Re: Misheard Lyrics 2.0
I used to think "Slime Creatures From Outer Space" was called "Science Teachers From Outer Space," before I, you know, read the track listing on Dare to Be Stupid.

"Where the cows are oh-so fluffy!" in Albuquerque
instead of "the towels are..." you get the point.
One makes more sense s
o of course I heard it the other way!

From Buy Me a Condo:
Jah, jah, jah,
Life is so very hard
I need a jah jah jahb,
to cruise me in my backyard
And yes, I only just figured out the real lyric
Jah, jah, jah,

You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

Re: Misheard Lyrics 2.0
I know I'm probably not the only one, but I always thought the lyrics to "Fat" went "because I'm fat, I'm fat, Shamu (I'm really really fat)." Because Sea World's Shamu is arguably the most famous whale(s) (as if there's only been one Shamu this entire time) and "whale" is a common insult for the overweight. "Ham on" just doesn't seem as clever.

Re: Misheard Lyrics 2.0
Well, the whole bit isn't just "ham on," but "Ham on ham on ham on whole wheat, all right!" The makings of a rather large sandwich. And the lyrics are parodying the original lyrics of "Come on, come on, lay it on me, all right." So personally, I think it's pretty clever.JohnnyLurg wrote:I know I'm probably not the only one, but I always thought the lyrics to "Fat" went "because I'm fat, I'm fat, Shamu (I'm really really fat)."

Re: Misheard Lyrics 2.0
I never thought of it like a sandwich with all those layers of ham, ie "ham on ham on ham on whole wheat". That's an interesting/funny read! I always thought of it just like "ham on... whole wheat" and he was just repeating the ham part, ie come on, come on, come on.
I couldn't tell a dirt clod from a plate of caviar.

For the longest time, I heard, "How does the bacon feel?" in Mr. Popeil.

Re: Misheard Lyrics 2.0
In place of what? To this day, I think "Mr. Popeil" is the only Weird Al song I know of with a couple of lyrics that I STILL mishear/don't understand.
