Misheard lyrics

[Chilledcappucino]

“And when you're not, you're with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a postman, wife of a postman”
[/QUOTE]
That's exactly what I thought too! I live and learn

Naive by the Kooks... I was convinced he was singing ‘I know, she knows, I’m not from the Vatican’

Was a proper oh my god mouth hanging open moment years later when I was strolling down the street listening to it and realised its ‘I’m not fond of asking’. Still cringe about it!

I thought it was "I know, she knows, I'm Noffonderoski". I assumed he was a Russian philosopher

When I was a child I heard that old song about LS Lowry that starts with "he painted Salford's smoky tops on cardboard boxes from the shops." I heard it as "on cardboard boxes from Aldershot" (I lived not far from Aldershot at the time.) I didn't know who the song was about and just imagined someone sitting in Aldershot with a telescope looking all the way up to Salford

Patrick Swayze - She's Like the Wind. My mum used to play this loads when I was a kid. At that age, I had never heard the expression "to be out of someone's league", so I always thought the final chorus was...

Feel her breath in my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
JERONNAMAHLEEEEEEEEE (whatever that is!)

You get to a certain age and you suddenly realise what he's actually saying. It's like a revelation.

This has cracked me up.

I love that song so much, now I’ll giggle every time I hear that part. Thank you!

"I don't wear make up on first dates, cos who I am is enough"
"I don't wear make up on Thursdays, cos who I am is enough" (Jess Glynne - Thursday)

"Blah blah blah Starbucks lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane"
"Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane" (Blank Space - Taylor Swift)

"Cocoa heart, hot done by you"
"Cold, cold heart, hardened by you" (Sacrifice - Elton John)

I’m sorry but even tho I’ve tried I still can’t hear anything but
“I was in a porno with a bag of screaming goats” and then something about “Paulo in a boat”
Roses by Saint John

Iggy Azalea ‘Fancy’

My kids heard ‘Trash the hotel, let’s get drunk on the minibar’ as ‘Lets get drunk on the minibus’

Which sounds like a lot more fun, to be honest.

I don't know who it is by but there is a song with the lyrics, "it's like my iPod's stuck on replay". For longer than I care to admit I thought he was singing, "eyeball", not iPod.

 

[SweetSummerChild]

Macy Gray -

I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
I wear goggles when you are not here…

My SIL fancies herself as being an amazing singer, especially when drunk. Trust me, she's not. Recently heard her warbling along to Dido's 'White Flag'.
The actual lyrics are "I will go down with this ship. I won't put my hand up and surrender" SIL's version however was slightly different: "I will go down with this ship. I won't POKE MY EYES OUT and surrender"

 

[MilkAndTwoSugars]

Omg I have just realised that I had the lyrics to Yazoo's "Only You" totally wrong.

It is:
"All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you"

I thought it was:

**All I needed was a 'love you babe'**

as in, all u had to do was say u love me

 

[Jaceydooley]

Hai Si Ja is the word ‘yes’ in 3 different languages (hai-Japanese, si-Spanish, ja-German). The whole point of the song is celebrating different cultures. Tell your boyfriend to give his head a wobble

I thought it was ‘I see ya hold tight’

 

[Monkeybum]

I thought it was ‘I see ya hold tight’

Me too!! This thread has been a revelation

 

[Marcinabolan]

The first line of Carribean Queen sounds like ‘She touched my meat in painted on jeans.’ I’m sure that’s not the lyrics but I can’t hear anything else!!

 

[Chilledcappucino]

Anyone else had trouble with 'Blinded by the light'?

 

[Neonmoon]

Whenever mr neonmoon listens to sound of silence disturbed version… I always sing like a casserole instead of Silence like a cancer grows

 

[LittleMy]

Anyone else had trouble with 'Blinded by the light'?

Yes!

 

[Tommyb]

Shania twain ' men's shirts, hort skirt' I heard ' men should wear skirts'

Cheryl Cole ' I don't need a parachute' I heard as ' I don't need a pair of shoes'

"My love has got no money he's got his strong beliefs' I heard as ' my love has got no money he's got his trumbalece'

 

[nopenopenopejustno]

Showing my age again. Errol Brown's You Sexy Thing: "I believe in miracles" is NOT what I sing. Genuinely thought it was a cute song about cows: "I believe in moo cows"
