Mispronounced Lyrics

[edcrbnsoul]

I have a SIL who kills the lyrics to every somg she sings one of my favorites

Everytime you go away you take a piece of meat with you

Should be: Every time you go away you take a piece me with you
Paul Young


Anyone else have some good ones


I'll even admit to one of my own

You can call it thunder but dont you dare

should be: you can call it another lonely day...Fleetwood Mac

When I first went to DH's church, they sang the Gloria Patri and no one used a hymnal. I wasn't familiar with it so I would listen to DH sing "for now and ever shouting, world without end. Amen Amen." Should have been "for now and ever SHALL BE". Every week I would think "why shouting?????" Finally I got it.

I saw on a website once that someone thought
"Hold me close young tiny dancer" was actually "Hold me close young Tony Danza"...that one nearly knocked me over.

Enjoyed my kids trying to sing to the car radio, we listen to the oldies channels...my favorites were

"Can't you sniff your can" instead of "Catch Us IF you can" and

The song Take a letter to Maria, address it to my wife, say I won't be coming home, "got a hundred years to life"

My husband and I would just crack up, they were so funny...

 

[ORD2KOA]

Another oldie:

Among my crowd, "There's a bad moon on the rise" was always sung: "there's a bathroom on the right."

WAH HA!!! I've never heard anyone actually sing it that way, but that's what I'm THINKING every time I hear that Paul Young song. Hee hee I'm not the only one.


I remember when I was a kid and heard Roy Orbison's "Only the Lonely," all I could make out was "Phoney Baloney."

 

[CourtasanSatine]

DBF and I have sung with Britney Spears as a joke

"Oops,I dated a pen" insted of "Oops I did it again"


I'll also fess up to singing

You and me baby
ain't nothin' but camels

instead of

You and me baby
ain't nothin' but mammals (Bloodhound Gang)

That was Pheobe on Friends. One of the funniest episodes.

When All Star first came out I couldnt figure out why they were singing "Youre an all star, go to KMart". Then I saw the words once and realized "get your game on" made much more sense.

One of the groups that is constantly played in our house is October Project. My kids know them so well, they sing some of the harmonies. Anyway, one song goes "come take my body, come take my soul" and my older son (about 3 1/2 at the time) was singing "Don't take my mommy, don't take my soul". Guess I was working too much for his liking for telling them to leave me!

Suzanne

yet another person who thinks 'meat' when I hear Paul Young's song!

 

[klmklm]

"Reverend Bluejeans" for "forever in blue jeans"

I sing that, saw it on Will and Grace. DH sings Can't find my sweater man instead of Can't find a better man.

 

[Chattyaholic]

There's a rock song, I think by Def Leppard or some group like that, "Pour Some Sugar On Me"....DH thought they said "shoot the hummingbird..." no idea how he came up with that. Every time he hears it, he grins and sings along

 

[browneyes]

Most of Bob Dylan's songs sound like he's saying "bwiwha;k alj;kf aklkkj." I'm sure I've gotten the words wrong.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

"Wave to Dave and wave to Mike"

should be "Wasted days and wasted nights"

and

"Dirty jeans and the dungarees"

should be "Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap".

 

[Annie&Hallie'sMom]

There's always the old favorite, Benny & the Jets...

"she's got electric boobs, a mohair suit..."

No, no, she's got Electric BOOTS.

 

[Lorix2]

My friend always thought "Stand By Me" was "Sven-ga-li"

 

[KimR]

My DD's favorite song used to be 'Crocodile Rock' and she used to sing 'got an Uncle Chevy and a place of my own' instead of 'got an old gold Chevy and a place of my own'.

 

[TTFN]

Another from the Elton John hit "Hold me closer Tony Danza"....

"count the head lice on the highway"

Beth

 

[BHFan25]

I always sang the Flinstones song wrong. The part that said, "Through the courtesy of Fred's 2 feet".
