Just a little something to share in the event that you might have heard a few of them or made mistakes of your own -
I remember the willy reference also getting some mention in Nirvana's
'Lithium' "I'm so horny - but that's ok my willy's good"
I myself always mistook "Whooaa... I'm an alien... I'm a legal alien", the chorus line in in Englishman in New York for "Whooaa.... I'm an alien... I'm an eagle alien" - thats something that sticks in my head to this day (why can't sting ever fucking sing shit right?).
