Quoted from Jjsmooth:The rye or the kaiser..
Hey, Weird Al just might do that (or did he already?).
For real though, I can not tell for a second if the song that just came on is Under Pressure, or Ice Ice Baby.
Blinded by the light was already covered, that was the main one for me.
Quoted from jrpinball:Hey, Weird Al just might do that (or did he already?).
He did. It was on Weird Al Yankovic in 3-D and the song title was "Theme from Rocky XIII (The Rye or the Kaiser)".
Stairway to Heaven:
“And as we wind on down the road” for 20 years I though he was saying
“And there’s a wino down the road”.
Quoted from Coindork:She's got electric boobs.
Her mom has two.
You know I read it in a magazine.
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
If only Shatner had covered Bennie like he covered Rocketman, there’d be no confusion.
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:April Wine - If You See Kay
Seeing this underrated Canadian band mentioned here made me smile! Thanks Johnny, if we ever run into each other the Natty Lites are on me!
Quoted from Eightball88:Seeing this underrated Canadian band mentioned here made me smile!
Our local rock station used to play April Wine a lot when I was young. I think they had a lot of concerts here also.
I think Chilliwack was from Canada also, I liked that band also.
Thanks for the beer offer!
Quoted from hwyhed:I know that the talking heads song goes ‘burning down the house’ but I sing it ‘looking down her blouse’ I like my version better...
I always sang The Stroke "toking, toking, toke, toke".
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:I always sang The Stroke "toking, toking, toke, toke".
Elton johns Benny n the jets..I sing Jenny n her tits...hope that I can say that...u sense a theme here..lol
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:I think Chilliwack was from Canada also, I liked that band also.
Great band. Saw them in 1977 in St. Louis with Heart as the opening act. 'Fly At Night' is a classic. Crank it up!
Radio bleeps out too much anymore. That one song "What it's like" is not even that bad, and they bleep half of it.
In the 70's Rich Girl was playing all the time, and they never bleeped bitch girl. They probably would now though.
Quoted from DennisDodel:Great band. Saw them in 1977 in St. Louis with Heart as the opening act. 'Fly At Night' is a classic. Crank it up!
I only have one CD from Chilliwack and that is not on it.
As far as Heart, I seen them spring break 82 or 83 on the pier at Fort Walton Beach FL. I was only 12 or 13 and those college girls were awesome, oh, and Heart was awesome also.
Quoted from DennisDodel:Here you go:
I remotely remember that from a long time ago, for sure did not get much airplay here.
My Girl (gone so long), was the one I heard a lot on the radio, and the video was on MTV a lot, back when they had music videos...aka the good old days.
As far as airplay, I like HaleStorm, never heard on the air in my area, but I can go on a roadtrip and hear them all the time.
I have always loved roadtrips to just listen to what is being played in different areas.

I remembered this topic while ago. Pearl Jam - Sirens was in my head.
The lyric "fear goes away", sounded like to me they were saying "the big girls wait".
Seriously, listen to that song.
I could never figure out a line in the Boston song Rock and Roll Band... I thought it was 'Dancin' in the streets with my Alice' until I was driving out to Provincetown on Cape Cod and passed Hyannis Port.
And....
Ahhhhh, until I read the posts here I thought it was 'Don't bring me down, Bruce'!!!! Yikes.
Led Zeppelin - No Quarter...."Moby won't be home tonight"
Oak Ridge Boys - Elvira....."It'll fire up"

Olivia Newton John -Physical
I took you to an intimate restaurant
Then to a suggestive movie
I hear it as
I took you to an 'internet' restaurant.....
I’ll never be your pizza burnin’ - Rolling Stones
I spent 10 years working in a record store, but that was one of the best ones
Was listening to Dolly and Kenny the other morning while I was taking a shower and the wife started laughing.
I asked her why she was laughing and she said she thought they were saying “Island Industry”, not “Islands in the stream”.
She went decades singing it like that, lol.
Quoted from Coindork:I asked her why she was laughing and she said she thought they were saying “Island Industry”, not “Islands in the stream”.

Ha! My Mom used to sing “Islands in the street!” 
It’s Time by Imagine Dragons. Refrain is supposed to go:
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
But first time I heard it I thought it was:
Time to begin, is it in?
I get a little bit bigger than that, I admit
I’m just the same as I was
Just about did a spit take at work. Was shocked they would play that on the radio.
Quoted from NevadaNutJob:Blinded by the light
Wrapped up like douche ....
I think you get a pass on that one. There should be an interview out there that explains there was a glitch in the recording or something so it sounded incorrect.
Quoted from mooch:Ha! My Mom used to sing “Islands in the street!”
Lol, I could totally see that as well.
Rush, Armor and Sword:
The battle flags are flown at the feet of a garden gnome
Should be
The battle flags are flown at the feet of a god unknown
When that song "I'm Not In Love" by 10cc first came out on AM radio (a very long time ago now), I knew several people, including myself, who thought the woman's voice whispering something in the middle of the song was repeating the phrase "requesting quiet". Once I heard it on FM, it became obvious that she was actually whispering "big boys don't cry".

Also, from Beast of Burden:
correct lyric: All your sickness I can suck it up
incorrect lyric: All though the mess, I could suck a duck.
Not exactly a lyric, but who remembers the Ohio Players' "Love Rollercoaster" and the rumor that went around that the scream you hear during an interlude is a lady getting murdered or witnessing a murder in an adjacent studio, that the engineers didn't notice until after the song had been released?
Uh, duh, people scream on roller coasters! And recording engineers couldn't be that oblivious!
Groove is in the heart by Deee-Lite.
For some reason I always heard it as Roovers in the hoy. It made no sense but the singers seemed excited about it.

Thats a jukebox classic. I remember she was stabbed. I was 10 or 12 and remember it well.
