Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy - The Misheard Lyrics Thread

[epilogue]

Lyric: “Lick the dirt off a larger one’s feet”

My buddy: “Lick the dirt off Olajuwon’s feet”

[i got bugs]

Mind your manners - "What they've taken" (is more than a vow) we always yell "Undertaker"

La bouche - beat my lover

Wagon wheel - pray to God I see head lice

Bruce prove it all night - ive been workin real hard tryin to keep my ass clean

I had Hash pipe from Weezer on once at work years ago, and had a customer complain about us playing a song about "ass wipe" i still hear ass wipe to this day because of him

Bruce prove it all night - ive been workin real hard tryin to keep my ass clean

Can’t hear it any other way now. Is this not the very essence of human existence? The why.

[LoathedVermin72]

I always thought the last line of the chorus in this song was "Gonna leave an ugly scar when you go," but I looked it up and apparently it's "Gonna leave an ugly skull when you go." I like my misheard version so much more.
