Song Lyrics.... "Fotch" (sp?)

I sometimes have a tough time identifying song lyrics. I used to think that the line “I never really cared until I met you” from the Heart song “Alone” was something like “I never read a carrot to Amatchoo.” I also thought Rocket Man went “Rocket Man, burning down the skis I’m carried on.”

that always reminds me of phoebe on 'friends' - 'hold me closer, tony danza...'
(sung to the tune of elton john's
'tiny dancer'...)

I had a room mate who actually thought those were the lyrics when he was little. Except he heard it as 'hold me close, young Tony Danza...'

And of course, there's the often misheard Jimi Hendrix lyric of 'Excuse me while I kiss this guy...'

Oh my Gawd. If it is "fautch" then it's.... jus... it's just stupid. Where's the rule book on this?

I vote for Fotch too. Don't try to make it highbrow, Russ.... dumb it down enough for the drunks to comprehend. In context, it's never said with a Julia Child's accent: "Ffffaaaaauuuuuuuuuuutch." It more often than not comes out in a percussive blast of alcoholic verbage, and is usually followed with the word Bitch.

i once thought jimmy buffet sang "blew out my flip-flop; stepped on a pop-tart"

Fotch is the best drinking game in the history of man and woman. Many a drunk nights on just one round of FOTCH.
