Thank you for clearing up ‘Blinded by the light” – I have never understood what the heck he was saying there… 🙂 so glad the song isn’t about douches!
That one took me a long time to figure out also.
I know the lyrics and it still doesn’t sound like he says deuce! My younger brother when he was little thought Sheena Easton’s Strut……strut, pop, put it out….said striped potted pudding. That still cracks me up.
Stripped potted pudding, that is to funny
I always love these! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it
I always thought it was “There’s a baboon on the right!”
I have not heard that one before. Interesting
I knew a couple of these! How fun!
Thank you
I’m a very visual person so I always crack up at the images these misheard lyrics bring to mind.
It is interesting the lyrics people think they hear instead of what the true lyric is.
