and also sang backup on several Steely Dan songs, including "Peg."
This is your best work yet. Thank you for the laugh
20:25 Absolutely the nicest Figured Maple guitar top I've ever seen on video !! "I can see clearly now, Lorraine is gone" cracked me up ! Thank you, Guitar Man, Jason Love.
My parents would always play their music when me and my sisters were little and my dad was smart, he didn't want us learning the real lyrics to some songs so he would make a point to sing over the song some made-up lyrics so we would get them into our heads and not think anything otherwise. For example - Billy Idol, instead of "flesh for fantasy" he would say "flesh technology" and we would just laugh and sing that. I know the lyrics and what he said didn't quite match up but it didn't matter, we wouldn't question it much. To this day, I know it's flesh for fantasy but I still say flesh technology.
This is so true! Many songs,even some considered classics don't make sense if you analyze the lyrics
I always got teary eyed when I would hear " I'm going to take you out in the corn field and kiss you between the ears " and my all-time favorite " if my nose was running money I'd blow it all on you" ..... but itsnot
I laughed so hard , I started to cry - this is hilarious
Not a song, but a prayer. When my mum was very young, little hands clasped together. " And lead us on the path of bright chestnuts" ☺️
Reverse that for Christmas and we have righteousness roasting on an open fire...well Bible said it was the unrighteous getting roasted...
Glad Christmas is over already and by next year I will have forgotten this comment 😊
There's always "'Gladly' the Cross-eyed Bear."
@@Kaaukuu English comic strip character has a teddy called Gladly the cross-eyed bear.
"Who put the bomp" by Barry Mann (1961) is probably one of the songs
from the era that actually got self irony about its nonsensical lyrics.
I love receiving a video from left field and I have to watch it all. This is hilarious! 😅
Miranda Lamberts Fastest girl in town has a line that goes "ain’t your baby." My boyfriend & I had been listening to this song at our local line dancing place for a year in 2013 to 2014 when out of the blue he goes "oh that’s the lyrics. I thought it was ate your baby." Now that’s all I hear when that song pops up.
The guy drawing parallels between modern music and kids songs was really clever 🤣
My fave part of this by far
I DO actually know those lyrics no one does:
"Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night"
A deuce is an old slang term for a two seater car -- a roadster.
I was sure it had something to do with douche. Part of the reason I avoided looking it up for ages. I wasnt sure i wanted to know
@@melanietoth1376 Yeah, it really does sound a lot like that.
I always thought it was a douche ........
More precisely, a "deuce" is a 1932 Ford coupe with a V8 - deuce being for the year, not doors. This was a very popular car during the hot rod era.
Oh I thought a deuce was a turd. And a runner in the night is when you got food poisoning and you're running to the toilet.
An old friend of mine used to sing the lyrics to "We got the beat" by the Go-Go's as "We got big feet" and I, and now you, will never hear it the same again. You're welcome.
This was the only song my high school band could play. No lie. My friend and I used to sing "my dogs in heat my dog's in heat Yeah! My dog's in heat!"😂😂
23:32 i know the lyrics to that song for real.
Its "blinded by the light, reved up like a duce another runner in the night."
The second half was all slang for a popular car at the time.
I busted out on how the last guy says he doesn't know if he would be with his wife if he knew about her being lyrically challeneged, and that it was so shocking! Lmao! Relatable!
I couldn't be with a someone whose spelling was shocking; it's challenged :)
@@irielion3748 was that a joke they said?
@@julianneedsblood7091 I think he was trying to tell you that you misspelled the word "challenged" in your post. You wrote "challeneged" I think.
@@johnpgizzi 🤣
Guess humans were meant to be perfect everytime right?
@@julianneedsblood7091 knot this hyooman
I was 15 before it hit me that the words to the CCR song was "there's a bad moon on the rise" and NOT "there's a bathroom on the right" 😂
Our youth group actually had a parody of that song completely based on there being a bathroom on the right. 😁
My daughter thought the same thing! She was considerably older before I convinced her. We still don't talk about it lol
@@Clevercat4 😂😂
I was 52(today) when I found out!!!😂😂😅
If it's done as a parody, it could be used as a commercial for immodium or pepto. At least that's how I imagine it🤭🤣
When one of our daughter's were little she would be watching the cartoon the jetsons. She would be singing along with the theme song. Every time they got to the part that said Jane his wife she would say Jane is right. She is now 40 and it still makes me laugh to this day.
Mine was always the song Guantanamera. Had a friend that swore it was "One ton tomata, I wanna one ton tomata...". As a result I always sing that lyric when I hear the song.
One day at the office that song came on the radio so I sang out my friend's lyrics. A co-worker told me to do something anatomically impossible . I swung around, not understanding what I had done. She was wearing a bright red jumpsuit. She refused to believe my story and that it was not directed at her. She quit a week later.
another...
Don't go around tonight,
Well it's bound to take your life,
There's a bathroom on the right.
(sorry)
I always heard it as "Blinded by the light. Wake up like a goose in the middle of the night."
Wrapped up like a deuce and a runner in the night… 🤷🏻♂️
@@martytarver4544 What do those lyrics even mean? Lol.
@@certainly2509 it messed me up for ages too. The real lyrics (from memory, having looked them up years ago), are, "Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night". The deuce in the song is a reference to a particular 1932 Ford. I think, the same kind of "little deuce coupe" that The Beach Boys sang about.
Edited: A Duesenberg, a high-end car from the early 20th century, was nicknamed Duesy.
@@duckduckgoismuchbetter Thanks, now that much more sense now! 👍
@@certainly2509 I corrected it btw, the reference is actually to a Ford. And a Duesenberg was referred to as a Duesy. Which, until I just now looked it up, I had always assumed was the source of the word "doozy". But apparently doozy came before Duesenbergs. You can learn something every day.
