Misheard lyrics

[specialone50]

i worked with a lad who sang cant stand gravy for constant craving by KD lang and my friend years ago thought the new kids on the block where singing frigging tough made me chuckle

ABBA - Chiquitita...
Replace every Chiquitita with Chicken Tikka 🥲

AFI - Miss Murder. "Hey miss murder can I?"
Was "hey miss my liking eye" 🥲

haha I do that with Chiqutita even though I know its wrong it makes me chuckle, my husband thinks im so predictable when I hear that

When I was a kid, I used to sing along to Seven Wonders by Fleetwood Mac and utter the immortal line "I'll never live to mash potatoes again" ! I never wondered why the next line was "the rainbow's edge"!

My youngest once asked me to sing all the words to "Water Bus" - I was completely stumped but got her to hum it and it was in fact "One of Us" by ABBA!

 

[Hendrix]

Is that not what she sings?!?!?!

It’s - got a long list of ex lovers

 

[Practically Perfect]

Sacrifice by Elton John. My sister and I both thought the lyrics were 'cocoa hot, was done by you'. Its actually 'cold cold heart, hard done by you'.

We just thought he was reminiscing about the time he used to get hot cocoa made for him. We both found out at the exact same time only last year that we'd been singing it wrong all these years.

i thought, until about 10 seconds ago, that it was coco heart .........oh dear

An old song called Here Comes the Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze

Here comes the hot stepper, murderer
I'm the lyrical gangster, murderer
Pick up the crew in-a de area, murderer
Still love you like that, murderer

I thought it was ' here comes the hotstepper, turn it up, I'm a lyrical gangster turn it up' until I found out years later 'turn it up' was in fact 'murderer'

I never knew it was murderer?! I just sing “here comes the hotstepper derderder”

 

[Resting Rage Face]

First time I heard Madonna's song Erotica, I thought she was singing 'Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body', instead of 'Erotic, Erotic, put your hands all over my body'.

My version is just wrong.

Like this, you mean?

Thong Song by Sisqo. There’s a part where he sings “I like it when the beat goes...” and I always thought he was saying “I like your little billy goat.” fs. I still sing it like that.

[witchofwestbyfleet]

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

 

[coconochanel]

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'

My dad used to think Madonna’s Isla Bonita had lyric “young girl with eyes like pooooootaaaaaatoes”

hahaha I think I had most of the lyrics wrong to this song when I was younger!! Instead of ‘this is where I long to be, La Isla Bonita’ I used to sing ‘this is where I long to be, la is la for meee taaaaa’

 

[newtoyou]

Kylie - can’t get you out of my head, “there’s a dark secret in me”

I thought it was “there’s a dog, see red in me”
