Strangest Misheard Lyric?

[SPAGo 98]

I'm listening to Mandy Moore's "In My Pocket" and I swear she says "nothing but panties in my pocket." The actual lyric is "nothing but pennies in my pocket."

What's the weirdest way you've re-interpreted a song?

When I was little I used to sing along to The Eagles, however one line came out "Take it to the liver" instead of "take it to the limit"... of course given how hard rock stars party I was probably more accurate the first time.

Put a penny on her chest . instead of benny and the jets
carefree, that's all i ever heard. instead of halfbreed

I think this thread is hysterical

I knew someone who thought that Elton John's "Island Girl" was "I like girls"

Bonnie Raitt sang: "You're as desperate to get back up, as I am not to fall".

I sang: Your *** gets smacked, so get back up, 'cause I am not at fault."

ROTFLOL!

A friend of mine skiing and singing at the top of his lungs " I need anyone, I need anyone, I need anyone when you smile" Instead of " I"m in heaven, I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven when you smile" From Jackie Wilson Says by Van Morrison. We still tease him about that

Hold me closer Tony Danza instead of hold me closer tiny dancer by Elton John.

I had a friend who thought the lyrics to "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" by the Gap Band was really "You're Just a Bumblebee"!

The Gin Blossoms had a song, Hey Jealousy . My (then) 5 year old neice would sing at the top of her lungs:

Hey Jellybeans!

Billie Joel... Movin' Out (I think)

Across from the medical center (actual lyric)

I kept on hearing across from the mad placenta....

Bee Gee's -- How Deep is your Love. The line:
And you come to me on a summer breeze
mistaken for
And you come to me on a submarine


Madonna -- I'm Gonna Dress You Up In My Love
Mistaken for:
I'm gonna Dress You Up in Nylons

A song by Weezer: He says: I've got my hash pipe.

It sounds like: I got my a** wiped.


Dumb song either way, but catchy tune

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!

Mice of Georgia instead of the correct lyrics..."My eyes adored ya"!

I bought the soundtrack for Spacejam for my kids because they really liked the song "I believe I can Fly" and a few others in the movie. They came to me after playing it and said there was a song on there that I wouldn't want them to listen too

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'm glad they decided it wasn't a good thing to listen too, they liked it much better after I told them what the song really said

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!

When dh's niece was about four years old, she had to sing
"Jingle Bells" for the Christmas play. She would always mistake the line "...Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh." with "...Oh so fun is to wide in a wowo sopen say."

DD thought it was "now I know how my new panties feel". The real lyrics are "now I know how Richard Petty feels". I never laughed so hard.
