So, back in college, we used to play a variation of Mad Libs. Basically, we'd pick a song title, and ask someone to give us a phrase based on how it would scan. So we'd ask for a gour-syllable noun or noun phrase with the accent on the first two syllables, someone would say "East Wichita," and we'd have to find a way to sing it to the tune of "Bad Medicine." The results weren't always great (as with regular Mad Libs), but we were pretty sure that was how Weird Al came up with his stuff.

Anyway, the point is that I've had Aerosmith's "(Dude) Looks like Ring Lardner" running through my head for a while now.

I so love you.

Because I'm putting bastardized Aerosmith songs in your head? ;-)

Back in my waiting tables days, I was constantly plagued by this hit by the Offspring:

Hey, we got a lot of silverware
We got to keep it seperated....

Filking (?) songs...

There is a song by Covenant - Dead Stars and has a line "Dead Stars still burn."
At the club with its friendly goths, it's been called "Dead Goths still swirl."

So this, combined with just plain mishearing the lyrics (excuse me while I kiss this guy) make for such fun things to run through one's head, eh?

My best one so far was listening to Audrey Hepburn sing "La Vie en Rose" in the movie Sabrina during my fourth or fifth time watching the movie. I got distracted and my brain heard "L'avion rose" and I turned back to the t.v. trying to figure out why she was singing about pink airplanes.

I spent the rest of the day amusing my brother with new lyrics involving pink airplanes. *grin*

The Red Hot Chili Peppers song Under the Bridge was big, at about the same time as I was really into the Adaams family pinball machine.

Sometimes I feel like
I must play some pinball
Sometimes I feel like
the only game
is the family of adaams,
the family I'm playin
focused as I am
together we play.
 
I shoot for the chair 
'cause thats where the points are
I shoot up the ramps
'cause the scorin is easy
they see my good shots and
she sco ores me highly,
I never worry
now that is a lie

Or words to that effect.

Heh. Gods, I spent hours on that pinball machine, too! One of the great games!
