So i checked out that link,
Yeah first group i look up, first song i find, Yahtzee, i had a misread lyric
Actual Lyric-
We bought an old house on the Danforth.
I thought-
We bought an old house I’m a Da** fool.

Old Apartment by Barenaked ladies
It makes good sense, I thoguht he was just pissed he had bought a fixer upper and now it turned out to be more work than he expected.
Oh well.

When I listen to bands (like Eddie) who mumble, I usually don’t try to figure out what they’re saying. When I think about their singing (or sing along in my head), I usually think about the vague, word-like sounds their mumbling resembles. This is particularly true of Radiohead. Most of the time, I can’t figure out what the heck Thom is saying. There is one song (I have tried in vain to recall which one) in which Thom simply moans “Sorry.” For the longest time, it sounded like “Salad” to me, even though I was sure that wasn’t right.

I thought he was saying ’salad’ too. Seriously. Until now.

What song is that? I still can’t remember, and it’s driving me crazy.

I wish I could tell you. I just remember playing it once at KTRM in my brief and uninspiring stint as a dj. Or I could be imagining things.

the salt, the salt… the gosh dern salt. shame on you, everybody should know this, buffet is the all american staple. ;)

If you want a whole bunch more, type in “Mondegreens” to Google. There’s people who actually spend serious time compiling these, and a whole story about the name that is likely either referenced or spelled out on each and every one of the sites that will come up.

Something about “Lady Mondegreen” instead of “laid him on the green".

Since I already mentioneed my “living co-ed” version of “little red corvette” and “oom-boppa-la-ba-a” of “smooth operator,” I think it should be okay for me to mention one on behalf of a friend who will remain nameless. I was in the stands with a bunch of other wives/girlfriends watching our husbands/boyfriends play softball when we were talking about songs and someone asked what the words to “that song that goes ‘hush, hush, keep it down…’” were. My friend said, and very confidently I might add, “The lyrics are ‘hush, hush, keep it down, this is scary.’” Fortunately, Rob had recently corrected my identical mistaken lyric on that song so I could reprimand her harshly for overconfidence. (BTW, it’s actually “voices carry” - the title of the song.)
