pork.c, at some of his concerts, he sang "Excuse me while I kiss this guy" and pointed at a band member as a joke, because it became such such a misheard line.

Some of the most mistaken lyrics of all time.
"Excuse me while I kiss the sky" not "Excuse me while I kiss this guy"! |

I came home on leave from Viet nam in 1965. Over there I had 96 tears and workin in a cole mine and the name game on 45. I heard Jimmy for the first time on Telegraph rd. in Redford mi. and haven't been the same since. I did take a 45 back with me.

...an anthem of the late 60's. A little anecdote: many, many cheerleading routines use the sample, " 'scuse me, while I kiss the sky" while throwing some young lady 50 ft. in the air. I always get a chuckle out of it, since they clearly don't realize it's a drug reference...
