Story about this misheard lyric by: Riley Roth While me and my Dad were eating at McDonald's, this Song was playing. When it got to the lyrics I misheard, I asked my Dad "Did he say that Jack Black sat on a Candlestick?" He said "No, he said "Jack Flash sat on a Candlestick". I said "Ok". Jack Black was 2 when this came out in 1971. |

"American Pie"
The Song Lyrics: Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
Song They Mention: It sorta mentions "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by the Rolling Stones, but not the first word in that title. In fact, the phrase "Jack Flash" may instantly bring the aforementioned title to mind.

"American Pie"
The Lyrics: Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye.
Why: First of all, "Them" is a pronoun, not a demonstrative adjective. So "Those" (which can be an adjective as well as a pronoun) should be used here instead of "Them". Also. "whiskey and rye" could be a grammatically faultless (if unlikely) reference if "rye" referred to the unprocessed grain rye or to rye meal. But when "rye" refers to a drink (as the context clearly indicates here), that drink is a type of whiskey. So when referring to drinks, "whiskey and rye" is like saying "colors and red". A more correct reference would be "whiskey including rye". But of course that would be hard-put to fit the song's meter, and arguably lyrically awkward even if it did fit metrically.

"American Pie"
The Lyrics: I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
with a pink carnation and a pickup truck, but I knew I was out of luck the day the music died. Why: The song is about the deaths of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper and the reaction to their passing. Here, he knows it's not the right time for a date.

| "Castles In The Air"
The Lyrics: Save me from all the trouble and the pain.
I know I’m weak, but I can’t face that girl again. Why: The tune to this song are generally upbeat, and these two lines in particular are melodically rousing. Even the song title has possibly romantic imagery. But the song's overall message is entirely downbeat, and these two lines in particular are a desperate-sounding plea to be spared some unbearable situation.
