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

[harryupbabble]

you can dance if you want no
or you can be an imbecile

[Bunny_boy]

Genesis' Invisible Toolshed

[mumpcake]

I always thought the line in "Love Lies Bleeding" by Elton John was something like "all the things that I could do with another man" when it really is "It'd kill me to think of you with another man"

[harryupbabble]

huh?
isn`t bernie taupin hetero?
googling now
yes he is, they say

but who can be sure he is writing for himself
and stuff

[harryupbabble]

okay, with another man, one can play basketball, too
and share vienna sausage

[harryupbabble]

not me, i don play basketball
it`s futile
i`m only a few inches taller than peter dinklage
and what`s the point of playing basketball with doc, dopey, and sneezy

[harryupbabble]

and vienna sausage is meant to be eaten alone
that`s what the beaarded songwriter from abba said

okay maybe i am confused a bit

[Bunny_boy]

Couple of Can ones for me.
In Mushroom, I've always thought Damon screamed, "I'm gonna keep my distance!" but apparently it is, "I'm gonna give my despair"
Which is a bit boring.

On Halleluwah, though, Damon sings, "I'm search for my blood flow", which I initially heard as, "I'm searching for my blowup doll" which is a bit amusing.

I heard Gloria Gaynor I Will Survive last night and I remembered for the longest time I thought she said You tried to hurt me with your lies, but she actually says you tried to hurt me with goodbyes.

[mumpcake]

The Knack, "Good Girls Don't", has the line

"Good girls don't, but I do"

which still to this day for me sounds like he's singing "... but I had to".
