    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?

    "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!

    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.

    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.:confused:

    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

    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:

    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!"

    Enya - "save a whale" , Zig and Zaz did a sketch about it back in the day

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    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:

    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"

    Didn't think it was possible but I accidentally made 'whistle' more obscene. I thought stroke your little ego was stroke your little pee hole :o

    here's a good one

    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!
