Misheard lyrics

[MELSMICE]

I am crying because I am laughing so hard right now

At least some of you people have lines that make sense. Here's what I've come up with...............

when I was small, I thought Jimmy Buffet was looking for his "lost circular saw" instead of his "lost shaker of salt".

"lost shaker of salt" was "lost shigarous dog" - what the heck is a shigarous dog?

my version of this song has "wrapped up like a douche on a Saturday night"

mine was "wrapped up like a douche & put the rotor in at night"

I also used to think Hall and Oats were singing "Mandita" instead of "Maneater"

Are you kidding me - I thought it was "Mandita" also

My DD thought that Janet Jackson's song "What Have You Done for Me Lately" was actually "What have you done for Melanie" because my name is Melanie. She thought the song was written for me!

 

[MerryPoppins]

These are too funny. Thanks for sharing.

 

[experiment626mom]

My oldest dsd used to sing "What's love ****-a-doo, ****-a-doo with it." Instead of "What's love got to do, got to do with it."

When I was teaching my 4 year old preschoolers we were working on the song "Deck the Halls"

I thought one of the children was singing it differently but couldn't figure out who or what they were singing until later I hear Tyler in the block area singing at the top of his lungs

"SEE THE BLAZING MULE IN THE FOREST! FA LA LA LA LA "

(he was such a great kid - he would be around 14-15 years old now)

 

[Rafiki Rafiki Rafiki]

DH just had one of these a few weeks ago....

Gwen Stefani's "Ain't no Hollaback Girl"...he thought it was "Ain't no Harlem Black Girl"....

 

[cheyita]

I've had a couple

INXS = Super Sonic Blond - I thought it said soup and salad bar - and at the time I worked at Shoneys which had, yes, a soup and salad bar.

OK, RadioFanatic, either you just added to my personal list, or this song is still on your list. I thought it was "Suicide Blond."

I should Google and double check.

My mom always thought "Keep Yourself Alive" by Queen sounded like "Jesus of the Nile." Yeah, she went to 12 years of Catholic school...

ETA: Sure enough, it's Suicide Blonde. As in - she "dyed"...

 

[Disneynutbsv]

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but my favorite misheard lyric is from Cheap Trick: Dream Police

It sounds like they sing: The dream police, they come to pee in my bed


I played this cd and my 14 year old son said, did he say what I think he said???? lol

 

[sleepyone]

How about when you're pretty sure you've got the words right and still have no clue what the song is about?? That's me and Blinded by the Light. I know the words but they make not a bit of sense to me.

What are they saying? It sounds like they say "douche-ing in the middle of the night"...LOL

OMG!!! I'm crying, I'm laughing so hard at this one because I thought something similar: "wrapped up like a douche & put the rotor in at night"...what the heck is he singing anyway??I printed this out for dh to read because I thought he'd get a laugh out of it. Dh actually said "those are the lyrics to Blinded By The Light"

OOPS! well then I have a double mistake - and I've been watching that INXS show too!

 

[HayGan]

When I was much younger, I thought Prince's "Little Red Corvette" was "Pay the Rent Collect" Hey, what can I say - I was about 10

 

[Texan Mouseketeer]

mine was "wrapped up like a douche & put the rotor in at night"

I had 'wrapped up like a douche and got a boner in the night' Someone told me the real words once and this still stands out to me.

Some more obscure ones, depending on what you listen to...Metallica's Battery - I have 'Can't escape the Bathtub Ring'

Some song by STP - 'Feeling like a ham and mustard shake'

Rob Zombie's Devil Man - 'Devilled Ham'

 

[bgirldeb]

OOPS! well then I have a double mistake - and I've been watching that INXS show too!

OH! When i was reading this thread, I was wondering when they changed the title to that song- I thought it was maybe because of Michael Hutchence's death, or something

The dream police, they come to pee in my bed

DH always sang Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb' as There is no pain you are receiving. instead of receding. He also didn't believe me when I told him it was wrong

The website that has been mentioned kissthisguy.com is really hilarious, because they not only list the mistaken lyrics, but also have the "embarrasing moment of revelation" on there. Very funny!

 

[pw2pp]

In Nirvana's "All Apologies", I thought he was saying.....

"Feminist assault, everything's my fault"

I was shocked to find out that he actually says.....

"Find my nest of salt, Everything is my fault"

 

[pw2pp]

DH just had one of these a few weeks ago....
Gwen Stefani's "Ain't no Hollaback Girl"...he thought it was "Ain't no Harlem Black Girl"....

OMG! Me too.... I thought it was either that or "Ain't no Harlem Bad Girl"

 

[KingsFanInRI]

see? I keep remembering more.....

The songs "The Girl is Mine" and "Groovin' (on a Sunday afternoon)" had the same lyric that I misunderstood for years

The Girl is Mine.... (Paul) "I love you more than he" (Michael) "Well I love you endlessly"

Groovin'... "Life would be ecstacy, you and me endlessly Groovin'"

in both cases I thought they were saying "...and Leslie"

Soem pretty kinky stuff going on there lol

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I heard on a radio show that the lyric to "Blinded By the Light" is actually "wrapped up like a DEUCE" which is some sort of reference to a playing card. Poker, maybe? And since 2 would be a very low card you would try to get rid of it? Whatever!

Back in the 80's there was a song (Journey, maybe?) about "Captured by the Moment" and my mother thought they were syaing "Captured by the MOLE MAN".

We have been playing nothing but Disney music in the car for months. There is one part on "You Can Fly" from Peter Pan where it sounds like they are saying "Off you go with a garden hose" but that can't be right. I haven't taken the time to go look up the proper words.

There was another '80's song called "Holly Anne" and I thought the guy was saying "On the edge". Not sure where I came up with that.

The little girl I nanny signs "Polka, polka, polka in the Big Blue House" when Bear comes on. For whatever reason "polka" makes more sense to her than "welcome".

 

[2buzzboys]

I used to think hearts song "these dreams" was saying beat street.

 

[jrydberg]

Blinded by the Light is actually:

"revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night"

Deuce being a reference to a car.

My DH is hearing impaired. You should hear him singing in the shower! His version is priceless!
