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!!!

Yeah, I'm gonna take my hos to the hotel room
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more

Everybody wants souffle, but they don't want to get burned - instead of everybody wants a flame in Bonfire Heart.
Selena Gomez song - I'm farting carrots 🤭

I used to think Freddie Mercury had been blessed with a particularly well-endowed lover:

I'll face it with a grin
I'll never get it in
On with the show...

(Actually, he was never giving in...)

A friend thought the Bee Gees Stayin Alive was ah ah ah ah stain alight stain alight.

Rosebud I always sing 'Climb Every Woman' too! I think it's because the tune sounds a little bit like 'Climb Every Mountain' from the SOM.

I have genuinely cried laughing at this thread.

cum in my hair, doing it yeah

My little girl loves to sing along with “ mama Mia, here I go again, my my hows your sister”

My ex husband through the lyrics to The bouncer were “your names not Danny your not coming i” . I thought message in a bottle went “it’s been a year since I broke my nose” instead of wrote my note..... my youngest daughter thought “return of the Mack” was “ turn on the lamp”

Macy Gray - 'My world crumbles when you are not there' i thought for months was 'I wear goggles when you are not there'...just presumed it was some sort of fetishist thing!!

OMD Enola Gay, my husband thinks the lyrics are it snowed again, should have stayed home yesterday. He also thought Don Henley's Boys of Summer was called Poison Summer.

Annie eat your oatcakes instead of are you ok?
Gonna go to a tesco (disco) in the middle of the town.
Gonna take my horse to the hotel room (old town road).
Chicken Tikka you and I know (abba)
Shower da horse I'm done (chio adios)

Lady gaga bad romance ... one line sounds like barrel of laughs

Loudly and confidently singing along to pump up the jam at work, no music just an impromptu outbreak of singing between myself and my co-workers..."I don't know whyyy, I pleeeedged to stay"
Ive only ever heard it in a club or my own car, so never really heard anyone else singing along. I was quite

Lil Nas X - Old Town Road

I'm gonna take mah ho's to the hotel room
I'm gonna ride til I can't no more!

It didn't occur to me that the title of the song was actually where he was taking his ho's, and not a hotel room. And that it was actually a horse he was taking, and literally riding, and not euphemistically riding a group of...ahem...ladies of the night! until he couldn't anymore

Only discovered the real words when I sang it full pelt in the car with DH present, who proceeded to hysterically laugh his nads off at me

Flamingle I misheard the horse to the hotel room too
Oh and also in panic room, when it says "welcome to the panic room" i always thought it said "welcome to the petting room"
Annnd finally the weeknd, starboy says "you're talking money need a hearing aid" but I misheard as "you're talking money need to urinate"

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

"Eddie, are you ok? Are you ok, Eddie?"

I hadn't RTFT before posting...I see I'm not the only one!

Less embarrassed now slightly

Ohhh yesss! And I also misheard "welcome to the panic room" as "welcome to the bedding room" which I assumed was some kind of swingers party

“Tuuuurn up the mic... oh yeah we turn up the mic”
I thought.. ahh well the song is clearly talking about wanting the music to be louder as it’s so good.
Turns out the line was actually
“Return of the Mack”
Clue was in the name all along!

Everytime I think of 'Born Free' I think of the episode of 'Porridge' and part of Ronnie Barker's character's version-
"Born Free, til somebody caught me, and now I'm in solitary"

I'll have to think of the song I've known for years and only found out the real lyrics recently,can't remember which song though.

And another
Jonas Blue, Becky Hill - Back & Forth

All, all we, all, all, always never tell her
All, all we, all, all, always never tell her
All, all we, all, all, always never tell her
All, all we, all, all, always never tell her

Are, are we, all, all always having salad
Are, are we, all, all always having salad
Are, are we, all, all always having salad
Are, are we, all, all always having salad

To be fair though, at the beginning of the vid for this track, a guy is chopping salad, soooo

As a young teenager I confidently sang "they paved paradise, we put up a fucking fight" my dad was not impressed with my choice of words and told me that was not the lyrics, even now some almost 20 years later, still sounds like that is what's being sang...

‘Hold me close and tie me down sir!’... quite apt I think 🤣

Real line: the blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France
That's a translation of a line from the Marseillaise, isn't it?
And I also thought Abba were phoning from Tesco-I only realised when I saw Mamma Mia with subtitles.

@Slavica the song is Annie are you okay. Not Eddie.
