Misheard lyrics

[Cinders91]

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

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

 

[Laur91]

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”

 

[no-no]

Burn a bip ‘n ‘a Cotton Eye Joe.

aka

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe.

Thought it was just gobbledegook.

That 90s song Mr Vain by Culture Beat...as a child, I thought she was saying "Calling Mr Vader" instead of "Calling Mr Raider"

All these years I thought Amy Winehouse was saying "fuck my head with superman" in Tears Dry on their Own but she's actually saying "Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men" which obviously makes more sense

Mine was Dancing Queen: you’re adhesive, you turn him on instead of “you’re a teaser”. Made sense to 8/10 year-old me, as adhesive is sticky and if you’re into someone you want them to get close to you and not leave!

 

[Lord Voldemort]

For an embarrassingly long time, I thought Fall Out Boy's Sugar, We're Going Down lyrics said: "tonight, I'm watching YouTube from the closet" when infact it's: "tonight, I'm watching you two from the closet"

To be fair Patrick hardly has the best diction, can't tell what he's singing most the time!

 

[MilkAndTwoSugars]

I just realised tonight that Jason Derulos song is called "Savage Love" when I thought it was "Selfish Love".

Not funny, but thought I'd share anyways xx

 

[MilkAndTwoSugars]

For the past 22 years i’ve gotten a lyric to ‘When i grow up - Pussy Cat Dolls’ wrong. It blew my mind.
i always thought it was “when i grow up, i want to be famous, i want to be a star, i want to have boobies” BUT ITS NOT. ITS GROUPIES.

I legit thought it was "I wanna be in movies"

 

[bubbadabut]

I always thought the Meghan Trainor song was "I'm all about that bass, no trouble" til my husband pointed out it was actually "no treble".

 

[Reality_tv_lover]

Everybody go to b&q united
Instead of everybody move your hair and feel united

 

[Blurp]

Bob Marley, "Is This Love". The line is actually "with a roof right over our heads". I can never hear anything but a roof rack.

 

[Al Fresco]

Killer Queen - She keeps her Moët and Chandon in a pretty cabinet.

So she didn’t keep a mower and shovel in there then?

What is it with me and Queen? Sang along to Bohemian Rhapsody on the radio today and still changed it from “I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all” to “ I sometimes wish I’d never been boiled in oil”.

 

[Babyyoda88]

My boyfriend thought the lyrics to spice girls spice up your life when they sing “Hai Si Ja Hold tight” was “taxi ride, hold tight”. So I googled it to show him and he said me and google where wrong! don’t think so pal, I grew up singing that song.

 

[petitspois]

When I was growing up, a friend though Debbie Harry was singing 'French Shipping in the USA'

 

[Ihatedoinglaundry]

Tracey Chapman “Baby can I hold you”

Instead of “maybe if I told you the right words, at the right time, you’d be mine” ...... I sang (god honestly it’s so embarrassing)

“Maybe if I told you the right words, oh in the light , Orangutang” - I DONT KNOW WHY. I just did.

 

[Monkeybum]

I thought it was ‘I see ya hold tight’

Me too!! This thread has been a revelation

 

[cowtastrophe]

I heard the Lizzo song Good as Hell as played at Glastonbury and I spent the morning walking around singing ‘air drop, check my mails’ before my husband finally asked me what the hell i was singing. Turns out it‘s ‘hair toss, check my nails’.

 

[Keet]

Meatloaf , bat out if hell “on cilla black’s phantom bike” instead of “on a silverback phantom bike”
