A Brief Episode of Frippery

oneirophreniaOh, we all know about misheard lyrics...."There's a bathroom on the right." "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy." Et cetera, ad infinitum. Well, I gots a new one for the record now:
On the way home from work tonight, I was listening to a local pop music radio station for a change of pace, and they played a new song called "Tempted to Touch" by a guy named Rupee. It's a pretty decent song...not musically brilliant in any way, but definitely danceable and fun. Anyway, when the chorus kicked in, I nearly found myself laughing in either astonishment or chargin that this song could actually feature a lyric like:
Tempted to touch, tempted to touch
Little woman, man I need you so much
Tempted to touch, tempted to touch
Little woman when I'm inside your crotch
What the FUCK?! Man, I thought, that has got to be one of the worst, stupidest, dare I say almost offensive lyrics I've ever heard. Yeah, dude...that'll definitely get a chick interested in you: tell her how much you want to be lodged in her crotch like a fucking day-old tampon--that always makes the babes get a li'l heated.
Actually, though, when I looked up the lyrics, they are:
Tempted to touch, tempted to touch
Little woman, man I'm inside your clutch
OK. A little better. "Inside your clutch" still doesn't sound particularly appealing, but hey...it's better than the alternative!
Mind you, I still find the alternative really goddamned funny and will forever sing exactly those lyrics whenever I hear the song again.

It will fit real good in your vagina
Later on my tongue (or penis) will stroke your uvula
while I inspire you to feel trembly in your lats
and want more penis (or intercourse)
then I will give you lots of money
because I have a really good job
It's basically going to be a real-world translation of almost every rap and/or contemporary R&B there is these days.
uummm...
