Dawanawanawanawana

She fucks, she fucks, she fucks

That was an actual mishearing by my girlfriend a while back, and now I can't listen to that song without hearing "John Cage". I think it improves the song vastly. Like, why no christmas for John Cage? What did he ever do to make the naughty list?

Crap, a kid in my freshman dorm used to have a complete lyric for Radiohead's Creep called "Cock". I wish I could remember all of it (no wait, maybe I don't). The chorus:

Suck my cock
Lick my scrotum
Wrap your lips around my balls
I want you to blow me

Oh, Oh,

I first heard "bus ride is too slow, they blast out the disco on the radio" from the Ramones' "Rockaway Beach" as: "boys' rock is too slow, try to find some disco on the radio," which I like even better. The whole song has some fantastic lyrics though.

― Mike O. (Mike Ouderkirk), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 02:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Kraftwerk's "Computer World":

"Interpol, and Deutsche Rock, FBI and Scott La Rock"

this is how I heard it first anyway.
evoking Scott brings it full circle even though he was nobody at the time obv. As for changing "Bank" to "Rock", it makes it symmetrical but I'm not married to it.

I usually do this when it sounds like someone is singing "shit" or "fuck" but they're actually not..

Boringly enough, the only example I can think of right now is Live "The Dolphin's Cry" .. "Love will lead us, alright, love will leave your shit with me.."

I'm tired but we won't sleep at all

Throw your body overboard
And kick you up the arse"

though we really did try to play it
a ball inside is too loud
