misheard lyrics

Wasted Little DJs - The View

I heard:

'Italy, Italy's Majesty,
They're the cleverest blokes weekend'

Whereas it's really:

'Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae
They're the cleverest blonde weekend.'

Mine makes way more sense...

In "Proud Mary," I thought it was "pumped a lotta tank down in New Orleans" instead of "pumped a lotta pain."

David Noble

I used to believe the lyrics in Lynard Skynard's "That Smell" were somewhat anti-semetic: "The smell of death is a round Jew".

The song "Unstoppable" by Kat DeLuna came on the radio the other day. My friend Liv thought the lyrics said, "You can talk all you want, but my skin is really thick...I'm a soccer ball."

Hey, it works.

I used to think that in the song "Tiny Dancer" the lyrics were "Hold me closer Tony Danza"

I used to believe that in the song "My Sherona" they were actually saying "Rice-a-Rona."

Scott

I had a friend when i was younger that thought in that Kate Bush song, This Womans Work, that they were saying, "i know you have a lot of strange friends" instead of "i know you have a lot of strength left."

Jane

Was i the only person that beleived that it was "food glorious foof green chicken and red wine" ?????

When I was little I used to think that the song by The Mamas and the Papa's titled "Mama Cass" was "Mama Cat". I still do not know why.

I also used to think (about 2 years ago when I was 10) that the modern pop song where there was a line that said "chicks in Maui" was 'ticks in my wee", and I already think you know what I mean!

Me and my cousin Eddie were talking about 'Bela Lagousi's Dead' by Bahaus recently when he sheepishly admitted that for years he'd thought that it was 'Bella the Goose is Dead'....

When I was eight Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory came out, and I went around all the time loudly singing the words to the song: Oompa, loompa, doobily doo! Ugaboo rekamoo doobily doompa! Knowing that song was the cool thing at my school, but somehow the other kids still did not want to play with me....

When I was younger I used to believe that the words to grease on the song 'Go back to high school' was you did school drama instead of beauty school dropout!

Miss Simpson

i alwas used to sing

i fucked you when the lights went out

but it's actually


where were you when the lights went out

:s

the song is from "freaks"

kooba

I used to believe that the offspring song have lyrics which went
'Donkey Kong, Everyday', but didnt realise the real lyrics were
'Dog eat dog, Everyday'
Imagine my surprise when i was beaten up by a major offspring fan for taking the p*ss

Ty

When i was about 2 or 3 years old, i used to sing "twinkle twinkle" all the time. In the part "how i wonder what you are", i always thought it was "how i wonder what your doin'"

b.w.

My mum is as daft as anything because she makes us all laugh by singing her version of Madonna's 'Music' as "Hey mr dj put the kettle on"

And a friend of ours always referred to 'Don't look back in anger' by Oasis as 'the sally song'

Jud, W Yorkshire

as kids we used to believe that the song by shakin stevens and bonnie tyler was 'a f***ing good way' instead of a rockin good way.

other songs with misheard lyrics by shaky were
'give me your fart tonight'
a love worth way-ting for'
you dwive me cwazy'
oh goolie'
and finally where he sings 'I saw an eyeball peeping through a smoky cloud behind the green door' we would sing'I saw an A**ehole peeping through a smoky cloud.....no, we were NOT shakin stevens fans

Dev,

My neighbour's 8 year-old son loves the song "Farmer and the Cowman" from R & H's Oklahoma! - he sings along loudly: "Territory folks should sleep together, territory folks should all be friends."
Words should be "Territory folks should stick together", etc.

John

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!"

Liz

I used to think that he said, "Fart on me," it that song. I don't know which song it is, but he's really saying, "Falls on me."
