baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell you what, it's good and they just like it. It does, excuse me while I kiss this guy. Interesting enough at the Monterey Pop Festival. If you listen to that, if you keep listening to his set there, he goes quiet for about, what do you say, 30 seconds. Then he comes out and he says, ladies and gentlemen, I want it because he has that nice calm talking. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna sacrifice something for you. And that's when he has that famous scene where he puts the guitar down, puts lighter fluid on it, and torches it. And now for my deliciously embarrassing story. I know this is gonna be good because

you are a stickler for this. It has to be perfect. I know. I'm picky as anything. I'm 17 years old, maybe 16. I just got out of a band. I am now without band. I get a call. Hey, we're putting a band together. Like the Blues Brothers. We're putting a band back together, man. We're putting a band together. You want to come over and try a trot for lead guitar. Love too. Put all the equipment in the back of the guitar, or back of my car, you know, my Camaro. Child of the 80s. Oh, you. Oh, stand back. And get over there, set the whole thing up, and we're picking out songs. We know how to play. You know any Led Zeppelin? Yes. Do trees have leaves? Sky blue. Yes, the sky blue. Yeah. What do you want to play? Do you know live in love and made? We're the purple umbrella and a 50 cent hat. Yeah, sure. Great. Now I don't sing, but I do sing backup. Say, one microphone set up for backup sings. They put me over on the right hand side of this day. You know, I'm clever and it's Clemens over there. And we take off. Boom! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Living, loving, dead in the morning. What? What? What? So they say dead in the morning? I did.

I've been singing dead in the morning just to hear this song. So I thought they were talking about you know, stand up on night, drinkin' drugin', you know, what Zeppelin did. And the drummer looks at me kind of you know cock -eyed and what are you doing? We get around to the course again Living loving dead in the morning. Now he goes Pitting the drums. What are you doing? What do you mean? What am I doing? What are you saying? Dead in the morning the lyric is she's just a woman. Wow. Oh Go on you want to start again? No, why don't we just play like Aussie? Do you know crazy train? Wow, I didn't get I didn't quite get the Apollo hook, you know, I got gone. I got gone. I really did So this is what it really sounds like and you tell me if it kind of sounds like dead in the morning Zeppelin rock school We're the purple umbrella in a 50 % hand It's a woman It

doesn't sound at all like dead in the morning. That's me, dude. Sorry. I can't go there with you It kills me that I got with a purple umbrella and a 50 cent hat that I get but no I got to get She's just a woman and dead in the morning. I have another one that my wife caught me on and there's nothing worse Then since my wife can't get the lyrics and she's the one that caught me on It's one by 10cc and if we have time to play it later on I will but yeah, you like back. Yeah, dude Let's go back to mellow gold 1993. Okay loser. I love that song. Why don't you kill me? I'm a loser, baby Before he says you already know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I think I do right before he says I'm a loser, baby He has something goes boom boom boom boom boom. I think it's so Open the door that makes sense because he's sort of You know pulling that word open over three or four syllables or according to Gavin Edwards in this book He says

zm people think he's saying soar from head to toe. Okay, so open the door. Soar hand in the door Okay, not even close. Okay. He's speaking Spanish. What? He's saying case? Okay, I'm sorry. What? Losi and oh, I'm sorry. What? Very little Spanish. Do I know soy un pedrador soy means I am Uh -huh. Oh, hey, a pedrador Loser loser. He's saying I'm a loser. That's right in Spanish. There you go. It's just Spanish in English That's it. Oh wait, I wouldn't get you. I don't know you well enough and I'm married Back loser What a son do it you baby. He's speaking Spanish. Get a

little bit of German right there I'm a loser, baby. It's back on rocks. It was we talk about misheard lyrics. Here's another one for you What do you know the first song played after the invasion of Gulf War one and the same song played after the invasion of Gulf War two? Can you do it? No the clash rock the Casbah. Now there's a couple in there that people want to know about Sherry don't like it rock the Casbah. Mm -hmm. What are these things? What are we talking about? Sherry don't like it. Are we talking about some young lady named Sherry? Are we I mean are we talking about the same girl that you know that the Sherry who I mean what are we talking about? No, it's Sherry's don't like it. Oh the sheriff don't like it. Mm -hmm wrong. What? Sherry don't like it. Sherry is a word that means protector of the tribe. Oh, Sherry don't like it. It spelled SH A -R -I -F. Sherry don't like it. Right. Rock the Casbah Casbah are they talking about a place to get a drink?

No Casbah. Casbah is sort of a fortress a place where you can go to be If you will protect it. Okay, so Sherry don't like it meaning a person who is a protector don't like it rock the Casbah What in the world does that line mean if you listen to the lyrics of it the reason the clash wrote the song It's from their 1982 album combat rock. They're talking about after the Ayatollah homani in Iran Decided to outlaw rock music. Okay. What they're saying is all these kids in Iran are dancing to rock music Mm -hmm the Ayatollah decides to scatter or Scramble the fighter pilots to go up and bomb all of these kids. Oh, the thing is once they get up there They start listening to rock music and the whole thing goes to heck and Sherry don't like it so Rock the Casbah That's what they're saying. Oh, so inside of this compound a rock show or a rock dance is going on and

the Sherry Don't like it the protector the mullah's not the right word, but you know the the protector doesn't like it It's like standing there going. It's a bomb shelter not a dance floor. Yeah pretty much. Okay clash. Hey rock the Casbah rock school Rock the Casbah the first song like it played after the invasion of Gulf War one and Gulf War two That's the clash here on rock school. We're going through this book here in my hand by Gavin Edwards called excuse me Well, I kiss this guy and other misheard lyrics. We've got one by the police coming up last week We talked about sting right you are not smart because you listen to sting right when you have to have a little bit of smarts Because he has all kinds of literary

references through his police tunes and we'll give you one that some people kind of go What yeah, we'll tell you what it is when we get back one minute rock school Oh Oh I like that music bed. Thank you. Yeah, I'll play more of that

Yeah, can we have all Van Halen music beds from this point on just for the fun of it? This is rock school and we are dealing with misheard lyrics things that people say either inadvertently or on purpose because they don't know what it is So they pick something that sounds close to it and go for it. Yeah, from the album Zenyatta mandata, which is hard enough to pronounce Yeah, 1981 is when it came up. This is the police don't stand so close to me sting makes the statement that book by Blah That book by pineapple cart pineapple cart book by Maxwell smart that book by The actual lyric is that book by Nabokov Nabokov Nabokov. I just say that book by Nabokov Nabokov. Don't you cough. Did you do's Nabokov? Nabokov is Vladmir that Miljevich Nabokov He wrote a book called Lolita, which was turned into a

movie by Stanley Kubrick Now why do we care if you listen to the song don't stand so close to me It's about an obsession by this young girl with her schoolmaster. Yes, well in the song He says numerous times don't stand so close to me don't stand so close me don't stand so close to me then later on He's driving past her. She's at this wet bus stop His car is warm and dry and you get the impression that he says well Okay, you can get into my automobile. Wow in the book this guy that the the character by Nabokov is obsessed with this young girl named Dolores Hayes So there is this you know back and forth this Lolita obsession within this song So that's what he means. Oh that book by Nabokov. Nabokov. Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov police on rock school

I can't afford it. We're in a recession. Not even underwear It is time for the most misheard and misstated lyrics song I think ever even weird Owl Yankovic went out of his way to state how Badly these guys state their lyrics near Vana Vana I'm a blado and bravado and scarecrow and Farming and warming yeah, the

actual lyrics are a mulatto and Albino a Mosquito My libido we're talking about smells like teen spirit. That's right from Nirvana's never mind. LP. That's the lyric Well, what does that mean a mulatto and Albino a mosquito my libido? I mean, I know what the words mean I get the you know the denotative meeting the dictionary meeting But what does the phrase mean? I don't necessarily have to mean anything. Yeah, it means nothing Kurt Cobain said there's many times he just liked the concept of you know this alliteration Mulatto all by no mosquito libido. It just fits. Yeah, it was nice It was rhythmic. It was fun coming out of the mouth Doesn't mean you get to mispronounce it doesn't mean you get to do it incorrectly and we have a stump Yeah, on the fine people of Nirvana. Well, it's actually a stump on lyrics to this song it involves lyrics to this song shoot in 2004 a box set for Nirvana was Released, okay, it

was titled blank Which are lyrics from this song? It won hmm one word. Let's see blank blank blank blank blank Forward blank blank blank Smells like teen spirit. It wasn't smells like teen spirit. It's from the smells like teen spirit With the light with the lights out very good. Is it really? Yes, pure adulterated guest? Let me throw one back at you. Go ahead. Go ahead. What smells like teen spirit. I don't know. It's an underarm deodorant really teen spirit That's where he got it really really Nirvana rock school Oh Music I'm getting higher, getting higher, getting higher, getting higher, getting higher, getting higher.

Tell the people what you did. What? Tell the people what you did. I sang the song wrong. The lyrics go with the lights out. It's less dangerous. To it all. No. Here we are now. Sure. And guarantee it. OK. Here we are now. Wattson. Don't you get it? It's a generation X. Entertain me. Here we are now. Entertain us. OK. That's it. With the lights out, it's less dangerous. Here we are now. Entertain us. I like my version better. Well, you're, yeah, well, you're, you're, you're wrong. You're wrong. Yeah. So what song are we playing next? I've forgotten now. I'm doing it in James' Dictionary. That's right. It is James' Dictionary. I forgot to shout out to the affiliates. I sang the song wrong. Well, you got me so worked up and nervous. I'm scared that I'm going to miss the call letters. Well, give it a shot. W -E -S -U, Middletown, Connecticut, 88 .1. Thank you so much for being in Affiliate of Rock School, as well as K -S -C -L -91 .3. Shreeport, Louisiana. Thank you so much for being in Affiliate of Rock School. And he doesn't have that one written down anywhere. No, it's all

in my head. So fantastic. James' Dictionary, Farrell. Ben caught stealing from the album. There it is. You speak Spanish a lot better than I do. No, I don't. Ritual, Day, Low, Habitual. Yeah. 1919. It's very serious. Now, this one isn't a very good, misheard lyric because it really doesn't have much to do with the tune, but I really like this song. So I wanted to get it in the show. Well, I know what you have this one in here. What he's doing is going back to that thing where they're messing with the syllables. Right, they're trying to get a single syllable across two or three beats of the music. Right. That's right. The lyric goes when I don't want to pay for it, it. Yeah. So it's really when I don't want to pay for it, but he goes when I don't want to pay for it. And it sounds like he's saying something else. I don't want to pay the rent, or I don't want to pay the curse word. Oh, yeah. And I don't want to pay. And it sounds like he's saying some other curse word. A lot of people curse there. They think he's saying something else. When in reality, he's just saying when I don't want to pay for it. Right. Now, it's not a very good, misheard lyric, but

still fun song. I love the tune. Jane's Addiction. Ben -Cott stealing. One of my favorites, Rock School. That's one of those songs that has a great video to it, but holds up when the video's not behind it. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yes, I do. It has that great scene where everybody's doing the stroll. You know, when you put two lines and you dance down the middle of it, the old guy doing it, and the guy who's actually stealing addresses up like the pregnant woman, and stills a watermelon. But it holds up so many songs when I hear it without the video behind it, it doesn't make it, but that one holds up. It's one of those songs where if I'm flipping channels on the radio and I hear it, I'm going to stop.

I have to stop. I'm going to stop. I'm going to listen to the whole thing, and I'm going to sing it probably wrong, but I'm going to sing it correctly. Now, you thought they were cursing somewhere else when he says, if I get by, it's mine. Well, because he doesn't say, if he says kind of like, if I get by, if I get by, he kind of starts with that. Say it fast enough radio audience. Yeah, it kind of sounds like cursing. Let's take a break. One minute. Rock School. Rock School. Rock School. Rock School. Rock School.

Rock School. Rock School. Rock School. Rock School. Rock School. Radio. Radio. Rock School. Radio. Radio. Radio. Radio. Oh, I love these new music beds you have for the sponsor break. That's wall of voodoo Mexican radio, isn't it? Which I was in Tijuana eating barbecue to go on. That's fantastic. Okay, this next one is specifically for my loving wife, which means I'm going to catch heck for this, because I always burn her a copy of these shows, handed to her while she's driving down to New Orleans, and which means when she gets back she's going to say, thank you for mentioning me again without asking my permission. We were listening to the radio one day and on came, you ready for a moldy oldy ladies and gentlemen? Go ahead. From 1978, this is the band Sniffin the Tears. What? Don't ask me where it came from. I looked and looked to find where this title

came from. You got me. If you and the radio listening audience know where Sniffin the Tears came from, I'd like to know, I hate being stumped, and I wish you would have, because I wouldn't have the answer. You'd have gotten me. The name of the song is Driver's Seats. Okay. And the reason I know it is because it was on the playlist of my last two radio stations, and actually featured fairly prominently. I mean, it was in our recurrent rotation, and it kept coming up. I probably played it once or twice a month, but enough that I knew it. Sniffin the Tears, I know you know it. The chorus goes Driver's Seat. Duh -du -du -du -du -du -du -du -du. Driver's Seat. We're driving down to New Orleans as we want to do all the time, and we're going along, and she's singing, and she's going, Travisty. Travisty. And I went, was that Travisty? Travisty. transmitted. And this is where my brain starts to go. Do I let this go, and have a very nice day, or do I correct her? Pick and choose your battles, Doc. pick and choose have

to correct her honey that's from the album fickle heart he's actually saying drivers seat and she turned to me and she said I don't care and continued to sing travesty with the rest of you and it drove you insane did it for the next three minutes she said travesty when in reality ladies and gentlemen drivers seat on rock school we're doing miss heard lyrics all from the book by Gavin
