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!!!

A couple the DC have misheard.
"Your sweet sweet lovin" what they thought it was "your Swede smells lovely"
Pink song "beautiful drama" what they heard "beautiful llama"

When DD was little she asked me to sing the 'Dust band' song.
I said I didn't think I knew it. She told me I did 'The one that goes 'Dust band, there's no need to feel down.'

Instead of hearing 'Ciao Adios' in the song by Anne Marie, I thought it was 'shower the horse, I'm done'.

I do remember thinking it seemed a bit strange but thinking maybe I was just losing touch 🤷‍♀️

My beloved late dad:

Abba : chiquita

"Take your teeth out, tell me whats wrong!..."

I actually sang that in a karaoke bar...

Cheer up sleepy cheese.

Bat out of hell - I think somebody, somewhere must be Tony Bale

The one that I hear loads is at Stranglers gigs, there’s always some drunk bloke near me singing ‘lays me down, with my mancheros’ during Golden Brown

This!

Genuinely thought she was saying 'that's what I like a burger' turns out she was saying 'that's what I like about ya'

Same as Ed Sheeran 'beds sheets smell like you' thought it said bed sheets smell like poo.
Clearly need to clean my ears out

I thought the line in Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance ‘want your bad romance’ was ‘Bon Jovi Romance’ for years

The poker face ones are ironic because most people actually think it’s p-p-poker face in some parts when it’s something much ruder. Most radio stations haven’t censored it, our local hasn’t !

'shower the horse, I'm done'

I know someone who thought the same!

Somewhere over the rainbow weigh a pie

All my life i heard it as:

My lovers got no money, he's got his trumbalees

And i always wondered what trumbalees were.
Pondered this aloud in work once and bosses PA cracks up and goes

Its STRONG BELIEFS

Proper lightbulb moment that was!

"I can't believe you kiss your cock at night" sung when growing up - Shania Twain, Man I Feel Like A Woman. Is obviously car and not cock . DM explained when she realised

My husband used to think that the lyrics to ‘I’m horny, horny horny horny’ was ‘I’m honey, honey honey honey’. Which makes no sense whatsoever but he never questioned it. Though to be fair, it’s a god awful song so actually singing ‘I’m honey’ is an improvement on the original!

My user name comes from a friend's version of Once in Royal David's City in which she insisted there stood a lonely kettle shed.

I mangled the lyrics to Don't Cry For Me Argentina as a kid and sang Don't Cry For Me Appy Woodley as that was the name of an old man who lived on our road.

at Cilla Black fan on a bike.

Also on a Meatloaf theme, in Dead Ringer for Love, he sings to her "You got the kind of legs that do more than walk." I can't make out what she sings in reply but to me it sounds like "I don't have to listen to this wankerish talk." I am not sure what it is though but if I find out I will probably turn out to prefer my version.

@Razzlefrazzle  I'm glad it's not just me that can hear those words! I still can't help but sing my version though.

Oh, I've just remembered a cracker. Years ago I overheard my dad singing in the kitchen: "her name was Lola, she was a call girl"

My dh thought Sexy No No No said

Boy did you ever think that loving would be nothing more than fucking me hard...

Apparently it's actually walking me home

I always assumed a trumbaleese was some kind of trumpet....

That Bee Gees song - in that kitchen advert - I was so sure it was "when you come to me on a submarine" . It always bothered me then one time I really listened and that - "Oh - on a summer breeze probably does sound better......"

"Scared for his life of the monster settee".... which should be "Spare him his life from this monstrosity"

Take me down to a VERY NICE city'

Until two minutes ago, when catching up on this thread, I was convinced that's what it was!
Now I know.

Michael Jackson - You're just another pot of meat.

And on a similar theme, Paul Young - Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you.

That classic Bob Dylan number that goes:

The ants are my friends. They’re blowin’ in the wind... the ants are a-blowin’ in the wind.

I used to hear last night a DJ saved my life from a road hog, instead of last night a DJ saved my life from a broken heart (Indeep)

Climb every woman, insead of I'm every woman (Whitney Houston)

I always thought that in return of the mac (Mark Morrison) he was singing “we turn off the mains’. . I’ve even sung along loudly on a night out!
