Goofy lyrical interpretation

Was at work yesterday under the headphones when Nightwish's - Dark Chest Of Wonders came on. "Sigh" my gutter-mind thought "They're singing about Halle Berry"! (or insert your hot Black chick of choice in there)

Random stupid thoughts.

Adding to that.....

Listening to Once Dead the other day I kept hearing "Deep-fried Man!! Deep-fried man!" What? I look and it's Defy Man. Jeepers.....

On the Living Sacrifice song "Symbiotic" it sounds like he's saying (sever your neck). I also used to think that part of the AIC song "Down in a Hole" that said (i want to be inside of you) was refering to sex but later it dawned on me that he meant to be buried in the grave.

I love these things, There was one song I remember listening to (don't remember the band) called originator and every time the dude would scream "I AM THE ORIGINATOR" it sounded like he was screaming "I AM THE CHEESE-GRATER!!!!"

One of the classics is Manfred Mann's version of "Blinded By The Light".

Who here doesn't think he's saying "wrapped up like a douche you know, a runner in the night."?

Oh, and another one is Ratt's "You're In Love".

Every time I hear that song, my mind turns to bedroom watersports.

King Diamond-Deadyly Omens from Abigail:

"Deadly almonds. Deadly...Almonds!"

The Family Ghost:

"Abigail has been in here, for years and years...stillborn. Al Gore!!!"

Metal Church - The Dark

There's a line that says "I'm skakin' and I'm thinkin'", I always heard that as "I'm a chicken on a mission".

My mom always though Loverboy was saying Candylou instead of Turn Me Loose. Took me forever to realize how she was getting that.

In the song "Metal Tyrant" by Seven Witches, there's a line that goes "resilient power burning bright," which I always heard as "Brazilian power, burning bright." Even though I know it's wrong, I still sing it that way.

I love threads like this!

Anthrax-Got the time

"Got the time, chic-chic-chicken on my head!"

I'm sure everyone has already seen this but when this subject comes up, this video is the first thing that pops into my mind.

Ha! I think I've learned to not look up actual lyrics in cases like this, because they lyrics my subconcious makes up are usually so much better.

Theres a line in Benny and The Jets where I always thought Old Elton was singing "Oh The Weed Its So wonderful"

I had thought those were the actually lyrics.

Nope.

Quote :

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Still doesn't make any sense.

The song was written by Bruce Springsteen on his first album, the lyrics are:

And she was blinded by the light
Cut Loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the Light She Got Down
but she got down but she never got tight but he's gonna make it tonight

I knew Springsteen wrote it (I actually have that album) but I didn't know Manfred Mann messed with the lyrics. I googled the Manfred Mann version and the lyrics I posted are what came up.

Regardless, neither version of the lyrics make any sense. In fact, the whole song makes no sense.

Anybody else ever hear the other Springsteen song Manfred Mann covered? "I Came For You"? Those lyrics don't make any sense either.

I think the "deuce" in the lyrics may refer to the Buick 225, sometimes called a "Deuce and a quarter" in 70s slang. "Revved up like a deuce" makes more sense in that context.

Makes more sense than the current slang use of "deuce!"

I certainly did, though my best friend got a kick out of it when I told him. Good to see that I wasn't the only one.

In Depeche Mode's Sound Of Silence, my mom and her then boyfriend (now husband) were convinced that the lyrics where:

Everything I've Ever Wanted
All I Ever Needed
Is him in my arms

They thought it was a queer song. They wouldn't believe me that it was here not him.

"LOCK THE CASHBOX"
