I ran across this tonight looking for more links about the damn stop the catbox (or rock the catbox) commercial...

I am still laughing...One of my fav's is Aerosmiths Dude Looks Like a Lady... OY! I would sing that in elementry school (kindergarten)..

Only left-handed people are in their right minds.

With songs:

Lefties tend to remember the beat better.
Righties tend to remember the lyrics better.

Oddly I tend to remember the words in Greek music more than in western / English-language and/or American music. I am guessing the repetition and constant exposure help! (I listen to the same song until I "get" the creative use of language). *LOL* The polysyllabic nature of the words probably does not hurt, either! By necessity they are S T R E T C H E D out rather than sometimes slurred, swallowed or stacattoed
 
When I was a child still in school.....

A female classmate (wanting to plug my ears just remembering this) was singing "Islands in the stream". She sang "sail away with me, to another world and we'll lie on each other...." LOL I remember thinking she'd turn into a nymph, or something.
 
OK... I just joined the ranks

Listing to "Dirty white boy" i thought they where singing "Thirty watt boy"
The lady at mcdonalds corrected me as i was humming along thirty watt boy
 
Put this in your Flair and bake it!

And of course, you may remember that great Bachman-Turner Overdrive tune:

"BAKIN' CARROT BISCUITS (every day!), BAKIN' CARROT BISCUITS (every way!)"...

Of course, that's "Takin' Care of Business!"
 
For the longest time when I was little I thought that Cher on the radio sang "Give Peace, time for Peace, we heard it from the people of the town... turns out to be "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves", but with her nasal inflection and strong vibrado, the lyrics blended into the melody and sounded the same.
 
"Our Lips Are Sealed" sounded like Alex the Seal to many.

In the 1960's song "If You Wanna Be Happy" I always heard:

"An ugly woman put meals on fast,
She'll always give you a piece of ***."

Go figure!!! It still sounds like that is what they are saying to me, but I'm guessing that last word is pie.
 
when i was heavily into duran duran a few years ago at the tender age of 16 i used to sing something about Crepe Suzettes to a line in View to a Kill, not that I was the only one. Ive heard colleagues at work singing about crepes to that line too. Very odd. And to that Aerosmith one I ashamedly used to sing Hoover like a lady. Pmsl. KD LANGS "I cant stand gravy", to constant craving and "Old Piano" to Ultravoxs Vienna were confused by one particular colleague. Nick
 
If you wanna be happy?

I think that line in "If You Wanna Be Happy" is...

An ug-a-lee woman cooks meals on time
She'll always give you peace of mind...
 
Macy Gray - "I Try"

real lyric is "I try to say goodbye and I choke" (just looked it up now)

I knew it wasn't right, but all I could hear was "I try to say goodbye to my chook"

(chook = chicken in AU slang)

Chris.
