music

I used to believe…

My Dad was drunk one night at a wedding reception and kept on singing at the top of his lungs to Dancing Queen by Abba, but he kept singing

"Dancing Queen, eating a Chinese with Mr Bean oh yeah, you can dance in your underpants......"

Of course they were not the right words but still had people in fits of giggles.

I used to believe…

My now ex-boyfriend pointed out that that what I thought were the real lyrics to the song Constant Craving by k.d. lang as I was singing 'Can't stand gravy' He insisted that the title didn't have the word gravy in it anywhere.

I used to believe…

my boyfriend was singing to a song on the radio by Dexy's Midnight Runners called Come on Eileen, but he didn't sing the real words that were

Come on Eileen
Oh I swear what he means
at this moment
you mean everything

Oh no, instead he sang what HE thought were the real words:

Come on Eileen
Oh I swear we cook Beans
at this moment
we cook only peas

I used to believe…

The Abba song Chiquitita, I corrected a friend of mine who was wailing his version out at the top of his lungs! because he sang "Take your teeth out, tell me what is wrong" instead of "Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong "

I used to believe…

When we were teenagers, my sister and I heard the song on the radio, and she remarked how funny it was that we used to think it said "Goin' to the chapel and we're
gonna get mad at Harry." I replied, "Oh, yeah! Funny!"

I used to believe…

This was really my friend's, and I was at her house, and she's singing along really loud in her room. I'm like, "Ashley, that came with words."

Champagne tippin' over in the sky

It took me ages to convince her that the real lyrics are ...Champagne Supernova in the sky

I used to believe…

Singing at the top of my lungs (off key & voice cracking) into my boyfriend's ear.to a fave song by Queen: I sang

'Beelzebub has a cupboard put aside for me'

When he recovered from his attack of hysteria, he told me the real words. which are:

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me...

Thing is tho, I still sing this version.

I used to believe…

My 3 year-old nephew was singing Bob the Builder, but instead of the real words that are....

Scoop, Muck, and Dizzy
Roly too, ....

He sang....

Too f***ing busy,
Rolly too...

He was walking around the house one day, and his mother and I both looked at each other and said "WHAT did he just say?!?"

I used to believe…

"She's just a girl, with a big fat bum"

Billie-Jean lyrics "She's just a girl, who claims that I am the one


Once again, I can attribute this to my dear old Mum who honestly believed these lyrics were the real ones... we've had her hearing checked since the 80's...

I used to believe…

Take That: Want you back.Want you back for good.

Instead someone told my Mum that these were the words.

Wash your back.
Wash your back for good.

I then picked up on them and was always going around singing it, and one day at school someone in my class corrected me. I was so embarrassed.

I used to believe…

my little sister used to sing her version of Robbie Williams "Angels" but her bit was "And through it all she offers me protection, a little love and infection!" but it really goes "And through it all, she offers me protection, a lotta love and affection"This was actually another classic from my 5 year old sister, who was belting it out at the top of her voice. We just didn't have the heart to correct her!!
.

I thought that it was a song about Michael Jackson when I first heard it and I asked a friend if he had heard this song. He had me recite the lyrics. which I thought were

'Might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove.

but the real words are....

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.


He laughed at me for days.

I used to think that Robert Palmer was singing "you might as well face it, you're a dickhead in love." instead of the real lyrics which are "...you might as well face it, you're addicted to love."

I used to believe…

When my son ,Jay, was little, I would always sing the song "My Girl" to him, but I would change the lyrics to "I'll bet you'll say, what can make a Mama feel this way, My Jay, My Jay, My Jay, talkin' 'bout my Jay---------------------As we mostly listen to CHRISTian music, it was a long time until he actually heard the real song, when we were out one time. He was mad to find out that the song really wasn't about him.

I used to believe…

All of my family and friends have always sung to the song 'I Try' by Macy Gray "I wear goggles when you are not here" when it actually says "My world crumbles when you are not near". We had no idea why she was wearing goggles but we say it anyway

I used to believe…

My Brother thought that thelyrics to the Who song, Who are you, were "Blue Walrus: needless to say, I can no longer listen to the song without thinking of him singing the song!

I don't know what the real lyrics are or even what the title of the song is, but I do know that my misheard lyrics are probably not the right ones:

"Every morning there's an alligator hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's bed!"
