I heard this:

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, chameleon,
You come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if you color so like my dreams:
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green.

I heard come-a come-a come-a come-a, cumma chameleon!

Hush hush. [we've been downtown, was so scary.]
Hush hush. Keep it down now, voices carry. - 'Til Tuesday

[Kick an open door] and baby you'll find love again.
Keep an open heart and baby you'll find love again. -Tesla

[Blah blah blah blah] an innocent guy, [some turned off for pumpin some gas.]
On upon love, an innocent guy, soon turned out, had a heart of glass. -Blondie

Reach out and [suck face]
Reach out and touch faith. - Depeche Mode


My hs friend though the following:

Did you exchange, a walk-on part in the war [for a Negro in a cage!]
Did you exchange, a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage. -Pink Floyd

You [better] count your money while you're sitting at the table
You never count your money while you're sitting at the table. -Kenny Rogers

Oops. Sorry, Dirt Grinder! I always thought the song was about a man who had a number of girls while he was on the road, "where skies are blue," but he wanted his girlfriend to know that in the end he'd always come back to her.

Here's another one:

"I was educated
At Woodstock"

From "(just like) Starting over" by John Lennon

I understood:
It's time to spread our weaving flat

He sings:
It's time to spread our wings and fly

[kayanne]

I just thought of another one.

I had heard "The Wobble" at several different weddings and events. I enthusiastically sang along and joined in on the line dance when DJs played it. But I was singing, "Walk it baby, walk it baby, walk it baby, walk."

They are actually saying "Revved up like a Deuce, another roller in the night." (A Deuce is a 32 Ford, in case anyone didn't know)

Thanks! I ALWAYS wondered what that lyric line was and glad you told me what a Deuce was too. Giving you a rep point.
