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.

Seasonal one: I thought Winter Wonderland included the line "Later on we'll perspire - as we sit by the fire" Made sense to my mind!

My other one that took me years to twig was Meatloafs Bat Out of Hell with the line "I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram, I'm a Cilla Black fan on fire"

Madonna

Erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body...but all I could hear was

Two Ronnies, Two Ronnies, put your hands all over my body.

Or Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie put your hands all over my body...!?

There’s a part in Fatboy Slim’s Right Here Right Now which sounds like “not behind it hurts my rear”. I think the words are waking up to find your love’s not real but I cannot for the life of me hear otherwise!

Until very recently I thought all the young dudes were carrying the noose. As it turns out they're carrying the news. Who knew?! (Well that would be everyone but me.)

I do love a misheard lyric thread. Some are so funny.

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.

^^ THIS

I think it's fairly common, but I definitely heard "We've got to hold on to what we've got, it doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not" in Livin' on a Prayer

There is a manic street preachers song which supposedly has the lyric “useless generations” but I’m 100% convinced they actually say “loses an erection”. This sounds far fetched but seriously, go listen to “repeat (stars and stripes)” by the maniac and tell me I’m wrong.

@outfoxed to be honest, I can have Manics lyrics right in front of me and still not quite work out what they're singing half the time
Still love 'em

Fell in love with San Pedro, I believe

Another one her who heard 'eyes like potatoes'. Should be young girl with eyes like the desert...still hear potatoes!

Thanks to bad karaoke singers in Tenerife I've heard...

Tina Turner's "Bring Me Your Vest"

Ed Sheeran's "I'm in Love with your Vindaloo, (I'm in love with your Bhaji)"

Chic's 70's classic "Free Cow!"

and Pharrell William's "Nappy" ("Clap along if you feel that nappy rash is for you".

Happy days

...an Abba's Chiquitita.. ...at the Champs Elysee!!!!! (which is actually, ..and the scars they're leaving)

Also the bohemian rhapsody being something to do with sausageees!

@theluckiest, for years I could never work out the "the admission's free" line. Not entirely sure what I thought it was but not that!

You're gonna have to face it you're addicted to love
and not
You're gonna have to face it you're a dick with a glove

Wig Wam Bam, gonna make you man
Wham Bam Bam, gonna set you on fire*

Obviously the real lyrics, *gonna catch you if I can are a LOT less psychotic. I only found this out maybe 2 years ago, age 29 when DP pointed out I was insane.

Billy Ocean's "When the Going Gets Tough" features a repetitious chorus of "Go and get stuffed".

It's true.

At the beginning of Adventure of a Lifetime by coldplay, the DCs and I always sing ‘cheeseburger’...’cheeseburger’...’cheeseburger’. Not sure what the actual word is, but we like our version!

DS's were talking about the itchy bum song . Still haven't figured it out but apparently it's played at parties.

REM Calling Jamaica.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Itchy bum song???!!! Intrigued... Will have to try to work that out!

Oooooo-ooooh were half way there
Ooooh hoooooo friggin’ on a chair

As far as I am concerned, Flash Dance will always contain the lines
"Take your pants off and make it happen"...

twig the one made me actually lol

A motto to see the NY in by!!! Or should that be NY city /PD
