Misheard lyrics

[Hastaggifted]

My daughter sings "I'm in America" instead of "I need a miracle".

I'm definitely going to sing her version forever

Someone posted the song Len - Steal My Sunshine in another thread the other day and I’ve always thought it was “you’re still my sunshine” not if you steal my sunshine. I only ever used to hear the song in the background like on the radio so I think that’s why even though it’s in the title of the song

 

[Amyx1518]

Robbie Williams Rock DJ I used to sing 'Houston do you hear me brother joe can you feel me' Instead of 'Houston do you hear me ground control can you feel me'

Oh my god, same here!

 

[Apple In My Pie]

There’s a song on a mobile phone ad, not sure what it’s called but the line in it is “a little funky sun” and the first few times I heard it I thought it was saying “a little fucking Sun” and was quite shocked that they allowed that line to be used on an advert.

YES!! The line goes something like: "lighting up the [something] with a little funk and soul" and all I hear is "a little fucking soul' LOL

Thin lizzy- whisky in the jar
First time I heard it I thought he was singing there's whisky and my giro

 

[kittypaws]

Also The Beatles, I wanna hold your hand:

It's such a feelin that my love
I get high
I get high
I get high..........

omg I thought it was “I get high” until 10 seconds ago…fuck me that’s a revelation

 

[MilkAndTwoSugars]

“Go Charlie, it’s your birthday” ~ 50 Cent - In da club

I used to think "it's shimmer day" instead of "it's your birthday"

 

[GladiatorReady]

Is it not?

The truth is, I never left you

 

[Good Egg]

Ok for years... sisqo thong song I thought it said let me hear that song baby that song song song song song love it when the beat goes...

I’ll see myself out.

 

[Fancyfeathers]

There's so many ive got wrong over the years, but the one that springs to mind is 'up on the roof' by Robson and jerome, I always thought was upbongaroo....I still sing it like that now, I just cant help it

One of their songs i believe i thought was the song for the back pain cream i bulieve i always think of the cream when they sing that one

 

[chocolate choux]

Lean On by Major Lazer - I thought “blow a kiss, fire a gun” was “Marcuuus, Firegun”

A friend thought Exodus (Bob Marley) was “Taxi-bus”

Once heard of someone mishearing the song that goes “I need a miracle, I need a miracle” as “I hate America” which I can’t unhear now!

 

[Rbarb-bkini]

In Jess Glynne's All I Am, I always sing "Sure the freckles on my arse spell out your name"
I know it's arm but it sounds so much like she is saying arse

As a kid I just used to sing nonsense when I couldn't figure out the words. Does anyone remember the Coco Pops advert song, "I'd rather have a bowl of Coco Pops!" - 4 year old me used to just sing "Harava have a bowl of Coco Pops!"

Someone mentioned it up-thread and I saw the episode today, it was Phoebe in Friends who thought Tiny Dancer was "Hold me close young Tony Danza"

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

This thread is hilarious and has made me realise I’m singing quite a few songs wrong

Praise You by Fatboy Slim. I used to think he was singing, I wanna praise you like a shoe.

Its not Fatboy Slim or indeed a man that is sampled on that record but a woman (I used to think it was a man’s voice as well)

[Snookie]

Bootylicious....

Got ya shook up and scared of me... for years I thought it was looks like ur shit fuckin scared of me

Oh my days I'm dead!!

 

[Spacemonkey1972]

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

 

[lexle]

Instead of “paparazzi”, my mum thought Lady Gaga sings “papa loves me”

 

[GladiatorReady]

For so long I thought it said "like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay you down"... instead of 'I will lay me down'. Completely changed the tone of the song!

 

[Sea]

Deacon Blue - Real Gone Kid….. i thought it was “Living out baby” but just found out (via google) its “Maybe now baby”

Listening to this now on the radio, and well I'm cross that they mislead me all these decades, sing clearer Deacon Blue, less woo woo-ing!

 

[Purrrrrrr]

I thought it was "for you and your kinG" for way too long when I used to hear/sing We Wish You A Merry Christmas.

My then 5yo granddaughter taught it me it was Kin and not King I had been singing it wrong for over 50 years.

ETA I’ve just realised Madonna was older than I am now when she released Ray of Light... I don’t know why that feels so mind blowing, but it does

It feels more scary to me, for she was 39 going on 40 and that’ll be me in less than ten years now. To think that I’m now older than she was in almost all of her 80s hits, I find depressing in a way.
