If you turn on closed captioning on the VHS or go to the DVD menu and click on captions, the song lyrics pretty much narrate the whole story. There's even a cute [Glam-Rock] to indicate when a song is playing. There are however, a lot of mistakes since the art of deciphering rock & roll lyrics is a fifty year old tradition not yet perfected. Those who know the lyrics to the vintage glam songs will have a bit of a giggle and others will be perplexed because they are downright bizarre in spots. Like these from "Hot One"

"when you're walking all the fella boys are fella nervous" instead of
"when you walk by the fairy boys are pale and nervous" and

"cause this booing is one of mourning" instead of
"this wooing is what I'm wanting."

What's your favorite incorrect lyric?

Quotes We Like

We are already at a point where an appeal to rock 'n' roll will tell us almost nothing worth knowing, though this is, finally, a rock 'n' roll story. Real mysteries cannot be solved, but they can be turned into better mysteries.
