"Bean Town Boogie in My Mind"

...or is it "cheese fries twirl into my ride?"...or even "pizza pudding chips and fries"

no actually the correct lyric is "these sounds swirl into my mind". or at least that's what people seem to think. even the buckethead's themselves could be wrong. anywho, i'm talking about the song "the bomb" by the bucketheads. it's one of those 90's gay club dance songs that a few of us are familiar with. although, each of us seems to have a different interpretation of the lyrics.

i mean, those six words are really the only spoken text in that song, and we still screw it up. give it a listen if you haven't before and see what you come up with.

so i thought i would take this space to mention a few songs that have misheard lyrics. june nick and i have discovered a couple fan-made videos on youtube of what they THINK they are hearing in a song.

those vids include "even flow" - pearl jam (you could do a misheard lyrics video for pretty much every one of their songs), "smells like teen spirit" - nirvava, and "sowing the seeds of love" - tears for fears.

here are a few "betcha never knew"s:

keep on with the force, don't stop, don't stop 'til you get enough [don't stop 'til you get enough - michael jackson]

be my mirror, my sword, and shield [viva la vida - coldplay]

what you doin' in the back? (i thought it was "what you doing on your butt?" [you should be dancing - bee gees]

jeremy spoke in class today [jeremy - pearl jam]



i'm sure there are a ton more, and i wish i could think of some more now. what i don't get is how some artists who have a reputation of having unclear lyrics continue to make it harder for us to understand them. aka pearl jam, the bee gees, nirvana. like, do they realize that we have to look UP the lyrics to their songs rather than just listen. oh well i guess it's good not to change...especially the voice, which is pretty difficult to try and do.

so i'll keep today's post short. i feel an album review coming on tomorrow. sound good? neat. see you then.

Cheers!
