Misheard lyrics

[MinnieMe87]

Hi Minnie! Clearly I've been on the Twilight thread too long, because when I read that my mind went to some very bad places.

Hi!! I know right? Haha I almost didn't put it on here because I thought someone would have their head in the gutter!

Stevie Nicks "Edge of Seventeen"

Just like the WILD RANGER...
sings a song ...
Sounds like HE'S singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo

No matter how many times I've said it's the White-Winged Dove.......My Ex-H swears to this day that's how the song goes.

In high school my friend thought "Lost in Emotion" by Lisa Lisa was really "Lost In The Ocean."

For the longest time I thought Blinded by the Lights lyrics were "Blinded by the light reved up like a duche" and its "Blinded by the light reved up like a duce" I felt like a idiot afterward,because its one of my favorite songs!!

My husband thought for years that the song White Christmas by Otis Redding said Mayonaise instead of May your days...

 

[The Mystery Machine]

"Bring me a iron lung"...... Some radio dj said that one day and it stuck in my head. That is all I can hear and it drives me crazy.

From Steve Winwood, "Higher Love"

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?

 

[DwarfMaster]

Thought of another one....

In the sing "As I Lay Me Down" by Sophie B Hawkins....

While she's singing the main chorus...
As I lay me down to sleep
As I pray
That you will hold me dear

It sounds like the background singers are saying "Who wants tacos" I have no idea what they really say, but I'm sure that's not right

Maybe it is time to post Hotel California - it's been awhile

On a dock, there’s a highway
Cool Whip in my hair
One parapalegic
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
A soaring shivering light
My head grew hairy and my sack rolled in
I had to stop for the night
Dead fish stood in the doorway
I had conditioned hair
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven and this could be Hell
Then she lit up a Ken doll
And she showed me the way
There were horses down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Don’t go to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Renting a room at the Hoedown California
Any time of year
You can buy me beer.

Her mind was stiff and he twisted
She’s got the worst eighties bands
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls Sven
How they dance in the courtyard
Swedes, some are sweat
Sundance to remember
Sundance to forget
So I come to the Hilton
Please bring me my wife
He said
We haven't had that spilled in here since 1969
And still those whatchamacallits from far away
We threw up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Wake up to the oat man, can’t afford ya.
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely face
Lemonade up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
When you’re out of ice

Mirrors are deceiving,
depict champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just visitors here
Of our only vice
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it while they’re still in ice
But they just can't kill the thief
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I wasn’t four
Good night, said the madman
We are programmed to recede
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

A 1970's hit by Bachman Turner Overdrive was "Taking Care of Business" it was however misinterpreted by someone, I'm not sure who as "Baking Carrot Biscuits."

 

[chattyann]

I had a friend that thought Steve Miller's song said "big hotel with the light on" instead of " Big old Jet Airliner."

CCR "There's a bad moon on the rise." "There's a bathroom on the right."

Queen "Another on bites the dust." "Another one rides the bus."

Cinderella's "Don't know what you got till it's gone." "Don't know what it is but it's long."

Just a few of my favorites.

In Manfred Mann's Blinded by the Light-

Well, he says "revved up like a deuce"....
To say it nicely, instead of deuce, I thought they were talking about a feminine product like Massingil.... You make the rhyme!!

Oh my! Very embarrassing!!!

That song baffled me for YEARS because I always heard it as..

"wrapped up like a douche"

you can imagine - as a teen - I was VERY puzzled.

I always wondered why Manfred Mann decided to alter the lyrics Bruce Springstein wrote.

<SNIP>

But you can never leave

O M G!!! TOO FUNNY!!! I am looking for that Iron Lung of Steve Winwood! I am gasping for breath!!! These are hilarious! I am actually going to copy down this version and when I play Hotel California next time these are the lyrics - see who notices...

OXYGEN!!! I need to breathe!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHH

 

[starwatcher]

Well I always thought babanarama's " its a cruel creul summer" was " a cruel curse on ya"

another one my friend thought delite's " groove is in the heart" was "grover's in the hall"

 

[Free4Life11]

That song by Akon "I want to make up right now." It sounds like "I want to make lover right now."

 

[vanillamickey]

Not lyrics, but on a Christmas song radio station they were playing a song called "I Belive in Father Christmas" but the screen in the car wasn't big enough to show the whole title so it said "I Belive in Fat"

Some of those lyrics do work better with the song than others.

I had a book many years ago called "scuse me while I kiss this guy" and it was full of misheard lyrics. It was the funniest book, I could read it over and over and be in tears from laughing so hard.

Here are a few of my favorites
"Slow Motion Walter, Fire engine guy" for "Smoke on the water fire in the sky"

"I'm a pool hall ace" for "How my poor heart aches" (Police, Every Breath you Take)

 

[MELSMICE]

Hollaback Girl - my sister thought it said, "Ain't no Harlem black girl" instead of "Ain't no Hollaback girl".

I know there are a lot more also.

I always love these song lyric threads.

 

[disneybound2010]

Both my younger brother and my husband always thought that "Secret Agent Man" was "Secret Asian Man".

WOOHOO! I thought I was the only one who heard that. I still get teased by my family and DH over this...and I still prefer my version better
