In volcano -

"My girl quickly said to me..."

Thought it was..
"My girl Quiggly said to me..."

I thought Quiggly was a strange name, but maybe its normal on a tropical island.

I've got a ride a tin planet. :oops: (Don't really know what a tin planet is, just thought the drugs were good that day.)

Or, I've got a verse but can't rhyme it.

My daughter used to think that the line in Southern Cross was "a young Mormon girl" rather then the "young woman girl" that Stephen Stills wrote. I guess that's what happens when you grow up in Utah. :lol:

In this case, "young Mormon girl" makes more sense. :)

From Banana Republic:
"Give me some words I can dance to
or another beat in time"

It wasn't until my wife told me I was wrong when I sang it did I realize what it was.

Not misunderstood lyrics, but

In Mexico, I always wondered who the heck was Skip Wiley and Skink was. Thank you Carl Hiaasen for some great characters.
