Piece of crap!
The very first Songspeak mixtape, Songspeak’s Greatest Hits: Volume One, contained many gems, but Jamie and I decided to include Piece of Crap by Neil Young because we really enjoy Neil’s bandmates yelling “piece of crap” in the background. I wound up bringing my TEAC dual cassette deck over to Jamie’s dad’s condo, so we could dub it from the Sleeps With Angels cd.Tags: dual cassette deck, mixtape, neil young, piece of crap, sleeps with angels, songspeak's greatest hits, teac, volume one

misheard lyrics
Ooo, ooo, ooo, kissed by a man
I'm so glad Mike Watt wrote that song for us!
Last night, my wife Jo and I were listening to Songspeak’s Greatest Hits Volume 9 in my car. This particular volume includes Piss-Bottle Man by Mike Watt. I would call this a somewhat obscure song, as it’s not a song you hear very often. Jo obviously wasn’t familiar with it, because as he was singing the chorus (”ooo, ooo, ooo, piss-bottle man”), she asked if he was singing “kissed by a man”. Perhaps she thought this 1995 song was a companion to Jill Sobule’s 1995 hit, I Kissed a Girl (and a precursor to Katy Perry’s recent lesbionic offering). I told her what the real line was, but honestly, it makes less sense than her misheard version, so who knows what the hell Mike Watt was thinking. Anyway, here’s the video. Decide for yourself.
Coincidentally, on a side note, Songspeak’s Greatest Hits Volume 9 also contains Invisible Touch by Genesis for the exact reasons stated in this post.
