"Please Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy" and Other Mistaken Lyrics

I have become a fan of Thought Catalog - a lot of interesting articles on that site, so check it out if you're looking for some new ideas/a place that may have you thinking, "Yea! I feel that way too!"  I came across one about songs that people don't really know the lyrics to.  It made me think of songs I've listened to in my short almost-28-year-old life, so I thought I'd compile a small list, and see what any of you out there in Internet Land didn't know the lyrics to, either.


5 Songs No One Actually Knows The Lyrics To


The Thought Catalog's article features these 5 songs:

1. “Yellow Ledbetter“ by Pearl Jam - Bedwetter? What?
2. “Come on Eileen” by Dexy’s Midnight Runners - I think that Save Ferris's version  helped this issue, what do you think?
3. “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire - "AYYYYEEEEAAAHHH, Somethin' somethin' someeeeeethin'...."
4. “One Week” by Barenaked Ladies - I'll admit that I used to know a good majority of these words, but certainly not all of them...
5. “The Numa Numa Song” - Uh, yeah.  I don't even know that these are definitely English words... are they?  I'll have to look 'em up.


So, as a young'in I was under the impression that "Stir It Up" by Bob Marley and the Wailers was "Cereal."  "Ceeeerrrrrealllll.  Little darlinnnnn', ceeeereaaaalll."  Yep, because that made sense. Yep, I'm admitting it to the Interwebs.


Also, "Informer" by Snow.  What the hell is going on in that song?  "A licky boom boom down."  Yes, I got that much.  I think he drops his name a few times, too. But... huh? 


What are some of your favorite mistaken-lyric songs?

I've been checking out the new-ish dating website called HowAboutWe, and while they have a lot of interesting date ideas, they have some interesting articles as well. The most recent one that came in an email was this:

"The 10 Worst Make-Out Songs"

Yes, folks, true story. We've all been there.  The mood is right, you hit your iTunes DJ up for some tunes, not really thinking of it... chicka bow chicka bow wow. . . and THIS comes on:

No, really. That is a real possibility on my iTunes DJ. Sorry BNL, I'll always have feelings for you, but not when I'm, uh, having feelings for someone else.

So, what music do you listen to when you want to not be thinking about Cotton Eye Joe or Aretha Franklin and you want to definitely be thinking of whoever your lips are locked with?

There are some websites that help you put playlists together for this purpose exactly! How helpful, internet.  Some examples include:

8Tracks: 'Give Me Goosebumps'
8Tracks: 'Slow Dancing In A Burning Room' Recipe

What about you? Music? No music? What kind?
