"warm smell of c........."WHAT?

[Chef]

Every time I hear Hotel California, I start laughing like a school girl.

kingcreole will remember this.

Several years ago at our paper, one of our guys comes up with a musical game on paper.

One of the songs was "Hotel California" by The Eagles.

The phrase was........"warm smell of ________ rising up through the air."

One of our newbees in the newsroom comes up with "warm smell of CLITORIS rising up through the air."

I have never laughed for so long and so hard in my life as when I first read that.

Well, Henley had to get that past the censors somehow ...

Well, Henley had to get that past the censors somehow ...

... especially given what colitas was standing in for ...

Wonder what he really meant with some of his other lyrics.
Maybe Zeke can analyze Boys of Summer....

 

[Piotr Rasputin]

Siblings and I have sang it that way for as long as I can remember.

The lyric DOES work better that way. Sort of like how in classic rock love songs, you can replace most instances of "Love" with "drugs" and they still work.

"For Your Love" being a favorite.

Great stuff Chef!

There was also:

"Therrrrrrre's a bathroom on the right!"

 

[greenlantern]

Feels like Mad Libs.

 

[jlee]

Great stuff Chef!

There was also:

"Therrrrrrre's a bathroom on the right!"

Haha, I've always thought that, too.

A bit more contemporary lyric that my friends and I have always heard, even though it wasn't really there: Usher's "Yeah," third line of the chorus, "All the white girls up, please pass the corned beef."

Excuse me while I kiss this guy

When I was a kid, I thought Aerosmith was singing "Doo-doo likea lady."

 

[User 1019]

I burst out with a great cover of, "The heart of rock n roll is in Cleveland," one night long ago in the newsroom.

HejiraHenry almost fell out of his chair.

 

[Steak Snabler]

Great stuff Chef!

There was also:

"Therrrrrrre's a bathroom on the right!"

Another one from CCR:

"Oh Lord, suckin' an old tire again." (Stuck in Lodi again).

From Black Sabbath's "Paranoid":

"I tell you to end your life/I wish I could but it's too late." (enjoy life)

Foreigner:

"Hot Blooded, jacket and sleeves." (check it and see)

From Led Zeppelin's "Rock N' Roll":

"Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight/Lincoln logs just won't walk right." (Making vows that just can't work right).

Any my favorite, from The Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden":

"Ah listen nurse, I could suck a duck." (All your sickness, I could suck it up).

 

[forever_town]

From my girl's "Edge of Seventeen":

"I would fart with an angel/Desire to wheeze" ("I went forth with an age-old desire to please.")

 

[Huggy]

"Big ol' Jed in a lineup" instead of "big old jet airliner".

 

[Johnny Dangerously]

Re: the Aerosmith song, what I heard until set straight was "Do the funky lady."

 

[Captain_Kirk]

Always wondered why Elton John sang, "Hold me closer, Tony Danza."

Well, not really.

Always wondered why Elton John sang, "Hold me closer, Tony Danza."

Well, not really.

Sadly, a friend in college thought those were the lyrics.

 

[I Digress]

"Jam slap gus, baby we were born to run".... Tramps like us..... swear to god I had a friend in college that thought that was what he sang.. jam slap gus....

In high school I thought it was 'warm smell of police dust'. :-\

 

[alleyallen]

"Jam slap gus, baby we were born to run".... Tramps like us..... swear to god I had a friend in college that thought that was what he sang.. jam slap gus....

Actually, that line works. Cause you know if you jam slap on Gus, baby you better be born to run.

Gus, ladies and gentlemen! Don't jam slap him.
