Pickles by Brian Crane for May 24, 2015

I like John Denver too. Even I (emphasis on “I”) know it’s “senses.” I wonder how is his ex-wife Annie doing these days as well as the kids.

Back in the day, we used to sing it this way:.“You fill up my sinusWith ragweed in summerWith pollen in springtimeLike a walk in the rain”…..Funny how that last line can remain unaltered and it still works.

There’s a bathroom on the right!

My Mom thought it was “you build up my fences”! But then she thought Frankie Valli’s “My Eyes Adored You” was “my mind’s a torture”!

" ’scuse me while I kiss this guy"…Jimi Hendrix

Roll over, John Denver.

and who can forget the classic “hold me closer, Tony Danza” ?

Woe Mist, is this an idea from play Misty for me? Very clever!!!

The ants are my friends

I can’t believe that someone else thought that it was “a bathroom on the right.” How funny is that?

First new Sunday Pickles comic strip in 4 weeks following Sunday reruns!

When my brother-in-law was a lad, Kenny Rogers’ song “You Picked a Fine time to Leave Me, Lucille” was popular. He went around singing the second line of the chorus as, “400 children and a crop in the field.”Geez, no wonder Lucille left him.

“Alex the seal” was always a favorite song of mine.

Listening to ‘70 version of Venus ("I’m your Venus, I’m your fire, at your desire"), my mother said, “How can they let him sing about his penis on the radio?”

I actually thought the second line was “Like a night in the forest”. Thanks for straightening me out on that.

I never liked John Denver. Simon & Garfunkel was my favorite. Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water.

I sorta’ lost my interest in vocals when they all stopped enunciating.

Sweet dreams are made of cheese, who am i do dis a brie…

As a kid, I thought the Beetles, Lady Madonna was chewing on your feet.

Hey, when I was little Roy Orbison used to sing about a gentleman named Only. He was very lonely. I was only six, but I felt so bad about Only the lonely. :)

my fave “pulling mussels from a shell”—pulling muscles for michelle. although earl is i think correct. a love song for someone who’ll fill out your census form for you makes perfect sense.

43 years ago I got into an argument with a farmer kid at school.I swore up and down that Merle Haggard was singing about a “Okie From My Stogie.”….My bad Delbert. You were right.

“pjammas, pjammas, pjammas in the name of the lord.”

We’re jammin’….

Love mondegreens.

I have the number for Mondegreens Anonymous if anyone wants it.

thanks ALL i have been laughing for 2 minutes while i read these commentsbeing a long time trying to be musician i have heard so many ‘lyrics’ of songs butchered by people who weren’t drunk(not to mention drunk, which they said gave them an excuse) that this brought back a lot of memories – pajamas in the name of the lord – hillarious!!-kids are always best at this but a few adults can be absolutely amazing with ‘what they hear’ as lyrics. my mom is great at it.

Great job

“You picked a fine time to leave me loose eel! "she hollered, as he left for another fishing trip.

A couple of old jokes which may need a set-up, but here’s the punch lines:“Gladly, the cross-eyed bear”“Jose Kanu See by the Donzoli light”My mother told me that when I was three, after hearing the Hallelujah Chorus repeated several times because the speaker was late, would try to sing “the Lord God in a tent reigneth”.

Enjoyed this strip and all the comments, but my first thought was, John Denver is her idea of modern music?

All weird comments.

DavidHuieGreen: The correct words to the first verse s by Walt Kelly. I have those to the second and third as well.

However, the best winter song is:Chess nuts boasting in an oaken foyer, Tax loss ripping at your clothes.Poolside, Harold, being swung by a squireAnd jokes messed up by extra beaux. And on through the whole thing.

This song makes me nauseous, like a Doris Day movielike a date with your mother like… I forget the rest.
