We were in the car driving home the other night and Lenny Kravitz’s “American Woman” was on the radio. I started singing…”American woman, stay away from meeeee” and from the back seat I hear, “Mom is a naked woman, when she sleeeeeeps”. Oh.my.God. I was laughing so hard I almost crashed the car.

LOL – Kids’ versions of lyrics sometimes actually make more sense to me than the real ones do. Go figure. But yeah, that would’ve made me crash too. 🙂
She really likes to stir the pot. Even if she knows the lyrics she’ll make up something off the wall to get me going. It’s a riot.
When I was little there was a Catholic school prayer that started out ” I believe in God, the Father Almighty”. For the longest time I thought it was “I believe in God, the Father of all my teeth”. I wonder how many people laughed at me back then.
“Mom is a naked woman, when she sleeeeeeps”. Now that one is priceless.
Hahahah. “God, the Father of all my teeth”….that’s fantastic!
Now I want to question her as to what she thinks the lyrics are for other songs. Hmmm…I feel a post coming on.
I’m guilty of the “twisted lyrics” technique all the time, but only because I don’t know the actual words. That, and I’m a nut. 😛
I think everyone has twisted the lyrics at some point. Oh, but you are a nut…so maybe that helps. 😉
I’m working on my list of twisted lyrics (some from when I was very young)…too funny. I shall post it soon.
It’s so funny when you actually sing it.
i sang it to myself three times. And it was funny every time. 🙂
At my Mom’s 55th Birthday party last Sunday, my 8 year-old performed a little ditty for her as a gift.
You’re turning fifty-fiiiiiive!
And I’m glad you’re still aliiiiive!
Yeah. She’s sweet.
Hahahaha. Kids always know the perfect thing to say…or sing. E actually thought he was singing “Naked woman”…she added the “Mom’s a naked woman” bit for effect. She’s good like that.
That’s so great! 😆
It’s so funny to hear songs now that I listened to as a kid… the lyrics have a whole new meaning when you hear them correctly!
The beginning of Madonna’s song Vogue… when she says “what are you looking at” I used to hear as “Funky little hat” 😛
And I thought Madonna’s “Dress You Up” lyrics went like this…”Gonna dress you up in nylons”!!! Ha. Good times!
And ARE you a naked woman when you sleep? Hmm, hmmm??? 😉
Ummmm…what ever would give you that idea? Hmmm? Hmmm? Ha.
Hilarious! Kids crack me up. I’m guilty about twisting lyrics all the time. I still don’t know what Sophie B. Hawkins says in her song As I Lay Me Down so I just rotate between saying “Who loves Paco” and “I want a taco”.
As I lay me down to sleep…”I want a taco”…. that’s awesome!
I think I shall sit her down and see what other twisted lyrics she has up her sleeve.
That is hilarious. You can’t make that stuff up. And there is nothing wrong with commando slumber.
Nope. No making that stuff up. Commando slumber is mighty fine.
Yes, never have any secrets as long as you have children living in the house. Too funny.

that is hilarious! When I was a kid I used to think that AC/DC’s “Shook me all night long” was actually “She wore all nylon.” Nowadays I get to hear my own son come up with the funniest lyrics to everything. “Where the deer and the cantaloupe play” comes to mind.
Kids can be so funny. I used to hate the idea of having my own, but in the past year or so I started to wonder why that was, and now I am looking forward to having a family when I’m older. Stuff like this is priceless and worth all the hard work, so my parents tell me.
In terms of twisted lyrics, there’s a Pussycat Dolls song out in the UK at the moment that has a line: “When I grow up, I wanna have groupies” and it was being discussed on our national radio station and loads of people texted in to agree with the presenters when they said that they thought the line went: “When I grow up, I wanna have boobies”. They interviewed one of the girls from the group (the one going out with Hamilton), and she was really shocked! (Mind you, she did sound totally vacant anyway…)
Oh yes, definitely worth all the hard work…especially if they keep you in stitches.
Hahhaha. Groupies = boobies. That’s great. I always thought Elton John’s “Benny and the Jets” lyrics went like this: “she’s got electric boobs…” I was so enamored with that song when I was young…because, I too, couldn’t wait to have ‘electric boobs’!!
