Hold me close and tie me down, sir.

(sounded to me like)

..and she's barring a stairway to heaven

In Stairway to Heaven there's also:

"And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last"

Sounds like:

"And if you listen very hard, a Jew will bother you a lot"

Re: Misheard Song Lyrics
 

also in stairway,

"just a spring clean for the may queen"

sounds like

"just a sprinkling for the making"

Steve Miller Band - Jet Airliner - "Big Old Jet Airliner"

[/ QUOTE ]

I used to think it was "Please don't turn that light on."

Don't laugh, until you listen to it.

I was the only one in my peer group who recognized the word "Exodus", when my friends all heard, "The Excorcist is near," in The Who's Baba O'Reilly

And don't forget "We didn't start the fire", where Billy Joel sings about the "Children of Thalidomide". Tell me you didn't think he said, "Children of the little mind."

(BTW, "China's under martial law" was originally "Poison apples in the store", but the China line was inserted at the last minute, to reflect the then-current Tienamen protest.)

I have no idea what that means, but I know that's what they're saying. It's more coherent in the Springsteen version. Everyone thinks Manfred Mann's Earth Band is saying "douche."

Ever heard the song, "Little Duece Coupe"? These old guys called the Beach Boys used to sing it.
