Favourite misheard lyrics?

[tuvor]

I didn't "mishear" these, but a recent post reminded me of the first one:

"Your love is like bad medicine! Bad medicine is what I need!"

misheard as

"Thoreau is like Ralph Emerson! Ralph Emerson is what I read!"


and

"Na na, nana na na, my angel is a centerfold."

misheard as

"Na na, nana na na, my anus is the center hole."




What're yours?

[Moochy]

1. "Blinded by the light, dressed up like a douche"

"Blinded by the light, dressed up like a douche, you know the boner in the night"

"Na na, nana na na, my anus is the center hole."

heheh whoever heard that was playing skee ball or something.

[Gemini Cat]

17. I heard it almost the same way.

Instead of boner, I heard rubber.
"Blinded by the night dressed up like a douche another rubber in the night."

I was confused of course, about how one would dress up like a douche.

[Jamastiene]

22. Isn't that what they were actually singing???

If not, what? I'm curious now. I thought those were the real lyrics...

[RebelOne]

37. The real lyrics were:

From www.kissthisguy.com

Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

[Jamastiene]

57. I didn't know that. All this time, I have thought it was

wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night.

[expatriot]

2. "Excuse me.... while I kiss this guy." nt

[expatriot]

3. "Hold me closer, Tony Danza" nt

[regnaD kciN]

59. Gee, thanks!!!

Now I'm going to have that stuck in my head every time I hear that song.

:grr:

[latebloomer]

29. Classic! n/t

[Swede]

4. A gay pair of guys put up a parking lot.

Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi.

[RebelOne]

40. The real lyrics are:

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

[kodi]

5. from "bull durham"

the lines sung by nuke laloosh...."some girls they do get wooly"

from "try a little tenderness"

[mykpart]

6. OK, I saw this on a rerun of "Wings"

Antonio was singing the first English song he ever learned.
"My goat knows the bowling score, alleluia"

[Pobeka]

7. Money for nothing and chips for free.

I mean, seriously, chips don't cost that much to begin with!

[RebelOne]

38. The real lyrics are:

Money for nothin' and chicks for free

[Bat Boy]

8. The Beatles - Helter Skelter

I couldn't believe I did this. The actual lyrics are:

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again.

Do you, don't you want me to love you
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter.

Here's what I heard:

Start a race war and become king of the earth.
Gather a bunch of rabid followers and coax them to
Go on a murderous rampage.
If you get caught, carve a swastika into your forehead.
That'll show 'em you mean business.

In retrospect, it really doesn't sound anything like that at all.

[tuvor]

9. LOL

You had me puzzled for a bit.

[Bat Boy]

11. You thought those were the lyrics too?

Thank god. I thought I was alone on that...

[CanuckAmok]

20. LOL! You're the king!

[Bat Boy]

23. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

[expatriot]

33. Hey, at least your cats didn't start singing it over and over to you

as if they were telling me to do something... giving me instructions.... to do something.... must do...

[khashka]

35. ROFLMAO

Good one, bat boy!

Khash.

[allalone]

10. CCR

there's a baboon on the right!

[The Great Escape]

12. Tavares....'More Than a Woman' = 'Bald Headed Woman'

[BrotherBuzz]

13. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bathroom on the right.

Hey, I got better understanding the song as time went by, but you have to understand I first heard it on a very crappy AM transistor radio and that's what I heard.

[Moochy]

18. There's a bathroom on the right.

Sounds like a bad night out, Mr Fogerty! :)

[MisterP]

14. the President is the infamous non-piano-playing Sunday monkey

[Nailzberg]

15. My friend recently asked if I had a copy of "Caribou Queen"

Misheard Billy Ocean's Caribbean Queen.

I mean, what kinda title is that for a song? What exactly is a Caribou Queen?

She is Swedish, so I let it slide without making fun of her too badly.
I blame it on the English being her second language and the possibility that Caribou Queen might be some regional beauty pageant title from Smaaland.

[The Great Escape]

16. Someone Told Me That Their Was A Version Of That Song...

entitled 'European Queen' that was released overseas. I have never heard it though.

[latebloomer]

24. Hey, I'm from Jersey

and I though it was "Caribou Queen" until this very moment!

[Nailzberg]

26. So what did you think the song was about?

Seriously. Not making fun of you, I want to know what you thought the meaning of term "Caribou Queen" meant? Cause I'm curious as to why she liked the song if it was about moose royalty.

[latebloomer]

27. No fuckin idea

And I really wasn't nuts about the song

It really does sounds like he's saying "caribou", though.

[Nailzberg]

28. An honest answer. Now I'm even more confused.

But now I can't blame it on a language barrier or a Scandinavian Pageant. Why she wanted me to burn a copy of the song for her so badly makes absolutely no sense now.

damn Swedish girls.

[latebloomer]

32. no accounting for taste! n/t

[Kire]

19. White Stripes - "Hear this n*gger sound."

dead leaves and the dirty ground
when I know you're not around
shiny tops and soda pops
when I hear your lips make a sound
when I hear your lips make a sound

thirty notes in the mailbox
will tell ya that I'm coming home
and I think I'm gonna stick around
for a while so you're not alone
for a while so you're not alone

if you can hear a piano fall
you can hear me coming down the hall
if I can just hear your pretty voice
I don't think I need to see at all
don't think I need to see at all

soft hair and a velvet tongue
I wanna give ya what you give to me
and every breath that is in your lungs
is a tiny little gift to me
is a tiny little gift to me

I didn't feel so bad 'til the sun went down
then I come home
no one to wrap my arms around
wrap my arms around

well any man with a microphone
can tell you what he loves the most
and you know why you love at all
if you're thinking of the holy ghost
if you're thinking of the holy ghost

[Kire]

21. are you from england, tuvor?

Favourite?

[latebloomer]

25. Menage a trois

from "Groovin"

"Life would be ecstasy
You and me and Leslie"

My husband misheard that the same way.

[RebelOne]

41. The real lyrics are:

You and me endlessly

[grrl62]

45. me too!

woo hoo! :silly:

[u4ic]

30. Gordon Lightfoot's "Sundown"

REAL lyrics are:

"Sundown ya better take care
If I find you been creepin’ ’round my back stairs"

BUT I used to hear

"sundown you better take care
If I find you've been drinking my Labatt's ale"


:shrug:

[EFerrari]

31. Live recording of "White Rabbit"

I might have been tripping but Doug wasn't. We couldn't figure out the punchline -

"Feed your Dad"
"Eat your dead"
"See your bed"

:rofl:

[RebelOne]

39. The real lyrics are:

Feed your Head

[AntiCoup2K4]

34. "Oh Oh Oliver Stone"

Song: Oh Oh I Love Her So
Artist: Ramones

The real lyrics were:
Oh Oh, I love her so

misheard as:
Oh, Oh, Oliver Stone

It almost does sound like it, especially on the live album "It's Alive". Funny thing is that Oliver Stone wasn't really all that famous in 1978 when the song was written.

[billyskank]

36. "Be-el-ze-bub, has the devil got a sideboard"

:D

Also, The Police did a song that sounded like it was about the British newsreader Sue Lawley, although they were actually singing "so lonely." A lot of people were confused by that one, including Ms Lawley herself...

[Mizmoon]

42. "Sitting on a throne of gold" misheard as "Sitting on a donut hole"

It's a reggae song (by Steel Pulse, if you're curious). I heard my friend singing the misheard lyrics and almost fell out of my chair laughing. It was all in good fun, tho.

[FLSurfer]

43. Love shack by the B-52's

The part where the Blonde say's "tiaaah ruuhhh ruuut".
Never had any idea what that was, til a friend of mine told me it
is "Tin Roof Rusted".

[grrl62]

46. i always thought it was

"heeennnnnrrryyyyy.... busted/dusted"

:wtf: :rofl:

[RebelOne]

51. The real lyrics are:

You what?! Tin roof - rusted.

[youthere]

44. From "Another one Bites the Dust"

I heard "Another one bites the doctor"

[RebelOne]

52. The real lyrics are:

Bites the dust uh!

[Lost4words]

47. dirty deeds done dirt cheap, I heard, dirty deeds dundlecheek

what the hell is dundlecheek?

My wife told me it was done dirt cheap.

[kwassa]

48. "I'm your penis, I'm your fire, at your desire"

"Venus" by Shocking Blue, indeed.

"I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire"

[latebloomer]

55. Makes sense to me!

I heard it the same way.

[petronius]

58. "choke me, sire" is how I hear that 3rd line

which always seemed a little too kinky...

[liberalitch]

49. frito lady mama livin' a lie.....

I don't even know what the real line is.... from that 70's disco song... that was redone for Moulan Rouge..... magnolia wine?

None-the-less: poor frito lady mama

[kwassa]

50. "Another one rides the bus"

"Another one bites the dust", by Queen

[Hugin]

53. Huey Lewis....

It's funny, but, my mishearing of lyrics in,
"The Heart Of Rock And Roll" make more sense
to me than the real lyrics do.


What I hear...
"The obow may be barely breathing"

I've heard the music wind instruments generate
called "breathing"... So, initially it made sense.

The correct lyrics?
"The old boy may be barely breathing"

What? Rock and Roll is an old boy barely breathing...
But, his heart is still beating? I don't get it.

[Hugin]

54. One other one... It's a classic I suppose.

ZZTop... (I know, I'm mad at them right now too.)

Cheap Sunglasses

What I hear...
"buy yourself some big black brains"

The actual lyrics:
"buy yourself some big black frames"

I *never* hear that correctly.

[bertha katzenengel]

56. MEALWORMS

My love
I'll never find the words, my love
to show you how I feel, my love
mealworms could not express...
