The Jungle Brother's "Black Is Black" I heard "Martin Luther had to shout" as "Martin Buber had to shout." For a brief moment I was impressed that the Jungle brothers were throwing out Buber references before I pieced things together.

When I was a kid I always heard that Dire Straits song as 'money for nothing and your chips for free'. I mean, who's gonna turn down free chips? I'll take mine with salt and loads of vinegar, thanks.

Is the band name Half Man Half Biscuit derived from the Birthday Party song She's Hit in which A Monster Half Man Half-beast climbs the stairs?Think that's the right correct words but Cave sounds odd at that point.

An alternative take on Neil Young's classic 'Broken Arrow'...
"Did you see them in the river?They were there to wave to you.Could you tell that the empty quiver? Groundskin.In the inn on the banks that were crowded and narrowHeld a broken arrow?"
Now I know that italicised part makes absolutely no sense and I know now that its actually "empty-quiverred brown-skinned Indian", but for years that's how I heard it (no lyric sheets in those Buffalo Springfield albums!).

I'M THE ILLEST MUTHAFUCKA FROM HERE TO GARDENIA
Until last week, I though this line was "I'm the illest muthafucka since Vincent Gardenia", thus continuing the Beastie Boys tradition of surpassing the hip hop prowess of Italian-American character actors, cf. Abe Vigoda.

everyone's misheard "how soon is now," of course ... i originally thought that the opening lyric was "i am the sun and the air/of a shiner that is criminally vulgar." that is, that someone had punched Morrissey and gave him a black eye (or maybe that's me projecting?) what the "sun and air" had to do with getting a black eye, though, was an unsolved teenage mystery.― Tad (llamasfur), Thursday, 26 December 2002 20:23 (9 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
