What's a potato wave?

This is hilarious. Check out this video with the misheard lyrics from Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter". Despite being fairly difficult to understand Eddie Vedder in this tune its still one of my favorites. Special thanks to Jordan "Hung like a" Haas for sending this - Enjoy:



And now just listen to the song again with the REAL lyrics below (or at least pretty close). You don't want to be singing about potato waves next time it comes on the jukebox.

Unsealed / On a porch a letter sat / Then you said i wanna leave it again / Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand / And on the sand I wanna leave it again... yeah / On a weekend I wanna wish it all away yeah... / And they called and I said that I want what I said / And then I call out again / And the reason oughta leave her calm I know / I said i don’t know whether / I’m the boxer or the bag / Ah yeah ehh.... / Can you see them / Out on the porch / But they don’t wave / I see them round the front way yeah / And I know I dont want to stay... / Make me cry...

Ooooh I see/ I don’t know why there’s something else / I wanna drum it all away / Oh I said I don’t, I don’t know whether I’m a boxer or the bag / Ah yeah ehh.... / Can you see them / Out on the porch / But they don’t wave / I see them round the front way yeah / And I know I don’t want to stay / I don’t wanna stay (2x) I don’t/ Don’t wanna / Oh... yeah... oooh...
