THE MISHEARD:
My head smelled just like tuba lube.
| Real Lyric | My hands felt just like two balloons. |
| Artist | Pink Floyd (Click for more) |
| Song | Comfortably Numb (Click for more) |
The story:
I was stoned one day, and realized that tubas were not part of the album's plot. So I spent an hour rummaging around looking for the words. When I finally found them I decided I wasn't worthy of the song, and now avoid it at all costs.

Tuba Lube is hilarious, though.

Agree with smackymcgee. Story is funnier than the lyrics.

As a former tuba player, I can assure you that tubas, like all brass instruments, do in fact use lube. It's called "Valve oil" but it's lube. And while it's not overpoweringly stinky, it's also not something you'd want to splash behind your ears before a hot date. Unless the girl in question is REALLY into tuba players.

i'm not sure that tubas even use lube..............unless you have a rather strange way of playing it.

LOL, I wonder if anyone ever mistook it as a Tube of Lube?

This is great. I'm unworthy, I'm unworthy.

I think the best part is you realized your mistake while you were stoned!

The first time I read this one was back in the '90's, and I laughed SO HARD that I nearly had to crawl under my desk at work. I was a consultant and was deathly worried that my employer would find me incapacitated by hysterics!
