The TRUE Lyrics in a Song

connorbush posted a pic said Fri, Jun 26th 2015 at 4:27pm ET

So. Well. Uhm. I mean. It is a generally accepted fact that Alicia Keys says "Concrete jungle wet dream tomato." Are there other songs with hidden lyrics (from the Illuminati of course)? Please share the covert lyrics of songs and links to said songs.

Also, is there some advanced English word for songs that toats sound like lyrics that are not actually the lyrics but totally are? Like homophone or something along those lines.

She actually sings "concrete jungle where dreams are mated", presumably referring to the Bronx's Zoo's attempts to mate pandas and also dreams.

One of my kids when he was younger thought Sharp Dressed man by ZZ Top, was " 'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a shot glass man".

My daughter when she was younger thought "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" was "Knockin' on Kevin's Door". (Kevin is the name of her father btw.)

Ever since, these are the lyrics I sing to these songs.

Kids…sigh. Louie Louie, The Kingmen…and the FBI…from wikipedia…

The Kingsmen’s edition was the subject of an FBI investigation about the supposed but nonexistent obscenity of the lyrics, an investigation that ended without prosecution.

Another factor in the success of the record may have been the rumor that the lyrics were intentionally slurred by the Kingsmen—to cover up the alleged fact that the
lyrics were laced with profanity, graphically depicting sex between the sailor and his lady. Crumpled pieces of paper professing to be “the real lyrics” to "Louie Louie"
circulated among teens. The song was banned on many radio stations and in many places in the United States, including Indiana, where it was personally prohibited by
Governor Matthew Welsh.

These actions were taken despite the small matter that practically no one could distinguish the actual lyrics. Denials of chicanery by Kingsmen and Ely did not stop the controversy. The FBI started a 31-month investigation into the matter and concluded they were "unable to interpret any of the wording in the record."
Ironically, however, drummer Lynn Easton later admitted that he yelled “Fuck” after fumbling a drumstick at 0:54 on the record.

- @eeterrific - Reminds me of the Rolling Stones’ “Let’s Spend the Night Together” - quite scandalous at the time. Radio stations bleeped it, and they had to change the lyrics to “Let’s spend some time together” on the Ed Sullivan Show.

- @djslack Hey now, DJ Khaled has come up with all sorts of hype phrases. “Another one”, “We da best myujick”, and of course “DJ Khaled” to name a few. Maybe he comes up with beats? I don’t know much about the industry… I do find it funny they he’s featured in the songs/videos when he really has no part in the music other than saying his name.

  And yes, the Carlos Santana guitar sample is equally annoying in that song. I mean, that’s been done before.

Ah OK, HERE’S the thread I was looking for!

For YEARS I was SURE that the lyrics to Ringo Starr’s It Don’t Come Easy went “Contemplate Jews if you want to sing the blues and you know it don’t come easy.” Later in the song he sings something I always interpreted as “Use Jello-plast, it will soon be yours tomorrow.” I assumed “Jello-plast” was some British thing, like Bovril.
