Question of the Day, Wednesday, November 23, 2016 (the very early edition)

Yep.  It's very early.  I'm so tired I could cry, so I'm planning a VERY VERY early bedtime.

Now, at some point or another we have all heard or sung lyrics that just weren't quite...right, and often with unintentionally hilarious results.

What is your favorite Fractured Song Lyric, either that you sang, then found out better later, or that you heard?

Mine is hearing my four year old son proudly belting out his solo at kindergarden, "STAND BESIDE HER AND GUIDE HER, THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH A LIGHT FROM A BULB!"

And then there is this:

Well, it's not really a fractured song, but I'm a little weird sometimes, so here goes:

Many years ago, when our son was very young, we were on our way home from shopping. I was driving, Graham was in the back seat and Rick was co-pilot. We had a Mustang back then....a horse.

Graham and I were singing Jingle Bells for about the 40th time at the top of our lungs, and as we got to "In a one-horse open sleigh," I stopped the car. Right in the middle of the road. And then I made a farting sound, to make it sound like the horse was pooping. Started the car back up and we continued on our way. 

I thought Graham was going to pee himself, he was laughing so hard. Even Rick laughed at me.

You have to understand, we were driving a horse (the Mustang)...a one-horse open sleigh. There are a lot of Amish in our area so we see horse poop everywhere. I mean everywhere. I guess you had to be there.

Rick was a huge Barry Sanders (Detroit Lions) fan and he had a ton of Sanders stuff. We used to take trips everywhere just so he could look at Sanders cards and all kinds of stuff at card conventions. Well, I found a Sanders football for him one year for Christmas. And I made up a song (sung to Jingle Bells....must be something about Jingle Bells in our family) about going to the shows to look for Sanders' cards. I included the music on the paper, just the way sheet music would look, but decked out a little bit with holly and bells and stuff, since it was Christmas. I don't remember the exact words to the song, but it was actually pretty good. I gave it to Dear Richard along with his football. Rick still has that paper with his Sanders' football. 

I'll shut up now.   

I am sure there are more better/more appropriate examples, but this is what first came into my head via memory...


Everyone knows the song Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams right?


Weeelll.... for the longest time ever, I thought he was singing "We are going to have sex tonight" instead of "Back in the summer of 69"

So amazingly smart I know.

 

After listening many many times, VERY carefully, I'm still convinced that the singer is saying "bathroom on the right" instead of "bad moon on the rise" . Just to mess with us, lol.

what comes to my mind is pretty much any song sung by Mick Jagger. there must be some website(s) 'out there' with fractured lyrics of his songs.

It's not a song lyric although it is a mondegreen. When I was a kid I thought the Lord was named Hello because "Our father who art in heaven, Hello be thy name..."
