Hold me closer, Tony Danza...

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You didn't mishear it, the name and commonly-accepted lyrics are a retroactive fix at Mr. Danza's request and he asks that we respect his privacy.

Not me personally, but I worked with a guy that always thought Secret Agent Man was Secret Asian Man.

[-] Hellnikko@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

No joke. Many years ago we went to a biker bar and it happened to be a karaoke night. Asian guy sings Secret "Asian" man and we lost our shit.

[-] MajesticSloth@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I've since learned it is a fairly common one. But we got a lot of laughs out of it with him. Just out of the blue when he'd come to his desk someone would break out singing it.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Honestly I think the singer threw in at least one secret asian man, and Secret aging man.

Pearl Jam feels like cheating.

Here's the classic Yellow Ledbetter

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

Yellow Ledbetter doesn't count. It's mumbled in recordings because the lyrics change over time to adapt to whatever conflict we're currently wasting life on.

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee

When I was a kid, I swear the lyrics sounded like "later we'll have some fucking pie", but it's "later we'll have some pumpkin pie".

I know I'm not the only one but I always thought the line was "dirty deeds and the Thunder Chief". Still think Thunder Chief is a cool name.

Same band, I thought the line was "let loose, vamanoose" like a funny way of saying vamonos - or "lets go".

I remember the subtitles for Smash Mouth - Walking on the Sun said "It's like kitty fat, it retracts before impact" which was nuts, I had the CD, and it was "any fad". They didn't use to vet subtitles on MTV. There were orders, but that's all I remember.

It's in our nature to destroy ourselves

It's in our nature to kill ourselves

It's in our nature to kill each other

It's in our nature to kill, kill, kill

That's the actual lyrics of Blood Brothers from Papa Roach, some people hear "Human Nature" instead of our nature, which is still the same meaning. However I once read someone misshearing of that lyrics and I can never unheard it, this is what I hear now (and so will you if you read):

Send the ninjas to destroy ourselves

Send the ninjas to kill ourselves

Send the ninjas to kill each other

Send the ninjas to kill, kill, kill

José Feliciano - Feliz Navidad.

Sounds like he is saying 'release mum and dad.' interlace with him singing 'I want to wish you a merry christmas'

I was in stitches at the dinner table when I heard it. Trying to tell my brother while crying and hyperventilating with laughter made it even better.

[-] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I hear this song in my head every time I see a "for lease" sign...

Had a friend who's little bro thought "Liberate my madness" from Liberate by Slipknot was "Never eat bananas".

I used to work with this guy who swore the lyrics to Beast of Burden by The Rolling Stones were, “Don’t wanna be, your pizza’s burnin’”.

Head Automatica - I Shot William H. Macy

What my friends and I heard when the album dropped: "Yeah, yeah... I put a sausage in your little hand!"

What the actual line says: "Yeah yeah, I'll put assassins in your little head."

Although my all-time favorite is and will forever be:

"Excuse me, while I kiss this guy" - Jimmy Hendrix

Back nearly 20 years ago Disney California Adventure (Anaheim, Cali) had this interactive exhibit where you did various things in line with the Disney animated kids movies. One was playing the Seven Dwarfs "Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off to work we go..."

In a little alcove in front of a group of friends was another group of cute mid-teen little Latino girls. They were dressed somewhat provocatively for the average Disney guest and all were wearing bold makeup, (not judging, but they stood out). The typical Spanish accent was prevalent with the silent "h". Their innocent rendition as they sang along was hilarious. Happy as they could be they were singing, "I hoe, I hoe, it's off to work we go..."
