The Hilariously Misheard Lyrics Thread

[St. Jarvitude]

My first run-through of The BEATLES (White Album), when it got to "Happiness is a Warm Gun" I could swear the closing chorus went:

My penis is a warm gun

TMI, John! I said. Until I saw the track title and read the lyrics. Oops.

[tuvor]

1. Enrique Iglesias "Bailamos"

I thought the chorus went "let the rhythm take you over by the balls."

[aQuArius]

4. Frankie Valli's "My Eyes Adored You"

For years I thought he was singing about a Czech cutie....Myza Dorja.

[tilsammans]

19. or "My Eyes of Georgia"

(that's what my friend thought!)

[GCP]

5. "And You Come to me on a submarine" by the BeeGees

Real lyrics - you come to me on a summer breeze (How Deep is your Love)

[GCP]

6. There's always the classic "'scuse me while I kiss this guy" !

:D

[bobweaver]

28. That's not what it is?

[antigone382]

7. OK, I swear, in Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply"

There's this part during the bridge, where he's supposed to be singing nonsense words, but it sounds like he's singing "Laying on the toilet, toilet, yeah!"

[Lindsey]

8. Credence Clearwater Revival....

"Hey there's a bathroom on the right." I swear...for years... (what can I say, I was a kid back then).

[antigone382]

12. TLC "Don't go Jason Waterfalls"

OK, it wasn't me that heard it like that, it was a kid I know. She swore that the song was about a mom telling her son Jason not to go somewhere....

[Champ]

17. LOL

[keischin]

29. Hey me too??

why is that?

[madison2000]

37. Thats what I thought the line was, seriously

what is it?!

[njdemocrat106]

9. Blinded by the light...

wrapped up like a douche, you know the ruler of the night!

Doesn't everyone have their own interpretation of Manfred Mann's (actually Bruce Springsteen's) "Blinded by the Light"?

[DemoTex]

10. The Count Basie Band singing "Salt Peanuts, salt peanuts."

My big swing band in the 60s, the Auburn Knights, pushed it to the obvious: "Soft penis, soft penis." We did that all over the south and nobody ever caught on. The tune was called "Just Count." One of the great Basie tunes.

[laheina]

11. Everclear's "Santa Monica"

I know (now) that the line is "I just wanna see some palm trees" but I caught myself today, again, singing "I just wanna do some laundry."

Shah! Like a guy is ever going to say *that*. :P

[Goathead]

13. "Roxanne" heard as "Rock sand"

When that song first came out

[vixengrl]

14. My dad always made up lyrics while singing to the car radio.

To this day, when I hear the Platters song, it goes,

"They asked me how I knew
raccoon crap was blue.
Oooh oooh, I of course replied
If your feet should slide
your socks will get dyed."

But I can't say that was a case of *mishearing* anything.

[FizzFuzz]

16. I think I love your Dad!

My Dad sang this lullabye:

Ohh brush your teeth with cat food.
Be-CAUSE it tastes so yummy.
And all the cats will love you.
They'll lick you up and down!

My Dad was very silly. :hug:, Dad. :atearandasmile:

[tuvor]

35. My dad did the same thing with the same song!

They asked me how I knew
One and one was two...

I miss him.

[brentspeak]

15. Cyndi Lauper: "A bunghole! In the middle of the night!"

It's supposed to be "A PHONE CALL, in the middle of the night!"

[TexasLady]

18. anything from Nirvana

i really need to look up those lyrics, because I still dont know them.

[lenidog]

20. Misheard lyrics times three

I got CD for my niece once called "Mad About the Mouse." It was famous musicians and singers doing Disney songs. I decided to listen to it before I gave it to her. One of the tracks was the "Bear Necessities" from the "Jungle Book" and it was being done by Harry Connick Jr. There is this line that goes "The bees are buzzing in the trees making honey for me." Maybe it was the Guiness we were consuming but all three of us hear it as the "Bees are buzzing in the trees making bourbon for me." We replayed it twice more and each time we heard the same line finally on the fourth try to make sure we weren't crazy it came out right.

[lenidog]

21. We must not forget to pay tribute to the

"Louie, Louie" by the Kingsmen (?) The song to which no one has yet figured out what they are saying and the only song which had both the FCC and the FBI investigating the lyrics.

[MercutioATC]

23. Actually, here are the real lyrics to "Louie, Louie"...

Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go.
Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go.

A fine little girl, she waits for me.
Me catch the ship across the sea.
I sailed the ship all alone.
I never think I'll make it home.

Louie Louie, me gotta go.

Three nights and days we sailed the sea.
Me think of girl constantly.
On the ship, I dream she there.
I smell the rose in her hair.

Louie Louie, me gotta go.

Me see Jamaican moon above.
It won't be long me see me love.
Me take her in my arms and then
I tell her I never leave again.

Louie Louie, oh baby, I said we gotta go

[lenidog]

24. If I recall

the original was a old Jamaican folk song.

[seaglass]

22. Raspberry Beret - Prince sounded just like

red varicose veins. Made sense too.

[UTUSN]

25. "You Are My VENUS" (sounds like? You Are My ?????????" n/t

[Ron Green]

26. What about the oldest one of all (from church, of all places):

"Gladly, the Cross-Eyed Bear"

[RevCheesehead]

33. I prefer "Lead On, oh Kinky Turtle"

[steely]

27. John Denver - Rocky Mountain High

When I was a kid, I thought the chorus went like...

Rocky Mountain High - Follow Rocco (sb Colorado)

I didn't have enough interest to listen to the whole song to find out who Rocco was. I thought it was a nod to the beatles Rocky Raccoon. I mean come'on, they got raccoons in mountains, don't they??

n/t Once while merrily singing/mangling some song w/in earshot of some friend, he asked, "what'd they do, change the words again?"

I thought that question showed a lot of compassion.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

30. Christmas edition:

"with angelic hosts proclaim" sounded like "with a jelly cocoa flame" when I was a little kid.

[EstimatedProphet]

31. Billy Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the chair is not my son

[Cadence]

32. Return of the Mack by

Mark Morrison.

Instead of.. return of the mack....I would sing ..turn up the mic

[Dirk39]

34. I'm not a native speaker. Forgive me....

Lou Reed (Blue Mask):
"I really have a lucky life
I'm riding my motorcycle and my wife"

The original was somehting like:
I really have a lucky live,
my writing, my motorcycle and my wife.

So Freudian in Germany,
Dirk

[davsand]

36. "Who gets excited about herding sheep?"

My Mom blinked when I asked that question.

She asked WHY did I ask a question like that.

"Well, they sing about it in church: Bringing in the Sheep, Bringing in the sheep. We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheep..."

38. The song "why can't we be friends" by WAR

I thought they were singing "I get real depressed"...:cry:

[skygazer]

39. When I was a kid, I though "Bringing In The Sheaves"

Was "Bringing In The Sheets." I still sing it when I do laundry.

[madison2000]
