    There is a line that does bother me, from Stairway To Heaven: 'how everything still turns to gold'. I KNOW it's supposed to be 'gold' but I have never heard it as anything other than 'stone' in the studio version.

    Well Well Known to Most everybody then.

    "Reach down, in between my legs, and ease the seat back."

    for:

    "Reach down, in between my legs, and ease the seed bag."

    Now, I can't hear the song without thinking of that lady when they get to that line...
    Now that's just funny!!! We listened to this album this weekend. I'll never hear it quite the same again.

    Having trouble understanding the lyrics to Joe Cocker's With a Little Help from My Friends? This video will help.
    (It's been posted on the board before, but it's always worth another look!)

    Just check out the Beatles original! Ringo is pretty easy to understand. I always thought Cocker's version was too over the top, although I like it.

    I have one. The Rolling Stones' Sway, which I heard eariler today, I thought was 'it's just that mean ol' life has got me in its sway'. It is 'it's just that demon life'....

    These are all so imaginative. When I was in college we used listen to a slot on a radio show called 'looney lunchtime lyrics' which was just that - mishearing the lyrics of songs,

    Some people may remember Katrina and the Waves song 'Sunny Street'. Instead of 'we're all livin on a Sunny Street' it sounded more like 'we're all livin on a Soda Stream'. Actually I won a Genesis album for sending that one in.

    Another was from Bon Jovi's 'Livin on a Prayer'. The line 'Tommy used to work on the Dock' came out to us as 'Tommy used to work on the Dart'. Very logical since this is the acronym for our 'Dublin Area Rapid Transport' train system!

    Well, I was joking that the video would actually help you understand the words. If you play it you can see that it's a nonsensical interpretation of the lyrics. It was supposed to be funny, FP.

    I thought about that later and realised that it was meant to be a joke. I hadn't watched the clip! OOPS! Sorry.

    I've just read this and also burst out laughing!

    I've long thought that Neil Diamond was singing about a trendy vicar called the Reverend Blue Jeans!
