ROFLMAO

I looooooooooooooooooove misheard lyrics!!! These posts are great!

These are so funny!

In Changing Channels I always thought the verse that goes:
This place is full of beachhead sailors
Fishermen and old retailers
Simple lives are so deep seated
And history always gets repeated

was "fishermen and Opie Taylors"

My daughter did, too.....of course, she had no idea what a "pop top" is.....we still sing it that way just for fun!

I didn't know it was "a remora" either.....but it was an educational experience....at least I know what a remora is now.

We are part of the Pop Tart family, too. Mostly sing it that way now just for fun.

Now, dammit, THAT'S funny!

My kids are beyond over the top with Buffett these days. They can name every song from this year's concert tour before Jimmy starts singing. Outside of trying to avoid the song about the hole in the ground, I've been pretty creative with things.

"A little like religion and a lot like sense"

My 5 year old son's current favorite line is "I don't shoot smack, but I got a spicy monkey riding on my back." It's great when he sings that at the school where I'm a pastor. "Uh, you know, just trying to start them in early in saying no to drugs. Nancy Reagan would be proud..."

"Kissed it away so fast"

I'm forgetting quite a few, but after a trip last spring break to the Gulf Shores of Alabama and Lulu's, my son now wants to visit Captain Tony's.

"Daddy, what's a head?"
"Um, a bathroom son." (Imaging the next day at school when he asks his teacher to go to the head to read the words the old man said...)

Some others:
"Good times and riches and bootlegs and stitches" (radio edit version)

"All the jazz musicians were smoking lots of fun ya'll" (7 year old daughter came up with that after a week down south)

My favorite:
"My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, and I Sure Love Jesus" (Daughter asked if she could sing that in church sometime. "Uh, sure honey...")

Peace,
Matt

I actually thought she was a "stunt" queen!

I thought he was singing "They say you are a SNUB queen."
(It's acutally "SNUFF" queen).

Just now realized that myself

This explains why Jimmy has some of those Senior Moments onstage. He's watching us sing the wrong words.

The good news is I get to sing my songs
The bad news is they all sing along
And they're singing wrong notes
Ahh, life on the road

One of my favorite JJW lines!

It took me a while to accept "brown L.A. haze"... it just didn't sound "right".

And ever since I read kissthisguy.com, I sing "looking for my lost chickerasaw".
It just fits so well.

I thought it was "mangled man"..

The thing IS....it would still actually be believable that way!

Beignets. Great with cafe au lait.



THink you might have heard of this place in a Buffett song or two. (definitely in a book)

Oh I've totally heard of it...it's actually a dream of mine to go there in person

I've never been able to decide WHAT I think it is!

I still think he changed the words in APLAF ...

From "I won't wear a frown..."

To "I won't wear BROWN ..."

Sounds like brown not frown to me.

Because ... you know what? He doesn't wear brown very often ...

Hey it's not just Jimmy's stuff. My dear old departed dad and I were riding around a bunch of years ago. I had the radio on and the Bee Gees' vesrion of More Than A Woman came on and pop thought they were singing Bald Headed Woman. The more I listened the more I had to agree.

More recently I had trouble understanding the lyrics to Indendence Day by Martina McBride. I swear the first time I heard it it sounded like,

Let freedom ring
let the white girl sing (vice dove)

Coulda sworn it was "Livin' on spongecake".

OMG!!!!!

This is the funniest thread I ever seen!!!


I can't think right now of any lyrics I mess up....I'm sure there are some..

I'll have to think on it.

Lulu's and Lambert's are my two favorite places in Gulf Shores.

I didn't know what a "rolf" was (as in, "...don't tell me that I ought to get rolfed..." from We Are the People), until I was in a bad car crash and my doctor ordered me to get one.
