music: misheard lyrics

Beatles - Penny Lane
Actual lyrics:
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies, I sit up, meanwhile back

My lyrics:
And Elaine is in my ears and in my eyes.
Troll beneath the blue suburban skies, I sit up, three wild ducks.

I was convinced that Abba's 1980 number 1 hit "Super Trouper" contained the lyric "I was sick and tired of everything, When I called you last night from Tesco's".

It's actually "...from GLASGOW"!

Again, the mom though the Stones were saying "I'll never leave your Pizza burning" instead of "I'll never be your beast of burden"

I used to think the Neil Diamond song "Forever in Blue Jeans" was actually him singing about The Reverend Blue Jeans and I assumed it was about a man of the cloth being cool and appealing to the younger generation. Only realised the real song title and lyrics a few years ago. My dad and I prefer my version and always change the song as we sing along.

My younger brother (who doesn't even like rock 'n' roll) heard the line in the chorus of "Suffragette City" as "Don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the chickens..." (real: "ticket"). This seems to be a common one, but earlier in the song he'd also heard "The smell of fried chicken put my spine out of place." (real: "this mellow-thighed chick".) He still calls it the chicken song.

When I was about 9, i herd the song "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson. I could'nt really hear the part where he was singing "the beautiful people" part so it sounded like he was saying "Go suck a meatball, go suck a meatball."
(I finally memorized all of his songs at my age now and hes my favorite musician!)
lol... go suck a meatball...thats my quote now! lol

My cousin and I went to a aerobics class, and they played 'raise a little hell'. right then she told me that all her life she (until now) she thought that it was 'raise a little elf'. I couldn't finish the class I was laughing so hard.

There's a heavy metal group called Disturbed,who has a song called Stupify.The correct lyrics were "Look in my face,step into my soul,I begin to stupify.Rock!"For the longest time I thought it was "Deep in my plate,deep in my bowl,I eat Spaghetti-O's!Rock!"I have absolutely NO IDEA where that came from!

I thought the song by the Rolling Stones, "If you start me up" was saying "Yugoslavia."

You laugh but you will never stop Yugoslavia.

I used to think that the KD Lang song 'Constant Craving' was actually "Can't stand gravy"!It used to make me feel ill every time I heard it!

My niece, Alisse, heard the song "Felis Navidad" one day on the radio and was amazed. She thought the song said, "Alisse, mom, and dad". So now when we ask her to sing a Christmas song she'll sing that, HER way. Don't try to tell her she's wrong, she KNOWS it's about her family.

I used to think that Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady" was "Do This Like a Lady". I sang that my whole life till I saw the real title on this website.

at the time when TLC's "waterfalls" was popular, my brother was 5 years old. the line that goes "don't go chasing waterfalls", he thought it was "Go, GO, Power Rangers!

I thought the Til Tuesday song said "Books are scary!", rather than "Voices Carry"

I used to think that the John Cougar Mellencamp song "Authority" said "I fight Jodie and Jodie always wins" when it really says "I fight Authority and Authority always wins"... it made more sense with Jodie... she was very scary to me when I was growing up.

I saw on the misheard lyrics pages a few weeks ago someone who submitted their versions of some shakin steven's songs and thought they were really funny, so I thought I'd send you some of mine because as a kid I used to think he was awful and my brother hated him, so here goes,

1)'I'll be Crucified' -actual song 'I'll be satisfied'
2) Because I bug you -real title 'Because I love you
3)'what do you wanna make those pies for me for'-what do you want to make those eyes at me for'
4)'Say ta ra ta ra'-Que sera sera
5)'Turning gay' -Turning away
6) 'Dipstick,elvis you aint'-lipstick, powder & paint
7) 'got lumpy graaavy' -you drive me crazy
8)'I need a wee' -'Marie marie

yes, we really did used to sing these lyrics instead of the proper ones, ours are better and much funnier we think.
