(heard or accumulated online)
Young married couples in their tethered felt hats
[Young married couple in debt: ever felt had?]
Nature is an anguished tangerine.
[Nature is a language, can't you read?]
In Eng-land, the sun shines out of their behinds
[Hand in glove, the sun shines out of their behinds]
They never pull weeds in Birmingham but I don't care
[Liverpool, Leeds or Birmingham, I don't care]
Punch a bicycle.
On a hill say, "Yes, Ole!"
You've met your maker, "man of the year".
[A punctured bicycle on a hillside, desolate.
Will nature make a man of me yet?]
Send me your pills - the nurse said you might
[Send me your pillow - and I'll send you mine]
Now I know that you're a black belt
[And now I know how Joan of Arc felt]
London gurus, the late night stardom.
[Bending the rules at a latenight card game]
He couldn't get over your Grandma's odour
[He couldn't get over Grandma's Omen]
Some girls are bigger than ovens
Zsa Zsa Gabor, what's my life for?
And Yanni you'll never be
[The Piazza Cavour
What's my life for; Magnani you'll never be]
Sheena Tinklebow.
Boot the crime, and the swirled, and the crotch deal
[Sheila, take a bow, boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear]
Haunted bicycle.
On a hillside, Desil lays.
I went to London and I booked myself in.
And why didn't you see? Eh?
[I went to London and I booked myself in at the YWCA]
There's panic on the streets.
I'll call Lyle.
Humpty Dumpty homicide.
[There's panic on the streets of Carlisle, Dublin, Dundee, Humberside]
Convinced that your town is a joke now, Hank the DJ.
[Provincial towns that you jog round.
Hang the DJ]
And in my darkened underpants...a strange fear gripped me
Still running round, ready with Reddi-wip
[Still running round Reading with ready wit]
NP::Oasis - Brotherly Love

This made my morning. Thank you.

Only inaccurate lyrically?
Quote:

Isn't this also a David Yow lyric?

In high school, our group used a pejorative- "mancid."
As in "that movie was totally mancid," or "X & Y caused a scene at the party. It was mancid."
This originated with a friend who believed mancid was a synonym for unpleasant:
It's mancid, it's gruesome, that someone so handsome should care....
Of course, this was the same friend who believed a line from "Suffragette City to be
"the smell of fat chicks just puts a smile on my face."

What fun. For obvious reasons, I've offered not a single "actual" translated lyric. If they exist, I don't wanna know. In this case, ignorance is indeed bliss.

Sigur Ros anyone?
On a serious note, how's that new live album/DVD extravaganza?

I'm sure that a list of R.E.M. mondegreens would be entertaining, but for now, I'm out of time. (I'm sorry.)

Mr. T Experience covered Can't Get There from Here, using a phonetic "best guess" approach to the lyrics, such as "When your hands are feeling icky" and "Donna Reed is not my mom!"

I'm still going to take "Wrapped up like a douche" (blinded by the light) for the win. . .
