Misheard lyrics

[OoglyBoogly]

When I was a kid, I used to sing "there's a baboon on the right" to Credeence Clearwater Revival's Bad Moon Rising.

Don't break my heart, my achy breaky heart - Don't break my heart, by eggy breggy heart. (Billy Ray Cyrus)

He's The Greatest Dancer by Sister Sledge... "I wonder why he's the greatest dancer" instead of "oh what, oh wow, he's the greatest dancer". I still think my version is better.

My husband is so bad with lyrics that I have stopped correcting him. I find it hysterical to see what he'll come out with next. However, I did have to correct him yesterday when he singing Blondie's 'Hanging On The Telephone' he came out with 'Hanging On The Radio' ... I mean, it's the bloody title of the song and he still got it wrong.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Strangely I've got a reverse misheard lyric. Kings of Leon 'The Bucket'.
I've been merrily singing along 'Eighteen, balding, star' thinking I must look up the actual lyrics as they are ridiculous. I did. And they are the actual lyrics

 

[nopenopenopejustno]

Work by Rihanna. I can't make out a damn word (fossil alert!) so basically sing "wer wer wer wer wer" to the entire song.

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 thought it was capital C too!!

 

[Moanyoldwoman]

For years my friend was singing Kelis song with the lyrics “let’s get it on in public” and she was singing “let’s get it on in Poland”

I mean come on

Okay this one made me laugh out loud, take a look at the fireman’s hand hahahahahaha.

I dont even know why I thought it was that I mean it doesnt even make sense.

 

[Ineedmorecoffee]

Iggy Azalea ‘Fancy’

My kids heard ‘Trash the hotel, let’s get drunk on the minibar’ as ‘Lets get drunk on the minibus’

Which sounds like a lot more fun, to be honest.

"I don't wear make up on first dates, cos who I am is enough"
"I don't wear make up on Thursdays, cos who I am is enough" (Jess Glynne - Thursday)

"Blah blah blah Starbucks lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane"
"Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane" (Blank Space - Taylor Swift)

"Cocoa heart, hot done by you"
"Cold, cold heart, hardened by you" (Sacrifice - Elton John)

Similarly I thought the chorus of the 1970s song "Haven't stopped dancing yet" went "I haven't stopped dancing yet, since we met on a Thursday". It's actually "I haven't stopped dancing yet, since we met on our first date".

Found out today that in maroon 5’s Sunday Morning he does not sing “oooohhhh eileeen” and says “all I need”

I’m going to sing this instead now. I prefer your version

Rain on me by Ariana Grande.

I always sang "I'd rather be drunk but at least I'm alive"

When it is actually "I'd rather be dry but at least I'm alive"

Makes more sense when you think of the title...I just thought she was having a shit week and needed a drink

DRY? wtf!!

 

[coconochanel]

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

I've always sang that.

 

[Hendrix]

Dua Lipa - Levitating

The correct lyrics are ‘And I'm feeling so electric, dance my ass off’ but I always hear it as ‘And I like you so I’ll let you touch my arsehole’

 

[Flossy2019]

My bf thinks Jess Glynes no make up on Thursdays (I don’t know the official title) where she says Cos Who I am is enough he thinks
She says I can never get it up

My sister and I were avid watchers of the original Disney's The Little Mermaid. In the "Part of Your World" song, she sings about pregnant women who are sick of swimming. I thought nothing of it at the time.

It was only when I watched the updated version with my daughter that I realised it was actually "bright young women, sick of swimming, ready to stand".

 

[TapToBoreMeRigid]

I don't know who it is by but there is a song with the lyrics, "it's like my iPod's stuck on replay". For longer than I care to admit I thought he was singing, "eyeball", not iPod.

 

[Twirliegirlies]

The song is Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar On Me”.

Actual lyric: “Livin’ like a lover with a radar phone”

What I hear: Livin' like a loser with a red iPhone”

I know it’s wrong, I just can’t unhear it

I thought that it was just me. I took it as red eye phone.

 

[MilkAndTwoSugars]

Omg I have just realised that I had the lyrics to Yazoo's "Only You" totally wrong.

It is:
"All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you"

I thought it was:

**All I needed was a 'love you babe'**

as in, all u had to do was say u love me

 

[JakeM]

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.

Those aren’t the lyrics!?
