Misheard Lyrics

Scorp · 11-14-2009, 05:51 PM

Hey Folks,

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

I'll begin with:

1) Dido - White Flag:

The part of the lyrics when she says: Well I will go down with this ship,

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"

2) The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up:

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

Share yours!

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

I heard it as:

"Homesick Werewolf, you are a dented lime"

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

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

Elton John's Bennie and the Jets:

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

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

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