Original Lyrics: Sweet Jane

Story about this misheard lyric by: pickle* I heard this on the Bob Harris show on BBC 6 Music and started thinking about 'The Fall & Rise Of Reginald Perrin'. As Reggie's boss in the series was called C. J. It's not the first time a Leonard Rossiter series comes to mind with a song because 'Vienna' by Ultravox made me think of Rigsby's cat of that name in 'Rising Damp'! |

Submitted by: Paul Program
| "Walk On The Wild Side"

Dirty Lyrics:
"Walk On the Wild Side"
The Dirty Lyrics: But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head She says, Hey babe Take a walk on the wild side Why They're Dirty: The first time I heard them - which was in my parent's car, with my two older brothers and me in the back seat, and my mom, dad, and little sister in the front. Dad has the radio on the local podunk (pop 5000, farm-friendly) radio station, and they play the top 100, whether Perry Como, Ferlin Husky, or Jimi Hendrix. Lou got into the charts, and EVERYBODY got to learn about Candy and Holly. WHY the lyrics are dirty - well, basically they aren't anymore, just barely. But in 1972...
