Topic: You gobble deviled eggs.

So my wife got me the album "Foundation" from Zac Brown Band.  It has on it the song "Whatever It Is", which is very popular on the country radio stations in the U.S. right now and has been for a good while.  Upon reading the title of the song and hearing the song, I finally figured out that he was singing 'You've got whatever it is'...   

Up to now, whenever I heard that song, with the enunciation and phrasing used, it sounded like he was singing 'You gobble deviled eggs'..., which did not sound nearly as complementary to the woman about which he is singing as does the rest of the song.

Re: You gobble deviled eggs.

there's a book about Olive.

Olive is a dog, who thinks she must be a reindeer because of the song.  So she goes and helps Santa deliver toys.  Very cute book.  But I guess Papaguitar's not the only one to hear it that way.

Re: You gobble deviled eggs.

For years on end I thougt in the Fleetwood Mac song "Edge of Seventeen" where Stevie Nicks sings "white winged dove" I thought she was singing "a wide window" Not sure now when or where I was when I figured out what it really was, but it's always at the point I'm sure we all have this dumb-founded look on our face.

His enunciation in this live video is much better than the studio version that's on the radio.  But see if you don't hear "you gobble deviled eggs".

For the record, this is one current favorite new 'radio' band right now.  I think they're making some terrific music and their "Toes" song is one of the ones I plan on working on next.

Funny stuff!
Travis Tritt had a line in his song that went
" I spell t-r-o-u-b-l-e"
A little girl was singing it as "I spilled Tea all over you and me".

Re: You gobble deviled eggs.

Good time to start a thread about misheard lyrics, like ""Scuse me while I kiss this guy."

The first time I heard Let It Be, I'd swear McCartney sang "Although the baby farted, there is still a chance that they will see."

Me with my first ukulele, a Junior Beatles model, in 1966.  After Mom threw it down the stairs in a fit of rage, I became a drummer for life.  At age 43, I bought my second uke...

I seriously always thought that Dwight Yoakam had "Pickles in his head" from the song A Thousand miles from nowhere!!!
