Mistaken lyrics

Everyone does it - you sing a song along to the radio - and then years later someone tells you that, in fact, "Might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove," are not really the right words to the Robert Palmer song.

So what lyrics did you f*ck up for years without ever knowing you were doing so?

Favoutie one I've heard about is Bryan Adams "Summer of 69"

Had my first real six string became "Had my first real sex dream (played it 'til my fingers bled...)"

I thought Madonna was being a bit non-PC when she sang 'Last night I dreamt of some dago' in "La Isla Bonita"!

"The way she brushed her hair and farted"

My Dad used to always prefer those lyrics!

My house mate used to think that "Shes got Bette Davis eyes" actually went "shes got better days aside".

She got some slagging over that one!

When i saw the thread title before clicking on it, the first thing that came to mind was - "might as well face it, you're a dickhead in love".

Spooky shít.

Possibly the most famous one when people may have thought Jimi Hendrix was a little gay.

'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy.

Real Lyric 'Scuse me, while I kiss the sky from Purple Haze.

There's an archive of misheard lyrics named after it :

Another one which reminds me of that is "I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand" (Disorder by Joy Division) - I think nearly everyone mishears "guide" as "guy" which sounds strange as the late Ian Curtis probably wouldn't have sung about that kinda malarkey. He was a bit uber blokey it appears...

Big Yellow Taxi? "Put up a parking lot". Originally by Joni Mitchell I think.

This one is brilliant:

I used to think the chorus to "Blinded By The Light" by Manfred Mann was ....

"Blinded by the light . . . wrapped up like a douche" (instead of "reved up like a deuce").

I mean, who the hell wraps up a douche? "Her honey, I got you something for Christmas that I not only think you like, but you could also really do with."

it is douche.. 'wrapped up like a douche, another odor in the night'

Brilliant.... "See you next weekend babe. I love ya loads and, ehm, I'll just take a few sausages with me to have on the train" !!!

Still don't know the name of this song but it's on the radio periodically - perhaps by the Counting Crows maybe.... I think it goes like this:

Male Voice "Put up a fcuk and lie!"
Female voices: "fcuk fcuk fcuk!"

I know it can't be that because it'd be censored but it really sounds like he's saying "fcuk!"

Anyone to give me the proper lyrics gets thanked!

My girlfriend always thought that Verve song was called "The Trucks Don't Work."

Isn't there a Pavarotti song where he seemingly sings:

Finger! Finger! Finger! Finger! Finger! Finger! Finger! Finger! Finger!

The Doors 'LA woman'

opening line

'we'll I did a little woman an hour ago'

actually

'we'll I just got into town an hour ago'

????

Paul Young singing '' everytime you go away , you take a piece of meat with you ''

(more like meat instead of me)

Jonny Nash singing '' I can see clearly now the rain has gone ''

( replace the rain with Lorraine )

I used to think the lyrics to that song by The Black Eyed Peas were: "Where is the love?"

Which is frankly ridiculous when it's quite obvious that the lyrics are "Wear Us The Lourve".

Boy do I feel embarrassed.

anyone know 'blinded by the light' by manfred manns earth band... well that songs says 'wrapped up like a DOUCHE' \0/

there was a dance song out in the 90's with the line 'he's gotta be quick' but it sounded like 'he's got a big dick'

Oh yeah a dance mix of Tori Amos's Professional Widow.

"Call me, for a liiiiiiime, you can call me any day or night, call me"

In keeping with the Smiths theme: I was 10 when Morrissey released Everyday Is Like Sunday, and I thought he was singing Everyday He Tried To Sunbathe.

Well the lyrics do mention a seaside town...

I used to think that song "suicide blonde" by inxs was " slip inside the bomb "

Check it out... there's a word for this... they're mondegreens...
