Lyrics mistake?

Oh I've got loads - I'm always doing this by mistake. Some of my classics are:

Lou Bega - Mambo No 5

ACTUAL: A little bit of Rita's all I need

I THOUGHT IT WAS: A little bit of weed is all I need

Jamiroquai - Canned Heat

ACTUAL: I've got canned heat in my heels tonight

I THOUGHT IT WAS: I've got candy in my ears tonight

Elton John - Can you Feel the Love Tonight

ACTUAL: It's enough to make kings and vagabonds

I THOUGHT IT WAS: It's enough to make kings and megabombs

Madonna - La Isla Bonita

ACTUAL: This is where I long to be, La Isla Bonita

I THOUGHT IT WAS: This is where I long to be, lucky star for me now

Bronski Beat - Beat Boy

ACTUAL: Beat boy, beat Boy, get that perfect beat boy

I THOUGHT IT WAS: Meatball, meatball, hit that perfect meatball

I could go on forever because I get so many of the words wrong and I'm always making people laugh because I think I'm cool singing along to the songs until I realise I've misheard them!

Lyrics mistake?

The ultimate has to be the 1980 hit So Lonely by The Police which confused Sue Lawley herself who wondered why the song had been written about her.

Lyrics mistake?

At the moment I cannot recall any songs, but that happened to me alot. Yes, I am a moron!

Lyrics mistake?

The Beatles: Penny Lane

The real lyrics were:

In his pocket is a portrait of the Queen

But I misheard them as:

And he's barking at a portrait of the Queen

Lyrics mistake?

Can't remember who sung it now but I used to sing 'excuse me while I kiss this guy' instead of 'kiss the sky'.

Lyrics mistake?

Jethro Tull's Aqualung - the first verse actually goes:

Sitting on a park bench

Eyeing little girls with bad intent

Snot is running down his nose

Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes

Hey Aqualung.

I always thought the first two lines went:

Sitting on a park bench

Five little girls with bad intent

Which, of course, changes the meaning entirely.

Also, Nickleback's How You Remind Me, the chorus actually goes:

Are we having fun yet, yet, yet

No no.

I thought it was Are we having fun? Yes, yes, no no

Which made little sense! :D

Lyrics mistake?

"People always listen to Marvin Gaye" rather than "Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today" [Heard them say - Kanye West]

Lyrics mistake?

i prefer the ones you know are wrong....but sound better.

robbie williams blatantly sings ` i lick her bum` in `angels`

listen for it next time you hear the song

Lyrics mistake?

Micheal Jackson has a few it sounds like he is saying diller instead of thriller look up his lyrics u will be surprised what he really is saying in most of his songs.

Lyrics mistake?

no one knows what it's like to be a Batman..

i use to think it's batman but it's bad man.

by the way, it's Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit.

Lyrics mistake?

"Larger than life" by Backstreet Boys

actual lyrics:

All you people can't you see, can't you see

How your love's affecting our reality

what i "heard":

All you people can't you see, can't you see

All your love is ******* our reality

yeah, i'm a moron too :/

Lyrics mistake?

One of Nickleback's songs sounds like "I want to break wind" in stead of um.... something else. I don't know what they say!

Lyrics mistake?

Tee hee, that's funny. and funnily enough, my gaffe was along the same lines. I was looking at the menu for the Chinese takeaway %26amp; watching Smash Hits tv or something, when I sang "I'm addicted to you, but you know that your chopsticks" (instead of toxic) duh! I thought my husband was going to p1ss himself!

Lyrics mistake?

My mother in law used to sing "my diamond necklace" instead of "wide eyed and legless" by Rod Stewart.

Lyrics mistake?

Alright, Alright Since we're all being so honest and open..

Here comes that rainy day feeling again..

and soon my tears they will be falling like rain.

I heard: And soon "My Tizzy" will be falling like rain.

reasoned: "Tizzy" must = an orgasmic fluid. Gross I know. Brother still makes fun of me for that."You're an idiot"

Lyrics mistake?

The phenomenon you're talking about is called a mondegreen - it originates from the same kind of thing happening with a song called "The Bonnie Earl O' Murray" from the 17th century. The lyrics people sang commonly were:

"Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,

Oh, where hae ye been?

They hae slain the Earl Amurray, [sic]

And Lady Mondegreen."

The actual last line was "And laid him on the green". Hence the word "mondegreen", which completely alters the meaning of the song. But I guess there's a difference between making up your own lyrics to songs because they're funny and then actually mis-singing a song because you've not heard the real words properly!

Hope that little useless nugget helps!

Lyrics mistake?

Cheap Wine by Cold Chisel

Real lyrics - I got my cheap wine and a three day growth

What my friends and I THOUGHT Jimmy sang - I got my cheap wine and a three-legged goat

Still makes me laugh to this day, and even though I know the real words, I much prefer to sing the misheard ones.

;-)

Lyrics mistake?

Thinking of you - Sister Sledge

the lyrics are

Everybody, let met tell you 'bout my love

Brought to you by an angel from above

Fully equipped with a lifetime guarantee

Won't you try it, I am sure that you'll see

It sounds like...Forty quid with a lifetime guarantee

Lyrics mistake?

Guns and Roses-- Take me down to paradise city.. I thought it said take me down to Panama City. Which is how I prefer to sing anyway whenever I am there.

Lyrics mistake?

I swore that madonna sang last night I slept with some dago's young girls with eyes like potatoes. Still not sure what the real lyrics are!

Lyrics mistake?

I have a friend who constantly hears the wrong words in songs, which provides lots of amusement for the rest of us, but her best ever was from Adam Ant's 'Goody Two Shoes', where she always sang the line 'subtle innuendo follows' as 'settle in you wet old fellows'.
