    Sara-s This Pun for Hire

    Has someone ever gotten the words wrong or satirized a song, so that you can never hear it again, without laughing? I have a few & would love to know your examples. (Please keep it clean.)
    Here are some of mine;
    1) According to my sister (@ age 4) the words to "Jingle Bells" include "Old MacDonald is to ride in a 1-horse open sleigh."

    2) "Silver bells" has been re-written to become an "Earmuff day" carol. It goes like this:
    Earmuff day, earmuff day.
    It's earmuff day in the city.
    Have no fears.
    Warm your ears.
    Soon it will be earmuff day.

    BTW, Earmuff day is on 12/1, the date on which earmuffs were patented.

    Most famously, Jimi Hendrix: 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy.

    edit: the one I actually sing: "There's a bathroom on the right." (CCR, Bad Moon Rising)

    edit2: From when I was a child: Johnny Rivers sang "Secret ASIAN Man." It wasn't until I was in High School that I got it straight (after hearing about the t.v. show).

    Ah, I've remembered another one. My friend's little sister was very upset at a song lyric that she thought was "hooked on the ceiling." (Hooked on a feeling)

    Hmmm... quick research, may or not be 100%

    The B.J. Thomas version (1968 or 1969) didn't have the tribal chant. The 1974 version by Blue Sweede did. And David Hasselhof did a version too in 1997.

    The Hasselhof version (and video!) will truly make your day um.... complete. Just don't eat before viewing, you may die laughing.

    Oh... I can't let this pass. Must see:

    wow, he sure changed his voice with that. I mean, OOGA-CHUCKA" was no "I Just Can't Help Believin' When She Slips Her Hand In My Hand"

    He let David Hasselhof do a video.

    Wikipedia has it that the tribal chant originates with a 1971 version by British musician Jonathan King.

    The Blue Sweede version also changes some of the lyrics.
