Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza
Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza: And Other Misheard Lyrics | Charles Grosvenor, Jr.
2 posts | 5 to read
We've all done it ? misheard a song lyric and sung along with the wrong words for months or years before being corrected. Whether you heard "Even if you're Ted Danson in the dark," instead of "Even if we're just dancin' in the dark," or confused "Jamie's out of gum" with "Janie's got a gun," this book is an ode to faulty hearing and mumbled lyrics everywhere. The artists presented here vary from pop idols Britney Spears, Billy Joel, and the Backstreet Boys to hard rockers like Def Leppard to urban groups such as Destiny's Child and Black Eyed Peas. Including parodies, fantasy duets, potential commercial soundtracks, and humorous tidbits, this book is perfect for both trivia lovers and those in search of a laugh.

My husband has been entertaining at least half of us by reading the ridiculously misheard lyrics. Some are hilarious, some are just really?!

Examples:
"I love it when you feed me fresh pasta"
"A suped up Chevy Nova with some guy"
"I write prose in different area codes"
"Shop at the mart, and you're too late"
"Big Simpson, spreadin cheese"

Feel free to take at stab at the *correct* lyric ?

LiteraryinPA I know 2 and 4 but I‘m curious about the others! 7y
suvata 😂😂😂 7y
suvata Misheard lyrics are called mondegreens. Just a stupid fact that I happen to know ... never thought I‘d have a chance to share that with someone. LOL 7y

Laura317 Is “There‘s a Bathroom on the right” in there? 7y
Kris10 I think I know them all except one. Suped up Chevy Nova is Champagne Supernova? 7y
MaureenMc I believe “Shop at the mart” is from Bon Jovi‘s You Give Love a Bad Name. 😄 7y
mabell @LiteraryinLititz @Kris10 @MaureenMc You all are good! I don't think I could have guessed the correct song without the answer 😆 You know them all @Kris10 ?! 7y
mabell @suvata That is awesome! 👍Who would have known there was a word for misheard lyrics! 7y
mabell @Laura317 No, but it should have been! 😂 7y
Kris10 @mabell I think so! The other three are rap songs: big pimpin, I love it when you call me big papa, and h*** in different area codes? 7y
mabell @Kris10 Wow! Nailed it! 👏👏😂😂 7y
Kris10 @mabell I got those three immediately. Maybe I should back off listening to the 90s rap music 😂😂 7y
mabell @kris10 Same here! On both counts 😂 7y
