Especially when you are having a bad week, take my advice – DO NOT look up the lyrics to your favorite song.
You will only be discouraged when you find out “Lisztomania” does not contain the lyric, “To the left, to the left, to the left, chocolate, to the left, to the left, to…” But instead says, “Do let, do let, do let, jugulate, do let, do let, do.”
It also does not actually contain my favorite line, “Like a rhine, like a rhino / Not easily offended.” Oh no. It’s really, “Like a riot, like a riot, oh!”
Really, what sense does that make?! Oh, Phoenix. What fun you missed out on.

LOL! I do prefer yours, I think. My little cousin used to think that the line “Der Kommisar’s in town” from that old 80s song said “hold that sausage down.” I think I prefer his too.

Why?? Why did you have to ruin the song lyrics I had in my head. I didn’t have the chocoloate line, but definitely the rhino. I am CRACKING UP over here.

see now this is the problem when you get used to crazy contexts – the contextual possibilities for interpretation just open soooo wide!

Another reason not to look up the lyrics…
The rest of us love to laugh at you when you go around singing the wrong ones!

All this music talk has me hankering to hear that “like a cheesestick” song…

@Crisanna: Bee hears cheese, her mother hears chocolate…apple/tree.

Another thing I’ve found ruins some songs for me is when I’ve never seen the band/singer and then I check out the video on Youtube and they look totally different from what they looked like in my head. They’re always not as good looking as I pictured them. heehee!

OK, now I think you need to recite all of the lyrics to every song you know just because apparently you will entertain me greatly with your misquotes.
