(13,141 posts)thing? a meme?
Somebody posted it on their fb status and because
I had immigration reform on my mind I was
wondering if there was some connection. Or
if it was a derogatory anti-immigrant rw joke
thingy.. you get my drift.

Might as well face it your a dick with a glove
There's nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do
I'll never leave your pizza burnin'
It doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not
I left my brains down in Africa
Lets pee in the corner, lets pee in the spotlight

(21,115 posts)Pink Floyd lyric...."tongue tied and twisted....just an earthbound biscuit".
(and he believed with all he was worth that it was the actual lyric)
I always wanted to name a band "Earth Bound Biscuit"!

encountered the question in my OP.. a friend
posted on FB and it seemed like it might be
a bigoty thing.

(1,233 posts)Momentary Lapse of Reason is my favorite Pink Floyd album. An earthbound biscuit indeed!
My personal mondegreen was "do you like bean enchiladas?" I was a kid- never heard of a piña colada.
VanillaRhapsody
(21,115 posts)My ex was so serious....what the hell is an "earth bound biscuit"? He couldn't answer of course....but STILL swore that was the lyric! It was one of our few more amusing...uh... "disagreements".

One with no doubt
One that won't make me talk too much
Or make my face break out
One that won't make me nervous
Wonderin' what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you
All alone with you
All alone with you, yea, yea
Seriously.

Luminous Animal
(27,310 posts)What you posted was parody.
Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)Like "Don't go round tonight, it's bound to take your life... There's a bathroom on the right"
Did Weird al do the Fleas Rickets etc. thing? I know he did "I lost on Jeopardy"
Luminous Animal
(27,310 posts)Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)Apparently not verbatim, but someone did hear "I've got two ticks and a parasite"
Pretty damn close, if you ask me. Which you didn't.

Voice for Peace
(13,141 posts)is that a friend posted this as status on FB,
and this is an (R) friend, and it struck me as
offensive. However this person doesn't post
nasty offensive RW things, ever. So I started
googling, but just got more confused, and
thought to meself:
surely somebody on DU will know

(13,141 posts)that's why I came here.
I think I understand now it is a mis-hearing of some
other lyrics in somebody's song and it's taking on a
life of its own. I thought it was a bigot joke which is
why I posed the Q here, I thought DUers would know.

(13,141 posts)If a person stubbornly sticks to a mispronunciation after
being corrected, that person has committed a mumpsimus.
I wonder what a person is called if they do this all the time?
