More misheard lyrics

From Sheryl Crow’s Oh Marie.

Real lyrics:

She likes the way she looks in her Camaro

I heard:

She likes the way she looks can hook a marrow.

As in she was so good-looking that vegetables just flocked to her.

I remember playing that back again the first time I heard it to see what on Earth she was singing, and it wasn’t until I checked the CD liner (years later, what took me so long?) that I found out what the actual lyrics were. And it wasn’t until just now when I checked Google that I found out what a Camaro was. I had originally assumed it was some sort of poncho, but it turns out it’s a type of car.

Car/poncho — it’s easy to see how that assumption was worked out.
