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.

Elton John Step into Christmas. I always hear the chorus as ‘The Officious Tree’ rather than ‘the admission’s free’. 😳
I always hear it as ‘be a fish and free’. 🤣

Do They Know it’s Christmas? shocked me, because I heard, “the only water flowing is a steady stream of piss” and thought that was very crude. Meanwhile, my friend heard, “the greatest gift they’ll get this year is flies”.

I was puzzled by a line in Gimme, Gimme, Gimme by ABBA, “and it makes me so depressed to see the loo”. I wondered why a single woman would spend her evenings staring dolefully at her toilet. It turns out it’s supposed to be “gloom”, but I’ve heard the song since and I’m not convinced.

@fabfeb

I sang 'Miss Miller!' at the top of my voice for years. As you do with Bohemian Rhapsody.

Peter Kay does quite a funny sketch of misheard lyrics

Me too Smile

TerrifiedandWorried · 12/12/2021 22:14

Always heard 'Mr Boombastic, semi-fantastic'. Like, he's OK. Not wholly fantastic though.

TerrifiedandWorried · 12/12/2021 22:15

REM - "that's me in the corner, that's me in the Spar, like I'm losing my religion"

Doifollowrule · 12/12/2021 22:19

Back & forth by Becky hill, my son heard "are we always having salad" then I did too - had to look it up and it's "all, all we all all we never tell if!" Cos that makes sense x

Remember someone on here thinking that the reason Nellie the Elephant had to leave the circus was because she was 'back to front'

@TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth

Thank you for mancherons! Me too Grin

dontputitinyourmouth · 12/12/2021 22:48

I had the radio on in the car a while ago and the presenter was saying “up next is St Elmos Fire” I was thinking to myself I’ve no idea what that is, never heard if that song before. Till it came on and id been belting out SET THEM ON FIRE… forever!

DoucheCanoe · 12/12/2021 23:11

@TerrifiedandWorried I've just realised that I thought My Boombastic was semi-fantastic too... Never occurred to me it was wrong 🤦‍♀️🤣

Cliff Richards - Mistletoe and wine. Turns out the children were singing Christian rhyme as opposed to drinking Christian wine

Gingernaut · 12/12/2021 23:17

[quote DoucheCanoe]@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🤣[/quote]
Yeah. 😳

That one too.

MrsMoastyToasty · 12/12/2021 23:26

DH for years thought that Phil Collins was singing "I heard you coming in the other night" ...

LizzyBennett · 12/12/2021 23:27

I thought for ages that Gwen Stefani was telling us that she 'ain't no Harlem Batgirl ' instead of Hollerback Girl

MrsSkylerWhite · 12/12/2021 23:27

Cliff Richard (I’m getting on)

“Piss off, honey, now we don’t talk anymore”

SecretKeeper1 · 12/12/2021 23:55

My younger cousin when she was about 8 or 9, belting out that famous Madonna song “Like a fir tree” Grin

Fairytale of New York

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing “go away!”...

KloppsTeeth · 13/12/2021 01:19

These are giving me a much needed laugh, thank you all. Grin

Gingernaught and DoucheCanoe

Try singing A P O C O L Y P S E at the end of ‘A Bomb on Wardour Street’ by The Jam!

VirgilStarkwell · 13/12/2021 04:37

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one whore soap and sleigh.

@FourNaanJeremy

I’ve thought my entire life that Michael Jackson was singing ‘Eddie are you wonky, are you wonky Eddie’ in Smooth Criminal until about a month ago when I discovered it was ‘Annie are you ok’ Hmm
What! I thought he sang "Eddie are you walking"
ImNotWhoYouThinkIam · 13/12/2021 05:34

DS2 hasn't stopped singing since he first learnt how. Seriously (well almost seriously). It's exhausting.
Anyway it's led to some corkers. Mainly from the ages of 5/6ish.

"Stand in the River. Your money or your life" I told him it was "Stand and deliver" and he told me not to be ridiculous, that wouldn't even make sense Grin

"Prince Charming. Prince Charming. Pretty cool, I'm nothing to be scared of" (he had a fricking costume for this too. And knew the 'dance'

"Woah. Were half way there... take my hand and maybe I'll swear" (he'd always reassure me afterwards that he wouldn't)

And his favourite church song was "The dark settee" as in the Lord of the dark settee Grin

For the record, he's only 15. He just has a rather varied taste in music.

Taylor Swift-Blank space

Actual lyrics: got a long list of ex-lovers,

I hear: gotta love those Starbucks lovers.

ReginaaPhalange · 13/12/2021 06:17

@bluebellYellow wait, what? She doesn't mention Starbucks lovers? Well that's new to me!!
