I'm sure you know the actual lyrics (to Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze") are "excuse me while I #KissTheSky."
Nostalgic Nick lists that- & nine other-mondegreens (misheard lyrics) in a vlog you can get to through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The phrase “Kiss the Sky” is probably a euphemism for Blowing |Smoke Skyward (Sci-Fi- and/or Afterlife-Fantasy-fans might use #KissTheVoid if one of their favorite characters did it in their frequent environ (Outer-Space, Heaven-or-Hell)).
#KissesTheSky #KissedTheSky #KissingTheSky #KissesTheVoid #KissedTheVoid #KissingTheVoid
- Besides "Kiss This Guy," Nostalgic Nick lists
- "Revved Up Like a Deuce," heard as "Wrapped Up like a Douche"
- "Hold Me Closer Tiny Dancer," heard as "Hold Me Closer Tony Danza"
- "Four Colly Birds," heard as "Four Calling Birds" (a mondegreen so 'entrenched in the public consciousness' that Google's Spell-Check is telling me I spelled 'Coolly, Collie or Collee' wrong)
- "I Can't Hide," heard as "I get high"
- "and Party Everyday," heard as "and Part of Everyday"
- reminds me of the 'F.U.C.K. me' from "If You Seek Amy"
- "Bad Moon on the Rise," heard as (though you do kinda have to try to hear it this way) "Bathroom on the Right"
- "Touched for the Very First Time," which is what I always heard; but they say that some hear "Touched for the Thirty-First Time."
- "if we Make It or Not," apparently often-heard as "if we're Naked or Not."
- "Got a Long List of Ex-Lovers," heard as "Got a Lonely Starbucks-Lover"
