    In the spirit of St Patrick's day:

    "Celtic Symphony"

    <blockquote>it says oh ah up the ra, say ooh ah up the ra
    it says oh ah up the ra, say ooh ah up the ra
    it says oh ah up the ra, say ooh ah up the ra
    it says oh ah up the ra, say ooh ah up the ra</blockquote>

    My mind wants to sing that has "it says, ooo ah up your ass, say ooo ah up your ass"

    Is www.kissthisguy.com still around? That was a pretty funny site for misinterpreted lyrics.

    There's an Eddie Money song where I swear he's singing "I think I'm in love . . . But I can't get it up"

    "We gonna walk down to K-Mart
    and buy some shoes,
    They only cost a dollar"

    There was a book that came out several years ago that was all about misquoted song lyrics. I think the title of it was called "Scuse me, while I kiss this guy"

    I think "Bathroom on the Right" has to be the alltime classic.

    Personally, I always thought that song that Uncle Cracker just remade had the line "give me the beaCH boys to freeze my soul..."

    across already said the greatest one of all time in Manfred Mann's version of "Blinded by the Light".

    However, if anyone can tell me what the hell Ed Vedder is saying besides "Even Flow" in the song, "Even Flow", I would like to know.

    Even Flow

    Freezing. Rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again.
    Oh, feeling maybe he'll see a little better set a days. Ooh yeah.
    Oh, hand out. Faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar. Ooh.
    Oh, dark grin. He can't help when his happy looks insane. Aah.

    Even flow. Thoughts arrive like butterflies. Yeah.
    Oh, he don't know so he chases them away-yea. Ohh.
    Oh, someday, yea, he'll begin his life again.
    Life again. Life again.

    Kneeling. Looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read.
    Oh, praying now to something that has never showed him anything. Never will.
    Oh, feeling. Understands the weather of the winters on its way. Yeah.
    Oh, ceilings. Few and far between all the legal halls of shame. Yeah.

    Even flow. Thoughts arrive like butterflies. Yeah.
    Oh, he don't know so he chases them away yea.
    Oh, someday, yea, he'll begin his life again. Yeah.
    Oh, whispering hands gently lead him away.
    Lead him away. Him away. Yeah.
    Woo... ah-yeah. Let me introduce you to Michael.

    Even flow. Thoughts arrive like butterflies. Yeah.
    Oh, he don't know so he chases them away-yea. Ohh.
    Someday, yeah, he'll begin his life again. Yeah, ah.
    Whispering hands gently lead him away.
    Lead him away. Him away. Yeah.
    Woo. Uh huh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Gonna f**k it up again. Wooo.

    Uh, this is uh, a nice little ditty.

    "We don't have to take our clothes off,
    ... to have a good time"

    He was only talking about himself (or his date in the video).

    Odd that I started a thread about this very song and misunderstood lyrics a year or 2 ago.

    Blinded by the light...
    Wrapped up like a douche...
    And then I rode her in the night.

    :confused:

    :(
