Speaking of misunderstanding others' lyrics...when I was a small child, I was SOOOO EXCITED when Elvis recorded a song about me...Return to Cinda!

My daughter used to think that the line in Southern Cross was "looking for that Mormon girl" instead of the actual line of "Lookin' for that woman/girl".

And of course there has always been confusion over...

I'm in the nude for love,
stripping because you're near me.

I never have figured out "making me over" from Who's the blonde stranger.

Does anyone know what that phrase means?

Thanks

I always took it as causing a change in behavior and/or looks. Sort of the "I'm a stud because I'm with her now, instead of my partner".

For me - "..smell those shrimp there again at the bar"

Previous verse: "All of this tube is covered with oil".

You mean that isn't the lyric!!!

its a son of a gun of a forest im not admitting hopw long i thought that was the lyric i did think it was an obscure reference but hey what would i know about sailing

"I ate the last mango in Paris
Took the last plane out of Saigon
Took the first fast boat to China
And "Jimmy, there's still so much to be done."

For years I thougt it was the "first bass boat"

Who's the blonde stranger who entered my wife. I do laugh every time I hear it after figuring out it was life

I think first time I heard Desperation Samba... never dawned on me that the refrain was in Spanish

Yo quiero bailar en Mexico
Do the Desperation Samba Con nos amigos

And I'm not even going to try the First Look Verse....


But this is really nothing new for me....

I think the song is called "The Lookout Gang". There's a line that says "I know it's a shabby old building." Always thought he was saying "I know it's a chevy we're building." Ooops.

I used to think it was, "Took my first passport to China" we all deserve a vacation, even our passports...lol

Or it could be my sig line I've had off and on for years....


And it's from "The Hang Out Gang"

It was reading your sig line that pointed out my latest bout with stupidity.

You're a lot of things, Darlin'....but stupid is sooooooo not on the list!

Love that line....and the song!

The backgroud chorus of Great Heart....In the live version I think they sing 'My boombox and my capezzio?????' If you llisten to the original version on Hot Water....I can't tell. It's not the same.
