Misunderstood lyrics are often misinterpreted to mean a lot more than the original intent.  One of my absolute favoritest Bowie songs ever was most likely a toss-off song that ended Diamond Dogs on a slightly peppier note than Big Brother, which was kind of a downer.  Chant Of The Ever Circling Skeletal Familyhas one of the catchiest rythyms of all time by anyone.  Disco, funk, r&b, hip hop, it don’t matter. This song’s beat blows them all away.  However, since 1974, the lyrics have been rather hard to decipher.  Now, I had my version:

Rah Rah

Root Root

Cheer Cheer

Boolah Boolah

Bro..Bro..Bro..Bro..Bro..Bro..Bro..Bro..Bro..Bro..

Now, this dude who calls himself futurelegendfilms on youtube has his own interpretation. You have GOT to watch this full screen!

So his is:

Brother
Ooh Ooh
Shake it up Shake it op
Move it up move it up
RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..

Now, combining our two misinterpretations give you what I think is a very cool lyric:

Rah, Rah
Root, Root
Cheer, Cheer
Boolah Boolah
RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..RIOT..

Cool huh? Everyone loves a pep rally before they riot.

Well, that’s not how it goes apparently. Take away the best of both our misinterpretations and you get:

Brother
Ooh Ooh
Shake it up shake it up
Move it up move it up
BRO..BRO..BRO..BRO..BRO..BRO..BRO..BRO..BRO..BRO..BRO..

I think I’m just gonna stick with me and futurelegendfilms‘ versions.
