Hey waters here from the waters wake-up call had a great tunes day this morning talking about misheard lyrics
My daughter who's called now when she was four we were listening to Bon Jovi And just sitting in the backseat and all of a sudden we heard whoa living on air That's
kind of a joke
and I kind of figured out that she's figured out the meaning of life Life is going well.
You're living on air and if it's not you're living on a prayer.
Well, yeah, you pray you're
stay up in the air and not fall down on your bottom.
You know what I
mean?
For
sure.
It's got to be the cutest thing in the world to hear a four-year-old from the backseat singing Bon Jovi, and the wrong lyrics are just makes it cuter, I guess.
It was.
Yeah.
And still to this day, we still sing her lary when it comes on the radio.
And I think I'm going to now as well.
Live out in the air.
I
think you should, too.
Because I do.
I am living on the air.
It's what I do all morning.
That's true.
I've got to miss her lary by
at least yes I just realized here like in the last month
yeah
I was watching a video of Steve Miller apparently can't understand Steve ever I
guess
fly like an eagle and the lines you know he talks about how's the people living the streets be the children that need to eat all that sort of thing right it ends with a line of oh revolution the revolution or something like that
okay
I always thought he got that line he said oh there's a solution I think the perfect sense to me
well I think
the actual lyric is there's a solution.
That's why I heard all those years.
I never even heard Revolution in it.
The lyric is, I want to feed the babies who can't get enough to eat.
I want to shoe the children new shoes on their feet.
I want to house the people living in the street.
Oh, there's a solution.
That is the right lyric.
I was hearing it right.
Yeah.
So you said you saw a live version of Steve Miller doing that.
Musicians will change the lyric on a song that they've been singing the same way for decades.
and think, well, you know, I think I'd rather turn that word into this word.
So, Solution became a revolution for at least that particular live show.
Well, then I heard the, I think it was a studio version later on.
I could have sworn he said revolution at one point in
it.
Yep.
That
should be Mount Vernon's song.
That's great.
I love that one.
Okay.
Have you tested this?
Have you listened to it and heard Ted Nansen?
Okay, I got it.
I've never heard Ted Danson in Bad Medicine.
We will now enjoy your new life.
I only thought for a long time that that song by George Harrison, I got my mind set on you, was Wake Up I Might Sit On You.
And I saw that
and somebody pointed it.
Wake
Up I Might Sit.
I thought that I'd share that with
you.
That's good.
You know, it can be a practical warning at times,
really.
Basically
your mind is gonna sit on somebody you know the mind is on you so sitting on It's
like
your brain is programmed now because that's the way you first heard it probably for years I might sit on you was what you were singing with George that's great and silly and awesome all at the same time
about 30 years ago when I was a little boy my parents were big Boston fans and the one song that always came on and caught my ear was
It was a piece of mine, but it was not a piece of mine, it was a piece of pie.
I don't know if that's because my mom was an excellent pie maker.
Especially if you're a kid, I'm sure you loved pie, and I'm sure your mom made great pies, and maybe you didn't understand the concepts.
Let me give you a piece of my mind if you're a kid.
You know, like, excuse me while I kiss this guy.
Kiss the sky, what's that, man?
Nobody understood it, so everybody thought, well, that can't be it.
It's gotta be kiss this guy.
For a five-year-old, it sounds like a great battle era.
That's funny, I was talking about when I was a little kid,
take it to the limit by the Eagles, I thought it was take it to the lemon.
I probably had no understanding at that age what a limit was.
That
could be a good lyric, too, for some days of the week.
Yeah, I'd have to say Monday is the lemon of the week.
A very shriveled lemon.
Hopefully yours are not shriveled.
Well, thank you.
I hope yours aren't shriveled
either.
Thanks, Mike.
Appreciate it.
My sister had, uh, remembered Thrust for
Success.
Yeah.
Roxette.
Yeah.
She's, uh, saying I'm gonna get fresh for safe sex.
Not success, safe sex.
That's great.
And remember kids, you know safe sex is success.
A little PSA there just to toss that
in.
Rock the Kazba.
Okay.
It does not sound like rock to me.
No, what does it sound like?
It sounds like a bad word that starts with F. So if
you thought that word was that word, what did you think Kazba was?
I
don't know.
But I asked my son, who's a musician, how come they allowed him to use that word and he said rock?
Right.
And I said, well, that's not what it sounds like.
And he said they did that on
purpose.
In that area that they're singing about, they outlawed music.
Oh.
So really, I mean, rock, the Casbah, or that other word, both were.
Even after he told me that.
It still sounds like the F-word to me.
You know, we'll have to do it, Chattie Cathy.
What?
Play the song.
Okay, do it.
Yeah.
And you listen and see if I'm not wrong.
Okay, and you listen to see if it sounds like what I thought it was my misheard lyric.
Rock the cash bar.
Okay.
Weekday mornings, 5.30 to
10.
