Misheard Lyrics

[Scorp]

Hey Folks,

How many of us often misheard the lyrics of a song? :listening:

I'll begin with:

1) Dido - White Flag:

The part of the lyrics when she says: Well I will go down with this ship, :titantic:
And I won't put my hands up and surrender.

What I thought I heard: "and I won't pull my eyes out and surrender" :eek:

2) The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up:

What I thought I heard: "Insomnia" instead of start me up :freak:

Share yours!

[Medusa]

!

"Jose Cuervo, you are a friend of mine!"

I heard it as:

"Homesick Werewolf, you are a dented lime"
:vampire:

[Mister Bent]

YouTube- Redbone - Come And Get Your Love

As a kid, I was sure the chorus was, "Carmen guitar love."

To this day I can't sing the right lyric.

[Linus]

YouTube- Elton John - Bennie and the Jets (Live in Edinburgh, 1976)

Elton John's Bennie and the Jets:

He says "electric boots". I always thought it was "electric boobs" :cracked:

[Lynn]

My daughter, when she was a preschooler, sang, "Off we go, into the wild blue yonder. Flying pies, into the sky."

:bow:

[Jett]

YouTube- MISHEARD LYRICS - Manfred Mann - Blinded By The Light

[Lynn]

Isn't that correct? Actually, it's just, "Reverend Blue Jeans." Like Mr. Green Jeans. :D

I grew up in a conservative church where singing was huge. There was a hymn called "Bringing In The Sheaves", but as a child, my Mom told me I sang, "bringing in the sheets".....yes....I was a child in the days where my Mom hung our laundry on the line to dry....

It's a sweet memory......

[Eddie]

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

Real lyrics - "Excuse me while I kiss the sky"
Misheard lyrics - "Excuse me while I kiss this guy"

[Gemme]

I heard a song tonight that aptly fits in this thread, although I have no idea what band sings it. The title was something like Oyta or Goita or something alone those lines.

I have no idea what it was supposed to be but I definitely heard something about chocolate shakes, some guy being a prick and someone being a bitch and that was only in the chorus. :shocking:

[WILDCAT]

I LOVE THIS TOPIC!!!! Good idea!


The song DREAMS by Fleetwood Mac:

Thunder only happens when it's rainin'.
Players only love you when they're playin'.

SAY women, they will come and they will go.

__

Last line is where I BELTED OUT (quite proudly at the age of 18 with a carful of teenage kids that I was "houseparent" to...

GAY WOMEN, they will come and they will go...!
*I couldn't understand why I got the strangest look from this one girl - who had also been on my softball team while in high school!

OK, another song:

AC/DC Dirty Deeds.


Dirty deeds "done dirt cheap".

In MY gutter brain, I was SURE it was "dirty deeds, DOWN HER CHEEK"! And I sang this, this way FOR YEARS. No decades before I realized my "boo-boo".

Oops.

:giggle:

[Gráinne]

Kenny Rodgers

"you picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel"

and

3 Dog Night

"Jerimiah was a bullfrog"

:seeingstars:






"Jeremiah was a bullfrog" IS the right lyric...isn't it?

As for me, it's Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London"

From childhood, my best friend and I both heard, "...and his hair was purple".

We were in our 20's and riding in a car with friend's husband when that song came on. We sang the "purple" line and the husband laughed himself silly. The correct lyric? "...and his hair was perfect".

I don't care. I still hear "purple".

I love Kelly Clarkson's "People Like Us" but there's one line that I heard right originally and then when I was listening to a remix, it sounded different and now I hear it that way all the time.

This verse is correct:


They can't do nothing to you, they can't do nothing to me
This is the life that we choose, this is the life that we bleed
So throw your fists in the air, come out, come out if you dare
Tonight we're gonna change forever

What I hear:

So throw your fish in the air...

:blink:
