"Lock the Taskbar! Lock the Taskbar!" Call this one a misheard lyric for the digital age. We're certain The Clash wasn't thinking about computing when they wrote this song; we're also certain we're going to sing this every time we need to lock the taskbar from now on. Actual lyric: "Rock the Kasbah." :max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/The-Clash-5b880253c9e77c007b1e941b.jpg) |

Heard: He's for the money, he's for the show Here's for the kid dynamo Actual Lyrics: He's for the money, he's for the show Lido's waitin' for the go, Lido
Boz Scaggs wrote this song with David Paich, who was also his co-writer on "Lowdown." In our 2013 interview with Scaggs, he talked about how the song came about: "'Lido' was a song that I'd been banging around. And I kind of stole... well, I didn't steal anything. I just took the idea of the shuffle. There was a song that Fats Domino did called 'The Fat Man' that had a kind of driving shuffle beat that I used to play on the piano, and I just started kind of singing along with it. Then I showed it to Paich and he helped me fill it out. It ended up being 'Lido Shuffle.'"
The song is about a drifter looking for a big score. Scaggs and Paich were both very good at crafting songs with intriguing storylines using words and phrases that don't often show up in a lyric: "A tombstone bar," "makin' like a beeline..."
The name Lido is very unusual as well. From the perspective of songcraft, it's very versatile, allowing the singer to get clear vocal sounds and follow with the "whoa-oh-oh-oh" hook. Kenny Loggins did something similar on his song "Footloose," writing the character "Milo" into it ("Woah... Milo, come on, come on let's go").
The last single from Silk Degrees, this wasn't released until about a year after the album was issued. The first single, "It's Over," peaked in May 1976; "Lido Shuffle" didn't reach its chart peak until May 1977. The Silk Degrees album was a slow burner, gradually gaining momentum and selling over 5 million copies.
The song's co-writer David Paich played keyboards on this track. Scaggs played guitar, bass was handled by David Hungate, and Jeff Porcaro played drums. Paich, Hungate and Porcaro would soon form the band Toto. |

"Sweet Dreams are Made of Cheese"
Some of my best dreams are about cheese, but that's beside the point. The Eurythmics definitely weren't thinking about cheddar when they wrote "Sweet Dreams."
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/The-Eurythmics-5b87fdedc9e77c00254bb9c5.jpg)
Actual lyric: "Sweet dreams are made of these."

 Elton John: 'Tiny Dancer'
Actual lyric: "Hold me closer, tiny dancer." So it's not an ode to 'Taxi' actor Tony Danza, whose career took off seven years after 'Tiny Dancer' was released. |
