[Ultimate Hero]

I assume that's from Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix, where the realy lyrics are "Excuse me while I kiss the sky".

That song is notoriously hard to decipher. In live shows Vedder changes the lyrics from concert to concert, or so I've read.

Lyrics for: Yellow Ledbetter Unsealed on a porch a letter sat.
Then you said, "I wanna leave it again."
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand.
And on the sand I wanna leave it again. Yeah.
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away, yeah.
And they called and I said that "I want what I said" and then I call out
again.
And the reason oughta leave her calm, I know.
I said "I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag."

Ah yeah, can you see them out on the porch?
Yeah, but they don't wave.
But I see them round the front way. Yeah.
And I know, and I know. I don't want to stay.
Make me cry...

I see... Ooh I don't know why there's something else.
I wanna drum it all away...
Oh, I said, "I don't, I don't know wheather I was the boxer or the bag."

Ah yeah, can you see them out on the porch?
Yeah, but they don't wave.
But I see them round the front way. Yeah.
And I know, and I know. I don't wanna stay at all.
I don't wanna stay. Yeah.
I don't wanna stay. [x2]
I don't... Don't wanna, oh... Yeah. Ooh... Ohh...

[Ben Urich]

Everyone is a tizzy back in 1999 when Eiffel65's Blue came out... they thought the lyric was "I'm blue and in need of a guy, in need of a guy," etc. ZOMG teh homoz!!1
What they didn't realize was the parenthetical bit at the end of the song title: Da Ba Dee.
It's "I'm blue da ba dee da ba die," etc.

[PLAS]

that song has lyrics?

talking about the late 90's the Thubhumping song by Chumbawamba had pretty strange lyrics for my ears

or at least I could never properly decipher them until I had the lyric sheet with me

It's on my Middle School Favorites playlist.

I could never figure out if it was "pissin' the night away" or "kissin' the night away."

That, and the whole "You asffa a whisky drink, you ajsfa a iasfasf drink asfasfasfas remind you about the good times," section.

I was once teaching english in this institute and I had a really hot lady in my class, she was recently divorced, and as I was teaching them the alphabet using flash cards with verbs, I was pulling verbs at random and have students spell the verbs

so this hot lady spells "run", but it really sounded like "are you in?"

gosh, I wanted to tell her "not yet babe, but gimme a couple of days and no doubt I'll be"

of course, that was back when Chumbawamba was all the rage

what does it have to do with anything?

absolutly nothing

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Yeah, I doubted I was the only one to make that mistake
