Story about this misheard lyric by: Amy Brandt

My college roommate fell to the ground laughing when I told her that this is what this lyric always sounded like to me. She still reminds me of it, 20 years later, even though I assured her I didn't really THINK that's what it was. That's just what it SOUNDED like, to me. I had no idea that they were spelling out letters!

Song Parody Fragments:

"Family Man"
Better Lyrics:
I said gimme some money
I'm a gambling man
I just lost all my money on a fight.
Original Lyrics:
He said leave me alone
I'm a family man
and my bark is worse than my bite

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Family Man"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Leave me alone
I'm a family man,
and my bark is much worse than my bite
Why They're Nonsensical:
Just when you think you've checked out the ultimate in crazy songs,along come more.Here is a nice little bedtime ditty for grownups.Grownups that is who haven't quite grown up.Family man.Like,here is an approximate viewing of this thing-Once upon a time there was this nice family man.Nice wife,and nice son and daughter.One dark,sinister evening while the moon was high,and wolves howled in the forest,he was approached by one of those immoral,vampiric ladies who will love you for money.She had sultry eyes,sulky smile,standard pose.-Do you want to take a walk me kind sir?,she purred into his ear.-However,he being a married man and a kind father spurned her naughty advances with the words-Leave me alone.I'm a family man,and my bark is much worse than my bite-[What's with the bark worse than bite crap here?What in blazes is a statement like that supposed to signify in a situation like this?]-So,the naughty lady of the night dropped her price,giving him a look which would have melted the resolve of any other mortal man,married or not.-[Yeah.It actually says basically that in this ludicrous song.]Now,even this staid gentleman's resolve began peeling around the edges,as her dark eyes bored into his,and her waxen leg was much apparent.Yet,he repeated his phrase of before.-[He also chucks in this-...but if you push me too far I just might-So much for this unconquerable family man of high moral tone.]He turned away from the dark,brazen lady of shadows,but,deep within,an animalistic urge for the wanton strumpet was building up like a raging volcano.Finally he could persist in his resolve no further,and turned to take her in his arms.To his horror she was gone,sick of his refusals.-[Here's something REALLY mad next.We're then told that at that moment he screamed-yes SCREAMED-his Leave me alone.I'm a family man bit,which really does sound to me as though we've been presented with a story about a guy in need of some kind of urgent help.]One honestly gets the distinct impression at times that a lot of lyricists have not been thinking their writing through properly,whilst others,and whoever wrote Family man could well be one of them,have been taking the proverbial.I mentioned this very thing in one of my articles on the song Kites,although I did have a rethink on that score,the plural title being erroneous excepted.However,that's only one instance.The song world,like everything else, is replete with waxen leg-pulls.
