When my younger sister was about 11 she said that she thought that Kenny Rogers was singing "four hundred children and a crop in the field" in the song Lucille. My response to her was how would they have time to get a crop in the field? So in honor of my sister...
"Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"
Some of the most famous mis-heard lyrics. It is not there's a bathroom on the right.
I never misheard that one and actually have a little trouble seeing the misunderstanding. However, if you want to go famous, excuse this gentleman while he kisses that guy:
And I like how they focus in on the other guitarist while he sings that lyric.
RE: Bruce Springsteen's R-O-C-K In The USA. Until I saw it on a TV video, I used to think they were singing 'Our little secret in the USA'.
And to Stevie Ray Vaughn's That's a Cold Shot, Babe, I could never figure that out...sounded like 'Unless you go surfing', or 'Unless you go shopping', yeah that's the thing...

Even worse for me. I thought R-O-C-K In The USA was John Mellonhead. No idea how I mistook Springsteen for him.

That is a totally understandable thing! It could easily be a Melloncramp song. I jest about his name, but because a friend won a bunch of tickets to one of his concerts, from a radio station, we went. It was one helluva good show! Could be on my list of most surprising concerts ever. They sounded great, and had plenty of stage presence as well! Fond memory

I just checked YouTube and ROCK in the USA is John Mellencamp.
"Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"
and Hari Seldon, now that polgara cleared that up, I'll just say, its not you...its me...I've always sort of associated Cougar and Springsteen. Another unlikely pair is Supertramp and Little Feat. Bruce is probably the least favorite of those 4, actually

I found this and it's pretty funny. It's a little over six minutes long. There is a little language, so might not want to have the kiddies in the room (unless you use headphones):

that IS funny! I had a bit of a hard time sorting out his accent at times, but what a funny comedian! Have never heard of him before.

"Sooner or later, humans will kill all the Aen Seidhe. All dwarves and gnomes. Then they'll start murdering one another. Your kind knows no other way. It's in your genes. You keep killing each other until only one remains. The strongest among you. A thousand years from now, a dim-witted human barbarian will climb to the top of a pile of bones, sit down and proclaim: "I win"."
That was great! They missed one though. At the end, when he was speaking, it sounded like he said, "I miss Elvis". Lol.
Someone needs to do one for Manfred Mann's 'Blinded By The Light'. The proper lyric is "revved up like a deuce" but in the song it sounds like "wrapped up like a douche". My own personal theory is that Mann misheard or misread it before recording the song and he made the mistake.
You are making me go back to some dormant brain cells, but Mann actually stated that some of that was because of some bad tape that munched up the lyrics, others claim it's because of a lisp.
If he would have kept Springsteen's original lyrics, it probably wouldn't have been a problem, but Mann changed it when he did the cover.

Jemma Simmons: Yeah, that was adorable... and exactly what I'd expect.

ayanami: Gotta say, given AoS's track record, and the amount of BS they put Fitzsimmons through over the seasons, I'm really really glad the two got a happy ending in the finale after all!
Apr 28, 2024 21:48:20 GMT
Jemma Simmons: I seem to recall a running gag in the writers' room where they had all of the characters' faces on a dart board and joked that this was how they decided who stayed and who went...
Apr 28, 2024 21:49:03 GMT
Jemma Simmons: Oh absolutely! And usually when shows go in that direction it's because they have run out of storyline. Fortunately that wasn't the case here.
Apr 28, 2024 21:49:47 GMT
Jemma Simmons: Like... that's usually the death knell of a show when they try to throw characters together. But that was something that was pretty obviously going to happen from S1, so....
Apr 28, 2024 21:50:16 GMT
ayanami: Honestly though, I think they overdid it with ripping Fitzsimmons apart over and over again. The show really had enough going plot-wise to survive two characters being happy with each other on occasion!
Apr 28, 2024 21:52:50 GMT
ayanami: Knowing it's all gonna work out is definitely helpful moving forward in that regard. Helps one to move past any astronaut chenannigans, for example.
Apr 28, 2024 21:54:23 GMT
Jemma Simmons: Definitely. I mean, especially when we got into the "future" storyline in like S5.
Apr 28, 2024 21:54:38 GMT
ayanami: Or, you know, the Fitz dying part.
Apr 28, 2024 21:55:20 GMT
ayanami: Or the Fitz being an evil nazi part.
Apr 28, 2024 21:55:46 GMT
ayanami: Or the Fitz being a total asshat to his grandson for no reason part!!!
Apr 28, 2024 21:56:09 GMT
Jemma Simmons: Hahahah! Yeah, all of that!
Apr 28, 2024 21:56:53 GMT
Jemma Simmons: I keep holding out hope that we might see some of the cast make a cameo in one of the upcoming movies. The farther out from the series we get though, the less likely that is.
Apr 28, 2024 21:57:45 GMT
Jemma Simmons: And there is also the fact that the Marvel Universe proper would like to erase this series from existence.
Apr 28, 2024 21:58:13 GMT
ayanami: Well, we're approaching midnight here and I gotta get up pretty early tomorrow, so I'm gonna have to call it a night now.
Apr 28, 2024 21:58:30 GMT
ayanami: Yeah, that would have been really cool to see. Though, truth be told, the Marvel universe proper has produced so many stinkers by now, that we might as well reboot the whole bunch and move everything back onto one timeline.
Apr 28, 2024 21:59:37 GMT
Jemma Simmons: Alrighty! You have a great week!
Apr 28, 2024 21:59:38 GMT
ayanami: Yeah, you too! See you around, bosslady! (And I'm glad you're back from your vacation. I hear Maveth is just TERRIBLE this time of year! )
