| Remember "FlashDance" by mumble(Irene Cara?)...those immortal lines
"Get your pants down,"
"And make it happen..."
The real version was something with the word "Passion" in it.
I must say I like my version better.

| By the way, something I've heard several times but *still* don't
know what they're saying is the second line of 'Blinded by the light'.
To me it doesn't resemble an English sentence at all.
Anyone know what it is?

| This is totally unrelated but :- when I first heard Europe's
Final Countdown (see my all time hates list), I wondered
what on earth they were going to rhyme with "We're heading
for Venus" ... anyway it turned out to be "now that they've
seen us" ... boo
Maybe we should have an appalling lyrics topic (although I'm
not going to start it).

| One of my all time faves is Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, but
it contains one of the most amazing forced rhymes I've ever heard:
"They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum,
Then charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em"
Looks ridiculous written down but our Joni seemed to have a gift
for making the most akward and un-scannable lines sound good.

Some that fooled me -
'The reverend blue jeans'
'Forever in blue jeans' Neil Diamond ?
'go and get stuffed'
'the going gets tough' Billy Ocean
'life is life'
'live is life' those Austrian eejits again
the last one was because of the pronunciation, I only realised
what they were saying when I saw the video last week.

Queen did one (that I know of),it ends very clearly with the line
"Gimme,Gimme Gimme Fried Chicken."-cant remember the song,but I'm
suresomeone will.
Theres also a rasper on the WWW album,PISO.
"When I get that funny feeling" on the lyric sleeve but
"When I get that fu*k*n feelin'" to me and everyone else I've asked.
The carpenters did one as well -
"True love's made with a broken heart" dont sing the "t"
"True love'S made with a broken arm" to UK Radio 1.
and to round of theres the badfinger classic
"Hey,theres a bathroom on the right."

Yes they did have to make that change in the lyrics for the

Also Jim Morrison of The Doors had the band blast over the lyrics
at a few certain spots during the song "The End".
