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!!!

I was pretty young when Sgt. Pepper came out. I always thought that the line from Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was "a girl with colitis goes by" instead of "a girl with kaleidoscope eyes". Took 25 years before I realized what he was really singing.

Sugar by Maroon 5. DD and I both hear
"When I'm without you, I'm soaked in wee" (apparently the proper words are "I'm something weak")
Makes us giggle every time and go "ewww"

Florence sings "you're giving me sexy elephant"...

"My my love has got no money he's got his tumboleece" or
"and I miss you, like a devil's mystery"

All about that bass 'bout that bass no trouble..

DP told me it was treble and trouble made no sense..

DD was singing mamma Mia home I go again the other day. Couldn't help but smile! (she's 4!)

Don't you know I'll be your prostitute (supposed to be substitute) whenever you want me.

Sang loud and proud in the car with my mum.

Like a twister I was born to walk alone

Sheena wants to die of old age"

^^

@kierenthecommunity I used to think the Shania Twain lyrics were "I can't believe you kiss your cock at night". It's "car goodnight"

I thought Madonna was singing about ‘Tulips and gravy’ instead of ‘true love, oh baby’ in True Blue.

Oh just practically every song ever aired. If you asked my DC they would quote their favourites as Miley Cyrus coming in on a 'rocking horse' and Guns & Roses asking to 'Take me down to a VERY NICE city'

As a teen, I thought it was 'all the boys think she's a spaz, she got ... Bette Davis eyes'

Let it go
Let it goooooooo
The pastas in the pan....

@Diaryofalways87 up until I read your comment I thought she was also wrapped up in her invisible llama 😂😂

Outkast "Hey ya"
Always thought it was "shake it like a polar bear ninja"

For far too long I thought Shania Twain sang "I can't believe you kiss your cock at night" - "car goodnight" is a less disturbing image

@MillieMoodle just read you have the same dodgy ears as me!!

Big 90's dance anthem, Freed from desire by Gala. I thought it was "My lovers got no money he's got his trum-bo-lease", in my mind he was a busker with a small exotic trumpet type instruction, so he'd be ok. But it turns out it's "my lovers got no money, he's got his strong beliefs."

Also another 90's anthem...Tori Amos "it's got to be big"
I thought it was "he's got a big dick"

@turnaroundwhenpossibleagain ha I always thought it was trombolease until now!!!

Brimfull of Asher (not even sure if that's right) "everyone needs a broom full of go."

In the song ‘can’t hold us’ where it says the ceiling can’t hold us I’ve always sang silicon holders, can’t stop myself now 😂

As a family we still sing along to ABBA:

"Super Trouper pizza ponna piney" in dedication to DD who sang it this way when she was tiny

DFIL used to sing that 90s Babybird song "your cold chest" instead of "you're gorgeous" Hahaha!

Remembered another:

I used to sing along with the Smiths

"And if a tent on drugs kills the both of us, to die by your side well the pleasure the privilege is mine". Tent on drugs...😂

Just remembered one my friend told me about when he dd was 4ish.
ABBA mama Mia.
Instead of "my my how can I resist you" she'd sing "my mom how can I assist you"
