Horsey

So, I did something this morning I haven't done in a very long time.  My CD player died in my vehicle, so I (GASP!) listened to the radio.  I tuned past the 318 talk shows and 4,792 rap/hip-hop stations to find one of the four remaining rock stations.  I may have lost count somewhere along the way, so these numbers might be slightly off.
 
Anyway, I found myself listening to Van Halen's cover of Pretty Woman.  Personally, I prefer the original version, but I digress.  I admit, my mind was not focused on the song.  I was thinking about a project at work, the boneheaded twit that nearly ran me off the road, and the fact that I had not had nearly enough coffee.  Anyhow, I was aware of the song playing in the background.  I knew the lyrics.  I even knew Dave's version of the lyrics.  I don't know what happened, but something went Terribly Awry.
 
David sang,
"Pretty woman, I don't believe you it must be true,
No one could look as good as you
Mercy!"
 
That's where it all turned sideways.  I don't know if it was due to static on the radio, the fact that I was really bored, or if reality twisted upon itself.  Instead of hearing "Mercy!" I distinctly heard him intone, "Horsey!"
 
Suddenly, I saw the song in a new light.  The view was somewhat disturbing.  Horsey?  Really?  Where did that come from?  I had this mental picture of Diamond Dave in his prime, strutting around the stage, gazing deeply into some star-struck fan's eyes and moaning, "Horsey!" 
 
I started thinking about situations where such a line could be used.  I don't know what it means, really.  Is it a bad contraction of "Have Mercy"?  It's kind of a conversation stopper.  I mean, what do you say after someone drops that on you from out of nowhere?  Therefore, I plan to use it frequently, regardless of whether or not it's appropriate. 

"Hey, Jim!  How's it going?  Horsey!"
"No, I don't believe all of those scopions in your office are mine, sir.  Horsey!"
"Does that make you look fat?  Horsey!"
 
Yeah.  I'm thinking this is going to be a good day.
 
Horsey!

If I'm not mistake, didn't Dave do a horsey (flapping lips) sound after saying mercy or horsey? or was that a Grrrrrr sound? 
You maybe onto something here Bubba....

Hey Mooch, Horsey.

Yeah it works.

Ouch!

I've re-read this thread now.  This may just be the dumbest thread I've ever started.  I know it's up against some stiff competition, but this one may be the worst one so far.  In fact, now that I've read it again, I think I've lost IQ points in the process.  I didn't have much to spare, so I want to be sure that I don't keep reading any further.  Of course, once I drop below a certain point, I won't posess the awareness of my perdicament and may very well descend into the realm of Talk Show Hosts and Gym Teachers. 

Horsey!

Hay!

I think you may be on to something there, Bapu.  I'd certainly rather assume that than actually go through the torture of listening closely to John Denver.  [shudder and whinny]

Horsey!
























Ok.  I'm tired of it now.

Hay!
