"Eye of the Tiger"
Survivor


Survivor had other hits/songs.

I just checked on Amazon and I didn't recognize any other songs from them... Oh well.

Dunno if anyone will remember this one:

Eiffel 65 "Blue"

 :lmao:  So obnoxious, that song was. 

The name of that band is VERY familiar....

WAIT, is that the one that goes, "I'm blue, I"m indeed I'm a guy, I'm indeed I'm a guy..." or something???



I'm going to pay dearly for posting the video.


 :lmao:

It's actually sorta catchy and a fun little video.

No problem  :-)

He also changed the lyrics to a Dixie Chick's song..."If I Fall"...he changed that to "Lick my  :censored:"  From that point on, THOSE were the lyrics, because they actually fit better than the original ones do.

Well, if he wants to alter Dixie Chicks' lyrics, I have no problem with that, no matter how obscene or derogatory.   :rotf: :-)

That one is THE funniest one he ever did. The rest are just annoying...but the Patrick Swayze song is funny.

Once I started doing it to the songs that he liked, he stopped doing it  :-)

I did one of his beloved Beatles songs (which are TOO easy to do btw). I don't remember what I came out with or which song it was either, but I DO remember that HE didn't like it!

Disclaimer: I have no ill feelings towards the Beatles. Just did this to give my husband a taste of his own medicine. Carry on, please.
