Ellis Paul Discussion

Folks,

Well, since we opened this can of worms in another thread today, I'll get things started here.

Actually the first thing that popped into my head is a misinterpreted lyric, rather than one that was misheard. Raised a Catholic, when I heard the line about Boys Town in the song Medicine, I could never figure out why Father Flanagan's boys were partying 'round the clock.

In boys town, they party ‘round the clock.
The clock is spinning backwards.
The jesters doubletalk.

Much later I found out that boys town was a reference to the gay community. What can I say? I've lead a sheltered life.

We really need to discuss ALL the lyrics in this song!

my biggest blunder is the doby gray song, drift away.

i spent my entire childhood singing "gimme the peapods and save my soul"

the correct, yet vegetable free lyrics are "give me the beat boys and free my soul"

BIG CAN OF WORMS KAREN..

I think the first one I remember is Carly Simon,, "grounds in my coffee" hey I was young, didn't drink coffee at the time..only knew I heard my parents always talking about "save the coffee grounds for the garden, or empty the coffee grounds ....


♪♪ Grounds in my coffee, grounds in my coffee your so vein ♪♪

Oops .Karen I didn't see that this was suppose to be for EPs lyrics.. I thought it was in general.. sorry...

Not so sure of how many other EP lyrics I have misheard.

from TWASD drop of cold rain, tropical rain... (either works)

you say po-tae-to I say po-tat-to

Patti and all,

No problem! I simply moved the thread here to the Say Something forum so we can open up the discussion to include anyone.

Okay guys and gals. Let 'er rip!

I always heard "it's a happenin enchilada and ya think you're gonna drown" when clearly "it's a half an inch of water"

That's The Way That The World Goes 'Round
