Misheard Song Lyrics

[Webby140]

Justin Timberlake's Rock Your Body

"You don't have to admit you're Paul McVay" [You wanna play]
"I'm gonna have to neck it by the end of this song." [have you naked]

"Neck it" is a British expression for downing a drink in one, or drinking something quickly - typically in a pub.

OK, I'm amused by the "neck it" part...a non-fan might indeed be driven to chug a brew after hearing that song.

But who the heck is Paul McVay?

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I was watching 120 Minutes on VH-1 Classic and caught the classic Rollins video, "Liar."

Which reminded me that, while it was a deliberate decision (IOW, not misheard), I used to occasionally sing the song substituting "lawyer" for "liar"...shortly after passing the Bar Exam.

Rollins Band › Liar (altered)

You think you're going to live your life alone
In darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
You've been out there and tried to mix with those animals
And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
So you stagger back home and wait for nothing
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets
And now you're desperate and in need of human contact
And then you meet me and your whole world changes
Because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
So you drop all you defenses, I'm perfect in every way
cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
You feel so lucky
But your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to
Wonder why things are going so well
You want to know why?

cause I'm a lawyer, yeah, I'm a lawyer
I'll tear (rip) your mind up, I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me
cause I'm a lawyer, alawyer, a lawyer, a lawyer...

I'll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
And I'll tell you things that you already know so you can say:
I really identify with you, so much
And all the time that you're needing me is just the time
That I'm bleeding you, don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction then I'll leave you like an addiction
You'll never forget me... you wanna know why?

I dont know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
Maybe its something inside, maybe its something I can't explain
'cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a lawyer, ooh, I'm a lawyer
But if you'll give me another chance I swear I'll never lie to you again
cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
They're stronger than truth
I cat believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again
Please, just give me more chance, I'll never lie to you again, no,
I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will never tell a lie, no, no
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! sucker! sucker! sucker!

I am a lawyer, yeah, I am a lawyer, yeah, I am a lawyer
I lie you, I feel good, I am a lawyer, yeah
I lie x4 ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie
I'm a lawyer, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I like it, and again
I like it again and I'll keep lying, I promise

Oddly enough, it still works!

Simpson's 'Pieces of me' I always thought was 'Pictures of me'.
