It’s a Good Thing We’ve Been SINGING the WRONG Lyrics to this 70s Hit ALL ALONG! | Professor of Rock
Coming up next, interviews with Eric Burdon and Harold Brown of the 70s group Eric Burdon and War... on their hit debut single Spill the Wine. It was one of the biggest songs of 1970. It was also one of the strangest. So many urban legends behind this one. Spill the Wine is rumored to have been inspired by the band members knocking over a bottle of wine on the studio console. The song was hard to interpret. It had Spanish in it, spoken word, and singing only in the chorus, and the lyrics have been sung incorrectly by listeners for years. And it’s probably a good thing because the actual lyrics are pretty risqué. In fact, Spill the Wine was rumored to have been about drugs… but it might ac...

DuBrow had a self-proclaimed alligator mouth, and his reckless audacity ultimate...

    One thing I pride myself on is my musical knowledge. I will admit, I have an unfair advantage having managed record stores for 15+ years, however I take my musical influences from everyone who wants to share with me. In saying that, I like to play a game with the PoR and try to guess the artist and song that will be featured in his story, first by just the thumbnail & title, then if I haven't guessed it, I listen to the intro. I did not guess correctly on today's story. In fact, I didn't even have a guess. All his stories are cool, but this one was a really cool.

    I always heard the Joe Cocker version when I was a kid - I was little in the 60s so have a better memory of late 60s and early 70s music. I remember watching a comedy special on HBO in the late 70s. It was during the furor over the rate hike for postage stamps in the US. One hilarious guy (who played and sang pretty darn well) sang "The Letter" but changed the lyrics singing "Give me a ticket for an aeroplane. Ain't got time to take no fast train. Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home. 'Cuz it's cheaper than mailing a letter." 15-yr-old me thought it was hiLARious! 😆
