proxy of GazWOS for Buffett's "Fins", the only top 40 hit to mention the word "remora".

BOS Cheap Trick", "Dream Police".

WOS Triumph, "Lay it on the Line", bombastic claptrap at its worst.

VHM ELO. From Wiki:

Quote
A common mondegreen in the song is the perception that, following the title line, Jeff Lynne shouts "Bruce!" . However, according to liner notes, he is actually saying a made-up word "Groos". This is similar to a German word for "greeting", Gruß possibly referring to the Bavarian greeting Grüß Gott the group would have heard while recording the album in Munich. However, after the song's release, so many people had misinterpreted the word as Bruce that the band actually changed the lyrics and began to sing the word as Bruce.

we can't rewind -- we've gone too far!

Bob closes with the Buggles -- and includes the not-often heard coda. A not-bad set.

A line that for years I mondegreened as "The country whined, 'We've gone too far!' "
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”
