The Full Bug Lyrics

[famac@nuveen.com]

I was investigating the lyrics to the Full Bug because they are so amusing, but the interpetation of the lyric on most web sites seems glaringly wrong, or I can't hear! Someone check to see if I am correct

I think its

Let me show you, baby make the best of what you have in hand

Just remember when you follow through, bending over isn't planned ha-ha

Sites have:

Lemme show you,
Babe to make the best of what you havent had, ah yeah!
Just remember when you follow through,when the over isnt planned ah yeah!

[MikeL]

Lemme show you
Baby make the best of what you have in hand. Oh yeah
Just remember when you follow through
Then the over isn't planned. Ah yeah! Ha ha

[famac@nuveen.com]

I don't know, I think mine makes more sense.

[MikeL]

Diamond Dave doesn't always make sense, but he's always interesting. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Glenn]

Good topic for the Songs forum so I'm going to send it over there now. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The Full Bug

(Words by Van Halen)

Mmmm, da yeah
Mmmm, I'm a tell ya now
You corner my dog, it don't let you pass
Got a bad little' woman, gon' bite yo' ass
Yeah, he won't let you pass
Ah, take it!
Woo!
Wow!
Ah, precious sweetheart
Woman, all you want is good as it can get. Ah yeah
Blind inspiration
Girl, you're sensational and this gets better yet. Ah yeah

Well (Oh) all your dreams an' visions are based on magazines
No (Oh) this ain't television, but it's more than it seems
(Oh) Takers need a giver, this much you understand
(Oh) All I wanna give you babe (ooh)
Is the best part of a man, yeah

Lemme show you
Baby make the best of what you have in hand. Oh yeah
Just remember when you follow through
Then the over isn't planned. Ah yeah! Ha ha

(Oh) Looks just like an angel, but he just talkin' trash
(Oh) You make conversation, but she's listening to your cash
(Oh) Takers need a giver, this much we understand
(Oh) All I wanna give you woman (ooh)
Is the best part of a man, yeah

(Guitar Solo)

Woo!

(Harmonica Solo)

Ooh
Uh
Ooh
Ooh

Love that woman heart and soul
In the groove, on the go, you know. Ah yeah
At the corner my dog won't let you pass
Got a bad lil' woman gon' bite yo' ass
Mmm, fore sure. Ahhh

(Oh) Looks just like an angel, but he just talkin' trash
(Oh) You make conversation, but she's listening to your cash
(Oh) Takers need a giver, this much we understand
(Oh) All I want to give you woman (ooh)
Is the best part of a man, yeah

Best part of a man, woo
Best part of a man. Ah
Best part of a man
Best part of a man

I was suggesting that the lyrics found on the web were wrong, not that people copy them here. I reslistened to the song and still think ke clearly says "bending over isn't planned" and that interpretation of the lyric is supported by the dirty laugh he does afterwards. Dave lyrics usually DO make sense. but "then the over isn't planned" doesn't make sense!

[Raldo]

Figuring out Dave's lyrics is never easy. I still screw up the words to songs even after hearing them many times.

This song sounds awesome live!

I'm with famac. on this one.

[Lem Motlow]

That is incorrect, one of those Woos should have been a Uh.

And I wanted to copy/paste the lyrics from VH's official website for the rest to see... [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

The vlyrics on the Web site are guessed at in most cases for DLR as they never printed lyrics for these songs. Anothe example of an error is on "So This Is Love?" which they claim starts with:

"check me out on the good side here"

Which I believe to be:

"Check me out on the curb side here"

Which also makes more sense with the rest of the lyrical content in that song.
