Comments on Confession

Wait . . . the Knack had another song?

That was the song that introduced me to the idea of sitting on someone's face. Yay the 80s!

I thought the lyrics to 'Bette Davis Eyes' that go, "All the boys think she's a spy" were "All the boys think she's a spaz". Until LAST YEAR. (The edification of karaoke - "It's 'spaz', isn't it?")

It was a much more interesting song the way I had it before, with this self-image of the central character as a seductress actually being a self-delusion.

I don't care, it's spaz. I spilled my coffee on the computer typing that in so I'm probably just projecting.

I used to think that the lyrics to Huey Lewis and the News’ song “The Heart of Rock and Roll” went:


'…The heart of rock and roll is in Cleveland!


And after what I say I believe em…'


Instead of:


'…The heart of rock and roll is is still beating…'


This makes perfect sense as everyone knows that Cleveland houses the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" They sing "In the meadow we can build a snowman. We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown."
As a kid I had no idea what a Parson was. I thought that they were singing "We'll pretend that he is partly brown"
I thought that was quite tolerant for the 50's. An imaginary mulatto snowman friend.

It's not "spaz?" Oh shit.

A friend told me he thought the lyrics to that Alanis Morisette song "You oughta know" were "the cross eyed bear that you gave to me" instead of "the cross I bear that you gave to me." I've never heard it another way since.
And don't forget about Son Volt's Drown where "your Cousin It drowns, didn't want to turn away." I hated that hairy bastard anyway.

In "Heart of Rock and Roll", they used to dupe in Huey shouting "Vancouver" when they'd play it on the radio. Aside from it being an incredibly shitty song, that has to elevate it to worst song ever.

I used to love Journey's "Don't Stop Bleedin'", but . . . .

And Asia had a great song called "He loves the mormons"

I always has that as "It was the heat of the mormons"

I always liked that Knack song...

Hmmm. Could be. As a people i guess they are pretty steamy, what with the polygamy and all.
Not like those cold, clammy presbyterians.

Here's at least one SLOG entry that wasn't ripped from the pages of the P-I.

Late to the comment party, but here's mine --

Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It?"

She says: "You must understand how the touch of your hand makes my pulse react."

I heard: "You must understand how the touch of your hand makes my poultry act."

when i was a kid, me and my friend Andy used to think that in the Aersosmith song, "dude looks like a lady," he was actually saying, "do the naked lady"

I knew a guy who when they would sing in church "Lead On Oh King Eternal" he thought they said "Lead On Oh Kinky Turtle."

That's a really lousy confession...

Let's hear some dirt.

@5, Yeah, I always thought it was "in Cleveland" too.

Both interpretations make sense, though.
