Mis heard sing lyrics.

I can’t say this IRL it’s too embarrassing.

Coldplay - my universe.

I thought it was called “my hidden reverse” and the Japanese singing was some sort of reverse singing hidden message. Just realised the lyrics in Apple Music lyrics are not a subliminal reverse massage but Japanese lyrics. Thank god I didn’t sing that out loud at work - hidden reverse.

Not me but my youngest dc ‘away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little malteser lay down his sweet head’

@Laufeythejust

I was scrolling through Facebook when I saw this and it blew my mind. Song is ruined for me now though, strong believes aren’t as fun as a trombolese.
Yep I also thought it was trombolese for years. And the line "mind and senses purified' was my ' inscents is purified'

Other ones I've misheard-
Stop! In the neighbourhood
Fly away on my cell phone
Hello from the other line

The funniest one I read on here ages ago was someone's grandmother who thought the lyrics to Ghostbusters was " who you gonna call... those bastards".

An Abba song … think it’s Mamma Mia, has the lines “there’s a fire within my soul”. My youngest child sung it as “there’s a firework in my hole”.
Which I think you’ll agree is much better.

I couldn't help but childishly giggle at "Driving Home For Christmas" the other day when it says "soon there'll be the freeway..." It sounded like "soon there'll be a threeway..."

That would be quite the treat after driving home 😂.

SpamIAm · 12/12/2021 19:56

I only recently discovered the song I thought was 'Better Days Ahead' is indeed 'Bette Davis Eyes'. I still keep singing it wrong.

@LouiseBelchersBunnyEars

Florence and there machine - such sweet nothing

For the longest time I thought she was singing about a ‘sexy elephant’ 🙈🤣

THAT'S what it is?! I always wondered what she was singing - I thought it sounded like "I'm giving you backstreet loving!"

Being dyslexic, any song which spells the words out is nightmarish.

R! E! S! P! E! C! T!

I really had to write the letters down to work out that she was talking about RESPECT!

Yeah, the clue was in the title and the chorus, but it was confusing.

I'll never unhear that now Grin

@Gingernaut I shouldn't laugh I know but I remember the struggle my dyslexic brother had at a festival once trying sing along to Noah and the Whale - L I F E G O E S O N.

He was just chanting any random letter of the alphabet because he couldn't get them in order. I almost choked on my drink Blush🤣

Fatty Slim:
"Right about now, The funk soul brother /
Check it out now, The funk soul brother…"

I always thought he was saying "Funk's your brother", as in You and Funk are so close that you're like brothers.

When I was 21 I went back packing around Israel.
One night I went clubbing in Tel Aviv.

The Weather girls " It's raining men" was blasting out and it was the first time I'd ever heard the song.

On the way home, in the packed mini bus full of native Israelis as well as back packers, I drunkenly and very loudly repeatedly sang " Israeli men... hallelujah "....

Still makes me cringe . 😬

@RussianRuby

Realised this year I’ve been singing Silent Night wrong all my life - the line ‘radiance streams from heaven above’ I always thought was ‘radiant scenes from heaven above’
That’s confusing, @RussianRuby.

According to the first three websites I’ve gone to, and a recording of King’s singing it, it

V2
Glories stream from Heaven afar,
Heavenly Hosts sing Alleluia!

V3
Radiant beams from Thy Holy Face
With the dawn of redeeming grace

I would have agreed with you about Radiance beams…

I thought "forever in blue jeans" was about a hip vicar, Reverend Blue Jeans 😳
Are you my mum???

Husband on Busted - Who's David (and let's bear in mind this song came out in 2002 and he has been singing this until last year), the actual lyrics are 'flirtatious and quite loud', yet DH has spent 17 years singing 'for days your sink went out' as if that even makes any fucking sense.

Yummypumpkin · 12/12/2021 21:48

These are too funny.

I always thought Taylor Swift's "left my red scarf there at your sister's house" was "left my mascara there at your sister's house".

I still sing my version even after all the media stories about the Red scarf. Never struck me as odd an ex boyfriend would keep a mascara as a momento.

Elton John's Sacrifice "coco heart". It's cold cold heart.
