Mixed Up Lyrics

I love to sing! I've loved singing for as long as I can remember. Once, when I was about 5 and I was riding in the back of our Chevy El Camino to pickup my older siblings from school and my mom told me to either stop singing or move to the very back of the vehicle (she was listening to talk radio). I moved. Also, when listening to my Walkman and doing the dishes (age 10-15), my siblings would ask me to stop singing. Could they really hear me? I could hardly hear myself over the music!

Sometimes I don't know what the words to the song are, but just sing what I think they are. Here are a few lyrics of what I sing. Can you tell what songs they're from?

  1. The heart of rock 'n roll is to beat ya.
  2. She seems to have an invisible Tuff Shed.
  3. I know this church is true.
  4. Cleaning product from the kitchen.
  5. Now the Czar, Now the Czar.
Other times, I purposely change lyrics to songs. Like singing "We are the Champions" with the letter P at the start of each word. This is a jingle from 1982. My older brother and sisters changed the words, but I sang with gusto every time they would start into it.

Tab, Tab Cola what a sickening drink.
Tab, Tab Cola for ugly, fat people.
Tab, Tab Cola is poisonous to drink,
Tastes tart and 10 billion calories.

(Here is a youtube video of the original commercial.)

I remember you guys changing the lyrics to the tab cola commercial.

I got the first one: The heart of rock 'n roll, but you've got me stumped on the rest of them.

Noelle I think you helped us change the lyrics! I know you changed them for "This Land is Your Land."
This land is my land
This land ain't your land
I got a shotgun
And you ain't got one
If you don't get off
I'll blow your head off
This land is private property.

I have heard variations of these words, so maybe Noelle didn't come up with them on her own.

Now for Malauna:
1. The Heart of Rock 'n Roll
2. Invisible Attraction
3. I know this much is true
4. ???
5. How bizarre

Then don't forget my favorites:
1. Gimme, gimme, gimme a letter for me boy
2. Lucy in the sky looked down
3. Billie Jean is not my brother

Shanda, I was hoping you'd add some of your own. You have 1, 3 and 5 correct.

Billie Jean's lyrics for me were: "I feel the chains at my door" instead of "Billie Jean is not my lover" ha ha.

I LOVE that photo of you guys from Genette's wedding, I hadn't seen it before. You all just look so cute and loving.

I didn't invent the new lyrics to "This Land is Your Land" but I did pass the information on to you guys. (It was the least I could do.)

How about Come Come Ye Saints?
Come come, ye saints
No toilet paper here.
Wipe you tush
On a bush.

I still got it (an absolute lack of appropriate behavior).
