'Scuse me while I kiss this guy - misheard lyrics

The oboe may be banned in Cleveland, but the heart of rock and roll is still beating.

-- ? :dunno:

This is kinda related -- a YouTuber named Buffalax takes music videos from India (and other places) and puts intentionally misheard lyrics on - this is a Buffalax copycat:

It's a girl my lord on a flattened board.

It's a girl my lord in a flathead Ford.

Took me 15 years to figger that one LOL.

Hey, that's understandable - I know when I see a hot chick in a truck the first thing I think is, "what's the engine configuration?"

I believe Jon Anderson has confessed to making all that shit up and was going for the sound of the made-up word alone. Not bad, getting royalties for the same thing a two-year old does :thup:

Dude...you are, clearly, not a hot rodder! :) If they see a hot chick driving an old Ford with a flattie, plenty of them will walk right past her and start drooling over the truck! :lol:

-- And that's a good thing. More for me. :thup:


And I swore the Beatles sang "Lady Godiva".

That was Peter and Gordon.

He might be remembering that P&G did a couple of McCartney songs, "I Don't Wanna See You Again" and "World Without Love".

When they start saying "be poised and quiet", my buddy Clyde thought they were saying "requesting Clyde".

Acutally she's saying "be quiet - big boys don't cry".

Hard to see that tune in here; it's got quite a history. Eric Stewart brought it in as kind of a bossa nova, played it and his bandmates were unimpressed and moved on -- but then noticed that the studio staff kept singing the melody for "I'm not in Love" so decided to give it another look and a rearrangement.

All those lush voices that sound like a synthesizer or mellotron were actually done by singing and holding every note of the scale, one track at a time, onto 16 tracks and then cloned to 256 tracks, so that they constructed an instrument out of the mixer console by running the tape and opening selected tracks to create chords. That had never been done before (this was 1974). The result was so successful that it launched the band and got them a nice recording contract with a bigger company.

Doubly misheard lyrics then. I thought she was saying "be quiet, be poised and quiet..."
 
I got laughed at quite a bit when I was told that Foreigner's Urgent was not what I thought it was...

It's NOT "She's so far away"...it's "Jeux sans frontieres".

"..and beautiful for SPACESHIP SKIES
above the fruited plains
A-MERica America God Shed thy grace on thee.."

Yup that's what I thought it said back when I was in 2nd grade.

Made perfect sense to me, too, since I assumed we'd have spaceships soon.
