Me ears are alight......
Then there's Englebert Humperdinck's kitchen sink classic.
Please degrease me, let me flow.
Take my hand, I'm a strangeShake my gland, I'm a strange-looking parasiter in paradiselittle parasite
Hey ho, hey hoI thought the traditional lyrics were
It's off to work we go
With a shovel and a pick and a rhubarb stick
Then there's Englebert Humperdinck's kitchen sink classic.
Please degrease me, let me flow.
I'll just leave this one here....
Legend.

I also thought Catch Feels was catch fish!!I think most people did :)
All we de is get screwed up by other people's flawsAnd not:
All we do is get screwed up on other people's floors
That reminds me...
Substituting "washing machine" for "silver machine" in the classic Hawkwind ditty.
Hedgehogs roasting on an open fire...
Not quite in the original sense, but when a song uses the word "eyes" it can be educational to substitute "nose", e.g.
When I look into your nose
I see my destiny.
...
Can't take my nose off you.
Etc. Other organs may also yield interesting results. Or not.
And the world, the world turns to crap
"Jack Frost roasting on an open fire..."
I've just discovered that 60s song is actually "Come on Sloopy". I always thought they were singing about everyone's favourite kennel-lounging beagle.

I really have been mishearing it.
I thought it was "Come on Irene."(click to show/hide)
So many tangled songs in so few posts! Not only is it "Hang on Sloopy" rather than "Come on Sloopy" (let alone Snoopy), it's "Come on Eileen" not "Irene". ;)Probably onomatopoeic.
Still leaves me wondering where the name "Sloopy" came from.

You're living in thought sorepeated three times rather than "You live in a foxhole" or even "You're livin' in Vauxhall"
Super Trouper recalls Abba's early days when one of the band members worked as a supermarket delivery driver to make ends meet:
I was picking nearly everything
When I called you last night from Tesco
All I do is ring and ring and ring
Wishing every door was as fast, so.
Yesterday DJ Random played Janis Joplin singing "Me & Bobby McGee". I'm afraid I substituted the word "sell" for "lose" in the line "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to...", because of Billy Bragg's "Marching Song Of The Covert Battalions".

A certain Led Zeppelin ditty:
"And she's a buying a stairlift from Stannah"
Catch the wind - Donovan
I always thought it was :-
In the chilly autumn mist.....
In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind
Have we had "I will go down with the shit" by Dildo?
It's just, a little thrush,
Feels like an itch,
Every time we touch...

;D Have you seen any of Daryl Hall's clips on you tube? He gets some really good people together, with a terrific drummer. I think the series is called Daryl's House.Daryl's House is a fine thing, well worth looking up on Youtube.
Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs,
Gonna use my style, gonna use my sausage...
