Reading one of the other threads about singing in the car, it occured to me... Who else "improves" lyrics of songs on the radio when you sing along? What do you change them to? (non-dirty please)
Example: "She lies and says she likes Margerine, Can't find a Butter man!"
(edit: spelling)

My sister sings the most outrageously crazy and amusing lyrics because she doesn't know what the real words are. If I can get her to sing something for me, I write them here. It's really funny, but she always gets so self-concious.

"Hold me closer, Tony Danza."
"Once in the Tennessee town of old Knoxville, I fell in love with a red-headed girl. So smart and so witty and cute as a button, with dazzling smile and head full of curls."
I made that one up for Eve.
Plus minor things like changing "Brown-eyed girl" to "Green-eyed girl," and the her to you in "I'm a Believer."
Who'd a thought I'd be so sappy, huh?

to the tune of "Smells like Teen Spirit"
Turn the lights out, Turtle cages! Here we are now, In the cages!
Heck, those might even be the real lyrics.

A friend of mine has an annoying habit of calling people "Boss".
Well, we're both Beatle fans, so I thought I'd try and break him of the habit by replacing the word "boy" with "boss" in all the songs.
It worked, but now I can't stop singing:
BOSS!, you're gonna carry that weight!
or
I heard the news today, oh boss....

Hey, dude, don't make it bad Take a sad song and make it better Remember to let her into your heart Then you can start to make it better
Since I'm obviously not imaginative enough to come up with my own alternate lyrics, I will have to refer people to this page. Not all of 'em are excellent, but anyone who makes Linkin' Park's lyrics as ridiculous as they are gets points in my book.

I had a friend who used to sing a rousing rendition of "Secret Asian man!"

Once, Ron played NIN 'closer' in the car. I was horrified because the kids were there, and I didn't want them going around singing that.
But Ron sang, "I want a fuzzy little animal" instead of the most intelligible offensive lyrics. I laughed really hard, but managed to join in.
Ron does that a lot, but he also tends to make them MORE offensive, not less.
"Hold on to the night, hold on to the mammary."
Alternate lyrics to the Barney tooth-brushing song: " Oh, I'm brushing my teeth in my rectum-- I got 'em where you don't expect 'em!"
He only does this to make me laugh. It works.

I'm curious as to what cute lyrics he sang in place of "I want to feel you from the inside."
Hopefully something, because that line, in conjunction with the previous one concerning furry animals, could be the stuff of nightmares. Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :
one time in the car Lindsay and i had been driving for hours and were both getting pretty damn crabby, so i put in CURSIVE's THE UGLY ORGAN and pulled out her kazoo. we managed to scream along witht he words we did know and hte ones we didnt we'd just make up or sing LA LA LA as loud as we possibly could while the other one would play the kazoo. it kepot us from going insane. we went through the entire record including the long-ass closer right before we reached our destination so...yea...

That song must be impossible to figure out the lyrics to.
I think the actual lyrics go something like
With the lights out, it's less dangerous, Here we are now, Entertain us, A mulatto, An albino, A mosquito, My libido...
But I always thought the had to be something like:
"...Entertain us, I'm a ladder, I'm a ...? I'm a skater, I'm a beano, Yeah. Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :
I've made up different lyrics to YELLOW LEDBETTER by Pearl Jam everytime i hear it because nobody knows what eddie is actually singing.

Weird Al's video for his Nirvana spoof is hysterical - he sings while drinking water and spitting marbles out of his mouth.
Dagonee See Snarky, I spelled weird right. I probably misspelled something else, I know.

A friend of mine and I once, back in high school, "re-interpreted" Hotel California to describe the events of the OJ trial... It was surprisingly inspired.
But I can't remember the lyrics now.

I like to alter song lyrics to suit my narcissism:
quote: Night and day, I am the one. Only me beneath the moon and under the sun.

I like to change the song "Secret Asian Man" so that it sounds like "Secret Agent Man".
