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.)

[Patrick]

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

[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":spudguita Great band those power company dudes

[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.
