Misheard lyrics

[MaineCoonMama]

Elton John's Tiny Dancer. I had no idea that's what the song was called until I saw the track listing on a CD. I thought it was 'Hold me closer, tie me down sir.'

Always thought Elton John was singing "hold me close I'm trying to dance son" in tiny dancer up until about 5 years ago (I'm in my 30s..)

It's the name of the song ffs

Ooh snap! Almost!

this is my actual favourite thread when i need a giggle

 

[TwooTwooTwitTwitTwoo]

Waterloo
"How does it feel that we won the war?"

I always thought it was "How does it feel that you won the war". I've just had to go and look up what the actual lyrics are! I wonder if I'll ever be able to sing the proper lyrics or if I'll just keep using the same wrong ones as it's so ingrained.

I thought "days later, hey waiter" was "days later, ate waiter" - The Bad Photographer - Saint Etinne

I can't unhear that...

The Kelly clarkson Christmas song - underneath the tree
‘Your here, under the tree, snow is falling with a capital C’
It’s actually ‘snow is falling as the carolers sing’ - I still can’t hear her saying the right words

I heard this on the radio yesterday and thought of what you said.

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!

 

[Tintin93]

This every time. “CALL ME JAMAICAN, CALL ME JAMAICAN”

 

[coconochanel]

Jungle book- I wanna be like you. I used to sing ' I wanna be a man maker' instead of ' I wanna be a man man cub'

 

[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"

 

[Sea]

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

I'm shocked I'm with you!

 

[White]

As a child, I thought 'Everytime you go away' by Paul Young went like this:

Every time you go away
You take a piece of meat with you
---


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..........
---


Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody:

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
It's Miller! No we will not let you go
(Let him go!) it's Miller! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) it's Miller! We will not let you go

 

[MilkAndTwoSugars]

The Kelly clarkson Christmas song - underneath the tree
‘Your here, under the tree, snow is falling with a capital C’
It’s actually ‘snow is falling as the carolers sing’ - I still can’t hear her saying the right words

Omg I've heard this recently and thought it was "snow is falling in the capital city"

avril lavigne - complicated

at the beginning she goes: aha life's like this aha that's the way it is

i thought she said: that's the waitress

and imagined her sitting in a caffe

 

[LittleMy]

The Police - Message in a Bottle

“A year has passed since I broke my nose”

It’s “wrote my note”

 

[Giddyasaschoolgirl]

I know that the lyrics to Strike’s “U sure do” go
“You sure make me feel like loving you”
- but I will GO TO MY GRAVE singing
“Use your name it feels like loving you!”
….knowing full well it’s wrong

 

[Cantstandspanj]

Little Mix - Shout out to my ex, I thought the next line was ‘you’re really crap in bed’. It is in fact ‘you’re really quite the man’!

[keytotruth]

Those aren’t the lyrics!?

Its kin means family

 

[Petulant_vlogger]

"Owner of a lonely heart"= "owner of a lonely horse" ???

 

[Lorny]

I always thought the Stranglers were singing “Better watch out for the Scoobies” rather than “the skin deep”.

Oh and the missus thought that Hot Chocolate were singing “I believe in milko “, what the fuck is a milko I asked her.

I know someone who thought it was “I believe in knuckles”
