Misheard lyrics

[nopenopenopejustno]

Until last year I thought the line “Jackie’s in the elevator” in Aerosmith’s love in an elevator was “shagging in the elevator”. Much prefer my version and still sing it

when my daughter was little she used to sing “oooh you’re a sexy fridge” to David guetta sexy bitch, still take the piss out of her for it now

It's not "shagging in the elevator"?! Oh well, like you, I'll forget about Jackie and continue our version

Chasing birds by the foos from their most recent album…


Apparently they sing “chasing birds”, not “Jason Burns”

 

[GlitteryKitten]

Omg I thought it was snail too!! I just figured it was the sound a snail made on a roasting day fml

I'm another one who thought it was 'snail' too

 

[no-no]

Oh, when you walk by every night
Talkin' cheap and lookin' fly

 

[GlitteryKitten]

I know the correct lyric is 'pumpkin ' but I am convinced Brenda Lee sings ' later we'll have some fucking pie and do some carolling'

Same!

Adele - When we were young...

“My god this reminds me, of when we were young” NOT “my darkness reminds me...”

Only discovered this on Sunday.

Danny Wilson Mary’s Prayer



So if I say save me, save me
people lie to my eyes,
and if I say ten Hail Marys
People lie down in heaven for me


The actual lyrics

So if I say save me, save me
Be the light in my eyes
And if I say ten Hail Mary's
Leave a light on in heaven for me

 

[no-no]

Oh my God I was today years old when I found out it’s not Charlie!!!! this is a revelation to me

That’s amazing

There’s a song on the new Foo’s album called Chasing Birds, except i am 100% sure he sings “Jason Byrne”

Babyface- Everytime I close my Eyes...

- And every time I think of it, I pinch myself 'cause

-And everytime I think of it, I piss myself

My mom bought this on cassette back in the day lol have always thought the lyrics to be the latter

I like Stings ode to Radio 4

"Sue Lawley"

And Meatloafs Cilla Black Phantom Bike.

I have genuinely learned so much from this thread - including the need to practice pelvic floor exercises
Looking at you Sidewinder lyrics! How is it not Jamaica??
Spicegirls Hai Si Ja - I've never mis-sung the lyrics but had no idea what it meant.
Absolutely no idea that 'praise you' wasn't sung by FBS.

About 10-15 years ago there was a dance track with the chorus:-

"Keep on pushing harder,
Keep on pushing it harder"

Makes sense for a dance track yeah?

My friends mum was convinced the REAL chorus was :-

"Keep on pushing Arthur,
Keep on pushing King Arthur"

She wasn't taking the piss. She thought we were winding her up when we pointed out her error. I admire the mind that thought the whole King Arthur thing made perfect sense!

Oldie but a goodie. “There it is” by Shalimar.... Ferret Ears....
Go on sing it, you wont ever sing “ There it is” again!!!

 

[Pink_Flamingo]

In Drag Me Down by One Direction, I always thought it was, “the shell of a mannequin that could never be his best”. It’s actually “the shell of a man that could never be his best”.

Me and my partner love mondegreens!! Personal favourites… so last year or so my grandma thought she was cool for learning ‘songs in the charts’ and would sing Anne Marie’s “shower the horse I’m done” (ciao adios I’m done) and Rita Ora “watermelon yeah” (wanna belong uh)

 

[HinchythetwattyGrinchy]

Hospital Beds by Cold War Kids. Always thought it was “we are not fish and chips” until my brother corrected me. It’s actually “Vietnam fishing trips”

Rihanna SOS I've always sang 'I'm naughty got me looking for the rest of me' when its 'I'm lost you got me looking for the rest of me'
