AIBU to ask what is your biggest lyric mishap? (lighthearted)

[hel123]

So I was watching TV with my OH last night, and the adverts came on. One advert had the song 'Born free' as the backing track.

I enthusiastically sang along to the words as I have always known them... 'Born freeeeeeeee, as free as a monkeeeeeeeee'.

My husband almost wet himself and replayed the ad at least four times to prove that they are categorically NOT the words.

I have literally only just found out that it is 'as free as the wind blows'. I'm quite gutted, at least my version rhymes! And I thought it had something to do with the film!!

So what lyrics have you got wrong, make me feel better!!!

Came here to say exactly the same thing, chester I still giggle whenever I listen to that.

Also Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber’s I don’t care, I always sing “I can deal with the bad guys when I’m with my baby yeah” instead ‘bad nights’ - it would be an interesting action movie, I suppose... visions of vigilante Sheeran and Bieber

"cum in my hair, doing it yeah"

"Livin' on a Prayer" - until a week ago I thought it was "Sheena wants to die of old age", not "Sheena works the diner all day."

@Zoidbergonthehalfshell it's Gina

When I was younger, instead of like a virgin, (Madonna) I used to sing like your first gin! Cue an awkward conversation with my mum when I got told the proper lyrics and asked what a virgin was!

Michael Jackson was singing “Eddie are you wonky, are you wonky Eddie” he was

John Legend - all of me.

He says - You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning

I thought he said - You're my end and my beginning
Even when I look at women

Every time I heard it I'd think "what a bastard! "

I know it’s “I’m a survivor” but all I keep hearing is “I’m a bus driver”

I love listening to this guy though

misheard lyrics

George ezra - Paradise instead of "Bikini bottoms,lager tops"
I thought it was "bikini bottoms like a top" I had images of women wearing bikini bottom as a bikini top wondering if people really do that

Sorry it's shotgun not paradise

In the 5ive song 'if you' re getting Down' my friend sings "keep moving don't stop fucking" instead of rocking

Dd used to sing "dress up like hamsters" instead of "hipsters" in Taylor swifts song 22.

In The Fall's cover of Lost in Music, apparently the line is: 'Refurbishment of pubs in the hideaway'

All I can hear is 'Bring out Noel Edmunds'

‘It doesn’t make a difference if we’re naked or not’ Livin on a Prayer

lady Gaga singing 'you ain't gonna touch my genitals' the song is called Telephone. so I think she must be saying that and not genitals

@Iwantacookie haha my mum swings the maroon 5 as "took a shit on you"

That dirge by Adele

‘Hollering with the sheep, never had bad feet.
Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep’

I also wondered why Shania Twain’s unimpressive fella used to kiss his carving knife

LA Woman - I thought Jim Morrison was singing "cops in cars, tapas bars".

amusedbush you’ve jst corrected one of mine and I didn’t even realise, I thought it was dancing shoes.

For years as well I though the song St Elmos Fire was saying “set them on fire” wasn’t till I heard it introduced on the radio one day that it twigged

As a young child, I loved the song by the new seekers "I'd like to teach the world to sing"

My parents had friends around and the song came on - I proudly announced that I liked the "SHIT" bit best....................my parents and their friends all looked at me open-mouthed and confused!

The line is "I'd like to teach the world to sing and furniSH IT with love"!!!!

... dance with me, make me sway
Like the lazy ocean lobster show
Hold me close, sway me more.

Apparently they aren’t the words.

it's Gina

See? Even my corrected version is wrong!

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons - Let's Hang On To What We've Got

Apparently, the lyrics are supposed to be "Give me a second turnin'"(doesn't make a lot of sense anyway)

I must have listened a hundred times and he DEFINITELY sings "Give me a feckin' turnip!".... which actually makes slightly more sense.

"I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram or a Cilla Black fan on a bike"

"Children of the air, that's what they say when we're together"

Tiffany, I think we're alone now.
