For years i felt a tad risque mouthing words to Joy Division's 'Disorder' to myself. Only now, after nine years of thinking these were the lyrics, and that i was secretly a bit cool with things do i find that the lyrics aren't:
I've been waiting for a guy to come and take me by the hand/Curvy sensations make me feel the pleasures of another man?
but:
I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand/Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
mines not quite as indie
My sister thought the words in Outkast's Hey ya where:
Shake it like you probibley want pizza
instead of
Shake it like a polaroid picture
I kinda like her version

nothing to do with this post but i've just been reminded what the greatest music video of all time is. Joy Division mixed with John Cooper Clarke.

I'd hate not to be Northern, really.
bloody bloody bloody
excelent video.... I love the begining and the bit where he first starts rockin ut the 'dance dance dance dance to the radio' and just one guy looks like he wants to pop out some moves but holds back
ha, yeah
that was 29 years ago. i can never get my head round that. even now when you hear local bands, they're all influenced by him, it's strange, it's nearly three decades ago, ffs. pound for pound i'm certain that they're the most important band in the history of british music. he still has casts a freaky shadow over manchester like no other artist does anywhere. i'm pissed, but yeah...
erm
no 'has', btw...
totally justified digression
I have the vinyl for Transmission propped by my turntable.
JCC - Kung Fu International 'he kicked me in the balls and said something profound ... I can't go back to Salford, he's got me marked, enter the dragon, exit John C Clarrrke'
Heh.
I hear sexual innuendo all the time in lyrics.
Perhaps because had a misspent youth worshipping a band who really sang "Sweetheart is bleeding in the snowcone."
Thought the Manics' Nobody Loved You went "Did you ever forgive her, did you ever fucking fuck." Kate Nash or Remi Nicole would lap that up.. oops, I've done it again!
the go-go's
i never knew the title of the song so i thought they were saying "honest i see you" instead of "our lips are sealed."
she's a filthy cow
Femme Fatale. I always say this one.
I found a couple of months ago
that i'd mistaken a line in one of my favorite songs.
It's embarrassing to say which one...
mine...
i thought the manics sang 'if you tell the rapist then your children will be next' rather than 'if you tolerate this..'!!!!! i was a bit shocked when i (thought i) heard that for the first time! haha!

Abba 'Waterloo'
"I feel like a wee when I poooo" before it breaks into the chorus.
Real lyrics: "I feel like I win when I looooose"
Might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove
by Robert palmer. brilliant.
"Only in Jamaica"
my friend thought "only to waken her" i think it is (im probably wrong as well) in REMs Sidewinder was "only in Jamaica" "only in Jamaica", he used to drive me nuts!
