I once new someone that never new the chorus to "Paradise City" by Guns-n-Roses. I couldn't believe it. He always thought it was "take me down to the very last city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty...".
This topic comes up a few times a year. I remember starting a thread when I found the following site : http://www.amiright.com/ I always heard the lyrics to Manfred Mann's song as "wrapped up like a douche and then I rode her in the night", but I nearly split my side reading some of these : http://www.amiright.com/misheard/artist/manfredmann.shtml
In 50 Cent's "In da club," does he say: "I've been hit with a few shells, but I don't walk with a limp?" or "I've been hit with a few shells, and now I walk with a limp?" I say the first one, but I have seen lyrics sites that say both...
Ok. I found the lyrics, but can't for the life of me figure out how to sing it. Dexy's midnight runners must have had about 20 drunk people singing all over each other, yet it worked. "Come On Eileen" Poor old Johnny Ray Sounded sad upon the radio Moved a million hearts in mono Our mothers cried Sang along, who'd blame them Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever Go toora loora toora loo rye aye And we can sing just like our fathers [Chorus:] Come on Eileen, oh I swear (what he means) At this moment, you mean everything With you in that dress my thoughts I confess Verge on dirty Ah come on Eileen These people round here wear beaten down eyes Sunk in smoke dried faces They're so resigned to what their fate is But not us (no never), no not us (no never) We are far too young and clever Remember Go toora loora toora loo rye aye Eileen I'll hum this tune forever Come on Eileen oh I swear (what he means) Ah come on, let's take off everything That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes) Ah come on let's, Ah come on Eileen That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes) Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen Please... Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye Toora toora-too-loora Now you have grown, now you have shown, oh Eileen Come on Eileen, these things they are real and I know how you feel Now I must say more than ever things round here have changed Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye
One of the girls I live with and I have been killing ourselves over this one for half an hour....the best, I highly recommend this, are the zoological suggestions offered as alternate lyrics for the Clash's 'Rock the Casbah." Seriously funny.
That's correct. Originally it's based on a different phrase which did indeed mean pass the joint. But they had to change the lyrics and chose duchie, which is a bread item.
yeah pass the duchie means pass the joint. The band that made that song is made of a group of children. They originally were supposed to sing pass the "cuchie" which really means pass the pot, but had to change it because it wasn't morally right being that they were a group of kids. They changed it to pass the "duchie" which means pot also but its a different meaning than the other. Duchie means frying pan pot not mar1juana pot. Dont ask me how I knew that.
I've heard several different versions of "Pass The Duchie", but the one that most of us early MTV viewers saw was done by "Musical Youth".
You are correct sir. As all good reggae songs are, the original was about da ganja! During the winter of 1982, the group Musical Youth issued one of the fastest selling singles of the year in "Pass the Dutchie". Based on the Mighty Diamonds' "Pass the Kouchie" (a song about mar1juana), the title had been subtly altered to feature the patois 'Dutchie'(literally a 'cooking pot'). Rasta/Patois Dictionary Kouchie bowl of a chalice or chillum pipe (1) Chalice or Chillum a pipe for smoking herb, usually made from coconut shell or Chalewa and tubing, used ritually by Rastas (1) Dutchy dutch cooking pot, low round-bottomed heavy pot.

okay... this song came out a while ago by arguably the best female rapper ever, missy elliott. the song is called "work it". i can understand the lyrics word for word, but i don't understand what she means on one of the lines... I'd like to get to know ya, so I can show ya Put the ***** on ya, like I told ya Gimme all your numbers so I can phone ya Your girl acting stank than call me o-vah Not on the bed, lay me on your so-fa Call before you come, I need to shave my ch*-cha You do or you don't or you will or you won't cha Go downtown and eat it like a vul-cha that's the line... "go downtown and eat it like a vul-cha (vulture)." now, from my understanding a vulture tends to eat carrion... so is she saying eat it "as if it were dead flesh"? that's kinda sick. maybe i'm just deciphering (sp?) the lyrics too much.
Now I can rest easy. Everytime I heard that song I said to myself, "Is he saying douche, what does that mean?" I looked up the lyrics to the song and they are pretty tripped out. The scene in Blow is awesome, but so was the whole movie.
I've always liked that Creedence Clearwater Revival song that goes, "...there's a bathroom on the right."
