The Clash make me pump my leg in rhythm when I listen to them in public places.
I find that this does not work well if you attempt to walk at the same time.

In theory this should work better in public places, but unless you have headphones on you'll probably get arrested.

Me I do a bit of both. and I don't even want to think about of what kind involuntary noises I let out. while humming on about "fucked up all night", "the blood maharaja" & "chicken bones for breakfast". I think I probably scare people shitless late at night.

Some awesome misheard (mistranslated?) lyrics. Be patient, if you make it to the 1 minute mark, I promise you will laugh

One where I prefer mine to the actual lyric in Squeeze's "Inquintessence"

real lyric: makes for something special in your football shirt
I heard it: makes for something special and you're fucked for sure

Safe European Home.
Used to think the line "The harder they come the home of old movie" was "The harder they come the home of old bluebeat" which would still have been great and make sense.
