Dessert…..with Cool Whip!

Well, I’ll be having that image in my head for the rest of the day.

Cool Whip with much aspiration on the H in “whip” (Stewie Griffin, everybody)?

Whip or Hwhip?

Never play “Jeopardy!” when you’re hungry.

That’s just what the voices down the corridor think.

Mondegreen; good one….haven’t heard this before.

“’scuse me while I kiss this guy….”

I’m thinking of the album cover of Herb Alpert’s “Whipped Cream and Other Delights”.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

Great, now I have that song stuck in my head… :P :P :P

As misheard lyrics go, this can’t be a common one.

Wrong. Do not pass GO do not collect 800$

Oh So close….

Missed it by that much.

I thought it was ‘one smell of flea gas rising up through the air’…

“You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave!”

Ah… the pesky mondegreen. For those unfamiliar with the term it is a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase in a way that gives it a new meaning, most often created by a person listening to a poem or a song; the listener, being unable to hear a lyric clearly, substitutes words that sound similar and make some kind of sense. American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in 1954, writing that as a girl, when her mother read to her from Thomas Percy’s 1765 book Reliques of Ancient English Poetry, she had misheard the lyric “layd him on the green” as “Lady Mondegreen”. [Compliments of Wikipedia].

mondegreen for sure, although it was the “warm smell of colitas” line that puzzled me for years… not being from California

I have lately been hearing a song about a “Mexican Monkey”, then I saw that the title was “All night to get lucky” in the radio’s data field.

Each to his own way I’ll go mine

Best of luck with what you find

But for your own sake remember times

We used to know

- I. S. Anderson

sorry to be so late, but " Shoe " is extraordinarily wonderful, every day- the keenest of wit and humor; thank you for your talent

No one will be “topping” that punchline!

saw them live back in the day

Jimi Hendrix: ’scuse me while I kiss this guy…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Cola is the big arm-length stalk of cannabis flowers and colita is an individual cannabis flower! So, the band is singing about the scent of flowers in the night air. Beautiful.
