Music Discussion

Okay, what lines in a song you heard that when you heard it, thought it said it differently than the actual words? One for me is a line in "Rock the Casbah" by The Clash and when it says "Fundamentally can't take it"; to me it sounded like "Mentally caught naked". I knew that wasn't it, but I didn't know the line anyways.
 
Then there's CCR's "Bad Moon Rising"; "There is a bathroom on the right".

Black Sabbath's ninth studio album, "Heaven and Hell" was released #OnThisDay in 1980. Did you know that Lynn Curlee's cover artwork was originally inspired by a 1928 photograph of women dressed as angels smoking backstage during a college Christmas pageant? The portraits of the band that appeared on the back cover were drawn by Harry Carmean.

I somehow came into possession of the Randy tribute album as a youngster and had it cranked up in my bedroom, just astonished by it. My dad walks in during Paranoid, looking half confused, half pleased.

"What are you listening to?"
"Ozzy."
"We called them Black Sabbath back when this song came out."

I showed him the album cover. "See? Ozzy. This is his band."

"Well, they sure fucked this song up." :pound:

Black Sabbath, eh? I was intrigued.

Next day at school I asked a fellow Ozz fan if he had a Sabbath tape I could borrow. I'd never heard them before. He finds me in the hallway the next day and hands me We Sold Our Souls for Rock & Roll. What a fucking gamechanger that was.


Fast-forward 30-something years. I'm driving him somewhere and Dio comes on the radio. He recognized the voice, but thought it was Ritchie Blackmore because of their band taking his name. So after he steered me towards Ozzy era Black Sabbath as a child, I had to school the old man on who RJD was and the fact that he joined Sabbath after Ozzy and they made some killer music together as well. That was oddly satisfying. Ha

I still remember a lot of these lyrics by heart. I mean their lyrics were pretty basic, nothing too far out here.
