Misheard Lyrics....
 

Just thought it would be fun to start a misheard lyrics thread, as today i happened to be listening to Kenny Rogers singing 'lucille' and hubbs said to me...

God, they musta been at it like Rabbits to have 400 children...

the actually words are 'Four hungry children and a crop in the field'.

I always thought the line from Rock and Roll Dreams come through

'someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs..' was actually

'Steinman must have blessed us when he gave us those songs...'

Quite apt, i think....

Here's one for you Heat, or maybe two

Queen- Another one bites the dust

Another one bites my nuts :lol:

Queen again - Bohemian Rhaposdy

Is this real life is it just fantasy

Is this real life or is it just Battersea

In the 'Yes' song, "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", it always sounds like Owner of a lonely horse. . .you have a listen. . .

And then there's "I wanna take you outta the fraying pan". . .quite odd.

I always thought it was Rock & Rolls Dream come True, until i read the lyrics

Heres 1 my hubby used to sing Don't Cry For Me Aunty Tina!

I think the two classic ones have got to be:

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
"Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard"

And
Tina Turner
"Whats a glove got to do with it"

Having said that, it is only a few weeks since i found out that bat is not "Torn and twisting at the thought of a burning bomb" :oops:

Fun!

Big Ol' Jet Had A Light On -Steve Miller Band (in lieu of Jet Airliner)

jo

hi everybody since i was very young (a long time ago) i always thought the rolling stones sang i see a rag doll and i want to paint it black............. instead of i see a red door........... i think my version sounds more sinister. :? :?

Abba sang:-

I was sick and tired of everything, when I saw you last night in Tesco's

Apparently it should be Glasgow :roll:

:lol: love that one plukie

My favorite is: Sweet dreams are made of cheese - Eurythmics

Heat,
Thanks for starting this. Early on with CHSIB, my wife and this David character were puzzling over this line from Testify...laid up on a gay bar...which turned out to be...laid upon a grave by.
Still laugh whenever I think of that. :lol:
T

I still can't get over the shock of hearing Meat singing about "sniffing that glue" in Do It!

Hahahah, this is very funny. I can't remember any lyrics i heard wrong...

How about this one somebody i know thought the lyric from Surf's Up was

"my body is burning like a whale on a wire" :lol:

(and my body is burnin' like a naked wire)


Bren

From the song - When the going gets tough, the tough get going - my daughter used to sing

"Go & get stuffed" - instead of "Going gets tough" :lmao:

Im really bad with song lyrics

I thought in life is a lemon, where he sings what about the Gods, theyre defective they forgot the warranty i thought was they forgot the wall of tears
and what about the friends theyre defective all the parts are out of stock i thought was all the puns are out of style (im not the only one who thought thats what it was)

I always thought itwas 'I wil always love HUGH' not 'i will always love you in THe BodyGuard

Somebody i work with always thought that 'Life is Like a Spoon' was Lifes a Gerkin!'

I still laugh at mum for her version of November rain by Guns N' Roses:

"I'll just end up walkin with my coat on in the rain!"

:lol:

I have a very annoying hubby who seems to manage to hear all lyrics different!! One that comes to mind is The polices - so lonely. He can only sing it as Sue Lawly!! (for those of you not from the uk shes a news reader on tv. You try listening to it any other way now lol

Deb

Hubbs misheard 'cant you see my faded levi's bursting apart?' from Crying Out Loud as - 'Cant you see my faith in jesus is torn in half?'. Where did i get him from???

My own mad line is from Deadringer

It is one of Cher's lines and I consistently sing it as "Every since i can remember you've been hanging round with George!"

I believe it should be Hanging round this joint!!

The only one I can think of at the moment is my brother in law used to sing Elvis's Return to Sender.
He always sang she rode a pony when the line was - she wrote upon it

Mine is from BOOH

i thought it said - "and I never see the sod damn turn til it's way to late"

(sounds ok thou) :wink:

Is actually - "I never see the sudden curve til it's way to late"

From Paradise:

Floating like a feather on the edge of the night

Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife :oops:

In "If You Really Want To" I used to think he sang

"...and I love the little dolly that you hold on to"! instead of "I'd love to be the body that you hold on to"

I think my versions cuter! :lol:

Louise x

I still don't know the right words (perhaps one of you can help), but in the Stone's Jumpin Jack Flash I always hear "I was raised/by two lesbian hags". I suspect that is not right....

Sherrie

It goes:

I was raised by a thoothless bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's alright now, in fact it's a gas
But it's alright, I'm Jumpin Jack Flash

etc etc

hope this answers your question! :lol:

Louise x

Dolly Parton's - Joleene. Always thought it was 'Don't Lean'

Louise said: Thanks Louise! Now I'm feeling all enlightened and I'll have to listen to that CD on the way to work. :lol:

Sherrie

AndyK! I heard too that Meat was singin: Sniffing the glue. But Then I read the lyrics and I sight for relife.

LOL ageing bat :D .... along the same lines i always thought kenny rogers sang 'you picked a fine time to leave me lucille, 400 children and a crop in the field' not '4 hungry children' !!!!!

i've been singing 'gypsies, tramps and queens' since i got the cher album at xmas .... a friend came round the other day and pointed out it's 'gypsies, tramps and thieves' ... that will teach me not to read the lyrics !!!!!!

Instead of "the sun is just a ball of desire" in Frying pan,
I always sang "the soul is just a fallen desire" 8O 8O

Very funny this thread. I do this all the time! :))

I thought can't you see my faded Leavis bursting apart to be can't you see my favorite Leavis burning apart...

well... it could be... it doesn't change the meaning at least! :roll:


Patricia
... :oops:

This is cracking me up.

Behind us on the 24th at Wembley, this guy was singing his heart out. Instead of...you took the words right out my mouth, he kept singing...you took the words right out of my MIND!

All of us around were laughing so hard we couldn't sing. Was too funny, God bless him, his heart was into it, just into the the wrong words. :roll:

T

Blame it on Meat's texan accent! :roll:


Patricia
... it's not my mother tongue either! look: :p

In Bat Out Of Hell I thought the bit that goes "and nothing's ever worth the cost" was "and nothing's ever worth a toss"

and

in More Than You Deserve "I won't throw you no curves" was "I won't throw you no curse"

I always thought it said "Back on Thai food again" Not Diet food on Shania Twains What A Way To Wanna Be

[quote="LostSoul"]Blame it on Meat's texan accent! :roll:


Hey, I resemble that remark! :o

From the Eurythmics, round about 1987 (while pregnant with leanne) -
It's alright babies come in bags

should really be It's alright baby's coming back

I should really have shot my hormones at the time :P :oops:

Or how about this one

Theme tune from Titanic - I believe that the heart will go on

replace with - I believe that the hot dogs go on :oops:

Here's one from my sister- she thought the Aerosmith song "Sweet Emotion" was Creomulsion :lol:

The first time I listened to Tear Me Down I understood on the spoken part this: ... He grew into a big man, with a big voice. And he sings big songs and has big TITS!!!!! 8O instead, of course, of BIG HITS!!! :oops:

Well........... he played in Fight Club.......... right? :roll:


Patricia
... :oops:

OMG Patricia, you crack me up.

But wait...as I recall Sarah Douglas actually sang those lines during the promo tour. Was funny as hell.

Rock on LS,

T

My sister couldn't understand why she was getting funny looks whilst singing along to Shania Twain's 'That Don't Impress Me Much' - the correct lyrics are

'i can't believe you kiss your car goodnight'

and she was singing

'i can't believe you kiss your c*ck at night'.... 8O

I heard about it and that's the reason why I feel less embarrassed posting it now... :roll:


Patricia

That's the best one so far. . .

In Chers Heart of stone

"Caress my soul and cellulite" 8O

I still don't understand what she really means...

Caress my soul and make it right!!

Oh yeah... :oops:

Those lyrics have confused me for four years... :lol: :lol:

I always used to think that in AFL it said, thats all a pile a man can be, and i finally found out that its, thats all i'mqualified to be, or somthing like that!!

I thought that too!!!!! :lmao:

bumpety bump.


I used to think Elvis's "Return to sender" used to be "Return to engine" i used to think it was about fire engines... :nuts:

Classic misheard lines from Meaty songs are:

"I never see the sodding curve 'til it's way too late" instead of "I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way to late".

"If you give me your girl and your truss" instead of "If you give me your girl and your trust" from "I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us".

When I was a little (very little) I watched music videos and there was W.A.S.P´s L.O.V.E Machine and I heard every time Blackie Lawless to sing "Hello Sweedey I want to be your lovemachine"
