  • Hendrix sometimes had a camp sense of humor. the line "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky" was misheard as "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy". In a few performances Hendrix humorously used this, singing "kiss this guy" while pointing to Mitch or Noel as he did at Monterey.At Woodstock he deliberately points to the sky at this point to make it clear. A volume of misheard lyrics has been published, using this mondegreen itself as the title, with Hendrix on the cover. - Wikipedia

  • it's the sky

    

  • Scuse me while I kiss the pie!

  • always thought it s was "Hit This Guy" lol

  • actually punkgirl2008 he wasnt just a great guitar player he was a great artist in general and he prolly used more sid then ex cause at least with sid he would put it on his hair and put his hair in his mouth while he played and he would put it in his headbands and in his eye lids. and somtimes he would say kiss this guy. they both sound similar n e way. and if your gonna freak out on others about jimi u could at least say he was more then "an amazing guitarist". im just saying he diserves cred

  • It's kiss the sky

  • Yeah i thought it was "Kiss this guy" but i found out its "Kiss the sky".

  • Just to make things clear it's "kiss the sky" morons.... T.T He says "excuse me while i kiss the sky" which was refuring to him getting high. Doesn't take a genius to know this. Jimi Hendrix being the amazing giutarist he was, was even better when he was high and was a big user of extacy. There now you retards can continue agruing.

  • @PunkGrl2008 ecstasy wasnt around in the 60's. it was first synthesized or "created" in the late 80's.. cmon girl get ur facts b4 u freak the fuck out

  • I always thought he sang "'scuse me while i kiss this guy", but then I saw a t-shirt with the text "excuse me while i kiss the sky"... i had never thought about it. neither have i ever checked up the lyrics, haha. it sounds like both but the original is probably "kiss the sky". :p

  • Sometimes during live shows he'd act like he was kissing Noel Redding after singing that.

    It's sort of a joke that originated from mishearing his lyrics.

  • ITS KISS THE SKY ...!!!!! GET IT RIGHT...

  • @dfakcr6g I think he put it wrong on purpose!because the sky is just to be on Jimi

  • 0:48 it sounded exactly like it!

  • annunciation

  • ok to clear things up. Some people dont pernounce things as properly as they should because they may be busy paying attention to the singing notes they are hitting and not so much the words and i mean when your busting fat riffs and awesome singing notes at the same time its kinda hard to focus more on your lyrics inless you remind yourself like ever 5 seconds throughout the song i know this because my music is similar in this aspect i sing and play guitar but i but some times overlook my

  • Little known fact. Because so many people misheard the lyrics to this song as a joke when doing some concerts Jimi Hendrix actually WOULD say "kiss this guy" and point to one of his band members, you can tell when he actually says this because his face goes into a wide grin as he tries not to laugh.

  • I cant and wont believe were even talking about this. Kiss the sky fellas, ffs

  • I read thad Jimi briefly served with the U.S. Army Airborne. Conflicting reports as to whether he actually "kissed the sky" during his short stay at Ft Campbell.

  • Last one he said,"Kiss this guy" But all the other times he says,"Kiss the sky" Because it's about getting high.

  • its confirmed in some concerts jimi sung kiss this guy, thanks for confusing it for us :)

  • If you listen, the difference is obvious. The last one is the one were he says this guy

  • this song is in guitar hero world tour and in it the person singing it actually says scuse me while i kiss THAT guy. not even the real lyrics lol

  • @wcraigr The 'person' singing is Jimi Hendrix. That is a recording of his live performance at Woodstock.

  • @Erniesduck123 how could it possibly be jimi hendrix in guitar hero. he died lyk 40 years before it was made

  • @wcraigr Alright, you win. If you aren't a troll, you are the highest-functioning retard I have ever met, congratulations :)

  • @Erniesduck123 how am i a retard for u not reading what i said properly? and no im not a troll because i didnt commenton this video being a dick it was u that did that! so if anyones the troll its u

  • @wcraigr Ok, I'll bite. Do you honestly have no concept of what a 'recording' is? Your poor grammar really doesn't have me convinced you aren't a retard, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

  • @Erniesduck123 look seriously fuck off! i said it was in guitar hero and the guy singing it in guitar hero (which couldnt have been jimi hendrix because they re-record each song and jimi hendrix is dead) says "scuse me while i kiss THAT guy" and u just start throwing abuse at me! How is that my fault? there was just no need for it. How can u expect people to comment on ur videos when u just bite the heads off people for writing an innocent comment?

  • @wcraigr Because you're an idiot and there is seriously no excuse for that. The version of "Purple Haze" which plays in Guitar Hero is a live recording of Jimi Hendrix playing at Woodstock. I don't know where you got your information that Guitar Hero re-records each song, because they don't. Only two songs in GH 3 were recorded for the game. In fact, in this particular version of Guitar Hero, ALL of the songs were master recordings.

  • @Erniesduck123 in the old guitar heroes alot of them were covers cause they couldn't afford master tapes

  • @wcraigr you're a retard because you expect him to read what you write properly, when you're not writing it properly. If English isn't your first language, stop trying to argue in English.

  • @RandomNPC15 erm well 1. i did write it properly because i said exactly what i meant and 2. do u seriously have nothing better to do with ur life than join in an arguement on youtube that didnt even include u to begin with? god i didnt realise that saying this song was in guitar hero would be so offensive to people

  • @wcraigr You tried to say what you wanted to, but it got lost in your poor English. As a writer and English tutor it bothers me when people are as ignorant as you, expecting us to fill in the grammar ourselves when there are multiple possibilities to what it could have meant.

    What's the point in posting a comment if you're not going to make it coherent?

  • drummers tripping

  • In the real song it's "Kiss the sky' but live he usually says 'Kiss this guy'

  • It Has To Be "This Guy" Because You Can Hear "G" In All Of Them!!! Plust Jim Was A Hippie And Was Around Back When All That Free For All Lovin' Was Going Around!!! The Hippies Sexually Experimented With Same Sex And Opposite Sex Back Then Too!!!!

  • :) its funny, most people at my school only know it as the 'scuse me while i kiss this guy' song :)

  • @MoLLyTiShxx

    Prolly cuz of GH, right?

  • scuse me while i kiss the sky. why else would jimi point at the sky when he says that at woodstock

  • The last one sounded like guy lol.

  • who gives a shit....

  • That's the joke, it sounds like "kiss this guy" when it's meant to be "kiss the sky"

  • S'CUSE ME WHILE I KISS THE SKY

  • ur right he would often say both out of humor mostly

  • well jimi said both and more expressions than these ones... he just simply liked to make fun of it, besides i wouldn't mind if jimi gave me a big kiss (cheek), he is a god... i could at say that "god kissed me, at least the god of rock" to all my mates

  • The original studio lyrics are clearly "the sky", and just as clearly were often "this guy" in concert. Just Hendrix taking the piss out of his own mondegreen.

    Nothing suggestive about this; Jimi was fond of doing drag queen impressions when joking around in the studio. Totally comfortable with his sexuality.

  • Comment removed

  • sky

  • it's this guy

  • he said"'scuse me while i kiss that police officer" once lol

  • are they saying ? is the same person xD

  • he said guy at monterey also!

  • I went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2 months ago and in the Hendrix section, they had some live recordings you could listen to. Well I guess Jimi got word that "...while I kiss the sky" sounds like "...while I kiss this guy," and he started joking around at a few shows and would point into the crowd and say, "Ha ha, excuse me, while I...kiss that guy!" Quite funny actually.

  • He says ACTING FUNNY BUT I DONT KNOW WHY a second before EXCUSE ME WHILE I KISS THE SKY/GUY so maybe because he WAS ACTING FUNNY he said THAT GUY

  • If you listen to the version that is on guitar hero, on that one he actually says "scuse me while I kiss that guy".

  • He would often say kiss this guy as a joke, the first two are sky, the third you can see him point and look at noel redding when he says guy.

  • It's called a Malapropism. l2p.

  • in the first one it's kiss this sky

    and the second and the third ones sound really like it's kiss this guy.

    lol.

  • it varies depending on the show because he was stoned all the time! (ddd)

  • Hahaha he does say kiss this guy the third time!:D

  • Scuse Me while I Kiss The Sky

  • lawl

  • The first two he's singing "Kiss the sky" the third one he's singing "Kiss this guy."

  • no the one on ghwt compared to the live performance they mean says kiss the sky but they made it kiss that guy because the dub was awful.

    He did indeed say "guy" as a joke

  • rofl at drummer 0:18

  • Yes, he is hilarious!

  • hahaha drippy hippy ^_^

  • too funny

  • It is indeed, 'scuse me while i kiss the sky.

    Hendrix often said "kiss this guy" as a joke.

  • it is the sky 44 pointing to the sky

  • apparently he used to sometimes say 'kiss this guy' and point to either noel redding or mitch mitchell lol

    and apparently he once said 'scuse me, while i kiss this police officer' hahaha

  • yeah ^^

    i've read it in somewhere too ^^

  • once, he said "scuse me while i kiss THAT guy" actually, the version of purple haze on guitar hero world tour says "Kiss that guy" lol

  • "sometimes he would say kiss the sky or kiss that guy as a joke in concert. if you listen closely to the live recording of purple haze on guitar hero world tour you hear him say it."

    this guy is correct. jimi would often sing the lyrics "kiss this guy" and point to one of his band mates

  • he points on guitar hero aswell, that helped me find it lol

  • sometimes he used to say, "scuse me while I kiss that guy", well he said that at least once lol

  • wait i thot he was sayin kiss the sky till the third one

  • Honestly?.

  • Yeah, when there was a tornado near my house I said, "The sky was green last night" and people thought I was implying when guys are green you should go into your basement and pray! HAHA

    ("This guy was green last night")

    Jimi's not gay. He was a paratrooper!! HELL YEAH!

    BLUE SKIES

  • I assume he wrote it as "kiss the sky"

    but for whatever reason says "kiss this guy" when he performs a couple times

  • Actually if you say 'kiss the sky' and 'kiss this guy' there's hardly any difference in the words your saying just different phrases - 'th- isguy' and 'the-sky' are pretty much the same lol

  • sometimes he would say kiss the sky or kiss that guy as a joke in concert. if you listen closely to the live recording of purple haze on guitar hero world tour you hear him say it.

  • OH GOD! Jimi only say "Kiss This Guy" whenever he was joking around, but WHATEVER! What's the point of this video? so what he said "guy?" big DEAL. Jimi fans gets it! he loved to joke around with people.

  • He said sky on all but the last one.

  • 0:46 he said guy

  • Hendrix sometimes had a camp sense of humor, specifically with the song "Purple Haze". , in which the line "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky" was misheard as "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy." In a few performances, Hendrix humorously used this, deliberately singing "kiss this guy" while pointing to Mitch or Noel, as he did at Monterey[57]. In the Woodstock DVD he deliberately points to the sky at this point,[58] to make it clear. in one recording he says while i kiss this police officer

  • Lol, numbered hyperlinks. Wikipedia much?

  • so hat saves typin it

  • He used both. This is such a pointless vid

  • Jimi was a funny guy, he liked to screw around with the lyrics, in fact in one recording he can be heard clearly saying "Scuse me while I kiss this police officer"

  • That is TOOOO funny!

  • hendrix is awsome shut up all of u

  • he said in the song, excuse my while i kiss the sky... moron.

    you need to stop lightening up whatever it is your smoking f*cktard. leave jimi hendrix out of your homoerotic fantasies idiot. get a life.

  • He purposely said " This guy" as a joke sometimes, look up some of the old videos, you can see him point to either noel or mitch.

  • AMEN Edwardprzydzial!

  • wiki

    In a few performances, Hendrix humorously used this, deliberately singing "kiss this guy" while pointing to Mitch or Noel, as he did at Monterey. In the Woodstock DVD he deliberately points to the sky at this point, to make it clear. In one live recording, Hendrix can easily be heard saying "Excuse me while I kiss that police officer"; he quickens his pace for the last few words so he remains in time with the music.

  • who gives a shit anyway?

  • The line was originaly 'kiss the sky' but after people suggested it might be 'kiss this guy', Jimi started to mix it up when playing live to take the michael.

  • scuse me while I kiss the sky! *guitar jamming*

  • i like how people think you are a jackass for suggesting jimi might say kiss this guy when in fact he has said that before.

  • The line is "'scuse me while I kiss the sky", but in one live version, Jimi does in fact say "'scuse me while I kiss thie guy."

    I just read a biography on this amazing man.

    Get it! - Room Full of Mirrors by Charles R. Cross!

  • Read it!

    Awesome :D

    S.O.S.

  • it's kiss the sky jackasses...

  • great

  • actually, this song is about a dream he had about living under the ocean, the lyric is 'scuse me while I kiss the SKY" talking about being under water, kissing the sky in order to breathe, not saying he wasn't fucked up at all, but that is what the song is about, straight from a hendrix biography

  • you guys are all fuckin retards, the songs about the weed and lsd he uses u fucks, "kissin clouds" is another term ppl use when they wanna get high. kissin the sky means hes that hes so high hes in the clouds. why dont you guys listen to the lyrics and then think with ur brain to what that line really means.

    "purple haze all in my brain

    seeing things that dont seem the same

    acting funny and i dont know why

    scuse me while i kiss the sky"

    hmmm i wonder what hes talkin about.....

  • benmols is right. i read that some people thought he said guy and he heard about it and every so often would mess with people and say guy. jimi was known for having a great sense of humor and not to mention a huge sexual appetite for women so come on people lets be real...

  • It's sky not guy.... you guys are crazy

  • when he joined the army to get out he pretended to by gay. i think that is where "excuse me while i kiss this guy" came from

  • its kiss the sky the first two times and the last one he says kiss this guy

  • RIP Hendrix!

  • Its not reely a mystery. Its NOT kiss this guy. Its 100% Kiss the sky.

    But as said by glynsgoods. Hendrix used "kiss this guy" as a paradoy and even blew a kiss to Mitch Mitchell or Noel Redding (Drummer and Bassist).

  • The song's lyric 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky has been widely misheard as 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy. However, in some live performances, as a joke, Hendrix clearly and unmistakably sang 'Scuse me, while I kiss that guy. One of these appears on the album Voodoo Child : The Jimi Hendrix Collection [Disc 2]. and the box set The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

  • @ 50 sec I think he actually does say 'this guy' lol.

  • And in the last clip it looks like he is pointing at the drummer : )

    But in the middle clip he looks up at the sky!! I guess it will remain a mystery for now.

  • Maybe the last one, but to me it's sounds to be "sky" hehehe. :-)

  • kiss the sky jeg

  • sky!!!!!!!

  • As a joke, he sometimes deliberately said "Kiss this guy".

  • Thanks for that info, I was not sure whether "Kiss this guy" was used after his death. Like the idea of Jimi joking with his own lyrics : )

  • @pmotown Once he realized it was a modegren, he would sometimes use the mistaken lyrics for fun...

  • easily scuse me whilei kiss the sky

  • lol gg

  • KISS THE SKY!!!

  • ITS KISS THE SKY
