When I first heard First Look I thought he was sayin "won't you take me to LIVE LONG where the samba queen waits for me" instead of "won't you take me to LEBLON where the samba queen waits for me".

Same here, when I saw misunderstood lyrics the first song that came to mind was Come Monday I remember hearing it on the radio when I was just a littlt Parrot.

But really, in the early 70s, it probably was an LSD reference, just thinly veiled enough to get past the censors.

Same idea as "Lake Shore Drive" by Aliotta, Haynes and Jeremiah:
getting by on LSD

I never thought of it that way!!!!!

I used to think Cold draft beer in CBIP was cold ass beer

Same here! Guess I better start reading the liner notes...

Tin Cup Chalice "get that Packard up and let's move" I always thought it was "get that Packard runnin' let's move" and I've seen it misquoted as "get that pack gear up and let's move"

Leblon is in Brazil...I think it's part of Rio, like a suburb or district.

Found this on www.webster.com!!
One entry found for fronton.

: a jai alai arena

Count me in the people that thought Jimmy was saying "Mangled Man" rather than "Mango Man". Clears a lot of things up now that I know the correct lyrics. As for Come Monday, for the longest time I thought he was saying "brown early haze".

Well aparently my mind is in the gutter... in Tin Cup Chalice "get that Packard up and let's move" I always thought it was "get that P*cker" runnin' let's move" I finally asked my husband what is he saying?? Talk about being way off the mark!

I second that. Another mistake I made for the longest is confusing "swimmin around" in Fins with "scoonin" then I convinced myself he was singing "schoolin." After really thinking hard about it I came up with the logic that fish swim in schools and it would make perfect sense for him to be saying "schoolin". It was one of those dumb days!!! I guess we all have them.

I used to hear "brown ugly haze", which sorta made sense.


I used to hear this too. Then about six months ago my hubby set me straight.

This is the best mix up yet!!!!!!

A few years back I took my daughter to a concert. When Jimmy mentioned "here's a little Come Monday for ya", she turned to me with a grin and said "I always thought he was saying Come on Davey". I didn't even want to try and explain why he would be holding him tight.
