Misheard wtf lyrics

[theyhavenothingbuttheaudacity]

Just been listening to Gabrielle give me a little more time. The lyrics came up on the screen to. I'm amazed to find 'you drive your best car in Spain' is actually you tried to convince me
🤷🏼‍♀️

Another vote for Trombaleese!

Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, only recently realised he isn’t saying “ready or not Dave”. Spent years hoping Dave was actually ready for whatever was about to happen to him 🤦🏻‍♀️

Betty Davies eyes. When she sings "All the better to please you"....until yesterday I believed it said "Haul a bathtub just to please you". I always thought fuck me, why would she need to haul a bathtub, why does she need to be so strong to please the man

In the same song I thought she “makes Greta Garbo stand outside”, which given that Greta Garbo was quite an old lady I thought was really unkind.

(Apparently it’s “She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs” )

And while looking that up I found out the line isn’t “she knows just what it takes to make a crow blush” either.

Yet another vote for trombaleese. I’ve got quite a clear mental picture of a combination of a tambourine and a trapeze, like a fancy tambourine you’d play while performing circus skills. Busking to make some money since he didn’t have any.

"A year has passed since I broke my nose" (message in a bottle)

@DoorLion I didn't realise it wasn't hard to tack until this thread!

Tiny Dancer

Turning back
She just laughs
The vol au vents are not that bad

I thought it was a bit weird but assumed she was a waitress. I thought this for at least 20 years.

It took me ages to figure out that it's actually "she broke your throne and she cut your hair" in Hallelujah. Not phone, which had always confused me!

@DoorLion

I was convinced Friday I’m in Love went I don’t care if Monday’s black Tuesday Wednesday hard to tack (hard to take) until DH had a good laugh at my expense.

I also thought “taste of a poison paradise” in Toxic was “taste of a poison paradigm” and was impressed by Britney’s vocabulary.

It’s actually “I don’t care if Monday’s black, Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack”

I always

This was not misheard but misunderstood, when I was a sweet summer child. For the longest time I thought Wannabe’s “ If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends” meant getting with friends in the biblical sense. I couldn’t figure out why anyone would want this fellow after he had been through all your mates first.

Whitney Houston's "I get so emotional"

As a kid I used to belt out in the back of my mums car "Pakistan emotional baby"

Adamant I was correct. Still am.

@Hasselhoffsheadband I was sure it was drunk! Thank you!!! I will no longer embarrass my daughters.

It was “trampoline” over here. I’m quite liking jumbo fleece instead though.

DH always sings "I see another girl (hurdle) approaching" (Echo and the Bunnymen's The Cutter) which - imho, anyway - doesn't even fit 🙄

For years I wondered what this "stockwater tea" (star quality, obviously, doh!) was that Madonna sings about in "Buenos Aires" from Evita 😂😂😂

Groove Armada's "At the River's" : "If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air" became "If you're fond of sardines and sardine air" according to DD.

Cliff Richard's "It's So Funny" became "Itchy Fanny"

Full disclosure: DD was under 7 at the time.

“I need some time, cause I’m a pastry chef” ….. (some time and patience, yeah. Apparently )

We couldhave had it all, rolling in the deep, tears of butter fall

For years I could have sworn Sting was singing "Just like the old man in the book by Neville Calf" in 'Don't Stand So Close To Me'.

I really thought that Lil Nas X was singing about taking his horse to the hotel room. Thought it was a bit weird...but each to their own

When I was young I used to wonder how on earth they were allowed to play Play That F*#%ing Music White Boy on the radio - until I realised years later it was Funky Music..

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. I’d do a shit for you
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. Been wishin' for you
Maroon 5 - What Lovers Do)

I was watching EastEnders last night and the track Smooth Operator by Sade was playing in the cafe, my phone told me this. I was amazed because for all those years I thought it was Duran Duran singing "ooooh Barbarellaaa."

My husband laughed his head off.

@DoorLion

You are both wrong, it's Tuesday Wednesday heart attack. Google it.

Not so much misheard lyrics but as a child/preteen I completely misunderstood the meaning of ‘All that’s she wants’ by Ace of Base. I was convinced it was a woman in the prowl trying to find someone to get pregnant as all she wanted was another baby but not the man as she was gone tomorrow.

@Squiff70

What's that coming over the hill? Is it a lobster? Is it a lobsterrrrr?

Is it a BOXTER!!! Yes, I thought they were singing about a Porsche 🙄
