Lyrics

[vardathemessage]

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?

I dont know about fave incorrect lyrics, but my DVD doesnt have subtitles *pouts*

What fun! I hadn't noticed this before, and will definately be on the lookout for this when I watch again. I have the UK DVD and I think this computer will let you play across regions a few times, before it freezes up. I plan on giving it a try.

Without subtitles, I, myself, remember first believing the lyrics to be "fella boys / fella (or maybe hella, but didn't we just create that recently?) nervous". But then of course, I looked them up online after seeing the film.

And then,
ya know,
quoted the correct "fairy boys are pale and nervous"
on my livejournal the next day because i thought it was so *pretty*.
