"You should call Alice and request Urine Notion."
"WHAT?"
"You know... 'cause the CD's not out yet, but the radio stations have the single."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Alice... KLLC, the radio station. Ask them to play Urine Notion, you said like yesterday you wanted to hear it... you know, the new single by Fastball..."
*pause*
"YOU'RE AN OCEAN! You mean the song You're an Ocean!"
"Yeah, ok... I guess the lyrics make more sense now... I always thought it was just kinky."
--Two girls overheard at a cafe

Cool one Triticale.

Um, on topic? Um, gimme a minute. Uhhh. I thought the line "From a-courtin' too slow" in the song "On Top of Old Smoky" was "From a kiting too slow". Hey! I was 5. I didn't know what courting was, but I knew what kiting was.

Of course, the wonderful thing about modern music is that the idea of a song called Urine Notion is actually not all that far fetched.
Probably why I listen to Beethoven.

Y'know the Beach Boys song about Barbara-Ann?

I always thought they were singing "Bob Duran." Bob Duraaaan! He's my maaaan! Bob Duraaaaan!

*g* It makes more sense now, but it was more fun then.

My worst one was mistaking the line " .... and you come to me on a summer breeze...." for
"...and you come to me on a submarine..." ( how deep is your love- Bee Gees ) It always seemed to clash with the "smoothness" of the song, but whatever!

Actually, it was John Fred and his Playboy Band, a group from Texas named in honor of Bob Will's Texas Playboys. John Fred was also Right Said Fred's father.

Well, here's how I THINK the song You're An Ocean was spawned- in classic In Passsing style- NOTE- PURE PARODY, NO OFFENCE MEANT TO ANYONE

"Hey,you, do I look fat in this?"
Over-weight 20-year-old asking lead singer of Fastball.

*Thinking*

"You're an ocean, you're an ocean"
Lead singer of Fastball

*Overweight lady starts flinging punches at him*

"Settle down, settle down!"
Lead singer of Fastball.

"What's the commotion?"
Employee of the store

How about this for Lyric confusion: A group (well-known but I have no memory) heard the song "Lucy in disguise with Glasses" & heard "Lucy in the sky with glasses" & decided that made no sense so wrote a song called "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" & that song also became a hit.

Actually, somebody did record a song called "Secret Asian Man" as a parody.. mildly amusing.

Now... whenever I hear that song.. this is all I can think about.

One day I was telling a friend about it and we were talkin about similar experiences and one of us mentioned how we used to think "Secret Agent Man" was Secret *Asian* Man.

Not that anyone cares {;o) Just a bit of stupidity to brighten your day.
