Misheard lyrics

Just a dumb idea I had. The first example is something that actually popped into my mind when I heard the song, so I started thinking about others, and before long I had made this. Just being silly with the songs. If you know the song it probably makes more sense. If I did this well enough maybe you'll think of my version next time you hear the song.

"Don Money's not looking for the cure. Don Money's not concerned about the sick among the pure . . ." (Nine Inch Nails


"Then I saw her face, and she looked like Tom Seaver. Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer . . ." (Monkees)

I actually thought of this one from an Ozzy song called "Believer" which also has the line "I'm a believer" but I went with the song that is much more well known.

"Last dance with Johnny Sain, one more time to kill the pain . . ." (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers


"Showin' how funky and strong is your fight, it doesn't matter to Adam Wainwright." (Michael Jackson)


"Have some more chicken, have some more pie, it doesn't matter, they're Baked like McBride." (Weird Al Yankovic)


"New York on Sunday, big city taking a nap. Slow down, it's Sunday, life's a ball, give the ball, to JA Happ . . ." (Bobby Darin)

A Yankee Stadium staple on Sunday afternoon games.

 

"Ground Control to Jake DeGrom, commencing countdown, engines on . . . " (David Bowie

"Yeek yeek woop woop! Why you all in my ear? Talking a whole bunch of sh* about the Brewers' Rob Deer?" (Ludacris)


"They'll tell you black is really white, the moon is just the sun at night. And then you walk in golden halls with former Dodger Roy Lee Walls . . . " (Black Sabbath)

Ronnie James Dio is my all-time favorite singer.

 

"It'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you, brought to you courtesy of the red Vida Blue." (Toby Keith)

"No more Mr. Nice Guy, no more Mr. Clean. No more Mr. Nice Guy, he's sick like Shawn Green." (Alice Cooper)


"Despite all my rage, I still have this card of Wayne Cage." (Smashing Pumpkins


"I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now. I told them I had ridden shooting stars and said I'd show Steve Howe." (Ozzy Osbourne)


"You got hit, and you should've known better. Faster we run, pitch like Cy Young . . " (Alice in Chains)

I was trying to do the great old Black Sabbath song "Die Young", but it wasn't really working. "Die Young" and "Cy Young" worked too well not to include somehow. Cy Young lived to be 88.

"Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner, see the eyes of Diego Segui. Mesmerizes one of the wedding guests, stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea . . ." (Iron Maiden)

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. Diego Segui was the only man to play for both Seattle teams, and was known as "The Ancient Mariner" when he returned to Seattle in 1977.

  1. It's certainly early, but this is the funniest post I've seen this year so far! "Johnny Sain's Last Dance" is my favorite.
