Misheard song lyrics

Chemical Burn

Sorry if this has been done before, but I think a thread on misheard song lyrics would be nice. I'll start:

That song by Alicia Keys: I honestly though the song went "Concrete Jungle wet dreams are made of", in hindsight, who the **** would put that into a song :P

The song "Brim Full Of Asha": I honestly thought it was "Brim full of rashers".

What are your misheard lyrics?

That Outkast song "Hey Ya"

I thought it was "Hay ya"

Morto.

fasttalkerchat

"And Tommy Woods aged 17 died in Chernobyl."
"And the leader was a leprechaun; Sean South of Garryowen"

Celtic matches are great for some crackers!

Senna

The Limp Bizkit song that say "hate is all the world has ever seen lately" I could have sworn was "hate is all the world has Stephen Gatley", I may have been stoned at the time.

Hurt by Johnny Cash/Nine Inch Nails

"What have I become, my Swedish friend"

Corvo

" We found love in a homeless place "

Haven't we all Rhianna, haven't we all...

Foo Fighters, all my life

Does anyone actually know the real words to this song? Have seen different variations of misheard lines but I still have no idea what the actual words are!

For the older ones among us. Not a song as such, but I always thought the tag line in ad for Club Orange was "Let the B.O. flow". I only found out later it was "Let the Big O flow"

Made more sense when it was explained

That's not from Sean south though.

It's from 'viva la quinta brigada', one of Christie Moore's finest.

Tommy Woods age seventeen died in Cordoba
With Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun
From Dublin to the Villa del Rio
Where he fought and died beneath the blazing sun

"There's a hard egg followin' me"

In a surprisingly candid display of right wing xenophobia, I never thought the Foo Fighters would so openly make the statement:
"What if I said I don't like the Arabs"
in the chorus to The Pretender :eek:

Can't let a thread like this go by without mentioning The Reverend Blue Jeans. :pac:

A Brad Maddox Guy

Bressie. Because the weight of your love is "breaking my balls breaking my balls"

Just remembered Atomic Kitten's invitation to give them all a severe back door pounding with "You can break my hole again" and of course who can forget the Spice Girls epic call for psychotic violence on a global scale when demanding "people of the world... slice up your wife! Every boy every girl... slice up your wife!"

As if my preteen mind wasn't confused enough, whenever Huey Lewis's Power of Love came on, I always heard the following lyrics when:

"Tougher than diamonds pricks like cream. Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream."

Listen for yourself from the 40 sec mark:

Jacks Smirking Revenge

"Don't go in the air"
"Dolphins in the air"
"Goku in the air"
"Coke is in the air"
"Come into the air"
"Dog goes in the air"

My son used to sing "Crazy like a shoe" for Fat Boy Slim's "praise you like I should" but he was only 4 or 5 so it was acceptable.

A friend of a friend used to think that "I always feel like somebody's watching me" was "I'm on a speedboat, somebody's watching me"

From mid 70's The sutherland brothers i think it is and The Arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who thought me all i had to know
she put me right on my first mistake,
Summer wasn't gone when i learned all she had to show
she really gave all a boy could take

thought it was

she really gave all the boys a taste!

When I was younger, I thought that was "praise you like a shrew". It confused me as to why shrews were worth praising, so I justified my thinking by believing he was being a sarcastic fúcker when singing the line. :P

Also my little sister thought the Vengaboys' classic hit "Ibiza" had a chorus of, "WHOA! We're going to eat pizza!"

And anything by Shaggy is just gfhviernfvjnrtjvn with an occasional word thrown in.

Those are two different misheard lyrics. Notice the leprechaun part!

errlloyd

Not quite the same, but I never associated the recent Nelly song "hey porsche" with a car. So I thought that line that goes (something like) "no one tells me when I can turn you on" was really rapey.

When I was younger I used to think the chorus in

Prefab Sprouts song King of Rock and Roll was Hot dog jump in fire I'll walk again, not Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque

also

Madness Our house in the middle of the street chorus was Our house in the middle of ostrich, not Our house, in the middle of our street

Not mine but I've heard of people thinking The Saw Doctorts "To Win Just Once" was "Two Injured Swans"...

I did the "praise you like a shoe" thing.

I though the chorus in Meat Loaf's "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth" was "you took the words right out of my mouth, it must have been when you weren't listening t'me"... It is "you took the words right out of my mouth, it must have been while you were kissing me".
