misheard lyrics

tubthumping-a great confusing song

"I get no time, but I get overtime, still everybody beats me down...This is for Johnny-Boy.."

I am so wrong,
"I get knocked down, but I get up again, nobody gonna keep me down....Pissing the night away.."

I thought until TODAY, reading this excellent site, that Toto's "Africa" went "I guess it rains down in Africa" Not "I bless the rains down in Africa"
Thank you!

One of my friends use to sing - Big ol'Jed had a light on, instead of "Big ol'Jet Airliner", by The Steve Miller Band.

Okay, this is going to sound weird, but I used to believe that Queen's song "Bohemian Rhapsody" went: "Spare him his life in this monastary" not "Spare him his life from these monstrosities." I only found this out yesterday when I sang my lyrics at the top of my lungs, and I'm 22!

My friend thought that the song "Vindicated" actually said vaccinated, so she'd sing that instead. HA i still havent let her forget that one!!

Another Beach Boys Kokomo mix-up. I heard the line "That monserrat mystique" as "That monster out to sea" Still can't get it right in my head.

My mate Wainers' wife Nikki, thought that the Red Dwarf theme said 'It's cold outside, there's no snow in Africa' as opposed to conventional wisdom which suggest it is 'It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere'

I forgot what song it was but on the radio it was rapping, "Gay porn" and I rapped along, "Game court" OOOPS!

Game Court, Dawg

When I was a kid there was a song on the radio (I think it was the Beach Boys, I don't remember the name...I do remember that the names of Caribbean islands were listed in the song) that was very popular at the time. There was a part of the song that I could've sworn said "Your butt's a rotten stink." I'd break out in laughter every time! There was another 80s-style song by a female artist that I thought said "I pooped on you" but it actually said "I'm hooked on you." I kept telling my mom that there was a song on the radio that said "I pooped on you." One day I heard it playing and pulled my mom over to the radio. When she heard it she laughed uncontrollably.

My sister just recently realized that the lyric "more than a woman" wasn't 4 letter woman!

Well, after going to a karaokee bar and realizing what the real words were, I feel really stupid. I thought that the part in Def Leopard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me", you know the bottle part...oh I didn't know it was about a bottle. I thought it went: "Think about it, shake it up. Break the past of love, break it up!"

When I was a kid I used to love Kenny Rogers.One song in particular, I think it was "Lucille," had the line "You left me with 4 hungry children and a crop in the field." For years I was sure he was saying, "You left me with 4 HUNDRED children and a crop in the field."

The line from "Daddy's Home" by Shep and the Limelighters says, "..your best friend wrote and told me.." I had to correct of friend who, from the the early 60s til about 1999, thought it was, "...your best friend Rhoda told me.."

There's this song called "Damaged" out there somewhere, and at one point the person sings: There's mending for my soul/ An ending to this fear /Forgiveness
for a man who was stronger" but I thought she said: "There's nothing for my soul, and then until this year, I was gonna miss my man -- he was stronger". (I figured that after "this year" she wouldn't miss him anymore). I didn't get what she meant about his strength though.

I am not much of a new country music fan. I like the old stuff (60's,70's)The song "Paint me to Birmingham" the first time I heard it I thought he was singing "Paint me a bunny hand" Since the laughter of my friends over this we have come up with more.."Paint me a burning ham" for one.
