Misheard Lyrics Story:
|
"Born to Be Wild"
Misheard Lyrics: Bitchin' motor runnin'
Flat out on the highway. Original Lyrics: Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Gregg Dorfner The first time I first heard this song (late 60's), phrases like "bitchin'" and "flat out" were common among hot rodders and bikers. That's what I really thought Steppenwolf was singing about and, to this day, I still think MY version works better that theirs! |

Onomatopoeia in Lyrics:
"Earsplittenloudenboomer"
The Lyrics: "Today, I haf goot nus, unt I have bat nus. (blah-blah-blah in Greman). Earsplitenloudenboomer...
Why: Not really a "lyric", as the song is basically an instrumental. It opens with a recitation that is in laughable German, and morphs into some warped version of Herb Alpert. The only indication of the songs title comes at the end, when a "sonic boom" signals the finish of the cut.
