This is wa-a-ay funny -- on a whim, I was looking up the lyrics to the theme song from the TV series The Jeffersons. While searching, I happened upon a site that gave not only the original lyrics, but also the many amusing ways in which the lyrics were misquoted/misrepresented/misinterpreted by the general public. Here are some of the highlights: 1. Misheard Lyrics: A tin can apartment in the sky Original Lyrics: A deluxe apartment in the sky 2. Misheard Lyrics: Now were up in the big league Gettin our turnips up. Original Lyrics: Now were up in the big league Gettin our turn at bat. 3. Misheard Lyrics: Were movin on up, Judys high. Shes finally got a piece of my mind Original Lyrics: Were movin on up, to the East Side. Weve finally got a piece of the pie. 4. Misheard Lyrics: Bees dont buzz by the grill. Original Lyrics: Beans dont burn on the grill. 5. Misheard Lyrics: To the peanuts and possum in the sky Original Lyrics: To a deluxe apartment in the sky 6. Misheard Lyrics: Limestone fry in the kitchen Dingdongs burn on the grill. Original Lyrics: Fish dont fry in the kitchen Beans dont burn on the grill. 7. Misheard Lyrics: Now were up in the big leagues, wearin our turtleneck vest. Original Lyrics: Now were up in the big leagues, gettin our turn at bat. 8. Misheard Lyrics: Took a hole out of two right hands Just to get up that hill. Original Lyrics: Took a whole lot of trying Just to get up that hill. 9. Misheard Lyrics: As long as were livin, chewin meat baby Original Lyrics: As long as we live, its you n me baby. 10. (saved the best for last!) Misheard Lyrics: Long sweet lips, a-chewing me, baby. There aint nothing wrong with that. Original Lyrics: As long as we live, its you and me, baby. There aint nothing wrong with that.
