‘Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy
August 14, 2008
Have you seen this book? It is a listing of famous music lyrics and their often misinterpreted counterparts. For example, Jimi Hendrix’s Purple Haze which says “…’scuse me, while I kiss the sky” has been known to cause confusion about the legendary guitar player’s sexual orientation and/or drug quality (see post title). One of my favorites is Ticket to Ride by the Beatles… I have often misheard the chorus as “…she’s got a chicken to ride” without ever really thinking about it.
HERE is an online database of often misheard lyrics. They even have a widget:
