Getting song words ar*eways

Ann22

Anyone out there ever do that? A few examples of my silly misinterpretations are as follows;

Neil Diamond's 'Forever in blue jeans'..... I was singing 'for Reverend Blue Jeans'. I thought it was about some kind of cool priest.
The Police's 'Material world' where they sing '...are spirits in a material world', I thought was 'upstairs in a material world'.
Snoop Dogg and Justin Timberlake's 'Signs' where Snoop sings 'You ain't no G'....I was merrily singing 'you better go change':D
George Michael's 'Fast Love' when he says 'if that's love in your eyes' I was wailing 'fast love in your eyes'.
'Champagne Super Nova' was misterpreted by my friend as 'Champagne's takin' over'.
I sincerly hope there are others out there to add to this thread or I'll look like a total tit.:D

Always thought it was "I would do anything for love but I won't do scat!". Man, was my face red when I sang that song at Karaoke.

You are not alone - I used to pelt out words that made no sense or reference in song - "how was I" for how bizzare - all can think of at moment. Ive giving up singning

PurpleBerry

I always thought the words were:
"Billly Jean is not my brother"

In 'Billie Jean' when he says 'but the kid is not my son', I thought was 'but there's a chance that that's my son'-changes the whole meaning of the song. In 'Beat it', he says 'no one wants to be defeated'. Up 'til recently I thought it was 'No one wants to beat it beat it' and in 'the way you make me feel' he says 'you really turn me on', I thought was 'you really turn me good'.:o

I used to think that the lyrics to TLC's ''Chasing Waterfalls'' were ''Don't go, Jason Waterfalls....", that they were asking this Jason bloke not to leave them! :pac:

Sharpshooter

Hated my teacher for this one.

l am 6 and she tells me to sing Jingle Bells to the class.

Unknown to the other kids she had heard me singing it to myself in the run up to Christmas.

So l get up and sing.

Jingle Bells Jingle Bells , Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride on a one horse soap and sleigh.

:DYou'd get a fair old slide there sharpshooter. My son thought ACDC were singing 'SUNDAY!!' instead of 'THUNDER!!' in the intro to 'Thunderstruck'.

Remember seeing this years ago:

http://www.kissthisguy.com/

It's an archive of commonly misheard lyrics.

dreamer_ire

My friends one was "Climb every woman" for "I'm every woman"... I think it's one of the best I've ever heard!

Acacia

I've just remembered another one- the Beegee's 'Stayin' Alive'. I used the chorus was "Stabilize! Stabilize!" I used to wonder what the fup they were on about.:pac:

kelle

I always remember "Falco" an Austrian singer from 1986. I coudn't make head nor tail of his lyrics - in "Rock me Amadeus" there was a line which sounded like "Shooting common bubbles she's a mongrel c*nt" (at 1:14 here)and in "Vienna Calling" one that sounded like "I need to sh*t tonight" (at 2:07 here). It was some time later it was pointed out to me his lyrics were in German - no wonder!

Raiser

Please don't mock me but I always thought that Ronnie K was singing:

Youshay it besht whin hugh shay nuttin a-tall.

- That head cold has gone on for well over a decade

actual: I got my first real six-string

So it isn't just me then! I used think that too, until I said it to a friend one day...

Another one was that song by U2

actual: electrical storm

heard: electric toaster

It was only last week that I realised that the lyrics to Keane's song were 'Oh Crystal Ball, Crystal Ball' and not 'Oh Chris De Burgh, Chris De Burgh'.

I used to think that the phrase "Universally Speaking" wasn't in the RHCP song of the same name. I did think that he said "Universe, a lispy king" at some stage. When questioned by my wife, I told her as much. Oh how she laughed.

ILoveSpuds

Haha- just read this one- "might as well face it you're addicted to love" was heard as "might as well face it you're a di*k with a glove"

He thought it was about Mickey J!!! Priceless!

AoifeN

In Scar Tissue by Red Hot Chili Peppers, for "with the birds I'll share this lonely view", I always hear "We built a shed, so long live you".

That he had it at the five and dime didn't sound odd?

I always heard it as "with birds of shed its a long live you"...which doesn't make sense at all...

'Low lie the hills of Donegal'

My gf got those two mixed up on holiday recently. Funny stuff :P

Kings of leon are a fecker for this due to Calebs strong Southern accent.

We were listening to Milk one night and we thought he was saying either:

Salty beef
Salt n cheese
soul delete

Ross_Mahon

I used to sing songs wrong for years and then karaoke told me i was wrong

Mark200

Countless times have I stood up with my friends for a song we all like, and three lines into the song realising I never knew the words!

Oh the embarrasment

What an evil bitch cant believe a teacher would do this.

my ex boyfriend had a weird one. In Tori Amos's song Professional Widow, the line is "Honey bring it close to my lips yes"

He thought it was "I wanna bring you toast tonight"....which leaves out the "lips yes" bit, but this never occurred to him, he just heard toast being offered, bless

Tut tut. This you have stolen from the King Of Queens, word for word.

KnifeWRENCH

First time I heard "I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker" by Sandi Thom, I thought she was singing "I Wish I Was A Prawn Cracker."

Also, the first line of Been A Son by Nirvana is "She should have stayed away from friends." I always hear it was "She should have stayed away from France."

Rhyme

Maroon 5 This Love

"This Love has taken it's toll on me"

changes to...

"This Love has taken Listowel on me"

Ridiculous.

ejmaztec

I misheard a song and thought the words were:

"I'm gonna kill ya, ya bad-ass motherfucker, cause you tuk ma ho!"

Imagine my surprise when I found out that the words were in reality:

"All things bright and beautiful"

I don't know how that choir put up with me, I really don't. :eek:

Wha??!!! I seriously swear to God I didn't! I was very young when I used to hear that song a lot. Who are King of Queens?

badgerbadger

In one of the songs used in a bulmers ad I thought one of the lines was

that journey you call me a queef

but it's actually

That journey-a call me quick

Ann22

My son just told me 'King of Queens' is a sitcom-duh! The name was familiar alright but I thought there that it might be a poster on another forum you were on about Charlie.I don't watch it. It really does sound like Neil D says that so it's not surprising that someone else thought the same.

Me too!!!!

Also, Talking Heads song "Watching the days go by on the watercress hill" apparently has something to do with water flowing underground

Another gem of mine Sean Kingston's song "Beautiful Girls" I thought he said he was "so excito" and I thought- THAT'S NOT EVEN A WORD!!! "Suicidal" is though...

"What I got you gotta get and put it in you" ?

I heard

"What I'd like is I'd like to hug and kiss you."

There was a conversation about this on some radio station about 6 months ago, and alot of people thought that the chorus of "I'm Blue" by Eiffel 99 or whatevertheircalled, was "I'm gay and I'm in need of a guy". Apparently its just Omni o ba di oba die.

I always thought it was "I'm blue, if I was green I would die"

My friend thinks it's 'I'm blue I'm in need of red dye'.

Also my boyfriend thinks in Britney Spears 'Piece of me' where she says 'I'm mrs extra extra this just in' it's 'I'm mrs extra textralicous skin'.

That reminds me, one of the polish lads at work thought she was saying "Do you want to piss on me". Got a good laugh out of that one.

This thread is hilarious! One of my friends thought that that Michael Jackson/Rockwell song 'Somebody's Watching Me' where it goes "I always feel like sombody's watching me" was "I'm on a speedboat, somebody's watching me!"
My brother thought that it was "I love rock and roll so put another dime in the juke box baby" was "I love rock and roll so put another dime in the shoebox baby"...My one is just far too embarrassing
