Let the bicycle roll...
Let the bicycle roll...
Let the bicycle... RRRRROOOOOLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!
OK, that's not what I really thought it was, but I couldn't tell, so that's what I chose...
Guess I'm more a bubblegum pop kinda guy... and I like to ride my bicycle.
It did not sound nearly that clear blaring in my car, ha...
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
In Barcelona airport 8 years ago waiting in line. I related a story to my young children ( fluent in Spanish) that a friend in high School thought it was “ put the penny on the desk”. I start singing real loud, “ put the penny on the desk!” Well, my kids were mortified telling me to be quiet so like a dad, I sing even louder. I quickly found out that “penne” in Spanish is “ penis”....haven’t lived that one down yet. That will forever go down into their dad Hall of Fame moves.

You might want to glance at the album cover!! 
There's a bathroom on the right! John Fogarty actually sings that line now for one verse in concert.
Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter.
I still hear him sing, “On a wizard and a whale.”
The real lyric is, “I wanna wish it all away.”
“Wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night” or is it “revved up like a deuce another runner in the night”? Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. Blinded by the light.
One day I had the lord of the rings soundtrack playing in my house and the shire theme came on, my wife walked in and asked why I was listening to Shrek..lol
Quoted from RobertWinter:One of my favorites from a friend's mom who thought the AC/DC song was Dirty Deeds Done to a Sheep.
LTG : )
Elton John's Bennie and the Jets- always heard she's got electric boobs, her mother sues when it is actually electric boots, a mohair suit.
Stevie Nicks - One Winged Dove
Gnr welcome to the bunghole
then there was that other song, My brown eye girl, that i always thought was talking about a similar thing as the gnr song
I’ve been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
Stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with chihuahua?"
Quoted from RobertWinter:One of my favorites from a friend's mom who thought the AC/DC song was Dirty Deeds Done to a Sheep.
Had a friend who thought it was "Dirty-D and the thunder chief." LoL
Quoted from DennisDodel:My brother used to sing: "Big ol' wet vagina!" instead of "Big ol' jet airliner!"
There she was just a-walkin' down the street singin'
"Show your titties!
Titty One.
Titty Two."
Quoted from jasonspoint28:Tom Petty-Runnin Down a Drain
Me on Sky Jump
Quoted from Electrocute:Tom Petty. “Free Ballin”.
Me on Ship Ahoy
Quoted from swampshroom:Not lyrics, but my wife has thought for the last 30+ years that the band was call "Hauling Oats" . Like there out there in there pickup truck with sacks of oats taking them to market.

There's a new artist named Lennon Stella. Whenever her song comes on my wife's asks who is this. She thought it was two singers. Len and Stella
Not me, but my girlfriend (wife now). Back in about 1985 we were driving somewhere and this song came on and she started singing it, bouncing and swinging her hair. I looked over at her and busted out laughing. Even to this day I remind her of it!
Strawberry shortcake, stir!
Strawberry shortcake, stir!
(sung to the tune The Stroke by Billy Squire: Stroke me, stroke me... STROKE! ) LOL!
During halftime (communion) at Sunday service, I thought I was a ad we had to sit through
Chrysler ford
Chrysler Plymouth
Chryslers come our wayyyy
:
Like a ad in a infomercial
Not all mine
Don't stop thinking about your mama
I'll never leave your pizza burning
Looking for my log shaker of salt. (That one is mine). You know, the souvenir log shakers - made sense to me
