funny lyrics

[trixipaws]

i remember when i first heard rockerfeller skank by fatboyslim, i was driving home from sixth form college with the radio on. i thought the words "right about now, the funk soul brother" were "right about now, the vauxhall brava" (yes i kno there's no such thing!) and i remember thinking, 'wow this is a really long advert for a car!' because i thought it was a radio commercial jingle!

i also remember my sister telling me she thought macy gray in i try sounded like she was singing "i wear goggles when you are not there", and even though i knew she was singing "my world crumbles when you are not there" i couldnt help thinking she said goggles after my sister had said that!
another one was that bucketheads song that goes "these sounds swirl into my mind" sounds a bit like "peas, pies, pudding, chips and rice".

i thought i'd find it amusing if others share any similar mis-heard lyrics so i started this thread!

I thought that REM coming in to wake her up was calling cheryl baker! I also thought that Nights in White satin were Knights in white satin and have an image of men on horses wearing satiny type clothes! I only found out last year I was wrong!

My parents used to make my sister and I perform 'Superman' by Black Lace (the one where you 'ring the bell', 'go for a walk' etc) and I never understood why they'd laugh at us.

It was a while after that they eventually told us it was 'hitch a ride' not 'hit your eye'

[SarahB]

I used to think that in Wham's Careless Whisper he sang "Wasted cheques that I'd been given", instead of chance that I'd been given

Kieran is always doing this, bless him, he tries to sing along to songs in the car.

He thinks 'I love rock and roll' is 'I love bungalows'!!!

and 'Stayin' Alive' is 'shavin' the man'

Bless him!

 

[Fingers crossed]

I've heard the fallout boy one, it's hilarious . There's an Avril Lavine (sp) one called Constipated instead of Complicated.
I always thought the song 'What a feeling' by Irene Cara was 'Take your pant down' instead of 'take your passion'

'What a feeling, bein's believin'
I can't have it all, now I'm dancin' for my life
Take your passion, and make it happen
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life'

Great thread!

My boyfriend sings the wrong lyrics all the time...

His latest offering was...

Stand and Deliver by Adam Ant... but he sang...

Stand in the River!!

At our wedding, we decided to surprise everyone with a choreographed dance of 'Prince Charming' by Adam Ant but I heard hubby singing along to it during rehearsal and singing

Pretty cool is nothing to be scared of - instead of ridicule!

DH takes the pee as I though in the Friends theme tune, they sang:

'Your love lifes the old way' not 'Your love lifes D.O.A'

Also, have to say I LOVE the Fallout Boy This ain't a scene on youtube....'I'm also into cats'
