DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?

Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy is a hilarious collection of over 275 lines people think they've

heard in pop songs from the 1960s to the 1990s. Now you can come out of that closet and proudly sing

whatever you think you hear. Don't deny it! You know you've sung totally absurd lyrics in

place of the real-and usually less interesting-ones. (It's nothing to ashamed of-most rock stars

never took elocution classes.) Breeze through some of the world's most widely misinterpreted lyrics,

including:

"The ants are my friends/They're blowin' in the wind" ("The answer my friend/Is blowing' in the

wind"-Bob Dylan)

"Sweet dreams are made of cheese" ("Sweet dreams are made of this"-Eurythmics)

"The girl with colitis goes by" ("The girl with kaleidoscope eyes"-The Beatles)

Whether it's Eddie Vedder singing about "forty-five versions of a pelican" or Bruce Springsteen

proclaiming "everybody's got a hungry horse," 'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy is sure to make

you want to get your hearing checked.

While I found most of the erroneous lyrics very funny, I also found there were a few songs that were missing.

It wasn't what I expected. It is kind of amusing however if actually sing the tune with the misheard lyric they provide.

My best friend and I picked up a copy of this book at a used book store on a lark, and afterwards, we stopped for ice cream. We brought the book in with us, and began to read. It was hysterical! It was a lot of fun to read the misheard lyrics together, and we were laughing so hard we had the attention of everyone else at the ice cream parlor. My best friend picked a guy up because of this book. Fun stuff.

I have read and sung so many lyrics in my career - and heard so many funny mis-interpretations of lyrics. My own kids "murdered" some lyrics when they were small. This book is a kick! Just sit back and relax and enjoy some chuckles at the end of the day!!
