Songs that mention a body part

[Dan Murphy]

Blowing In the Wind--Bob Dylan

Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

[Dan Murphy]

Billie Jean--Michael Jackson

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one

 

[Kittyblue]

I'm underwater and I'm on fire
There's nothing wilder than my heart
Just let the current set it in motion
Then nothing can keep us apart

 

[E&Cmom]

Hold me in your arms for just another day day.

 

[Kittyblue]

You fit me tailor-made, love how you put it on
Got the only key, know how to turn it on
The way you nibble on my ear, the only words I wanna hear
Baby, take it slow so we can last long

boy name sue, johnny cash....may have the record for body parts

eye, cheek, ear, teeth, scar....and scar is a body part....trust me on that one!!


Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said, "My name is 'Sue'! How do you do!
Now you're gonna die!"

Yeah, that's what I told him!

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffett

I blew out my flip flop
Stepped on a pop top
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on...

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at the others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

by Gene MacLellan and first recorded by Canadian singer Anne Murray from her third studio album Honey, Wheat and Laughter.

It became a hit single for the Canadian band Ocean, released as the title track to their debut album. The single peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, kept from No. 1 by "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night.[2] The song also reached No. 4 on the Adult Contemporary chart.[3] The single version omitted the instrumental, that occurs between the second chorus and the second verse, as well as the repeat of the chorus and the final instrumentalist chorus, that ends without the fade. It went on to become 22nd best-seller of 1971.

After MacLellan's suicide in 1995, his friend and fellow Atlantic Canadian musician Ron Hynes wrote the song "Godspeed" as a tribute, the lyrics for which reference the title of this song.[4]

The song was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame

I always think of this as the Club Med song.

Mondegreen
a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase in a way that gives it a new meaning. Mondegreens are most often created by a person listening to a poem or a song; the listener, being unable to clearly hear a lyric, substitutes words that sound similar and make some kind of sense.

...so in 1981 my 15 year old sister was all by herself...her mother living a free flung life...none of us siblings close by to offer support....so as like most teens, she turned to the radio for comfort and she heard Kim Carnes singing about Better Days Aside...as my sister knew that life had ahead surely had Better Days Aside....and never having heard of ....so when I visited her that 1981 Christmas on military leave...in the car...she began belting out the song...Shes got better days aside....how the lyrics gave her that impression I have no idea....I pulled the car over to the curb and asked her...what are you singing? The rest is sibling lore...that I hired Bette Davis look alike to attend her wedding.

Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn the music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes
