Genesis', "Paperlate"
The Lyrics:
Taking no risks and playing to shame
Why:
To shame is pronounced 'touche' - which made me think of someone hiding in their shell when confronted with danger, just like Touche Turtle!

Dion & The Belmonts', "Lonely Teenager"
The Lyrics:
I wanna go home where I belong
'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager.
Why:
The word "teenager" is pronounced "teen - ay - JERR" (stress on last syllable) rather than the usual "teen - AGE - er" or "TEEN - age - er" in order to make the words fit the rhythm.

Hearing those words
