Misheard lyrics!

[0 CaliSto 0]

I think everybody at 1 point misheard a lyric in a song and fell kinda of stupid when the penny drops?

so i started this thread to hear what lyrics people thought was bn sung. ok, dnt think im making sence.





eg. Walk like an Egyptian- Bangles



actual line: All the foreign types with their hooka pipes



what i thought i heard: All the dykes with their hooka pipes





Listen to it, it really does sound like it

[urnofosiris]

Oh this is fun, I mishear lyrics all the time. I can't remember a good one right away, but as soon as I do I will write it down. I think I mostly misheard things in the 80s when I did not really understand English all that well and listened to a lot of music. The songs and the wrong lyrics got stuck in my head so when I hear thing now I sometimes feel a bit embarrassed at having song along something totally ridiculous.

Brian, dude how drunk were you that you heard that?



Ok I found one, much to my suprise I might add. I used this site (Brian gave me the link just now):

www.kissthisguy.com/index.html

You have to double check the correct lyrics as even they apparently have errors, but it turned out to be quite useful in discovering something I have been mishearing to this day:





ABBA's Dancing Queen



Actual line:



You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life

See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen



What they are actually singing according to me :



You can dance, you can die, having the time of your life

See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing Queen

One of the all time great ones...



From Creedence Clearwater Revival...



Actual line: There's a bad moon on the rise

What many people hear: There's a bathroom on the right

Southern Cross



Actual: I've been all around the world looking for that woman girl

Heard: I've been all around the world looking for that Mormon girl



try Utah

"All of the world is designed to remind you, all of the love you can find, is inside, under all of the noise, here's your chance to be overjoyed" - Christine Kane

[Warduke]

Another funny one...



Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65



Actual lyrics: I'm blue da ba de da ba di



What I hear: I'm blue and in need of a guy.

My favourite is from the Eurythmics song "It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)" It sounds so like:



"It's alright, babies come in bags"



Tickles the hell out of me and my girl that particular misheard piece!



Add to that Celine Dion's Titanic Song "My Heart Will Go On", the actual words are:



"Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on"



Listen closely and you'll destinctly hear:



"Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the hot dogs go on"

"The world feels so much better when you find you don't fit

There's a ladder in my tights and who gives a **** if woops you ain't shiney and perfect" - Amy Studt

[urnofosiris]

those are great too, I fear that instead of helping me hear lyrics correctly this will make me mishear things permanently instead. These songs will never be the same again.

I'm blue, if would bleed I would die, if I would bleed, I would die, if I would bleed , I would die.

"No more twat. No more twat for me. Twat gets me into trouble!" - Crack Whore Jenny, The L Word

[laurelfan31]

yes! I've always thought CCR said "bathroom on the right!"



Here's something I'm still not too sure on. The song is "Only the Lonely" by the Motels.



Line is (i think): "We lied, about each other's dreams"



But I've heard that it really should be "We lied, about each other's drinks"



And if so, then wtf?? Can you imagine that?:



"Hi, I'm drinking a Manhattan"



"No, you're lying...that's an Amaretto Sour!!"

This thread is cracking me the f@#% up...

What a great thread, as soon as I remember one of my misheard lyrics I'll jot it down here...

Tk's new and improved "GrrArgg"...Crazy? Crazy?? I do not talk to myself...it's called thinking aloud...

In Christina Aguilera's Come On Over it says:



"All I want is you"



but I thought she says



"Ooh, I wanna screw"



I thought she sounded kinda skanky untill I looked up the lyrics.

i think anither common misheard 1 is

why did u leave me lucille, with 400 children and a clock in the field.

[fontaine13]

There is one that I read on another misheard lyrics site that really cracked me up



Song is ABBA's "Lay All You Love On Me"

Actual lyric: I wasn't jealous before we met

Misheard as: I was a chair lift before we met





Another that comes to mind now is one I heard just recently was again an ABBA song (noticing a pattern here but Xita understands )

Song is "Chiquitita"

Actual lyric: Chiquitita you and I know

Misheard as: Chicken Tika you and I know



Ok going back to my cloak of boringness now....

"If God is a DJ, life is a dancefloor - Pink - Try This, 2003"

[Betty2000]

In the Blondie song 'heart of glass'



Actual lyric: 'it's just no good, You teasing like you do'

I heard: 'It's just no good, You tease me like a bimbo'



It always seemed like a bit of a strange one .....

[nazelhuts]

when 'wonderwall' by oasis came out first i thought the line was "and after all, your're my wonder bra"... i soon realised that my interpretation made no sense.. took me a while though..

[kukalaka]

Well, one of my friends is still trying to convince me that Nirvana sing "don't expect me to die" in "Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam".



I'm not going to be fooled though, they're most definitely singing "don't spank me to death"!

[4WiccanLuv]

I had a little trouble with the Motel's "Only the Lonely" too.



Actual line: Only the lonely can play

Heard: Only the lonely get laid

[kop4parker]

Don't laugh, when I was really young, I was convinced that the Shania Twain song, Who's Bed Have Your Boots Been Under, actually said, Dooms Day Dooms Day Dunder. Don't ask me, I was like 7.

My brother told me he used to think that in Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody it said:



Spare him his life from these more sausages



instead of:



Spare him his life from this monstrosity



Another one I can now never get out of my head when I hear La Isla Bonita is:



Young girl with eyes like potatoes



for:



A young girl with eyes like the desert

For yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision; but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
It's never too late to be who you might have been.

[WebWarlock]

From Pearl Jam's "Elderly woman behind the counter in a small town"

Actuall: Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away

In my diseased brain: Hearts and farts they fade... fade away



From Stone Temple Pilots' "Interstate love song"

Actuall: feelin’ like a hand in rusted chain

To me: feelin' like a ham and mustard shake.

Hey, Scott Weiland is a smack junky, that might sound good to him.



There will be more...sorry to say.

Bonnie Tyler's It's a Heart Ache



Actual lyrics: It's a heartache nothing but a heartache



Heard as: It's a hard egg, nothing but a hard egg

[xita]

Some of these are so funny.



This isn't missheard, more like intentionally changed:



The Bangles' walk like an egyptian



real lyric: Walk like an egyptian



as sung by friends : walk like you're in deep shit.

oh i thought of another one.

when 'all i really want' by alanis morisette comes on i have a habit of singin "did you think about your bills, your ex, your dead wife" instead of "your bills, your ex, your deadlines"..

a day without laughter is a day wasted - charlie chaplin (i think!)

[Puff]

I know someone that used to think the Rolling Stones sung...



I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no curly action.



They used to sing that very loud instead and were really embarased when we finally corrected them.



And FlyingPoppy you're not the only one. In La Isla Bonita by Madonna. I always thought it was eyes like potatoes as well.

So, the day started and I knew my name and had my pants on. So far, so good. Yay.
Amber Benson

[HOPE REIGNS]

Song: Love Shack

Artist: B-52s



The real lyrics were:

You what?! Tin roof - rusted.



But I misheard them as:

You What?! Hennnnn ryyy, arrested

Thank you Amber and Alyson!!

[michellesflute]

I like this thread it's so funny!

It always made me



Here are two I totally misheard:



The first one is from Skunk Anansie, it's called 'Rise up'.

Real lyrics:

You're too cool to be smart, but that is what you are

My odd interpretation:

You're too cool to Bismarck, but that is what you are

(Skunk Anansie singing about a chancellor of the German Reich from the 19th century not really convincing)



The second one is from the song 'Behind blue eyes'.

Real lyrics:

But my dreams they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be

What I heard:

But my dreams they aren't as empty as my car just seems to be

(an empty car, that's really hard to deal with )

Anya: "So, I've been reading a lot about the good old 'us of A', embracing the extraordinarily precious ideology that's helped to shape and define it."

Willow: "Democracy?" Anya: "Capitalism."

[amberbensontotallyrules4e]

Well, my sister used to think that that song that goes "Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you" said "Everywhere you go always take your undies with you"

And the one that goes "The love I lost, was a sweet love", most people hear- "the love I lost, was a seagull."



I always thought that 'NSync's Bye Bye went- "Shoot me baby but it aint no lie, baby bye bye bye" instead of- "You may hate me but it aint no lie baby bye bye bye"
