[Bertha Venation]

One ton tomato!
I need a one ton tomato!
One ton tomato
I need a one ton tomato.

What song?

Post yours. Maybe this game will catch on.

[cliffordu]

1. Had an incredible long term argument with someone over the lyrics to 'Jumpin' jack flash'.

They claimed it was "Force Five Hurricane"

Then the movie 'Crossfire Hurricane' came out.......

I win.

[cliffordu]

2. There was a 7 piece funk band called Pyramid back in the '70's

that were regulars at a bar I worked -

They sang it:

"One ton of Mierda,

You're just a one ton of Mierda......"

[frogmarch]

3. Guantanamera!

But one ton tomato is catchier!

Here's mine:

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bathroom on the right

[pinboy3niner]

4. To confuse matters further, Fogerty regularly sings the 'bathroom' line in concert :) nt

[frogmarch]

5. haha, well at

least I wasn't alone in hearing "bathroom"

[Bertha Venation]

8. also

there's a baboon on the right

I don't know why, but singing "one ton tomato" just cracks me up.

[Brother Buzz]

6. "There's a bathroom on the right"

Convince me John Fogerty isn't singing "There's a bathroom on the right" in the last verse.

71. "Leave the sinking ship behind"

always sounds like "Leave the stinking shit behind" to me

[pipi_k]

7. One from

my youth. Probably won't be too hard to guess, but the funny thing about it is that I never knew the actual words until maybe, oh...ten years ago...


Suspicion (torments my heart)

Suspicion (keeps us apart)

Suspicion (wipe out your ears)


then there was:

"I'm your penis...I'm your fire and your desire..."

[Bertha Venation]

9. Hahahaaha -- I've never heard that one

Love it!

As for "I'm your penis" -- yep. I can't hear that song without hearing that word.

[MADem]

44. Oh Peeeeee ..... nisssss!!

Penis if you will,
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you.

Penis, make her fair
A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
And take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me.

[Sivart]

10. Hold me close

Hold me close young tony danza.....

37. Lyrics sites have 'Just the beer light to guide us'

Though some of them substitute 'a' for 'the.' You can find the lyrics by googling the line.

[Tom Ripley]

55. my wife admitted a while back

That she thought Paul Simon's 'Kodachrome' (she's too young to remember Kodachrome) was about a mother wanting to keep her son from leaving home, so "Mama's gonna take my coat and comb away" because you surely wouldn't leave home without a coat and a comb.

[BarbaRosa]

Truckin' got my chips cashed in.
