Bob Dylan was supposed to have heard the 'I can't hide' lines in The Beatles 'I Want To Hold Your Hand ' as 'I get high' and thought they were all hopped on mary-jane just like him. I trust I'm not just repeating some old canard here.

You Made Me Love (You Woke Me Up To Do It) - Doris Day

Many years ago when I worked in a nursery one of the popular songs with the kids was 'Old Tom Tomato'. The opening lines were "Old Tom Tomato, like a big red ball, basking in the sunshine behind the garden wall" One of my colleagues asked me to listen closely to what one of the children was ACTUALLY singing ., And sure enough clear as clear 'Tommy' (name changed to protect the potty-mouth) was interpreting it as; "...like a big red ball, BASTARD in the sunshine behind the garden wall" Being a cosummate professional, I managed to leave the room before guffawing. I guess he may have heard the word at home and just thought that it was OK. Anyhow a little individual tuition and he was word perfect.

Steady on Otta, that's a bloody Lotus Eaters song, that is.

I adopt a lackadaisical approach on here TG, so I'm quite happy for you to swerve round me.

My initial hearings of Herman's Hermits 'She's A Must To Avoid' had me singing the chorus as 'She's a muscular boy'. There was no conscious thought at the time of gender-bending shenanigans or the like, just singing what (I thought) I heard.

I feel slightly disappointed that the Sab's lyric wasn't an encouragement to suicide after all. I thought as an angst-rudden teen it evoked a sense of the weltschmertz of the central subject, so beaten down by circumstances he couldn't even end his life, but reckoning that the listener should to avoid the existential pain he found himself in. I think if his woman HAD been able to help him with his mind, it all might have turned out differently. Something a-like this, perhaps? Met a lovely woman she help me greatly with my mind People think I'm inane because I am smiling all the time All day long I think of her and it keeps me pacified Think I'll cook a stew for her with her favourite - salsify Can I get it, somewhere down the Lane? Oh yeah Cos' I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find I can't source the things that make stew glorious, I must keep tryin' Make a joke and I will laugh and you will laugh and we'll hoot on the Rye Happiness is all I feel and love to me is really real And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life I wish all could it's truly great If Kurt Cobain spent his teenage years listening to these lyrics then he might still be with us today.
