misheard lyrics

my friend used to thnk the lyrics to the corus of Blue (Da Be Dee) song by Eiffel 65 was "i'm blue, if i were green i would die, if i were green,i would die" only to find that the real lyrics were " im blue a da be dee a ba dee" it wasnt until we were singing to it together that i told her the words were just random word fragments!

My Borther used to sing the Theme song to the TV show Cops as, "Bad boys bad boys, funky cunsha du funky cunsha du when they come for you."

Funky Cunsha du

In the Eminem song 'Evil Deeds' there's a line that goes:

'Woe is me, there goes poor Marshall again whining about his millions and his mansion'

But I thought it went 'whining about his millions and his pants'.

I always thought in the Weird Al song, "The Night Santa Went Crazy" the line that went, "And he slashed up poor Dasher just like Freddy Krueger!" went "And he dressed up poor Dasher just like Freddy Krueger!"
I always wondered who Freddy Krueger was, and why being dressed why him was such a bad thing.

In Stereophonics' "Have a Nice Day" I was convinced Kelly Jones was telling everyone to "Have a drink of cheese". I'm still not entirely sure what it is!

In Fall Out Boy's song "Our Lawyers Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued", I thought the lyrics were:

With that sweat go on your feet
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

But it actually goes:

We're friends when you're on your knees
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

Fall Out Girl

my mum used to think the line "you missed a spot over there" in "Stacy's Mom" (by Fountains of Wayne) was "yo Mr Spock over there". She thought that was Stacy's Mom's way of flirting with the guy! we teased her when we found out...

When I was growing up my Dad was a huge fan of The Beach Boys, and their song Fun Fun Fun, I thought the chorus was "she'll have fun fun fun when the Daddy took the TEABAG away" it was only until a few years ago I found out that it was actually teabird, he took away. It took 20 years or so for me to realise that! Embarassing lol!

I used to believe that The Beatle's song I Wanna Hold Your Hand actually said,

"I wanna hold your band!"

Dumb...

Some misheard lyrics by me:
The Hush Sound, A Dark Congregation: "Like a hundred sloths escaping" (Like a hundred souls escaping)
"I'm smaller bada gilto this" (I'm swallowed by the guilt of this)
"We are surrounded by all of the choir sleepers" (We are surrounded by all of the quiet sleepers"
The Hush SOund, Lions Roar:
"Don't look a damn" (Delicate dame)
"Into a know" (Into unknown)
THe Hush Sound- We Intertwined
"I was locked up never preached" (I was locked up never free)

Yea... :-S

My youngest brother was known for being musical as a kid and we'd always catch him singing and dancing. The best part of his little act though were his miscontrued lyrics. The one we will never let him live down is O-Town's liquid dreams, where instead of " She's a dominatrix, supermodel, beauty queen," he'd sing "She's a dumb and naked supermodel beauty queen" (though I'm pretty sure the image of that is enough to give most guys liquid dreams...)

I used to(and still do) mishear the lyrics in Eddie Cochran´s "Drive In Show" that in the original go like

"when we're parkin' in the drive-in show
we'll be sittin' in the moonlight row
i'll bet my peanuts to a candy bar
you'll be cuter than a movie star"

To me it was a story about a couple doing forbidden stuff in their car (you know, they´re "parkin") and the guy was quite clever doing a camouflage thing when I heard the words "i´ll wrap my penis to a candy bar" .
Shame on me. ;-)

Slim Tom

when i first heard tracy chapmans Fast Car song i thought she was saying " he's got a five inch cock"

I used to think that the lyrics to Eric Clapton's song "Cocaine" went:
"She's alright, she's alright, she's alright...okay."
I couldn't understand why Eric Clapton would write a song about a girl that he just thought was "alright" and "okay."

I used to think that the lyrics "Hitch a ride" in the "Superman" song were "Hit yer eyes". Consequently, whenever it was played at home I used to run around the house punching myself in the face.

Nermal, England

That Aerosmith song with the lyrics "Dude looks like a lady", well I always thought it was "Do it like a lady"... which would be a better song -in my opinion

Part of the national anthem (UK) goes 'Send her victorious, happy and glorious'. I thought it said 'Send her Victoria, happy and Laura'. This made sense, seeing as at that time there were some twins called Laura and Victoria, so clearly the song was dedicated to them.

Anyone remember the kids show Carmen San Diego? The song at the opening says "Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?" I babysat a 4 year old that watched the show and one day I heard him singing the song except he was singing "Where in the hell is Carmen San Diego?"

annonymous

My younger brother used to think that song by the blue man group, instead of "I'm blue, babadi abadi..." went, "Oh, I'm a bee. I'm a guy. "I'm a bee. I'm a guy." etc. It was hilarious he never could figure out why we would laugh like maniacs when he sang along.

eagles forever!

well up untill a day ago i thought the lyrics to razorlight 'before i fall to pieces were, 'dont wanna kidnap the truth and the ghost she ate' truth being the name of a ghost. it really is 'I don't wanna kidnap the truth and negotiate'. you can see how i got it wrong right?
