Is it... "never had to knock on wood", meaning he has never had to physically knock on wood with his hand, or, "never had to. Knock on wood.", meaning he has never had to, so knock on wood. That period is important sport spurts fans.

Coast to Coast
LA to Chicago
Western Maine...


Never examined the inconsistency of that for about,what, 25 years? I don't even know what is in Western Maine. Probably lovely, but less than cosmopolitan.

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son


you need better sound system

It always disturbed me that she referred to Chicago as a coast. I guess technically we have the Lake Michigan shores. Chica-go-go!

We used to have arguments with the kids across the street about whether it was "Way Down South" or "Lay Down Sally."

The 70s were pretty cool....I was too young then to experience that much of it, unfortunately.

To make JORR happy, I'll post something I've personally misheard.

I swore in the song Elderly Woman Behind The Counter in A Small Town from Pearl Jam that Eddie says, "I swear I recognize your breasts". And if you think of it, I think it makes sense, or I just have looked at boobs too much in my lifetime.



Yup I think everyone heard that!


I am nominating everything Anthony Kiedis sings. I mean a lot of it is gibberish but even the real words that aren't gibberish can be difficult to understand.

From "One Love" by Bob Marley

Lets get together to fight this unholy ambiguity

Still don't know what it really is, not going to look it up, don't care, that's better.

And there's a woman
In the kitchen
Cleanin' up the evenin' slop
And he looks at her and says
"Hey, Darlin', I remember when you could starve a cloud."

I used to hang out with this chick who thought the lyrics in the slow break in "Panama" were:

Reach down between my legs, you easy sleazebag...

Hell, that's actually a better lyric!

Hootie and the Blowfish, Let Her Cry

She says hold my lamppost

I cant imagine that is the real lyric but its certainly the one I always sing and have been made fun of for it on more than one occasion singing along in the car.

I feel stupid after just realizing I’ve had the lyrics to one of my all-time favs, Take the Long Way Home (Supertramp) wrong this entire time.

Actual lyrics:
So you think you’re a Romeo
Playing a part in a picture show

My lyrics for the past 42 years:
So you think you’re a Romeo
Bang a bod in a picture show

I'm not much of a Cure fan. Whenever I've heard this lyric

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream

I always heard

You
Stranger Danger

Was driving up to Michigan last week and my wife corrected my idiocy.

All-American Rejects - move along. Driving with my third grader and he finally speaks up, what’s this guys deal with mowing the lawn. I can no longer hear anything except

When all you got to keep is strong
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn just to make it through
Mow the lawn
Mow the lawn
