Misheard song lyrics

fussyonion

Just listening to that Florence and the Machine song "Ship to Wreck" and I thought she was singing "....did I build this ship too red?".

I used to always think "Rhinestone Cowboy" went: "..like a nine-stone cowboy".
And the song "Forever in Bluejeans" went "...for Reverend Bluejeans yeah."

And Shania Twain's "That Don't Impress Me Much", I used to think it went "...and all that natural-hold gel in your hair oughta lock it" when it was "extra hold".

Anyway, what lyrics did you mishear?

I was the same in "Forever in blue jeans" ! "Money Talks" wasn't it?

I remember Billy Connelly saying he used to think there was a teddy bear in heaven called Gladly, because ever time he went to church, his parents would sing "Gladly the cross I'd bare"

The song below, I always thought the chorus line was "We all got disbarred tonight".

It really sounds like disbarred, in my defence :pac:

Bizarrely, I was only thinking about this the other day.

"And there's no such thing as 25 to life as long as you've got the cash to pay for Cochran" - but it sounds like "And there's no such thing as 25 to life as long as you've got the cash to pay for cock rings".

I always thought the Prince song was 'She wore her rags, very good rags, the kind you'd find in a second hand store' (raspberry beret)

Taylor swift - Gotta love those Starbucks lovers. Thought it was a new name for hipster type boyfriends.

And brown eyed girl, I always thought the song started 'hey Rodrigo!' Often wondered who he was.

My daughter used to sing "she's got a monkey, that's why I love her" - Ne -yo Miss Independent. She also insisted the Big Yellow Taxi song was " they paved paradise and put up a f**kin lot".
When I was small I used to sing "the hippy on the window pane " for "the Indiana wind and rain" in David Soul's Silver Lady. More recently I thought The Script were saying you won't find faith and hope down the tennis court

My cousin heard 'Disturbia' as 'Stir it up' and was on the dancefloor carrying on like he was stirring a massive pot.

Don't go, jason waterfalls.

Also, sia has the worst diction ever. There's always at least one line in her songs I don't understand.

Wacker The Attacker

Until recently I thought the chorus to Moloko's The Time is Now was "You won't be safe until the morning", instead of "Give up yourself unto the moment".

Also U2's City of Blinding Nights apparently does NOT contain the lines
"Can yousee the beauty in sodomy?
What happened to the beauty I had in sodomy?"

(It's "inside of me". Much less interesting!)

I thought she was saying "he's got his trampolines".

I thought it was "Scent of a Woman", like the name of the Al Pacino film.

To Elland Back

Not a song as such but back in the day, there was an ad on telly where the jingle went. 'Let The Big O Flow, Club Orange'

For ages, I thought the jingle went 'Let the B.O. Flow, Club Orange'

That Imelda May classic, "My Big Fat Handsome Man." And here was me thinking she was being progressive... and that I had a chance....

My own Freed From Desire mishearing was "My lover's got no money, he's got his humble niece." I knew that couldn't be right, but this was pre-internet....

In fairness, your version makes (a little) more sense.


You know, I just looked up the lyrics for Freed From Desire given how often it was popping up.

So its not "he's got his dungarees" after all O.O
