sometimes when i make my own absurd associations with a lyric, a completely heartfelt, straightforward song ends up getting ruined because i can't NOT think it's funny..
does that ever happen to you?
for example:
there's a line in Neil Young's "Daddy Went Walkin'" where he says "Daddy's gettin' wood with a barn yard cat"..
and while i know that literally means gathering firewood with a cat nearby, i can't help but make other associations.. and everytime, the song is ruined.
yes, i'm 15 years old.

"i only believe in bad" and " have you afraid" - classic brazilian black metal lyrics from Sarcofago (i think - it might have been some obscure east-european band too, but i think it's sarcofago) |

In Handel's Messiah there's a line that goes "All us like sheep have gone astray" which is fine, but when he starts getting into his canons and inventions and such, the chorus ends up singing "All us like sheep, all us like sheep, all us like sheep..."

haha yeah, I'll go along with that. The music isn't actually half bad, but they are 1966 California obsessed monkeys/monkees (arf!) and, as such, suck.
They got a ranch they call No. 51! |

| Well, it's not from a song, but from some insurance companies radio ad copy, which goes: " ..our broad provider network offers a wide variety of services to our members..." |

yeah, are they allowed to actually take a whole line from a monkees' song without being sued? in that case i could be very rich by now. all i need is someone to compose some music,sing, and play some instruments for me. anyone wanna start a band?

In 'The Snake' (new FB song) the first lines sound like:
"Well i'm a snake, oh yes, embarrasment."
heh..i'm not crazy about this song either.. |

There was a song in the 80s, I think by Haircut 100, a godawful band incidentally, which went something like:
"Hello, Hello - are you feeling fine?
hello, hello - are you feeling mine?"

There's a line in Goodbye Lorraine I keep hearing as "she said you have no hardon till..." -- but I won't post the real words for those who don't wanna know yet...

| Not quite the same, but the first few times I listened to COR the song, I thought he was singing "Built-in rocket tomatoes" where he really sings "Melting rock into metal". I just thought it was a bizarre sci-fi B-movie reference. |

| "built-in rocket tomatoes" sounds like a fantastic concept. I'd buy them. |
