And who can forget the classic "There's a bathroom on the right" (for "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise") and "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy" (for "'Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky")?
The Beatles' song "Michelle." I always thought the French lyrics "sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble" were actually saying "someday monkey won't play piano song."
I thought it was "Brenda Renetti" the first few dozens times I heard that song, but after that, I figured it out, although I have to think every time I hear it.
Until, uh, last night I thought that Belle and Sebastian were singing about louvredors rather than "louvre doors:"
"Now the centre of my so called being is
The space between your bed and wardrobe with the louvre doors"
I guess I kind of pictured there being a group of louvredors (like matadors?) being in that space. It wasn't until I went to look up 'louvredor' that I realized there was no such thing.
"Every time you go away, you take a peice of meat with you." Is how a 3-year old sang it. It should be, "Everytime you go away, you take a peice of me with you" artist, Paul Young also Hall and Oats sang it.

brenda renetti (instead of brenda and eddie in billy joel's 'scenes from an italian restaurant')

Ha! Those are fantastic. Poor little monkey.
I used to think (until, like, a few weeks ago) that that same line in "Michelle" started "sunday, monday..."

"It's the dawning of the age of aquariums..." So I furnished my place with fresh & salt water aquariums to impress my dates. They weren't.
