Story about this misheard lyric by: Dick Tater When I was in High School, back in 1974, I bought this album, and I swear to you, up until today, I really, honestly, thought that was the correct lyric, until I watched the "Don't Forget The Lyrics" TV show, tonight, in fact, and at that moment, well, I figured what I thought I heard might have worked too, for that time........ LOL |

The Repetitive Lyrics: Takin' care of business ...
Why They're Repetitive: Let's see, they say it four times in each chorus, then repeat it ad infinitum at the end (which once prompted me to ask a friend, 'Hey, what was the name of that bto song they just played?'). No wonder I once heard them called Bathroom Toilet Overflush.

Inappropriate Lyrics:
"Taking Care Of Business"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: I'm taking care of my business!
Why They're Inappropriate: When I was a kid "business" was a "polite" word in my family to refer to your ding dong. "taking care of one's business", is a reference to polishing your sex pistol or to something else?

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"
The Lyrics: You ain't seen nothing yet.
Why: I know that they at least USED TO teach in school that "ain't" is not a grammatically correct word. Its use has increased nonetheless. But even if it has been gramatically sanctioned by now, "ain't seen nothing" is still a double negative. making it incorrect English. Another issue to consider is whether the word "ain't' in its increasing acceptedness should be allowed to cover the territory of "haven't" as well as that of "isn't", "aren't" or "am not". The usual colloquial function of "ain't" is as a negative form of the verb "to be". But in a few phrases, like in this song's title line, it becomes a negative form of the verb "to have", since the standard way of stating the line is "You haven't seen anything yet", not "You aren't seen anything yet". So it is fair to question, however acceptable "ain't" becomes in lieu of "am not", "aren't" or "isn't", should it be further stretched to sometimes mean "haven't" or "hasn't"?
