Dirty feet on da bumblebee
I was recently reminded of a lyric that I misheard as a kid.
When Bon Scott muttered "dirty deeds and dey're done dirt cheap" on the song "Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap," I thought he was saying "Dirty feet on da bumblebee."
I remember going around summer camp that year singing my version of the song over and over.
Dirty feet and bumblebees. It made a lot more sense to a ten-year-old than something about sex acts performed at rock bottom prices.
