Misunderstood Song Lyrics [old, I mean classic, thread bumped]

[Klemperer]

Didn't check all youtube videos mentioned, but my favourite is always the one from a bulgarian crap-show where people vote for the super-singer.

People, listen to KEN LEE, and if (most probably) it was mentioned here before, listen again:)

Once my sister was listening to "Roam" by the B-52s. During the chorus my dad says "What are they saying? Roll missing one tooth?!?!"

I had a dream where some guy was singing Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell". But he changed the chorus to "Her favorite Stooge is Moe! Moe! MOE!"

a friend recently told me what "Mony Mony" means...now the song actually makes sense

I assumed it always had to do with the alternate line 'ride the pony,' the obvious sexual allusion. Am I wrong? And why "Mony," if you know?

Another typical Dutch example I think: Bob Marley, 'No Woman, No Cry'.

He says: 'Please Woman, don't cry'.
But most Dutch think he means: 'If you got no woman, you don't have to cry (got no sorrows/pain).

Probably most Americans, too. Me at least. I didn't get this until I just read your post, and I've been humming this one for more than 30 years.

Well..either they misheard (Mony for a Muni)or they were messing with him
Anyway..i always thought that Mony was just a name...

The hook in the song is said to have been inspired by James' view of a MONY sign atop the Mutual of New York Building in New York City skyline from his Manhattan apartment. As Tommy James says in a 1995 interview in Hitch magazine:

True story: I had the track done before I had a title. I wanted something catchy like "Sloopy" or "Bony Maroney," but everything sounded so stupid. So Ritchie Cordell and I were writing it in New York City, and we were about to throw in the towel when I went out onto the terrace, looked up and saw the Mutual of New York building (which has its initials illuminated in red at its top). I said, "That's gotta be it. Ritchie, come here, you've gotta see this." It's almost as if God Himself had said, "Here's the title." I've always thought that if I had looked the other way, it might have been called "Hotel Taft."

Most people have no idea what Frosty the Snowman is about. In fact, there are countless songs that contain esoteric meaning(s) that evade the common consciousness, simply put. However, the child always acts like they never heard anything for the first time. So, one usually has to rely on the deer in the headlights look, instead of the "I knew that" response to confirm a misunderstanding.

have i mentioned i've been misunderstanding the lyrics to "Mony Mony"?
