"So wop on the beat": Post your misunderstood TV theme lyrics here.

[Beware the Beast Man]

For some strange reason, I have the "One Day at a Time" theme as an earworm right now. I don't know, maybe I have Pat Harrington on the brain or something. Anyway, it reminded me of how when I was a young'n, I couldn't figure out the one line in the song. "So walk on your feet" became "so wop on the beat."

There has to be more misunderstood lines out there, right?

1. "A hot dog makes her lose control"

To this day I don't know whether that line is in the theme to the Patty Duke show, or was a creation of my adolescent mind

[Beware the Beast Man]

2. Actually, that is the correct line.

:shrug:

[Blue-Jay]

10. Freudian?

[terrya]

3. I really didn't think the line was "Gee, our old LaSalle ran great"...

from "All in the Family". I had no idea what they were singing, actually.

[Worst Username Ever]

4. "and the light of kalaidis goes by"

kaleidescope eyes, nimrod.

5. I was in my late 20's before I learned that the Three's Company theme

said "Down at our rendezvous". I thought they were just scatting, something like "Domma nah bah deh boo"

[Mixxster]

6. I think it's actually...

"So, up on your feet..."

[jackelope72]

7. ahhh, earworm!

now I can't get that damn "One Day At a Time" song out of my head!

[Beware the Beast Man]

9. Ok, that makes even more sense.

Thanks, and sorry for the earworm! :hi:

[Texasgal]

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

CCR. Is it " there's a bad moon on the rise'?

On edit: I am a dumbass, I just realized that this was TV themes. Sorry.

[jswordy]

11. That's OK. I thought the same thing when it came out!

Yes, "there's a bad moon on the rise."

But that song always makes me have to pee!
