Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Big In Japan"
Misheard Lyrics:
When you're jiggidy-pan tonight
Jiggidy-pan, alright
Jiggidy-pan, ooh the eastern sea's so blue
Jiggidy-pan, alright
Oh, then I'll sleep by your side
It's easy when you're jiggidy-pan
When you're jiggidy-pan.
Original Lyrics:
Aha, when you're big in Japan tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Dom Weaver

When the song first came out, I always misheard 'big in Japan' as 'jiggidy-pan'. Sure, it makes no sense whatsoever, but that's what I heard! It's now become part of my family culture!!!!
