Speaking of Springsteen, for years I couldn't figure out "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out." Remembering an old song called "Devil With the Blue Dress On" (by Mitch Ryder), what I heard was "Dev-Devil with a Bleeze Out." I figured it must be Jersey slang.

was surprised to find out that in Madonna's 'Bedtime Stories the line was "I'm not a bitch don't hang that $#!+ on me".
Thought the line was "I'm not a fish, don't hang that shirt on me".
Didn't really question it because Bjork wrote the demmed thing.

I'm still trying to figure out what a "pompatus" is (from "The Pompatus of Love")...

I read an article once that explained "pompatus." Apparently, Steve Miller misheard an old blues record with a made-up word, "puppetute" (puppet + prostitute).

I could have sworn for some time that Alanis Morrisette was singing about "a death-row hard-on two minutes too late."
Isn't it ironic?
Hic!

There's a line in John Cougar's "I Need a Lover" that I swear sounds like, "Hey, I'm so weak somebody s--t on my fat lie right now!"
