Dave has this thing where he "rewrites" songs and, quite frankly, ruins them for me. Certain songs have a moratorium on them where he cannot, under any circumstances, sing any other words other than the proper words to the song. This includes songs from our wedding.
Today, I figured I would share some of the "classics" that we frequently sing in our house. In typical guy fashion, I have to warn you that most of these songs are changed to include bodily functions. Because fart jokes still make Dave laugh until he cries...every time.
Beast of Burden- Rolling Stones
How the lyrics really go: I'll never be your beast of burden
What Dave sings: I'll never leave your pizza burning
I actually love Dave's version of this song, because he sings it to me and I'm pretty sure he genuinely means it. And he never has burned my pizza.
You are a Tourist- Death Cab for Cutie
How the lyrics really go: When there's a burning in your heart
What Dave sings: Well, there's a burning when you fart
In the words of Forrest Gump, that's all I have to say about that.
Always be my Baby- Mariah Carey
Okay so this one is a bit different. Dave decided one day that Mariah was singing to a fart. I took the time to listen to the lyrics and if you look at it from that perspective, it is possible she's singing to some gas:
We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
'Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die, no
You'll always be a part of me
I'm a part of you indefinitely
Boy don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on and on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
Machinehead- Bush
How the lyrics really go: Got a machinehead
What Dave sings: Got a mushy- head
Seriously, I swear Gavin Rossdale is singing mushy head over and over again in this song.
How the lyrics really go: Don't stand so close to me
What Dave sings: Don't stand so close to pee
Wise words from someone who laughs uncontrollably at fart jokes.
What are some songs that you hear the lyrics differently?
