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

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.

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

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.

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

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."

Maroon 5 This Love

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

changes to...

"This Love has taken Listowel on me"

Ridiculous.

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 · 18-10-2008 06:50PM

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 · 18-10-2008 07:04PM

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.

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.

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."

Aodan83 · 18-10-2008 11:10PM

maybe hes going to actually throw acid on them....

syklops · 18-10-2008 11:34PM

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.

Pyr0 · 19-10-2008 12:18AM

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.

JC06 · 19-10-2008 12:43AM

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

Atomic Kittens - 'You can make me whole again' - was always 'you can kiss my hole again'

I thought teen sprit was "here we are now mash potato" instead of "here we are now entertain us".

EamonnKeane · 19-10-2008 11:52PM

The word is "mondegreen" from a misheard poem: "They hath slain the Earl o' Murray / And laid him on the green" which a journalist thought was "...And Lady Mondegreen".

The Beatles song "Real Love" begins "All my little plans and schemes/Lost like some forgotten dream". The audio quality is so low I thought he was saying "All my little pandas asleep". This was so nice that I didn't want to know the real line.

Two pearl jam songs here, apparantly I have issues with Eddie's accent..

In 'black', I thought "My bitter hands cradle broken glass" was "my better half plays in broken glass". And in "Jeremy", I thought "gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast" was "nasty stephen bit the recess lady's breast". Oh that Stephen, you just can't be up to his antics.

My mother thought the counting crows' big yellow taxi cover sang "a gay paradise, put up a parking lot".
