August 14, 201511 yr Author I have always dug Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit' with its groovy, trippy, mystical unique one of a kind vibe, and for years while singing along I just knew that I wasn't completely keen on the exact lyrics while mumbling along with what I thought the words sounded like. With it being a drug related tune, I just thought that perhaps it wasn't supposed to really make any sense. The song came to my mind tonight, and I decided to once and for all check out what the true lyrics were compared to what I have all along thought that they were. Oh I was so wrong numerous times... Even now with knowing what the real lyrics are I still can't stop singing it the wrong way that I've been singing it all along. Here are the real lyrics: "White Rabbit" One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's off with her head Remember what the dormouse said Feed your head Feed your head ...and here's what I always thought that Grace Slick was singing: "White Rabbit" One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em all hookah-smoking character Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small When the man on the chessport Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving on Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen I'll be dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's on her head Remember let the dog outside Feed your head Feed your head

August 14, 201511 yr :laugh: We are ALL guilty of this on more than one occasion. Only if you mess up and take the brown acid. It's not particularly good, I've heard.

August 15, 201511 yr I thought it was : When logic and proportion Have fallen on your head And the White Knight is walking backwards And the Red Queen's off of her bed Remember what the doorman said Feed your head Feed your head
August 15, 201511 yr Author I thought it was : When logic and proportion Have fallen on your head And the White Knight is walking backwards And the Red Queen's off of her bed Remember what the doorman said Feed your head Feed your head The biggest crack up for me is thinking that: "Remember what the dormouse said" was... "Remember let the dog outside"
August 5, 201610 yr Author INXS - The One Thing What it is: Well you know just what you do to me The way you move soft and slippery Cut the night just like a razor Rarely talk and that's the danger What I hear: Well you know just what to do to me The way you move soft and slippery Cut the knife just like a razor Barely top the mashed potatoes
August 10, 201610 yr Pina Colada Song. "If you like making love at midnight and the dews on the cake." Honestly wondered what the world? Later realized it was: In the dunes on the cape.
August 11, 201610 yr Pina Colada Song. "If you like making love at midnight and the dews on the cake." Honestly wondered what the world? Later realized it was: In the dunes on the cape. Can't recall what flick it is with Christina Applegate and somebody else where this song figures prominently. I kind of like it. Carmen Diaz, maybe?
August 11, 201610 yr Pina Colada Song. "If you like making love at midnight and the dews on the cake." Honestly wondered what the world? Later realized it was: In the dunes on the cape. And I always thought they said, "if you do suffocate." It never made sense, but I rolled with it.
August 11, 201610 yr Back to "White Rabbit" .... Stephanie Calvert sings with Starship w/ Mickey Thomas and does a nice job on the song. I've met her a couple of times, really nice gal, great voice. She even favors a young Grace . Here's her doing "Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love."
August 11, 201610 yr I had a friend who thought that Sting was NOT singing "Free, free; set them free . . ." but was instead "Feet, feet; suck my feet." :lol2: I would not believe that except I heard him singing it that way one day and had to correct him. (I smacked him in the back of the head :thumb:)
March 31, 20179 yr Author In England Dan & John Ford Coley's cornball 1976 tune "I'd Really Like To See You Tonight", I could never figure out what he was singing in the first line of the chorus: I'm not talking about movin' in And I don't want to change your life But there's a warm wind blowin' the stars are out And I'd really love to see you tonight Though it made no sense, all these years my brain kept hearing... "I'm not talkin' 'bout the linen"
August 18, 20179 yr Author Though I could never say that I was fully convinced that what I thought I was hearing was what I was truly hearing, but until the Bob Seger thread, I always thought that "Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight" was "Betty Lou's Gettin' Married Tonight" where Bob just wasn't exactly fully saying married, but more or less "Gettin' Marred Tonight", as if to say that she was no longer available.
