misheard lyrics

I once heard some lyrics from The Human League's best known song "Don't You Want Me" as "Swish your legs to find" instead of "It's much too late to find". Listening to that song today I still have trouble hearing the proper lyrics at that spot.

I also heard the first line to their later song "Soundtrack to a Generation" as "First melody can only be be that way" when it's "The smell of trees".

I was just reminded of my version of the Bohemian Rhapsody passage that goes:

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me

here´s my one:

Beelzebub, as the devil, bought a cycle for me

Slim Tom

My dad told me he was in a contest to see who got the lyrics right for 'Blue' by Eiffel 65. My dad told me that his friends said stuff like 'if I were green I would die' and 'i'm so very high' and other stuff! =D LOL!!!!

" bed im for knee cotton eyed jo ive been mary a long time agowhere did u come gum where do you mow"

"If it had't been for Cotton Eye Joe
2x + 2x I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from where did you go
Where did you come from Cotton Eye Joe "

When I first heard Shania Twain's song, "Whose bed have your boots been under", I sang it like this... "Ooh babe, baby boo bay bunger"!

I had no idea.....

My boyfriend had another song by the spice girls that he did his own rendition of, this time it was "2 Become 1" and instead of the real lyrics that were..

"I had a little love, now i'm back for more"

He kept on singing....

"I had a little dove, now he's splattered on the floor "

My boyfriend is always making up his own silly versions of songs, but the best one I've heard so far was his rendition of 'Wannabe' by the spice girls because instead of the real lyrics, which are.

If you wanna be me lover
ya gotta get with my friends
Make it last forever
Friendship never ends

He sang....(wait for it)

If you wanna be my plumber
Ya gotta have a monkey wrench
Fixin pipes forever
Flooding never ends

This he followed up with....

Send your buddies down and buy us all a round.

And the Zig a Zig ah bit he sang as...

I wanna, I wanna really, really.........big fat cigar!

We were at a family party and well it was my sister (honest).because she was warbling away to the song by WHAM called "wake me up before you go-go" the thing is tho is that she was singing it as "wake me up and give me cocoa"

She sang it like this for years. it was only when we were much older and at another family party did she eventually realise (cause everyone was in tears) that she had misheard it. The conviction and feeling in the words really triggered us all off big style!!

Knights in White Satin - what a beautiful song! I imagined many knights and their ladies, all dressed in white satin, of course, dancing to its tune. When I learned the song was called Nights in White Satin, though, the lyrics made a lot more sense to me.

My Dad was drunk one night at a wedding reception and kept on singing at the top of his lungs to Dancing Queen by Abba, but he kept singing

"Dancing Queen, eating a Chinese with Mr Bean oh yeah, you can dance in your underpants......"

Of course they were not the right words but still had people in fits of giggles.

My now ex-boyfriend pointed out that that what I thought were the real lyrics to the song Constant Craving by k.d. lang as I was singing 'Can't stand gravy' He insisted that the title didn't have the word gravy in it anywhere.

too embaressed to say

my boyfriend was singing to a song on the radio by Dexy's Midnight Runners called Come on Eileen, but he didn't sing the real words that were

Come on Eileen
Oh I swear what he means
at this moment
you mean everything

Oh no, instead he sang what HE thought were the real words:

Come on Eileen
Oh I swear we cook Beans
at this moment
we cook only peas

The Abba song Chiquitita, I corrected a friend of mine who was wailing his version out at the top of his lungs! because he sang "Take your teeth out, tell me what is wrong" instead of "Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong "

When we were teenagers, my sister and I heard the song on the radio, and she remarked how funny it was that we used to think it said "Goin' to the chapel and we're
gonna get mad at Harry." I replied, "Oh, yeah! Funny!"

This was really my friend's, and I was at her house, and she's singing along really loud in her room. I'm like, "Ashley, that came with words."

Champagne tippin' over in the sky

It took me ages to convince her that the real lyrics are ...Champagne Supernova in the sky

Singing at the top of my lungs (off key & voice cracking) into my boyfriend's ear.to a fave song by Queen: I sang

'Beelzebub has a cupboard put aside for me'

When he recovered from his attack of hysteria, he told me the real words. which are:

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me...

Thing is tho, I still sing this version.

My 3 year-old nephew was singing Bob the Builder, but instead of the real words that are....

Scoop, Muck, and Dizzy
Roly too, ....

He sang....

Too f***ing busy,
Rolly too...

He was walking around the house one day, and his mother and I both looked at each other and said "WHAT did he just say?!?"
