Misheard lyrics

[Amberle3]

I know that there's got to be some good ones out there.

I checked www.kissthisguy.com and found that a few others have misheard my favourite one - Lucille.

The actual lyrics are:
"You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
4 hungry children and a crop in the field"

As a kid, for some reason I always heard the second line as:
"four hundred children and a crop in the field".

And I thought:
a) if I had 400 children, I'd leave too! and
b) with 400 children, it shouldn't be a problem handling that crop. Some of them would have to be old enough to help out!

So, 'fess up - what's your misheard lyric?

(I also like "Secret Asian Man" too, that's a good one )

my absolute favorite misheard lyric is courtesy of my dh. sometime after we first met we were watching Grease on tv. we're both singing along to the songs, having a great time just goofing around when the song, Summer Lovin' came on.

I kid you not when I tell you instead of "summer lovin', boy and girl meet" he sang "summer lovin', boiling your meat." seriously. we actually argued over it. eventually he gave in and realized he has been singing it wrong all these years. not that he spends a lot of time singing, but hey.

I mean, his lyrics don't even make any sense. he says they do, that you are at the beach, its really hot its like boiling. very strange.

hey, I married him anyway.

oh, wait, I have one. not to a rock song, but to Mares eat Oats. Growing up I seriously thought it was just nonsense...marsydoats and doseydoats and little lambsydivy. It wasn't until college when my roommate corrected me. Its Mares eat Oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. um. duh. I still don't remember how this all came up, but it was so funny when I realized how much more it made sense her way.

Okay, I confess........There is a country song that was on the air around the time my DH and I were getting married, so late-80's I guess. I don't remember who sang it or the title (I tried to put it all out of my mind!)but the actual line is something like this...

"Let's all go down to Dumas Walkers....we'll get a slaw-burger fries and a bottle of ski, bring it on down to my baby and me"

What I heard was.....

"Let's all go down to do Miss Walker etc....."

I could never figure out what the burger etc...had to do with "doing" a woman and why they were all so casually talking about all going down to "do" her, and his girlfriend was there? I thought my Dh was going to bust a gut laughing when I said I didn't want to listen to that song because I thought it was so rude I don't know if he'll ever let me live that one down.

 

[Saffron]

Oh my gosh mtemm! You have me busting out loud laughing here about your husband, then about the two of you arguing over it!

That is soooooooo funny!

Mine is really embarrassing.

Bonnie Raitt sings,
" ... You're as desparate to get back up as I am not to fall ... "

And for some reason I thought she was singing,
" ... Your *** gets smacked so get back 'cause I am not at fault ..."

Oh my gosh! I don't even know what that means! ROTFLOL!

When we were younger, we swore the the song:

"There's a bad moon on the Rise" was actually "There's a bathroom on the Right"

Talk about bad hearing!!!!!

 

[Lars624]

My friend's BIL thought that Elton Johns song 'Island Girl' was actually 'I Like Girls'

[Growin'upDisney]

OK - the two funniest I have ever heard were

Do you like pina coldada? - heard as Do you like bean enchiladas?

Hold me closer Tiny Dancer - heard as Hold me closer Tony Danza

 

[Mad4Mickey]

Tony Danza ... You rae nto the 1st person I have heard say that

 

[SRUAlmn]

OK, I think the song is called Venus and goes something like: (i'm still not positive of the real words)

I'm your Venus, I'm your fire, what's your desire



When we were younger we thought they were saying:

I'm your *****, I'm on fire, I'm your desire

EDIT: (oops, it bleeped out my word, think male body part that rhymes with Venus )

 

[HollyJoy]

"Blinded by the light revved up like a deuce, Another runner in the night"

Of course, I thought it was "wrapped up like a douche, another runner in the night!" LOL

 

[birdiesunshine]

The song by I forget who it's by but it's called " I Smell Sex and Candy" my sister thought it was " I smell sacks of candy" hahahahahha

 

[orvilleair]

George Harrison - "My Sweet Lord."

Never heard the background vocals in the melody as being the Hare Krishna song until someone told me about it. I always thought it was Hallelujah all the way through.

Marcy Playground sang that song.

I always heard The Rascals "Groovin'" as "you and me and Leslie" instead of "you and me endlessly".

NO WAY!! How did she explain the NEXT line " A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you" ???????

Back in the late 90's when one of those boy bands had a song where they sang
"...and I dooooo.......
cherish youuuuu.........." I heard that as
"And I do...
share a shoe....."
.... cracked up my then pre-teen DD when I asked why on earth they shared shoes........


HollyJoy...that Blinded by the Light one is a classic!!

Sting's song "Stone & Light".....to this day I still SWEAR he is singing "I will not put poop in my eye."

No one can tell me the actual words.

 

[got2lovedisney]

My niece turned Alanis Morrisett's "cross I bear" into the cross eyed bear.

My daughter turned, Duran Duran's "who do you need?" into Boodie and me (maybe cuz we used to call her Boodie)

(not sure who sings it) "I'm blue abadi abada" was changed to I'm blue I'm in need of a guy, if I was green I would die, I'm in need of a guy.

 

[Lady Cluck]

Dr Hook's Cover of the Rolling Stone

"well we're big rock singers, we've got golden fingers, and we're loved everywhere we go..."

DH used to sing "we're big rock singers, we've got toes & fingers...
