Misheard Lyrics

I found a helpful website that straightened out years of mishearing song lyrics. You can't imagine the relief I feel finally knowing the words!

Somewhere along the way, though, I lost the link, so I'm really sorry if you want to link to it. Type "misheard song lyrics" into Google or something. Huzzah!

Here are a few por ejemplos:

Queen's, "Bohemian Rhapsody"
Misheard Lyrics:
Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard Eeeeeeeeee!
Original Lyrics:
Bealzebub has a devil put aside for me(eee!)

Nirvana's, "Smell's Like Teen Spirit"
Misheard Lyrics:
Lajenienaaie
Original Lyrics:
A denial

Beck's, "Loser"
Misheard Lyrics:
Ah, go open the door.
Original Lyrics:
Soy un perdidor

The Eagles', "Hotel California"
Misheard Lyrics:
Commander Tiffany twisted.
Original Lyrics:
Her mind is Tiffany twisted.



The Eagles', "Hotel California "
Misheard Lyrics:
We around just business here
Offer room device.
Original Lyrics:
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device.
Eagles', "Hotel California"
Misheard Lyrics:
'Relax', said the knight man.
'We are programmed to incede.'
Original Lyrics:
'Relax', said the nightman.
'We are programmed to receive.'
Eagles', "Hotel California"
Misheard Lyrics:
'Relax', said the knight.
'Man, we are programmed to receive.'
Original Lyrics:
'Relax', said the nightman.
'We are programmed to receive.'



I caught a whiff of that distinct autumn smell on my way home from work the other day...not quite the smell of burning wood, but something like it. Ahhh.

Would you rather...

Have your left hand constantly wet for 24 hours, or take a bath in room-temperature whipped fish?

Sleep on a bed with live (non-venomous) snakes under the mattress pad for a week, or barf into your own lap, and act like nothing happened, during a carpool to work with a bunch of people you've never met?

Brush your teeth with parmesan cheese instead of toothpaste for a whole month, or be able to brush your teeth with toothpaste but rinse your mouth out with egg nog instead of Listerine?

Eat Lucky Charms with cherry NyQuil instead of milk every morning for breakfast, or get to eat whatever you want but have to supplement your diet with 16 glazed Krispy Kremes before you eat anything else?

This is 0% uplifting and 100% fun to read. Please contribute!

Saturday

Spent most of the morning with the plumber in the new place. Our main sewer was backed up and contents that the pipes rejected were threatening to significantly decrease our standard of living. All's now well but I've surreptitiously sprayed down every inch of the area with Lysol disinfectant, more for my own psychological benefit than anything else.

Been reading The Order of the Phoenix....Harry's a lot more grown up in this book, as are Ron and Hermione. Harry's righteous indignation over the way he's been persecuted is coming out more as well, which is good--he had a lot bottled up. He's also got a love interest and Ron and Hermione I think are beginning to realize their mutual affection. Delicious.

Later mom and I are going to drive up and loiter around DC till it's time to pick up my youngest sister from the airport at 10:30 tonight. She's been in Guatemala with a group from church on a mission trip--coincidentally right after the mud slides happened (just slightly north of where they were) and as a result a lot of electricity is out in that country (hence my sister and crew have enjoyed humid, 90 degree plus days without AC). I expect to find her with a new-found appreciation of ice, fast food, and water that doesn't have to be boiled.

It's a lovely day and I'm going to throw open the windows, blast an 80's mix and get to organizing my room, as everything's all but stayed right where it was thrown since we moved last weekend.
