Strangest Misheard Lyric?

[honeywolf7]

LOL...That one is pretty funny, missymouse.

The proper term for misheard lyrics is a "mondegreen". Here's a link to a website that will provide some info on how that term came to be:

Mondegreen Central

I got a chuckle when Sue and I were first married. She didn't like the group "The Raspberries" song "Please Go All The Way". I didn't understand until I realized that she thought the chorus (and title of the song) was "Please GO AWAY".

The lead singer in my husband's band has a heck of a time with lyrics. In the Rick Derringer song, "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" he thought they were singing "it was a warm spank night at the old town hall" instead of "it was a warm SPRING night at the old town hall" and in the old Sam Cook song "Twistin' the Night Away" he would always sing "he's dancing with the chicken slats, they're a movin' up and back" instead of "he's dancing with the chick in slacks". He never fails to crack me up! I'm still trying to figure out what a warm spank night is!

ROTFLMBBO!

Oh my gosh! That is hysterical! Forget a warm spank night, what are chicken slats!!!!!! ROTFLOL!

Missymouse! ROTFLOL!

This thread has made me have tears rolling down my cheeks from laughing so hard!

Unfortunately I can't post it here - because I would be severely reprimanded.....

But, it's from the song "The Mighty Jungle" - don't know exactly what the song title is....... but where the singer is going "Oh....... whatever, whatever," I thought he was singing " My ____________'s wet!"

I was all incensed when Fox TV had a TV show with this song for it's theme song, and expressed my outrage to my DH. You can imagine how dumb I felt when he told me I was sooooooooooo wrong!

Pam I just read this one!

ROTFLMBBO!

I will now forever sing that song using those lyrics! ROTFLOL!

A guy, who was from Mexico, worked with my husband and they were listening to one of my cd's. He asked my husband why they would be singing "Here comes my happy Mexican?"! The line really is "Here comes my happiness again"! After that he would always sing it his way. It was hilarious to hear him do that.

I've only been visiting this board since last summer, but this is the funniest thread I've seen. And no, I don't know what "chicken slats" are either, and I raise chickens!

 

[honeywolf7]

Okay, well this isn't exactly misheard lyrics but there is a song called "Wild Angels" and Thom was playing around with the title (back when we were first married) and he said "Wild Pagans".....I thought he said "Wild Penguins" so I think of that every time I hear the song now.

 

[AngieBelle]

For years, I thought the line in "No Way to Stop it" from The Sound of Music (stage version) that goes "You don't have to bow your head, just stoop a little" was "you stupid little..." lol

My mom thought the song "Who's got the pain when they do the mambo" from Damn Yankees was "who's got the penquin, they do the mambo." We still tease her about that!

[Girls Scout Leader]

DH never gets them right...

Conway Twitty.."Feels so right" becomes "Chrystal Vie" what ever that is

Garth Brook's.."Friends in Low Places" becomes "friends with low faces"

Funny thread!

A friend of mine used to think that Michael Jackson was singing "Shake Your Funny Little Toothbrush" when he was singing "Shake Your Body To The Ground", and she also thought ELO's "Sweet Talkin' Woman" was "Sweet Talkin' Lola". I still sing them that way when I hear them.

Then there's me: I can't post what I think they're saying, but in Destiny's Child's song "Jumpin" I think there's one line in the refrain that sounds X-rated. DH laughed at me when I told him that's what they were saying.

A friend of mine told me this one. In Madonna's "Last night I dreamt of San Piedro" you can hear, instead "Last night I dreamt of some bagels."

DD's interpretation of "OOOPS I did it again"

(must be sung at the top of your lungs while wiggling)

"Ooops you think I'm in love
I sat on my bu-u-u-u-m
I'm not that Edison"

I decided I better find out what it was about, listened to the song they were so upset over - it was Seal - Fly Like an Eagle where they say "I wanna feed the babies... said, who can't get enough to eat ... Wanna shoe the children... no shoes on their feet" my girls heard "Wanna shoot the children"

I pretty sure "Fly Like An Eagle" is not by Seal -- it's by The Steve Miller Band.

And I'm taking a pretty good chance at talking about EAGLES at all today, since this is BUCS territory and we're going to de-feather them this week...

GO BUCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if it's a remake or just a new song (I never heard the Steve Miller Band one), but Seal does sing that song on the Space Jam sdtk.

Boy, I shouldn't be reading this at work! I'm trying so hard not to laugh! My DS (4 yrs old) likes to sing this one song with me called "Good Morning Beautiful" (don't know who sings it) and there is a line that says "since you came along, I can face the dawn" and he belts it out as "since you came along, I can face the dump"! Sort of changes the romantic nature of the song!!

I always have alot of trouble with Elton John lyrics.

In Bennie & the Jets:
Wrong: She's got electric boobs, her mom has two

Right: She's got electric boots and mohair shoes.

I always sang the Tony Danza line in Tiny Dancer.

Hold me closer Tony Danza. ha. ha.

 

[grinningghost]

Yes snels, I also thought that was the line in Bennie & The Jets for the longest time.
