I’ve been hearing this song lyric wrong MY ENTIRE LIFE

[AngeloMysterioso]

Sitting in the morning sun
I’ll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then l watch ‘em roll away again.

My whole life I’ve thought that last line was

They don’t want to roll away again.

MIND. BLOWN.

Mine was...

Step into Christmas

Step into Christmas
Let's join together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Eat, drink and be merry
Come along with me
Step into Christmas
*Be a pink ice-cream.
*
Which of course, is weird. And should be 'The admission's free.' Except that's not what my ears heard...

I misheard Step into Christmas too.

Instead of ‘hop aboard the turntable’ I heard ‘hop aboard the turkey boat’

theluckiest - I hear "be efficient free" .. always have even now I know the line

I only realized a couple of years ago that in Bohemian Rhapsody it’s ‘Beelzebub has a devil put aside’ not ‘Beelzebub has a devil for a son’ . Also in Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance I thought ‘want your bad romance’ was ‘Bon Jovi Romance’

It's not Turkey boat??

I thought Adam and the ants song was - Prince Charming, Prince Charming prince peculiar nothing to be scared of. Yep I know it makes no sense. I saw the lyrics on subtitles and pointed out to DH that the subtitles were wrong how he laughed.

Fairytale of New York

I always thought "the boys of NY city choir where singing Go Away" which kind of makes sense.

I always thought Bryan Adams’ Summer is 69 started:

Ooooh, I had my first real sex dream;
Bought it at the Five n Dime.

Elton John's clarity and diction are clearly lacking!!

Sia - Baby I don't yellow pills to have fun tonight

One of my friends misheard Chiquitita (Abba) as "Take your teeth out, you and I knoooow"

Also Abba - in One of us, I misheard this:
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go

as "when the bus had to go"

My brother (when we were pretty young to be fair) heard Bon Jovi’s ‘Living on a Prayer’ as ‘Living on bread’ 😁

I have loads!

Prefab Sprouts Albequerque - i thought it was I’ll buy cookie.

Kelly Clarkson Under the tree -lyric is “snow is falling as the carolers sing” and I thought it was “snow is falling in the capital C”

Summer of 69 😂😂😂

NYPD choir right? Not city choir.

My brother thought Sweet sweet fantasy baby (Mariah Carey) was Sweet sweet medicine baby!

Sia - Baby I don't yellow pills to have fun tonight

I hear the line as “I don’t need no Gala Bingo to have fun tonight” - even though I know what the real lyrics are.
(and DD confessed that she thought it was “hit the dumpster” rather than the dance floor).

Pulp - Disco 2000

The correct lyrics are:
“Be there, 2 o’clock by the fountain down the road”

Only I hear it as:
“Be there, 2 o’clock, baby bouncing down the road”

It’s only when I heard a song on the radio being introduced as “st Elmos fire” that I realised that it was the same song that I’d been singing “set them on fire” for years!

That Cheryl whatever her last name is now, “Fight for your love” song, DD as a young child heard it as “Fry for your love” and would spin herself round the floor pretending to be in a frying pan.

I always thought Dave Gahan was singing ‘we have to make this like Liverpool’ in 80’s hit Strangelove. It dawned on my only fairly recently it’s actually ‘we have to make this life livable’

Also I misinterpreted Jimi Hendrix’s leanings - I always thought he sang ‘excuse me while I kiss this guy’ when it was really ‘kiss the sky’, doh!!

I was sick and tired of everything when I called you last night from Tesco (Supertrooper by Abba). There is no way they are singing Glasgow. Or I hear a different version from the rest of the world.

Alanis Morrissette- you oughta know

The cross I bear that you gave to me

Not ' The cross-eyed bear that you gave to me!'

I thought that Lady Gaga was singing about Robert Runcie in her song Paparazzi.

'Fairytale of New York

I always thought "the boys of NY city choir where singing Go Away" which kind of makes sense.'

I though they were 'singing Colwyn Bay'

Labyrinth ft Emeli Thingy ,See Inside Your Beautiful

I heard it as
Would you let me, see inside your beautiful wooden leg
Chorus.... take it off now girl, take it off now girl...I want see inside

@marthasginyard me too with the colwyn bay and still sing it that way
