Y'all know that one, right? The mis-heard song lyric, from Hendrix's PURPLE HAZE?
The actual line is "...'scuse me, while I kiss the sky..."

Well, today my little on-again/off-again band is rehearsing in our chick drummer's (Mary Ann; she can take you two falls out of three...) basement (The Fabulous Persian Room) and we're doing this great old Murray McLauchlan song called "Honky Red". It's sung from the point of view of a crazy old wino. There's this line in it:
"...Well, I fought in your wars / now I sleep in your doors / and I left my leg in France..."
...and our bass player's singing it-- for the first time, after listening to the CD-- and out comes this:
"...Well, I fought all the whores/ and I sleep out of doors/ and I lift my leg at friends..."

...and beer just ***SHOT*** out of my nose!
After the choking and gasping fit subsided, I set him straight on the lyrics, and we tried it again.
We all agreed that we kind of liked his version better, though.
I wonder if Murray would mind...


Okay, I'm glad I didn't have a mouthful of coffee, or I would have snorted THAT out my nose.... ;P
