Misheard song lyrics

midlandsmissus · 13-02-2009 1:07pm #1

I was just reading about some of the best misinterpretations of song lyrics, and there are some crackers.

Here's one:

The song goes "Might aswell face it, you're addicted to love"

This lad thought it was... "Might aswell face it, you're a d*ck with a glove"

Ever heard the lyrics wrong on a song?

Hold me closer Tony Danza.

Whenever Pighead hears that song by Katy Perry that goes "I kissed a girl and I liked it" he hears "I kissed a girl and it got me in the mood for divilment but divilment is more fun with three people and a todger involved so I invited Pighead along too and we all liked it"

MT2 · 13-02-2009 1:19pm

I thought that new song with the chorus being 'I'm a singlette' was in fact
'I'm a cigarette'... Just didn't get it...

buckieburd · 13-02-2009 1:24pm

That Keane song Crystal Ball I thought for ages they were sing 'Oh Chris de Burgh, Chris De Burgh'

It always freaks me out when people refer to themselves in the third person. Why pighead, why?

There's the old Hendrix one: "excuse me while I kiss the sky" misheard as "excuse me while I kiss this guy"

jim o doom · 13-02-2009 1:29pm

Mine was from "at dawn they sleep" by Slayer & was a misconception I held for so long that I prefer my brains version; correct lyric "They drink blood, At dawn they sleep" & my version (not too far off) "they drink your blood & then they go to sleep" (not very evil sounding is it haha) - I know there are a good few others, but that's all for now..

It freaks Pighead out that they continue to give internet access to the backward mud dwellers of the midlands. Why God why?

I'm certain this thread has been done before, with the same song referenced in the OP.

the queen song. Bohemian rhapsody. Dont know with the real version is but everyone laughs at me when i sing "for the devil did a $hit on me, on me" etc

There's a word for this, its called a mondegreen. Mondegreen is the misinterpretation of a song lyric. Just thought i should let you know

Actual lyrics are...Master!
Apprentice!
Heartborne, 7th Seeker
Warrior!
Disciple!
In me the Wishmaster

Elbereth
Lorien

A dreamy-eyed child staring into night
On a journey to storyteller`s mind
Whispers a wish speaks with the stars the words are silent in him
Distant sigh from a lonely heart
"I`ll be with you soon, my Shalafi"
Grey Havens my destiny

Master!...

Silvara
Starbreeze

Sla-Mori the one known only by Him
To august realms, the sorcery within
If you hear the call of arcane lore,
Your world shall rest on Earth no more
A maiden elf calling with her cunning song
"Meet me at the Inn of Last Home"
Heartborne will find the way!

Master!...

Wishmaster
Crusade for Your will
A child, dreamfinder
The Apprentice becoming...

Master!...
:pac:

Remember that ¨Brim full of asha on the 45¨ song i always thought it was ¨A grill full of rashers on the 45¨...... I was always wondering why someone would be cooking on a bus.

I think I might have posted this before in a similar thread, and if so apologies, but the variation I remember is that of the Labour Movement song "The Red Flag" that I recall from my days as an apprentice in a Glasgow shipyard: "The working class can kiss my a**e, I got the chargehands job at last"

Bring it on Pighead, I like a feisty man! I managed to drag my brother JohnJoe out of the fields to hook me up to dial-up. However it didn't work as we have no electricity in the house either, so this entire post is a figment of your imagination.

I forgot about that one, I thought it was rashers aswell

Theres another bit in that song that goes 'everyone needs a bosom for a pillow'

I thought it was 'Everyone needs a bosom on his woman'

Three year old heard the re-release of Party All The Time and took it up kinda wrong. "My girl's on the potty all the time, potty all the time, potty all the tiiime!"

Mine is Billy Jean. I always thought MJ was singing "Billy Jean is not my brother" And I didn't even think it strange that the next line was "She's just a girl who..."

Nerd alert: The official name for a misheard lyric is a mondegreen.

All in all it's just another pri.ck in the Dail..

Factoid Alert:The official name for somebody who knows the meaning of mondegreen is nerdlinger.

Anyway back on topic. When Pighead first heard the mighty Suede tune Can't Get Enough (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeLXcV6vc_Q) he thought Brett was singing " I, I can't get it up". I used to shout out to the radio "Pighead hears ya Brett, hell ya" Then everybody in the room would point and laugh.

Your last post was a figment of Pighead's imagination. Pighead is trying to control the voices in his head and that includes trying not to respond to them when they mock and taunt him and call him smellyhead. It's going very well today so far. Apart from this post.

Marilyn Manson, The beautiful people; when he 'sings' the line 'If you live with apes, man, it's hard to be clean' it REEEEEEEEALLY sounds like 'Your lemonade's made a part of me bleed'.

It does to me anyhoo...

We need a Pighead gathering card. Something to the effect of "Stop asking newb questions and do a search. Pighead always talks in the third person and kindly don't point out when he occassionally trips up, it's been done."

As for this song lyrics, I have to force myself to listen to the lyrics so I pretty much always hear them correctly. If I dont really concentrate, well they just become part of the melody and it's just like another instrument to me.
