in the TOP CAT theme, after the line "close friends get to call him T.C." the next line always sounded to me to be "come right in he's rippin' a T" but it's "as long as it is with dignity"

Full House:

Misheard Lyrics: "A lion is waiting to carry you home"

Actual Lyrics: "A light is waiting to carry you home"

Misheard Lyrics: "What ever happened to predictability? The milkman, the paperboy, even MTV."

Actual Lyrics: "What ever happened to predictability? The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV"

Lotsa curves, you bet

I believe "Lots of curves..." is correct.

The implication is that there are curves in the railroad tracks,
"Lots of curves, you bet!" (Cannonball train depicted)
followed by "Even more, when you get, to the junction"
with a strong implication that Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo, and Betty Jo all
have "curves" themselves (depicted inside the water tower).

I spent a lot of time at an old Petticoat Junction website, I don't believe the word "occurs" ever came up.

That's what I thought until I started watching it on Pluto and closed captioning said "occurs." Closed captioning is probably wrong. Certainly wouldn't be the first time.
