My freind in high school would sing 'i payed the rent come back' whenever we heard Princes 'Little Red Corvette'
That still kills me...i miss that goofball

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

LOL.

I payed the rent come back
Baby you're much too fast

That is too funny.
Totally makes sense.

You picked a bad time to leave me Lucile...
With Four Hundred Children Asleep In the Field.....
You picked a BAD time to leave me Lucile....

What can I say????

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

There also "You picked a fine time to leave me, loose heel"!

I, too, thought he was singing "four hundred children."

reply

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 7 years ago

LOL! I am so happy to know that I'm not alone!
That's right. It was FINE! Not Bad!

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Ha!
400 children ?
Wow. They were busy.
Were the crops planted when they slept ?
Did they use cabbage as a blanket?

So many questions.....

reply

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 7 years ago

All I know is that it sucked! He had every right to be sore. With all of those children, she certainly did leave him at a FINE time! LOL!

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Too bad he took it out on Ruby after she took her love to town.
He was still bitter about Lucille.

reply

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 7 years ago

Oh Dear Lord! Ruby only left him because of all of those CHILDREN!
Can you imagine what life was like after they woke up in that field????

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Ha!
He did admit he had lived through some bad times and some sad times.
I couldn't imagine it was worse than this.

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

I was always thinking wait a minute, SHE gave birth to four hundred children? Or HE just went out catting around and engendered 400 children -- then made poor Lucille raise them?? I kind of didn't blame her for leaving him and his 400 brats, lol!

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Not mention she would have to be about 300 to have that many children
Unless she had septuplets 43 times.

reply

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 7 years ago

"Wow. They were busy.
Were the crops planted when they slept ?"

After the first hundred children.....????
I figure that they stayed in bed while those children planted the crops......
Come to think of it, while he and Lucile stayed in bed, they did some SERIOUS planting of their own! 300 more to go!

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

LOL !

That's true.
With all that free labor they should have had the best crops in the county.

reply

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 7 years ago

After 400, they could have Ruled the World!
Why in HELL did she LEAVE him????

WHEW! I need another song! Skip that! I think I'll just listen to a little Weird Al!

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

I. Am. Cracking. UP!!

Seriously this thread is making me laugh so loud I think my neighbors are going to hear me and think I've finally lost my mind!

Funny stuff. I will never ever hear that song the same way again, thinking of all those children and the 43 septuplet births!!!!

reply

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 7 years ago

" thinking of all those children and the 43 septuplet births!!!!"

OUCH!!!!!

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

That poor woman -- and then he goes off and takes up with Ruby!

reply

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 7 years ago

Ruby! What a SLUT!
Of course, by then, he was in a wheel chair!

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

Taking all her love to town!

Although maybe she was just trying to avoid him knocking her up with 400 children too! She'd heard about Lucille!

Just thinking. . . he sings in Lucille "this time the hurtin' won't heal" -- but wouldn't that be Lucille's issue after all that childbirth. . .? {horrifiedface!}

reply

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 7 years ago

Hey! I'm trying to drink a beer here! Don't make me snort this out my NOSE!
I am loving this thread! I may never hear those two songs again without thinking of this conversation!

No more than them stinkin batches!!! Badges????
I give up! IMDb message boards is just a memory.
MovieChat is the BEST!

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

Yeah those badges!!

Talk about throwing the teeming masses a bone -- "Ten year badge"?! "Contributor"? Once they sold out to Amazon they could at least have sent us Amazon gift vouchers.

It reminds me of those t-shirts "I went to Disneyland and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"

"I posted on IMDb and all I got was this lousy internet badge on my account page"!

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 7 years ago

Have a good night. I'm taking off. It has been one long day.
I went to work, and all I got was this lousy pay check!

I really need a raise! That's another thread!

The Carpenters "All You Get From Love Is a Love Song" (Dirty Ol' Shame) --

The real words: "Like sailing on a sailing ship to nowhere"

I heard: "Like sailing on a sailing ship to Norway." I was always wondering why she would be sailing to Norway and what point is she making?

Then in the chorus:
"The best love songs are written with a broken heart"

I heard: "The best love songs are written with a broken ARM"!!

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

So now I'm picturing Karen Carpenter with her arm in a cast on ship bound for Norway.
She's waving goodbye (with her good arm) to her brother.
LOL.

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

Hahahahahahah!! Now why didn't I think of that! Classic!

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

She's all "So long Richard, I'm gonna make it on my own -- in NORWAY, sucka!"

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

" I Never really liked you anyway and you miss way too many notes"

I've got tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. This is too good.

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

I now cannot get the image out of my head, of Karen waving with her good arm from the prow of the Norway bound ship!

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I can't get sound of her beautiful voice yelling "sucka" as the ship is leaving.

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

Hahahahahahahhhaaaa!!

"Hey Richard! See ya on tha flipside, muthatrucker! NORRRway!! Yeah that's right!" [waves arm cast]

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

LMAO.

Maybe she wrote "Richard sucks donkey d***s" on her cast.

Poor Richard. He's so far away he doesn't even know what she's saying.
He thinks she's just going on a vacation.

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

HAHAHAHAH!

[Writes on cast] "Richard - poopiest worst brother EVAAAA! And I'm going to Norway"!

Prelude you are too cool for school.

I could go on all night. And often do if you hadn't noticed.
Thank you. This made my night.

And mine too -- in fact, thank you for starting this thread! Good times!

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

I just listened to this song for the first time - it does sound like Norway instead of nowhere

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

It does, doesn't it!?

And it sounds like "broken arm" -- she kind of drops her "H" in "heart"!

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

yeah she drops the H and really stretches it out to sound like aarrmmm .

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

I went for years thinking this part --

"Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!)"

--- they were singing "Miss Miller!"

Then I heard other people thought it was "Mitch Miller," who is this old time music industry guy.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

LOL.

Somebody else thought they were kicking cats all over the place.
Now they were involved with kidnapping possibly teachers and conductors.
Queen had a dark side so it seems.
The things you learn on MC.

reply

[–] R_Kane (15828) 7 years ago

The LP for the album, Queen II, had one side with the label, Side White. The other side of the recording, the one that ends with Seven Seas of Rhye, is labeled Side Black. Side Black begins with Ogre Battle. See how much we've lost by digitizing everything?

And I've always known that the lyric was Bismillah. 'S'one of the benefits of being arcane.

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

Aw, c'mon, it's been way more fun thinking it was Miss Miller! ;)

Or Mitch Miller!

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

Yeah, I was always a bit puzzled at where and how this poor Miss Miller suddenly got involved in the story there!

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I had another friend that destroyed Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.

should be-A mosquito, my libido

He said -I'm a Skittle, I'm a Beatle

He only got about half the lyrics right. I can't remember the rest but this one always sticks out.

reply

[–] Prelude (1443) 7 years ago

The funny thing about that one is, when I heard "A mosquito, my libido," I actually thought I was mishearing the lyrics! I would sing along on the radio and think to myself, "I wonder what the real word is, instead of "mosquito"?"

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

That's a great point. It's one of those songs. I think a lot of people did that.

My friend had this whole conspiracy thing worked out. He thought it was brilliant with his version.
When we actually showed him what the real words are he thought it was even more amazing.
That Nirvana was subliminally making us hear different lyrics. He used to go on forever talking about it.
He seriously believed everything he was saying.
We would always say something to get him riled up. Those are some good memories.

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Here's a couple a friend reminded of

Suspicious Minds by Elvis Presley

actual: We're caught in a trap

misheard: We're callin' a trout

Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson

actual: No message could have been any clearer

misheard: No moustache could have been any clearer

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (71920) 7 years ago

Lol so funny

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

We're callin a trout
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby

This totally makes sense.
How could you leave right after you called a trout?
Who does he love? The trout ?

Good one hownos.
