Caption:


"Whurz the burdz?"


漏 Paul Handley

John Prine once told the story of a woman who kept requesting a song called The Happy Enchilada at a concert. Puzzled, he told her that he had never written a song about a happy enchilada. She argued with him that indeed he had.

To prove her point, she recited a line from the song. She said, you know, "it's a happy enchilada and you think you're gonna drown."

Laughing, John Prine told her that it was the song "That's The Way That The World Goes 'Round."

The line in question was: It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. That's the way that the world goes 'round.

John Prine - Thats The Way That The World Goes Round

My family was riding in the car one night and singing along to 鈥淎frica鈥� by Toto, when my mom comes out with the lyric 鈥淣othing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do鈥�. (Real lyric, 鈥淣othing that a hundred men or more could ever do.鈥�) My brother and I still bring that up from time to time, and we all enjoy a good laugh.

And there are the two classics of misheard lyrics: 鈥淪ecret Asian Man鈥� for 鈥淪ecret Agent Man鈥� by Johnny Rivers and Electric Light Orchestra鈥檚 song 鈥淒on鈥檛 Bring Me Down鈥�. Everyone thought the singer was saying 鈥淏ruce鈥�, when it was actually the word 鈥淕rroosss鈥� (a play off a German word). ELO apparently has given up on the original lyric and now they sing 鈥淏ruce鈥� whenever they do it live.

Anne - I am not joking when I tell you this is the first I realised it is not men on Mars!!!!!

LOL! We may all find out we've been singing the wrong words to one song or another by the end of the show tomorrow...

听
The revelation that Bruce is grroosss will set the cat among the burdz...

One for The Daughter...

Run DMC vs Jason Nevins - 'It's Like That (it's just the wey hey hey)'

When l was younger so much younger than today I was overheard singing...

"She said the man in the cavalier suit was a spy"

Okay, that joke isn't funny anymore!

Why is there no tracklisting of tonight's show available? Does JZ know about this?

I hope he doesn't play Mulligan's Tyres again



"....far have I travelled,
and much have I seen..."

#3 like stevie wonders concert in china. A wummin in the front row kept asking him to play a jazz chord. After every song she shouted for it. Eventually he plsyed her some jazz chords but she still kept shouting play a jazz chord.

Eventually he gets her on stage and asks her if she can do a jazz chird herself to which she grabs the mike and sings... A jazz chord to say ah lavyoo




There's a similar cliff story but we won't go there.





And whats keeping adam with ken lee this time?

And why are my fingers to big for a phone keypad

听
Q. Why do gorillas have such big fingers?




A. Have you seen the size of their nostrils?

All in good time for Ken Lee, all in good time.

The Cliff song was We Dont Talk Any More, right?
I think its ok to say those words on the Beeb these days.

#5

Me too!
Thats ruined that classic for me now.
It was like discovering that its a man from Brussels and not Brazil in Down Under.

Move your jacket, Maroon 5

It's not generally known that Bonanza's Dan Blocker lived in the UK for a while and was befriended by the Spice Girls.

Emma B? It's Big Hoss - I'm a Londoner!

The chanting of the name 'Bruce' in that record was always a mystery and irritation to me. I didn't realise it wasn't about someone called Bruce, who was about to bring everyone down.

It's a pity because it spoils a right good tune.

regardez - youse

henri

Of course, everyone knows that Bonnie Tyler hated omelettes

Overheard my 12 year old singing along to Tori Amos, 'Silent All These Years' a few weeks back:

The line 'I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again' had become:

I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellow acne again....

maybe it's the fear of what's to come, poor thing...

#16!!! What!!! You are kidding. Brussels!! Bah.......

THURSDAY I suppose a truck is out of the question...



I still wince whenever I hear "We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy across the U.S.A."


Did anyone else think that Pig Pen was actually called Big Ben?

#23 out of the question in these high winds

I used to think that Johnny Ray's Walking My Baby Back Home was about a man pushing a pram.

Another for The Daughter...

The Kooks...'Naive' ("I know, she knows, I'm not from Nebraska")

Not a misheard lyric but a misheard band.

Rusted Root - Send Me On My Way

For years I thought this was David Byrne.

Struggling a bit on ideas tonight are we no?

Better shove in some of the old tried and trusted:

Jeux Sans Frontiers (SHe's So Popular) - Peter Gabriel
You To Me Are Everything - The Real Thing
(for the line - Now you've got the best of me, come on and take the vest off me)

And of course:

Fleet Foxes "Quiet Houses" - only has 9 words in the whole song so you wouldn't think there could be much confusion ... the children in the family are convinced that they are singing "doggy men" but I've just googled the lyrics and see that in fact they're singing "don't give in". It is known at the "doggy men" song in our household.

Elton John - Bennie and the Jets

She's got electric boobs??

Shocking 鈽�

Oh, and I'm not too happy about being left out of the Blog Panto this year.

:(

Cynthia told me that in All The Young Dudes Ian Hunter sings, 鈥淚s this concrete all around, or is it in my head?鈥�
I always thought it was, 鈥淗as that c**** been all around, or is it in my head?鈥�
Oh how we laughed.

c***
