Puzzle Description:

Since you put me down I've got owls puking in my bed

This is actually a celebrity mondegreen by columnist Dave Barry (the funniest man on the planet)

LOL I have never been able to make out the actual lyrics after "put me down", so I'm scared that I was able to recognize and sing along as I read the misheard lyrics. I had to Google to find out the real lyrics.

It's not one of my favorite Beach Boys songs, so the mondegreen works for me!

~wanders off singing~ Help me, Rhonda...

At least no one was in the bed while the owls were puking. I hate coming home from a hard day at work, only to have to clean up a bed full of owl puke.

Yes. That's really annoying.

Those are called pellets. :)

I didn't recognize it, so I did a web search. In case it's useful to anybody, it's from "Help Me Rhonda" -- as Juli said -- and that the original is, "Well since she put me down I've been out doing in my head."

I would have said that I knew the song "Help Me Rhonda," but neither lyric was familiar to me.

Owl pellets indeed!!

Agreed. I know the chorus very well, but (clearly) not the verses.
