Misinterpreted Song Lyrics

[Latrade]

I didn't see it. Can you send me details and I'll look for it on Amazon.

Here you go: Man in the Sand

Kind of half a documentary on Woody and half musicians at war (towards the end anyway). So fascinating from several angles.

What's wrong with this song

Isn't it supposed to be about a young girl who started shooting people going about their daily business one Monday morning and when eventually caught and questioned she replied "I don't like Mondays"

At least I think that's what Bob Geldof said in his autobiography

I'm off to Wikipedia to check

Yep Brenda Spencer on a killing spree!

 

[PetrolHead]

Apparently Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax had another meaning - not just about taking it handy

I thought 'taking it handy' was what it was about...

Nothing wrong with the song, I was referring to the fact that it's rolled out when people go back to school/college or people referring to it when they're reluctant to go to work....

And yes it's about that 16 year old in San Diego.

And then there was "Turning Japanese" by the Vapors .

The man wasn't really turning japanese at all!!!!!

Indeed!

Took me a long time to learn what it was about. Always realised of course that it was highly unlikely to be taken literally, but still, the true reference surprised me a little.

You left out Golden Brown by the stranglers - a nice little ode to heroin.

 

[Purple]

You left out Golden Brown by the stranglers - a nice little ode to heroin.

I think most people know that though.

I love "The Wind Cries Mary" by Hendrix and "Last Dance With Mary Jane" by Tom Petty, both songs about a drug with M and J in the title

 

[Caveat]

Summer of 69 by Bryan adams - nowt to do with the year rather the position!

The french version by Serge Gainsboro called "L'éte de soixante-neuf" is even ruder.

 

[PaddyW]

Ah yes, maldroxindiapajezamine, great stuff.

TetraHydroCannabinol?

No wonder. I made it up.

Sounds real though doesn't it?
