What did they sing - misheard lyrics

Plissken1 · 18-05-2007 03:08PM

Crappy 80's rock band Heart had a song called 'Alone'

song lyrics = How do I get you alone

sounds like = How do I get to Athlone

In 'The Fly', U2 - instead of 'every artist is a cannibal' I thought it sounded suspiciously like 'hairy arse is a cannonball'

Can anyone help me out? That new Spar advert ("Change a limp sandwich into a.....") has got most annoying, poxy song and I can't understand a single solitary fukin' word that is sung! It's wreckin my head but it's making me go even madder by not being able to understand the lyrics, so far I've only managed to conceive this out of it: "Denny stays on yer trumpet or........" and I'm sure as hell that couldn't be right. Bah!!

mariah carey and boys to men- one sweet day

Theres a line in it that sang- "I took your prescence for granted"- I thought it was "I took your breasts for granted":D

You know the add for erin soup?

I am convinced that at some stage they say "come in her hair"

Katykaboom · 18-05-2007 06:07PM

My friend thought the words to "I predict a riot" was " I have the tourettes " and my cousin thought the words were " I can reach the rice" .

Love is all around me..
"On my love you can depend" I honestly thought was "All my Love my Ugandan friend" I was baffled as to why the song referenced Uganda..

any of you who happen to have access to Bob Dylans 'Changing of The Guards', can you just fast forward to around 2:05 seconds into it...

it sounds, for all the world, like he sings

"She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo/And Mr Gerry Ryan"

Yeah, apparently it's "A messenger arrived with a black nightingale"
I always sing it as "They messed with Gerry Ryan and the black nightingale"

They were great in the 70s though.

Another misheard lyric:
Moloko - The Time Is Now

"Give up yourself unto the moment" (I think is the real one)
"Give up your sandwich in the morning"

Dexy's Midnight Runners-Come on Eileen,
Me & my brother always sang 'Come on Ollie'!

And,

LMC Vs U2
Real lyricsis 'Take me to the clouds above',
I thought it was 'Take me to the parking lot'!

For all your misheard lyrics needs

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Can't Stop

The real lyrics were:
Can't stop the spirits when they need you

But I misheard them as:
Can't stop the ferrets when they need food

Chumbawamba: Tubthumping

The real lyrics were:
I get knocked down, but I get up again.
You're never gonna keep me down.

But I misheard them as:
I got no thumb, but it grew back again.
You're never gonna keep me down.

Bee Gees, how deep is your love?

"and you come to me on a submarine".

Dudess · 22-05-2007 03:04PM

Morrissey - Every Day Is Like Sunday

I (aged 10) thought he was singing "every day he tried to sunbathe".

Bless...

Cat Steven's "Oh very young"

The line is "you're only dancing on this earth for a short while" -

to this day, I hear "you're only dancing on dessert for a short while"...

Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"...

Actual line: "Did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a play"
Heard: "Did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a negro in a cage"

its:
Did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage

hallelujah · 22-05-2007 04:56PM

Real: Thats me in the corner. Thats me in the spotlight, loosing my religion.
My interpretation: Thats me in the corner. Thats me in the spa, lying, loosing my religion.
