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:
