misheard song lyrics.

[strayjuliet]

Ok people, I've got a few of these, so now its time to see what you can come up with.
Ever heard a song and thought "wtf did they just say?"

Please put the song that the lyrics come from if you know
it.

Here's one of my favorite misheard lyrics...

"Take a look in the mirror and cry I want my teddy bear".
Somebody To Love. Queen.


(I suspect Hitcher could have fun with this thread.) :hitcher:

[Patrick]

"Warm smell of Policeman..." Hotel California, The Eagles :rofl:

[Magua]

A Friend of mine was singing "ohhhh Sweet Caroline" recently.

Guns 'n' Roses - Sweet Child of Mine.

[Velox]

I've always remembered Hitcher's "Hit me with your pet shark...." It was such a classic! I still have a bit of a laugh about it at random moments in life.

[XTC]

Jimi Hendrix....
Excuse me while I kiss this guy....
Purple Haze i think.

[Motu]

Oh a Tree in Motion
See her gentle sway.

Blondie do a song where Debbie sings my name over and over,I'm kinda flatterd,but have never asked for royalties.

[Virago]

The song "Blinded By The Light", written by Bruce Springstein, defies comprehension even when you can decipher the lyrics.

There's a line in there that I've never understood:

"Little early-burly kept my anus curly-wurly".

[Beemer]

What about Madonna's Like a Prayer - the third verse says "You’re here with me, it’s like a dream, level crossing".

But my favourite from a child (and no, I didn't go to church!) was "bringing in the sheep, bringing in the sheep, we will come rejoicing, bringing in the sheep" - and I even have a Wizard of Id cartoon with the same line in it!

[jazbug5]

Jimi Hendrix....
Excuse me while I kiss this guy....
Purple Haze i think.

Errr... so that isn't the lyric? Goldarnit, all this time I thought it was...!

[Velox]

Oh a Tree in Motion
Woah - I always thought it said that too! Till a few years ago anyway.
It's defintitely the more visually poetic version.

[XTC]

I'm a Prima Donna - UB40, Food for Thought.

I thought that line was - I'm a green banana

[RiderInBlack]

Posted before but here it is again for those who missed it:

"Dirty deeds and the Dunder Chief":Punk::spudguita Great band those power company dudes:Punk:

[dss3]

"I shot the chef, but I did not get the recipe."

not "I shot the sheriff, but I did not get the deputy"

[strayjuliet]

I thought that line was - I'm a green banana

It is meant to be Ivory Madonna but I've always heard it as I'm a prima donna. But you can have alot of fun with it.

[Hitcher]

What a shame I've never kept a complete list of all of my signatures. Such is life.

Just proves my theory though, that everybody has a famous misheard lyric. And yes, "Hit me with your pet shark" (Pat Benatar) is one of my all time favourites.

[ManDownUnder]

check 'em out at www.kissthisguy.com (http://www.kissthisguy.com/)

One of my favs is Joshua Kadison's Jesse

The real lyric
We can go down to Mexico, you, the cat, and me.

The balls up version
We can go down to Mexico's youth academy.

[Patrick]

"And I'm a shoe..." Instead of "And I miss you..." Everything But The Girl.

Used to be a fav of my wife, until a great friend "altered" it...

[Hitcher]

Christmas carols are good fodder for misheard lyrics. Watch out this festive season when "Round John Virgin, mother and child" may make an appearance. In the meantime, "sleep in heavenly peas".

[Sniper]

You can have a lot of fun with ELEMENOP and their lyrics. As I seem to demonstrate at every BBQ?

[MSTRS]

The song "Blinded By The Light", written by Bruce Springstein, defies comprehension even when you can decipher the lyrics.

There's a line in there that I've never understood:

"Little early-burly kept my anus curly-wurly".
Dunno bout the lyrics but I thought Manfred Mann did that one??

[yungatart]

And then theres the song that was banned from NZ radio stations
F... the casbah

[Beemer]

My mother's favourite was Alison Moyet's "I go wees, wees in the presence of beauty" - I used to like that song until I heard her singing it one day!

[Wolf]

"Wrapped up like a douche" - Blinded By The Light

Just found out yesterday (from a misheard lyrics site) it's "Revved up like a deuce"

My niece, Karen, had the following lyrics to a popular round:

Wear a jarka, wear a jarka ("j" pronounced in the french fashion)
Dormez vous, Dormez vous
Siminiminimu, Siminiminimu
Ding ding dong, ding ding dong

Would she believe me, that the words she was looking for were "Frere Jacques" and "Sonnez les Matines"?

Nope. The Inquisition could have tortured her and burned her at the stake and not made her recant her "heresy".

[*sic]

pearl jam. song 'glorified g'

right lyric: "glorified version of a pellet gun"

wrong one: "forty five versions of a pelican"

[hXc]

Here's a few that I sometimes hear people singing.

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Would you exchange
A welcome part in the war
For a negro in a cage

My Sacrifice - Creed
It's my sack of fries.

Renegades Of Funk - Rage Against The Machine
When a redneck needs a fuck.

And not really as misheard lyric but something that some of last years 7th formers at school said. Their deans were Mr Barker and Mrs Worlledge so that will explain.
I shot Mr Barker, but I did not shoot Mrs Worlledge

[strayjuliet]

"Flash back oh no, always left behind."
Time after Time Cyndi Lauper.

[bugjuice]

goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I chunder
tho I try to hide it
it's clear - I wear goggles when you're not near.. - Macy Gray - I try

[Velox]

Just remembered, one of my mates used to sing Grease Lightening:
"I've got shoes, they're multiplying..."
:2thumbsup

[SPman]

Posted before but here it is again for those who missed it:

"Dirty deeds and the Dunder Chief":Punk::spudguita Great band those power company dudes:Punk:

"Dirty deeds, done with sheep!"

[RiderInBlack]

You know, those songs that when they are played @ Night Clubs you just have to add those special words:devil2: Like with the somg "Living Next Door To Alice", I just cann't resist adding "Who the fu*k is Alice:spudwhat: ":devil2:
What about you Dudes and Dudettes?

[MD]

One of the most common ones has to from "I'd really like to see you tonight" by Englund Dan and John Ford Coley or something like that.

Misheard as... "I'm not talking about my linen"
Supposed to be (and I still deny this myself) ...
" I'm not talking about movin in" Made more famous by Samuel L Jackson when he was singing it in a movie with... oh bugger I can't remember her name, tall leggy and beautiful with dark hair? Movie might have been "Kiss of the night", then again maybe not.

[Motu]

My high school had assembly everyday,about 900 on the roll.We sang hymes and standard stirring songs like Men of Harleck,but also some modern stuff of the time (late 60s) like the Beatles and Englebert Humperdink.I think the music teacher liked having such a big choir to play with,from squeaky 3rd form boys to 6th form basses.But us naughty technical boys had our own lyrics,and the only time we sang loudly was when we did our alternative lyrics - it was funny to see the teachers up on stage pick it up and start searching for who was doing it....they had a pretty good idea of course.Any misdemeanour at assembly was punished by a caning,the slimmy Prefects would haul you out and you had to wait to the end to get a couple of wacks from one of the best caners in the school - it was a proud moment when I got hauled out the first time.

[Sniper]

- it was a proud moment when I got hauled out the first time.

Or when you are called out to stand on stage and apologise to everyone for making stupid noises in assembly only to have your 3 best mates stand up and say "Don't worry mate, didn't bother us." Resulted in the whole school laughing and us 4 getting 3 weeks detention.

[scumdog]

Hmm, "Maybe Madonna, they maybe have your dress,
"Wonder how you managed to beat the rest"

Well thats' what it sounded like to me when the Beatles first released it.

[ManDownUnder]

As some of you may recall from an old signature of mine, my little boy used to sing

"We will, we will ROCKING HORSE" (Queen - we will rock you)

Absolutely crippled myself laughing the first time I heard it

[unhingedlizard]

Blur Song 2
"all of the time and Im never sure what im eating,
Is there any jam?"

[Hitcher]

As some of you may recall from an old signature of mine, my little boy used to sing

"We will, we will ROCKING HORSE" (Queen - we will rock you)

Absolutely crippled myself laughing the first time I heard it
I often wondered what that was all about.

[El Dopa]

Three for ya, thanks to my wife:

'I had my first real sex dream, down at the five and dime' - Bryan Adams.

Yep I remember a few other's like: We Will Rock You (f*ck you stick it right up you) and Moni Moni (hey motherf*cker get laid, get f*cked) Please don't condemn me for these, was mostly my mates who were singing 'em. Honest *bats eyes with puppy-dog eyes*

[RiderInBlack]

'How many dudes you know roll like this? Not many, Aunt Penny' -Scribe:killingme

Moni Moni (hey motherf*cker get laid, get f*cked)Yep, another Night Club favorite of mine:devil2:

[Storm]

From my better half at a younger age, from Grease, instead of meditatate in my direction
"meditate a mad erection" :D

[strayjuliet]

From my better half at a younger age, from Grease, instead of meditatate in my direction
"meditate a mad erection" :D

I thought it was: meditatate my affection.
:Oops:

[strayjuliet]

Thinking of that song reminds me of how my 6 year old sings it: "you better shut up."

[cowpoos]

The song "Blinded By The Light", written by Bruce Springstein, defies comprehension even when you can decipher the lyrics.

There's a line in there that I've never understood:

"Little early-burly kept my anus curly-wurly".

Blinded by the light
revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night (fading)

Madman dummers bummers,
Indians in the summer,
With a teenager diplomat
And the dumps with the mumps
As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat

With a boulder my shoulder,
feeling kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
(pickup)
the calliope crashed to the ground

(chorus)

Some silicon sister with a manager mister
told me I go what it takes.
I'll run you on sonny to something strong
play the song with the funky break

And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the
weather charts see if it was safe outside
And little Early Burly came by in his curly wurly
and asked me if i needed a ride
(pickup)
asked me if i needed a ride


(chorus)

Bridge: She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it to the night
She's gonna make it through the night


(break with soul-stirring solo)

Oh momma that's where the fun is
But momma that's where the fun is
Momma always told me not to look
in the eye's on the sun
But momma that's where the fun is

(chop sticks variation)

So brimstone-baritone, anti-cyclone Rolling Stone
Preacher from the East,
says dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone
thats what they expect at least

It's a new grown chaperon standing in the corner
watching the young girls dance
and some fresh sown moonstone messing with his frozen zone,
only reminding him of romance
(pickup)
and the calliope crashed to the ground

(Chorus)

(Chorus and First Verse)

Now Scott with the sling-shot finally found a tender spot
and throws his lover in the sand
and some blood-shot forget-me-not
said Daddy's within earshot, save the buck-shot, turn up the band

(repeat Verse 2 "Silicon sister with a manager....")
(bridge)

Simply irresistable "she's so mad I gotta tell her where to go" or: "she's so mad gotta tell her where the money went."
Robert Palmer. Simply Irresistable.

[Hitcher]

My favourite misheard Robert Palmer line is: "Gonna have to face it you're a dick with a glove."

[strayjuliet]

Queen I Want To Break Free
A friends of mine was singing "I want to break tree's."

"Bonnie Tyler's. Have You Ever Seen The Rain?"
Well my version is: "Have you ever seen Lorraine." (coming down on a sunny day.)

[Beemer]

"Dirty deeds, done with sheep!"

Ah, so you're the filthy bastard responsible for our Jenny dropping triplets in the front paddock on Sunday? Start paying for the sheep nuts or we'll drop them round to your place for the weekend! :spudwave:

Whenever I hear the song American Pie by Don Mclean, I can't stop thinking of Weird Al Yankovich The Saga Begins. :killingme

[Patrick]

One just heard tonight... lyrics should be, "cheap champagne and a three day growth.."

Misheard as "cheap champagne and three gay goats..." :eek5:

Reminds me of dirty deeds done with sheep!

[Scorpygirl]

What about Goodbye Yellow Brick Road from Elton John

So Goodbye Yellow Brick Road..... Your cat's pee'd in your penthouse!!! :rofl:

[Wolf]

Just remembered, one of my mates used to sing Grease Lightening:
