18. Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - Elton John

Don't let the sun go down on me

Weezer "Buddy Holly"

B.G. Lyrics...
"What's with these homies dissing my girl?
Why do they gotta front?
What did we ever do to these guys,
That they are so belligerent?"


Weezer (actual) lyrics
"What's with these homies dissing my girl?
Why do they gotta front?
What did we ever do to these guys,
That they are so violent?"

Funny difference...to us at least.

[Shopaholic]

21. Funniest website ever on misheard lyrics

I always go here when I'm depressed--it makes me laugh out loud.

http://www.kissthisguy.com/

[BurtWorm]

24. I don't why, but I usually end up laughing uncontrollably over these!

I don't laugh out loud at very much, but these misheard lyrics really get me for some reason.

My own personal one:

from Joy Division's "Shadowplay":

Real version: "In a room with a window in the corner, I found truth."

Miheard as: "In a room with a window and a toilet, I found truth."

[AspenRose]

42. Oh, my gosh....this Elton John one from that website

Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting

The real lyrics were:
Don't Give us none of you aggravation,
We had it with your discipline
Saturday nights alright for fighting
Get a little action in

But they were misheard as:
Don't give us none of you agriculture,
we had it with your death star plan
saturday night's alright for fighting
get a lid of action in


Just about any Elton John song will have misheard lyrics in them

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

23. NATIONWIDE misheard lyrics

"Can't Go For That" by Hall & Oates.

It sounds EXACTLY like "Tentou Fuder" ("tried to fuck" in Portuguese)!!! Needless to say, the Brazilian public got a major kick out of this. The radio DJs at the time (1981) used to tongue-in-cheekly introduce this song as "The Attempt Song". I kid you not!

[Beware the Beast Man]

25. "No duck's orgasm in the classrom"

Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

26. Real, actual, honest-to-god LOL!!!

Was that a teacher admonishing arwalden?

[Beware the Beast Man]

27. The mental image of a duck

Reaching climax is too much for me!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

33. The duck's reaction to such unfair restriction:

[CanuckAmok]

37. Oh, that's fowl!

n/t

[OKNancy]

29. From my past - not a famous one

This story is one my sisters and I love to bring up.

My mother was doing housework and singing. We girls started giggling and asked her what she was singing...Her lyrics were.."very ordinary...and again "very ordinary" she was singing to the tune of Ferry 'cross the Mersey. Some of you young ones probably wouldn't know that song.

[BurtWorm]

32. I used to think the words were "Mary, mistress Mary."

I was shocked to learn the real words many years later.

[Misunderestimator]

31. Give me the Beach Boys and Free My Soul, I Wanna Get Lost

In your Rock and Roll and drift away....

(I was young)

[jpgray]

34. Blinded by the light... wrapped up like a douche

It's DEUCE! Too few now the truth of that lyric. Who the hell is that by anyway, Manfred Mann?

[tsakshaug]

35. Manfred mann covered

a Bruce Springsteen song,
still difficult to understand

[CanuckAmok]

36. TWO Springsteen songs...even more baffling!

"Blinded by the Light" and "I Came for You".

[geniph]

40. I think Blinded by the Light

wins the award for most misheard (and thoroughly incomprehensible) lyrics in popular music. "And little early burly gave my anus curly-whirly and asked me if I needed a ride."

Um. Okay, then.

[AlCzervik]

38. Thats it was my destiny

to be the King of Spain. instead of king of pain.

[ScreamingMeemie]

39. "Big Old Jet had a Light on". I only recently was acquainted with the

real words. ;)

[Donkeyboy75]

41. My wife's : "Hey there, Rodrigo"

Instead of "Hey where did we go" at the beginning of Van Morrison's "Brown-Eyed Girl"

[soleft]

43. I blow bubbles when you are not near

Macie Gray's "I try"

The lyric is "My world crumbles when you not near"
