Scuse Me... While I Kiss This Guy: And Other Misheard Lyrics > Customer Review #1:
Lyrics, Please!

I have read and sung so many lyrics in my career - and heard so many funny mis-interpretations of lyrics. My own kids "murdered" some lyrics when they were small. This book is a kick! Just sit back and relax and enjoy some chuckles at the end of the day!!

Gotta get this book!

This book is for all the people whove misheard lyrics. Honestly, who hasnt?? I read this book and absolutely howled with laughter. I always thought Juice Newton was singing, "Just floss my teeth before you leave me, baby" and Mick Jagger was singing, "I was born...to four cross-eyed lesbians."

Oh, so THATS what he said...

The title of this book was the big thing that caught me, since thats exactly what I thought Jimi was actually saying when I first heard Purple Haze! Small world, huh? And being someone who comes from a long line of song lyric-manglers, this book proved that I wasnt alone in this world when it came to makin some of the words up as I went along. Heck, even to this day ma and I still argue over whether that guys little bottle in Love Potion Number 9 was broken by a cop or a clock! Im going with the cop on this one, by the way. Needless to say, this little paperback was the perfect gag gift for ma on her birthday!

The only real problem I had with this book was its brevity. At most, each page has only two sets of lyrics (the incorrect version(s) above, the song and artist in the middle, and the proper words below). Because of this, I found it to be a bit pricey for the amount of content it contains. However, it does have an index at the end, which is a real plus if youre looking for a particular verse that youve been tryin to figure out. And if its not in this tome, you can always check the indexes of the other ...Kiss This Guy books that have been published!

Although I agree with the thought that some of the incorrect lyrics in this book seem too far off the mark to be legitimate equivocations, Ive personally experienced and have been a witness to far worse verse-mangling. So its no real surprise to me when I read some of the more seemingly far-fetched examples!
