Mishearing of "Wanna Go Walking," by Steve Coles
"I have a genuine misheard (but knew it was wrong right
away) BC lyric that
has given me a chuckle everytime that I listen to "Wanna Go
Walking". The
line that goes "got a hunger that sprawls like this galaxy"
I used to hear
as "got hundred inch balls like this galaxy". Like I said,
I knew that was
not right but that was the way that I heard until I finally
got out the
lyric sheet to see what it really was. Of course, that's
the way I still
think of it because it's so amusing. I mean, sure, hundred
inch balls are
big and all, but we're talking about the galaxy here, fer
crying-out-load."
