I know, it's hard to believe, ain't it?

What lyrics (doesn't have to be whole songs) remind you of characters or events in Hazzard County?
-------------------------------------------
One day I looked into my rear view mirror
And comin' up from behind
There was a Georgia State policeman
And a hundred dollar fine
He looked me in the eye as he was writin' me up
He said "Driver, you been flyin'.
The ninety-five was the route you were on
It was not the speed limit sign."

I love collecting misheard lyrics. I thought I'd start this thread for all you music fans to post your favorite misheard lyrics.
Elton John is one of my favorite sources of misheard lyrics. One of the funniest has got to be the song "Bennie and the Jets". The original lyric is "She's got electric boots, a mohair suit", but it sounds like "She's got electric boobs, her mom has too". LOL. And that's how I always sing it!

I'm a li'l late to this thread, but I just wanted to add a R.I.P. for Jerry here. For years, I had a line from Amos Moses in my sig and have added it back in memory of Jerry. My husband and I are fans of the Smokey and the Bandit movies and we have several CDs of his music. He will be missed. I won't be mourning his loss, but rather celebrating his life...
Well, I got a big jug o' cider and a bottle of wine
One's for my honey and the other is mine
Sip on the cider, sip on the wine
Both sip together and a have a good time
One foot, two foot, slew foot drag
Swing your honey to the Sugar Foot Rag
Do a little jig and a zig and a zag
And listen to the steel guitar
As he plays that Sugar Foot Rag
I'm gonna spend all my money
And a git on a jag
Swing my honey to the Sugar Foot Rag
Walk right up, stomp on the floor
Swing up the middle with a shoofly four
One foot, two foot, slew foot drag
Swing your honey to the Sugarfoot Rag
Do a little jig and a zig and a zag
And listen to Jerry...
He's gonna play that Sugar Foot Rag

Occasionally, I find myself changing the lyrics of songs to something more Hazzard-like. I thought I'd start a thread for folks to post their own creations.
If you have a Christmas song, post it in the Christmas Lyrics thread.
And I'll start off with my Duke-ified rendition of Jose Cuervo, entitled Rosco P. Coltrane... and if you don't know the tune, you can listen to it here.
Well, it's Friday night
And the sun is settin'
And my eyes are glued
To the tv and I'm sittin'
On the floor with my family
I can't stop grinnin'
I watched Dukes of Hazzard tonight!
Rosco P. Coltrane
You are a friend of mine
I like to watch you
On the tv all the time
Did you catch them Duke Boys?
Did you shoot out the lights?
Did you crash yer car?
Did you stop a fight?
Now wait a minute
This plot looks familiar
The Dukes are some plough boys that fight the system
Well, they're awful cute
Especially with their shirts off
They jumped the General again tonight
Rosco P. Coltrane
You are a friend of mine
I like to watch you
On the tv all the time
Did you catch them Duke Boys?
Did you shoot out the lights?
Did you crash yer car?
Did you stop a fight?
All those crazy chases
How I love this little town
Let's hit the Boar's Nest
And have ourselves a round
Well the music is playin'
And my spirits are high
There's another chase a'comin'
And the sheriff's gonna flyyyyy
Rosco P. Coltrane
You are a friend of mine
I like to watch you
On the tv all the time
Every time we get together
I sure have a good time
You're my friend, you're the best
Mi amigo

I thought Brian had the brawn and MaryAnne had the looks... Well, I know for sure I've got the brains.

Technically, that's a two word title, but since it's the same word twice, I'll give ya a pass. LOL.
MaryAnne, didn't you use "Fire" as an inspiration in one of your fics? LOL. I clearly seem to recall the words "I AM THE GOD OF HELL FIRE!" in one of your fics, but I can't remember which one. Or maybe I'm just going senile...

Roller Derby Queen - Jim Croce
The roller derby program said
She was built like a frigerator with a head.
Hehehe...
I have very eclectic tastes. I'll listenin' to just about anything, except rap crap.

Ok, here's where ya show yer creativity! The rules are really simple. Post a photo and a caption below it. Keep it relatively clean.
I'll start it off....

"I wonder if Geico sells flood insurance..."

Yes, that's exactly it. In fact, I saw an actual car like that once, complete with the 76 number.

LOL. She blew past those numbers a while ago! You realize, if she was 21, she would have been 8 years old when I started HazzardNet. LOL!

Oh, it's worse than that. I make them watch "My Mother The Car".

I have some very strong political opinions myself, but I prefer my entertainment and fun to be untainted by the negativity and bickering that sometimes surrounds politics. I want everyone to feel welcome here and have fun.

The "war on terrorism" didn't start after 9/11. Though it came to the forefront then, this is technically a decades old, if not millenia old, battle. I don't think we "entered" the war on terrorism. I think we just woke up to the fact that they were already "warring" with us and we decided not to just sit back and take it anymore.
I can't think of a single war we've fought that DIDN'T have flawed intelligence and incomplete strategies. LOL. That's probably why the old adage "war is hell" still rings true today despite our high tech weapons and modern intelligence gathering techniques.
The hell of it all is, we have to succeed EVERY time, while the terrorists only have to succeed once in order to achieve a victory... which is killing infidels.
I completely agree with Brian (for once) in the thought that our best hope is by spreading Democracy and capitalism through the wonder that is Wal-mart to the four corners of the earth. Maybe then everyday low prices and the opportunity to buy tires and tube socks in the same building will soften the hearts of the extremists and they'll spend more time shopping and less time killing. Walmart, we salute you!
(The author of this post denies ever setting foot inside a Walmart. And Brian, if you tell anybody I did, I'll kick your ass.)

It's crazy around here and where my sister's family is retiring in Idaho. They got in at the right time. The week after they bought their new home, prices went up $15,000 and a month later, they were $50,000 more!! We were going to move too, but that'll be too rich for our blood by the time we're ready. But the good news is that our house is worth almost 2x what we paid for it 17 years ago.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit!

I agree. Feel free to talk about it via PM if you can do so respectfully and civilly, but we prefer not to get into public political discussions on HazzardNet to avoid any heated exchanges that will inevitably result.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, everybody! Stay safe and warm and enjoy being with loved ones.

Wow! I'm glad you're ok. Keep us updated about your recovery. And for future reference, try to keep heavy metal objects away from your head. LOL.

The infamous country I got right, but didn't realize there was an extra "z" in there. Or as the British say... zed.

31 out of 44. Do I win a prize? LOL.

Maybe they just gave up Dukes for Lent. But I'd think that would be almost sacrilegious. LOL.

I've met the cast both at events and on the reunion sets. Tom was definitely the least friendly of them all. I hope he gets the help he needs though. Sounds like he's a mess.
Wish I could have made it to this event, but my health wasn't cooperating. A big thank you to those of you who went sharing your experiences!
