name that song

A female leopard, possibly spelled wrong?

LOL this is one of my favorite topics on music...people that have lyrics wrong, and what they think it is....all these years I thought they were singing about a female leopard, but it was Olympus! LOL
 
I Love College by Asher Roth is a good college party anthem. Other than that, you really can't take him seriously as a musician. Hopefully everybody who likes that song knows he took the guitar melody from Say It Ain't So by Weezer, one of the greatest songs of the 90's or ever.


Have you listened to his album or are you just assuming this?


"its why i am, its why i am, why i am still here dancing with the groo grux king. "

"Why I Am" DMB. Good track from the most surprising album I've heard in years. To be honest I completely expected this album to blow something fierce. I love older DMB, but I don't think they've made a great album since "Before These Crowded Streets". "Busted Stuff" was ok, but "Everyday" and "Stand Up" were awful. "Big Whiskey" is awesome.


"I just can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read" (hint: not DMB)
 
This is a rap song...

***** ***** the **** ********* a ********* **** ***** yeah boy ***** :jimlad:

(disclaimer- they are only stars)

I thought that was a transcript of Zabel from an Iowa game with the stars representing inaudible words.

"Mama Told Me Not to Come" (Three Dog Night)

Edit: After answering it off the top of my head, I googled it to make sure I had the artist right. I didn't know Randy Newman actually wrote and did the original recording of that song. Even he says the Three Dog Night version is better.

Jimi's "Purple Haze"...

Is it: "s'cuse me, while I kiss the sky"

or: "s'cuse me, while I kiss this guy":jimlad:


Zep's "Stairway"...

Is it: "and as we wind on down the road"

or: "and there's a wino on the road":jimlad:

One Vision by Queen.

At the end of the song does he say "One Vision" or "Fried Chicken?" :eek:
 
"There's a bathroom on the right..."

I belted that lyric out in a piano bar one night, and acting at least as if he'd never heard it the singer said he liked that better and sang it that way instead.
