Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 14, 2025

…and there is no bathroom on the right!

I used to think that theme song started “Who can turn the world DOWN with a smile…” and I actually prefer that version!

I am still working on the lyrics to “Louie Louie”.

Well, Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy.

bang on the drums

A Bummer Dude Moment ;-)

I frequently look on-line for the full lyrics to old songs. It gives me renewed respect for the rhyming skills of lyricists back-in-the-day.

Mondegreens, all of ’em.

Nothing beats my friend who insisted T-Rex sang: Get it on with a dog get it on.

Way back in the 80’s, my son was on a date with a girl who was singing along with the radio which was playing “Taking Care of Business”. She was singing “shaking Carol Beasly”. To this day that’s what I think of any time I hear that song.

She came in through the bathroom window…….

‘Down on the corner, crowded in the street, Willie and the poor boys dance with muddy feet’.

Isn’t it ". . . all night and party every day. "

“You keep on shouting, you keep on shouting.” (Because you’re not wearing hearing aides).

When my sister lived in Paris, The Beatles were popular. One day she was visiting us and was singing at the table, “We all live in a Galla Sandmarie, Galla Sandmarie, Galla Sandmarie…” We all burst out laughing!

“Donuts make my brown eyes blue.”

Wrong lyric often sung to Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap: “…dirty deeds and they’re done with sheep” …

I always thought Dean Chandler was singing “Dup Dup Dup A-dup”. My wife propmptly point out to me he was singing “Duke, Duke Duke of Earl” I was crushed as I thought I had some real good deep bass rhythm.

When my kids told me that the lyrics to “take on me” went Take on me I’ll be gone In a day or two.. I was pretty disappointed

I know the feeling……for the longest time I always thought the lyrics to a Beatles song was “Sgt Pepperoni’s Hearts Club Band”…….

’Scuse me while i kiss this guy…

And why are we pledging allegiance to Richard Stands?

Apple Music lets ya see/follow the lyrics now so there’s no more confusion…..

There’s a rumor about the Beatles singing “Baby You’re A Rich Man” , where one line is a reference to their manager, Brian Epstein , who they weren’t getting along with. No chance of getting it past the GC censors.

You know zumone zed that the world’s a stage. :)

I was disappointed when I heard the back story to the 4 Seasons Oh What A Night.

I’m just a hunk, a hunk of burning love (ah)I’m just a hunk, a hunk of burning love, ah (ah)
