Aye an' a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin

and I cried, cried, cried.

The fear a fallen down taken never back the raize and then Craig Marion, get out wi' ye Claymore out mi pocket a' ran doon, doon the middin stain picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet.

Never he cried, never shall it ye get me alive ye rotten hound of the burnie crew. Well I snatched fer the blade O my Claymore cut and thrust and I fell doon before him round his feet.

Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall

And the wind cried Mary.

Thank you.

Former girlfriend managed a clothing store that had a loop of pop music tunes. One of the employees said, "I really like that 'no regrets' song." Former GF was puzzled as the employee described it as a synth pop tune with soft vocals that repeated "no regrets."

Finally she figured it out.

"No, that's Pets by Porno for Pyros. They're singing about aliens invading and taking over the world, then 'We'll make great pets.'"

They stopped playing Stairway to Gilligan (yep, the Gilligan's Island theme to the tune of Stairway to Heaven) after Led Zeppelin threatened to sue... but years later, Robert Plant told NPR it was his favorite cover of the song.

She's a good girl
Loves her llama
Loves Cheez-its
and asparagus too

Not quite rock but i swear to god that Elton John song went "Hold me closer Tony Danza" ... i never understood why he was singing about Tony Danza.

[Darth One]

i always thought that in "Don't stop till you get enough", Michael Jackson was telling us to "keep on, to the bus stop"

My Aunt swore that the Beatles were singing 'The girl with colitis goes by' - I was never a big Beatles fan, but that stuck in my head nicely.

And of course hearing that guy saying 'kill your parents' at the end of just about every Judas Priest song.

Metallica - Enter Sandman

What they sing:

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

What I hear:

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And a baked apple pie

Another from Thriller:

"The chair is not my son."

I read somewhere that the lead singer for the one-hit-wonder band that did Louie Louie was so drunk when he recorded that song, that today he has no idea what the lyrics really were

I liked the songs that I thought were about breakfast items:

Bob Marley, Stir it Up:
"cereal, little darling, cereal!

Taylor Swift, Blank Space:
"got all us Starbucks lovers"

[Darth One]

I also recently caught my wife singing to herself:

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love
A BAND AID!

The Kingsmen had at least a half dozen records that made it to Billboard's Top 100.

When I was little I remember looking for Night Moon by Seger on a jukebox to discover it was actually Night Moves.

For years I thought big ole jet airliner was big ole jet had a light on

Just recently found out that it's not: I am the Sun, I am the air...
but actually: I am the son, I am the heir, of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

The first time I heard Night Moves, I thought they were singing "diapers" and just figured it was about what happens after you have teenage sex.
