Much of this week will be devoted to my favorite misheard song lyrics. Back in the 80's I had a notion to publish a book of of the best, but alas, someone beat me to the punch.
Here's one from Bob Dylan's 30th studio album Time Out Of Mind, released in 1997. It was a great year for highly atmospheric albums with themes of stasis and alienation, and this one and Radiohead's OK Computer took turns on the stereo throughout the year.
The first line of the second verse on album opener Lovesick is easily misconstrued as "Assy Lovers in The Meadow, Assy Silhouettes in the Window". Of course its "I See" in both lines, but the other way is much funnier against the brooding backdrop of the song.
Years after its release, Bob would inexplicably license this song and others for a Victoria's Secret marketing CD.
Lovesick
