The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for June 25, 2012

And how well they succeeded!

All the pipes on a dragster resemble a calliope.

What a Boss comic!

I heard it was “revved up like a deuce”, as in a little deuce coupe.

’Scuse me, while I kiss this guy!

You mean all these years I wasn’t the only one mumbling the line as I sang along to the radio?

“Tied up like a douche, a roly-poly of delight”

Deja-VU! Had this conversation LAST Night when the song came on the car radio!

Some of the most popular songs have lines that make no sense. I found it humorous the way some people would try to find deep meaning in these nonsensical lines. Drugs always helped in this thought process.

I’ll bet it was tough getting that piano down the basement.

revved up not racked up

In Australia they thought the song title of the Go Go’s song was Arlis the Seal.

I always thought it was: blinded by lightbacked up like doosh-in in the roar-man of the night

Which one has the silicone sister?

“Since she put me down there’s been owls puking in my head”..“Help me Rhonda” as interpereted by Dave Barry

Hmm didn’t do the strike through, wonder what that’s about.

For years I thought Beck’s “Loser” was “soiled from head to toe”, it was only seven years ago I saw it’s really “soy un pedredor” (sp?)

Given that this song was originally written by Springsteen, which I did not know until I looked this up online today, thanks gentlemen, I appreciate the New Jersey reference. And it’s Revved up like a deuce, as sung by Mangred Mann, and Cut loose like a deuce as song by the Boss. Either way, I agree with the general online concensus that it was a refrence to speeding like a car, ie. The Litte Deuce Coop the Beach Boys made famous.

Manfred, and Coupe

That must be exactly how that bit of business went down.

What’s the real line for “Gave my anus a curly whirly”?

Someone shaved my wife tonight….

How many people thought the line in french in Games without Frontiers by Peter Gabriel was someing much ruder (Jeu sans frontier)?

“Don’t Go Out Tonight Cause It’s Bound To Take Your Life There’s A Bathroom On The Right”

It’s “There’s a BAD MOON ON THE RISE”

Kid’s Lord’s Prayer:Our father who art in HeavenHoward be thy name…

Someone did a comedy skit on TV about this. That song never drove me as crazy as The Hollies Long Cool Woman did! It took years before I learned saturni Iwen dowtow…was actually Saturday night I went downtown. :D

Nightingales & Bombers came out whilst I was in the army overseas and God knows I tried to find something cool about it but lo it twas not to be. The only song that sucks more that this one is Don McLeans Bye Bye Miss American Pie. Makes me wanna use the radio for target practice.I didn’t know Bruce owned a blue t-shirt. Weren’t they all white, all white, blinded by the white…

Back about 1970, I joined this program that sent me a single record each month. I was supposed to listen to the record and write my opinion on whether it would be a hit, and answer a short questionaire.Blinded By the Light was the only song I remember and I didn’t like it, I wish I had saved those records, they are surely collectors items.

I believe that was his point, Tigger. Most everyone hears it as “kiss this guy.” There’s even a website full of mondegreens called kissthisguy.com.

A mondegreen is the mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase as a result of near-homophony, in a way that gives it a new meaning. It most commonly is applied to a line in a poem or a lyric in a song.12 American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in her essay “The Death of Lady Mondegreen,” published in Harper’s Magazine in November 1954.3 “Mondegreen” was included in the 2000 edition of the Random House Webster’s College Dictionary. Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary added the word in 2008.45 The phenomenon is not limited to English, with examples cited by Fyodor Dostoyevsky,6 in the Hebrew song Háva Nagíla (“Let’s Be Happy”),7 and in Bollywood movies.8

♫Oh,Mondegreen, Oh,Mondegreen, How funny are your misreads?♫

next “line” not next verse.

LOL! Considering the song was named “Bad Moon on the Rise,” that’s hysterical.

One of my buddies in high school and I argued/discussed for hours what those words were. If we’d only known that they intended for us to never know…..

yehhh, the bathroom’s on the right
