1959, on first hearing, sounded like it contained the lines 'and it feels like meat again' and 'like a way big hunk of lime'.

A friend heard a line in More as 'why you've got to be surrounded, Mandy' (that being my name, I guess I was controlling her mind at the time).

That was it.

I knew it was entertainingly close to being official.

Does this useless info stay in your head forever?

I just remebered one (I was listening to the song this morning).

In Detonation Boulevard I first thought that the line "I caught something weird in Encenada" said "I got something weird in my enchilada". :oops:

I was originally planning to name my HL account user "Walter Wall"...

Sorry for resurecting an old thread, I guess. :oops:

Don't worry about it. 8) It's good to get the occasional oldie thrown into the mix

And I was round someone's house the other day and it came on the radio...
how we laughed...

Diana Ross - Chain Reaction (no.1 hit written by the Bee Gees, no less)
there's a line that goes
"Tell Eddie Waring there ain't no salvation"
except it doesn't obviously.
(it's boringly "To anywhere and there aint no salvation")

From memory Uncle Eddie had been the subject of some allegations or controversy around the time, so it almost seemed plausible, although ridiculous...

Gosh. Just re-read that. That's a bit mucky

The idea of Diana Ross singing about Eddie Waring is possibly one of the funniest things ever.

Someone I know genuinely thought the Rolf Harris song ' Sun Arise ' was in fact called 'Thunder Thighs'

My two favourites are:

Lament - The Cure.

"And oh the smell as candles die" = "And oh the smell as camels die."

:lol:

Muscle In Plastic - Bauhaus

"I've got nothing, nothing to lose" = "like a velvet, velvet balloon."

:?
