Story about this misheard lyric by: Song

I know I'm not the only one to submit this, but I just learned this a couple of minutes ago and it totally blew my mind. I've heard this song many times, and I've never even questioned what I was hearing. I heard it recently, and sang part of it. This part. In public. It still sounds like that, even now.

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around

Why They're Funny:

'Kick 'em when they're up' sounds like Pee-Wee Herman. During 'kick 'em when they're stiff', it was the telephone ringing sound effects I like.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:

"The Last Worthless Evening"

The Lyrics:

I know you broke up with him and your heart's still on the shelf
It's been over two years for me, and I'm still not quite myself
You can't be with someone else, and you can't go back to him
You're beginning to realize that it's sink or swim

Why:

The general song is depressing but the rhythm is very upbeat.

"All she wants to do is dance"

The Lyrics:

Theyre pickin up the prisoners and puttin em in the pen And all she wants to do is dance, dance Rebels been rebels since I dont know when And all she wants to do is dance Molotov cocktail-the local drink And all she wants to do is dance, dance They mix em up right in the kitchen sink And all she wants to do is dance Crazy people walkin round With blood in their eyes And all she wants to do is dance, dance Wild-eyed pistol wavers Who aint afraid to die And all she wants to do is- And all she wants to do is dance And make romance

Why:

Oh, to be so blissfully happy.

Lighter Side of Serious Bands:

"Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat"

Don Henley is best known as the front man of the Eagles, whose music was known for its sometimes poetic style. Mr. Henley took that style to a successful solo career in which he recorded several songs with social commentary. Then sometime in the early '90s, he recorded a laid-back rendition of this lighthearted tune from the classic musical 'Guys & Dolls,' and it got a surprising amount of radio play.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):

"Crude remarks about Glenn Frey and vomit"

Before The Eagles reunited in 1994, Henley was asked during a news conference if he would ever work with Frey again. His response was: "I'd rather eat my own vomit."
