Wurlitser

[oliver101]

A guy was singing on stage one night when a man came up to him and said 'do you do requests? ', to which the entertainer said ' yes, which song would you like?'. The man said 'do the song Wurlitser' . The singer said 'Im sorry I dont know any songs by that name' . The man said ' you must do, its a very famous rock and roll song from the 50s'. The entertainer said ' sing it to me'. And the guy sang;

Wurlitser one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready etc.

Later on in the same evening the same guy turns to the entertainer and says 'I've got another request for you'. To which the entertainer says ' go on then'. Do you know the song 'A jazz chord' , to which the entertainer says 'sing it please' .The guy says 'the song by Stevie Wonder 'A jazz chord to say I love you A jazz chord to say I care'.

A mistaken identity of the lyrics,
'Bad moon Rising' by Creedence Clearwater Revival

The same entertainer was asked to sing a song by CCR.
'There's a bathroom on the right."

[JazzCat]

Ha ha ha! Love the misinterped lyrics for Bad Moon! we used to change lyrics, usually just one word or phrase, to see if anyone was actually paying attention. That was a lot of fun.

[musicman97]

Smiles to you 8-)Jazzcat, its so good to see you again, and you bring me in mind of times when we did the same thing. Many times, people didn't notice that the words were changed, but our band traveled in Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, where the music gets going and people work up an apatite for breakfast at about 12 midnight.

Remember the group, Bachman Turner Overdrive, and their hit song, "Taking Care of Business? instead, of TCB, we changed the song, "Bacon eggs and Biscuits."

The song has a bridge where everybody sings in unison.

Bacon eggs and biscuits, every day,
Bacon eggs and biscuits, every way.
Bacon eggs and biscuits, its alright,
Bacon eggs and biscuits, and working over time.

Hey Musicman97,

We do that song too. I'm gonna have to try it on the audience this weekend. You're right about folks working up an appetite afterwards. We all meet at the Waffle House for breakfast, and definitely coffee! Thanks for sharing that with us. Hope you don't mind we use your bridge. I think it's gonna be a big hit! LOL

A change of lyrics I often use is ' I can see clearly now the rain has gone, I can see all testicles in my way' . (Johney Nash) Has anyone else got any decent word changes?

Here,s one
Every time you go away you take a piece of meat with you!!
(paul young) ;D

[Tubbs]

Here is one that a singer i know thought were the genuine lyrics.. "I caught a train down to Africa"......the song..."Africa by Toto."

[JazzCat]

Ha ha ha ha! Musicman! That's a goodern!

Had a crazy guy in one of the groups I was in... He used to change a line in "Tears on my Pillow"


....Tears on my pillow, stains in my shorts, over youuuuuuuuuu! LOL

I used to change a line in "Blue Bayou".....

Where the folks are swine
And the world is mine on blue bayouuuuuuuuu <grin>

[musicman97]

Hay Jazzcat, those are good ones and I'm laughing and rolling. and an old man like me needs to be careful and not fall out of a rolling swivel computer chair. LOL

here is one more that I use jimmy Buffet's margaritaville.

Some people claim there's a woman to blame,
and I think, well it could be my fault.

Some people claim there's a woman to blame,
so i guess I'll just blame it on my dog."

What makes this so much fun is that My German shepherd, Bergen takes naps under the keyboard, she raises her head and looks around as if to say "Whats he talkin about?" Its helarious like, 'Hey musicman, what did You do this time?." LOL

[muso]

Here's one.
Strangers in the night exchanging flip flops left one for the right.

[Stephanie]

One of my favourites: Jimi Hendrix - "'scuse me while I kiss this guy"

There's a ton of these things around - so many that they have their own name - mondegreens.

[oliver101]

And another one; Neil Sedaka Oh Carol.
Oh Carol I am but a fool
Darling I love you though you treat me cruel
You hurt me and you made me cry
But if you leave me I'll poke you in the eye

Theres some good ones coming from around the globe, keep it up everyone.

Regards and best wishes for the season

[JazzCat]

ahhh MusicMan, You reminded me of the first band I was ever in. The drummer sang Margaritaville. He did impressions and on the 'blame line', He'd do John Wayne voice and say, "Well I'd like ta tell ya it's my horse's fault" He'd do a Jinx the Cat voice and say "It's gotta be those durn meeses fault!" (Meeses = mice) He'd do a Bullwinkle the Moose voice and blame it on Rocky the Squirell too! Was funnier than all get out!

[musicman97]

Alright, thats cool Jazzcat, that is awesome I've got to copy and paste all of these or I will forget them for sure. LOL I love to do imitations and will use these ;D

[JohnG]

Hi to all who've posted here,

This has been a great little running thread and has had me laughing on and off for days.

I suppose at this time of festivity we shouldn't forget the good old schoolboy classics like:

While shepherds wash their socks by night all seated round a tub,
A bar of Sunlight soap came down and they began to scrub.

Sorry, groan.
Keep 'em coming,
JohnG.

Here,s another
i can never listen to this song without laughing ;D now
