I will say that one example for all is Abba’s “Mamma Mia” which I interpreted the beginning of chorus “Mamma mia, we are collagen” and the beginning of the second part of it “He’ll something broken hardly”. Don’t ask past me why I had to make it about intercellular matrix.
Blinded by the light . To me it always just sounds like he is saying dressed up like a douche , I can’t even remember what the actual lyrics are.
Revved up like a Deuce, another runner in the night.
I always hear “ripped up like a douche”
I always heard wrapped up like a douche another roamer in the night
Dirty deeds THUNDER CHIEF
Dirty Jeans and the Thunder Chief
Thunder cheeks works as well and is dirtier.
Don’t tell your friends about the tour bus.
I left some brains down in Africa.
She was a fax machine she kept her modem clean.
She was a fax machine she kept her modem clean.
That’s a legit start to a Weird Al song right there!
… She was the best damn printer that I EVER seen!
Real lyrics? I guess the second is Toto’s famous ‘I bless the rains down in Africa’, but the others?
The third one is AC/DC. You shook me all night long.
The first is “don’t tell your friends about the two of us” from I’m not in love, 10cc.
Might just be my humour, but I do wonder why he didn’t their friends to know about the tour bus. What did he do it it?

The last one was already guessed - AC /DC - You shook me all night long.
“I’m blue, da ba de da ba die…”
“I’m blue, I would beat off a guy…”
You’ll hear that every time now, you’re welcome.
A Seattle radio station had a PSA at the time after listener feedback: “He is not saying ‘I’m in need of a guy’… not that there’s anything wrong with that kind of lifestyle”.
Blinded by the light - Bruce Springsteen
“Like a douche in the night”
I was all set to correct you. Never realized the Manfred Mann version was a cover.
Jimi Hendrix - “‘scuse me while I kiss this guy!”
I’m suddenly feeling revved up like a douche.
That one Taylor Swift song about being Starbucks Lovers
Blank Space. And she does have a ‘lovely Starbucks lovers’, as least as I first heard it. For anyone who doesn’t know, it’s actually a ‘long list of ex lovers’.
Holy shit… Are you telling me it’s not “gotta love those Starbucks lovers, they’ll tell you I’m insane?”
I have a serious problem with understanding lyrics in songs. I look them up when I don’t quite understand what is being said and I realize I didn’t even fully comprehend half of the verses to begin with. It’s like musical dyslexia or something.
It’s really common, it’s not just you. Singers sing much more indistinctly than they talk, and it’s common enough it’s been given a name.
Omg. I thought I was the only one that heard that!
Even on Taylor’s Version, it still sounds like “Starbucks Lovers”.
Hold me closer, Tony Danza / Countin’ head lice on the highway.

My wife thought it was
“All we are is ducks in the wind”
-dust in the wind
This is just delightful.
ZZ Top - Pearl Necklace. I always hear “she wanna pearl necklace” as “she wanna put on Netflix”.
🎼 Blinded by the light / Wrapped up like a douche / A motor homer in the night 🎶
The actual lyrics are:
Blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
the deuce is a car BTW for anyone curious.
I thought it was ‘Blinded by the light, when I’m like this, you’re the one I trust’. Which song are you referencing? Not Blinding Lights by the Weekend?
Blinded By the Light by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band
