What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics.

The classic, which suposedly puzzled millions, was the opening song to the TV series, "All In the Family." The last bit of the song went ... "Didn't need a welfare state ... Everybody pulled their weight ... Gee our old La Salle great ... Those Were the Days." The song was actually re-recorded and overly enuciated a few seasons later, because nobody could decipher the La Salle line.

It's "Revved up like a deuce" (deuce coupe).

I love this one:
"Big Old Jedi Wino, don't carry me too far away!"

John Prine tells a story about a woman coming up to him in a club and asking him to sing the song about the "Happy Enchilada." When he told her that he didn't know such a song and asked her how it went, she said "you know - 'It's a happy enchilada and you think you're gonna drown.'" The lyric is "It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. That's the way that the world goes 'round."

"Louie, Louie"... many-a things heard in there.

One of my best friends and I are Rock and Roll trivia people..and remember who wrote what, when and what they were wearing when they did it....drives our friends crazy.

But...one song took us forever to figure out a line in. It's the opening line from the Beach Boys "Help Me Ronda"

"Well since you put me down, I've been mumble, muble etc...

We finally figured out it was..."Well since you put me down, I've been out doin in my head"......

For several years we though they were saying "...been outa tune in my head"..

Fun thread..
