bazooka 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2005 Sometimes when I hear a song on the radio, I will mentally play around with the lyrics. For example, you can exchange lyrics between Bob Dylan's I Shall Be Free and The Surfari's Surfer Joe. Well, ask me why I'm drunk alla time, It levels my head and eases my mind. I just walk along and stroll and sing, I see better days and I do better things. easily converts to Down in Doheny where the surfers all go There’s a big, bleached blondie named Surfer Joe. He’s got a bright green surfboard and a woody to match When he gets on the freeway, boy, is he hard to catch and vice versa. You might have to fudge a couple words here and there but the simple melodies make that one work quite well. Whole songs are a rarity. But sometimes a few lines jump out. For instance, I imagine The Stylistics' I'm Stone In Love With You If I could I'd like to be A great big movie star Overnight sensation Drive a big expensive car with a little help from The Beatles If I could I'd like to be A great big movie star Yellow matter custard, Dripping from a dead dog’s eye. Is this just further evidence that bazooka is completely nuts ? Or does anybody else have their own examples of this kind of stuff ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bazooka 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2005 Thanks Brad. I wanted to clear that up right from the get-go. Maybe I made this too complicated. Here's a simpler sample. on the radio: Guns N' Roses version of Knockin' On Heaven's Door. in bazooka's head: Gee, Axl Rose sounds remarkably like Carol Channing. And this reminds me of the Three Stooges because he just might be saying " N'yuk, n'yuk, n'yuk - in' on Heaven's Door ". Bob Dylan must be rolling over in his grave -- Oh wait, Dylan is still around. Well, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid must be rolling over in their graves. I oughta switch stations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tenacious_Peaches 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2005 You got me, Bazooka. I've actually done the Curly nyuk nyuk to "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". I purposely sing the wrong words to songs all the time, but I can't think of a single example right this second. My last name begins with a B and ends with a Y. Everytime I'm with my husband and a song comes on with the word baby in it, I substitute our last name. It makes him laugh even after all these years.

bazooka 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2005 How about the dyslexic's rendition of this Kinks klassic. I met her in a club down in old Soho Where they drink champagne And it tastes just like cherry Cola O - A - L - C , Cola She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name And in a dark brown voice she said Lola O - L - A - L , Lola Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bazooka 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2006 I remember my brother's friend was always trying to perfect his rendition of Fingertips Part 2, which he performed as 'Big Stevie Regular' (instead of Little Stevie Wonder), and it consisted of trying to substitute 'opposite' words (or somewhat 'opposite' words) in the place of the original lyrics. Some excerpts went something like this (as best I can recall): Don't clap your feet, just a whole lot softer Don't clap your feet, just a whole lot softer Well, hello, hello A-hello, hello Hello, hello, hello I'm gonna stay, now I'm gonna stay, now But let's not just sing it two more times! Why anyone would want to take up this endeavor (he probably even called it Thumb-bottoms or something like that), and why I found it incredibly hilarious, is still a mystery.

c_s_1987 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2006 Two choruses from 60's songs that interchange quite smoothly are "Light My Fire" by The Doors and "Drive My Car" by The Beatles. Just imagine Jim Morrison singing this to the tune of Light My Fire: Baby you can drive my car Yes I'm gonna be a star Baby you can drive my car And maybe I'll love you You have to change the tune at the end, but the first two lines work well.
