When Carly and James (mostly James) sang "I might rise above, I might go below" - I thought he was singing "I might rise above my golden dome". Me too! Always wondered what it meant. |

When Phoebe Snow starts singing the second verse in the 1975 duet with Paul Simon "Gone At Last", it sounds like she is saying "I ain't dumb, I kicked her a** so I don't fall to easily." LOL - it sounds to me like she's singing "I kicked her a**hole". Never noticed that until you pointed that out (and I heard the song quite regularly as a young 'un). |

Well as they say, better late than never.
40 years after the fact I now realize that Sister Sledge was not singing - I wonder why he's the greatest dancer.
yikes.

I also thought the line was "I wonder why".
According to the lyrics I saw online, the line is actually "Oh what, wow".

^The misheard lyrics make more sense IMO.

I was listening to the deconstructed version by DJDiscoCatV2 (whose versions are fantastic BTW - check out Night Fever and Stomp! - and Mercy Mercy Me is incredible) and it sounded to me like "I went "wow"". So the lyrics site and I agreed on the wow part anyway. It's probably Oh what, wow. |

Okay, Ted Nugent. I understand now. It isn't
It's nothin' dangerous I feel no pain
I've got to judge a train
It's
It's nothin' dangerous I feel no pain
I've got to ch-ch-change

In Van Halen's "When It's Love", the second verse contains the line "Waiting for someone to come into focus, teach you your final love lesson". It sounds like Sammy is singing "Waiting for someone to come at you punk a**, teach you your final love lesson".

Also I just decided after all this time to look up this one
It's
And four help you through the night
Help to minimize your plight
Not
And four help you through the night
Help you through your Mahjong flight.
I'm learning new corrections all the time these days. What a blast it is getting old!

And it's
Basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're coming to take me away
not
Basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and tell me that they're coming to take me away
On second thought maybe they are.

Listening to this weeks 1975 show reminded me of what I thought was the lyric in David Bowie's song Fame.
The line near the end of the song "Fame bully for you chilly for me got to get a rain check on pain"
I thought it was "Fame bully for you chilly for me got to get a record on"
I guess that I was thinking that David had a turntable!

I thought it was something about getting a record on too. In high school English we were given an assignment to analyze lyrics of a song and speak about it in front of the class. For some reason I decided to pick Like A Rolling Stone. I went to the local record store that sold old singles and brought it home and listened to it over and over. Then I spoke in front of the class and analyzed the lyrics, many of which didn't exist because I didn't understand what the heck he was singing. I'm sure some of the students had the LP or the lyrics somewhere, and knew what a disaster my analysis was. To this day I can't listen to that song. When I hear it I feel that "old familiar pain" like Dan did in Same Old Lang Syne. It literally hurts. |

On a more serious note, here's to Mr. "Lucille" himself, Kenny Rogers. We love you and miss you on the radio. Too country for pop radio, and too pop for country radio, they say. Too bad. RIP. You'll make more beautiful music up there with Dottie West and James Ingram.

I am listening to Joe's brand new Cash Box Countdown from today in 1970, and I thought I would check out something about Kentucky Rain.
So it turns out it's "up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through".
It isn't "another hedge - another town that I'll go walking through".
I guess I thought his search for her was being hedged or hindered.
For 50 years.
