No, but he does have his strong beliefs!

Apparently Jonas Brothers do not sing
"Break my dick and go oooh"
It is:

And you're makin' the typical me break my typical rules
It's true, I'm a sucker for you, yeah

Interested in this thread?

Many years ago I used to frequent the chat boards on Yahoo Answers. One person on the music forum innocently asked about a song by Alanis Morissette. I'm a huge AM fan right from Jagged Little Pill to the present day. I was so amused when the poster asked why Alanis was singing about "the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me" from her song 'You Oughta Know'. The real lyrics are 'the cross I bare that you gave to me'. I still giggle about that one.

Sweet Nothing by Calvin Harris and Florence (from the machine)

Apparently she isn’t “living on sexy elephants” and isn’t repeatedly shouting at someone telling them to “stop giving me sexy elephants”. Who knew? But that’s what our family are singing at full volume every time.😂😂

Push the feeling on by Nightcrawlers
I thought it said "you lied again derp.... you lied to my smurf"

At no point does Kurt Cobain sing "I'm a paedo" during Smells Like Teen Spirit. He actually sings "my libido".
I realised this much more recently than I care to admit.

The chorus REM's Sidewinder sleeps tonight... I can't hear the line as anything other than Call me Jamaica-lum... which clearly isn't the lyrics, I look it up nearly every time I hear it as just can't make out what he's singing. Apparently it's Call me when you try to wake her up

isthismylifenow · 09/03/2022 08:09

Mine is Billie Jean. For years I've sung, Billie Jean is at my door.... Where he actually says Billie Jean is not my lover

But the rest made sense to you? As kids we sang 'but the jail is not my son' and I still don't know haven't been bothered to Google what the hell he's saying

Oh no that part is just as bad. "But the killer is the sun"

It is "the kid is not my son"

@Travellingraspberry I think you'll find it's "Calling Cheryl Baker up."

😃

I thought it was "come in and try wake her up", I don't see how the other version fits! But I've checked and you're right.

I love the Gene Cotton song “Me and the elephant (will never forget you)”
But the lovely sad sweet vibe was ruined for me by a comment on Youtube.
Someone had misheard the line where the lovers go to the city zoo just to kill an hour or two as “just to kill an owl or two!
This beautiful ballad about a lost love has now become a song about a couple of psychopathic owl stabbers!

@JuliaSways

I've Had the Time of My Life:

as a child I thought it was "With my body in soap I want you more than you'll ever know"

Couldn't work out why she needed to be soapy 😂

(with my body and soul)

I always thought the line "There's no way we could disguise it secretly" was there's no way we could disguise seecra fee. I could never work out the end of that line. Only found out it was secretly last year. I never could figure out wtf a 'seecra fee' was....

I thought Michael Jackson was singing about a chair in Billy Jean, because he kept singing 'but the chair is not my sun......da-owwwwnnn' (I pictured 'son' as sun for some reason and the bit at the end sounded like down, as in sun down) instead of it being "but the kid is not my son"

I have so many, but the one that had me laughing for 2 hours was reading someone else's misheard lyrics on another site. They thought Pat Benatar's song Hit me with your best shot was 'hit me with your pet shark'. Might not sound funny to you but I kept someone having a velour stuffed child's toy shark and a person hitting someone over the head with a stuffed shark. I completely laughed so much I had tears streaming down my face and pain in my stomach, I just could not stop laughing.

If you are having a bad time or bad day, I recommend going to www.amiright.com and reading some of the entries, guaranteed you will be crying laughing at some of them.

“ROSS CAN” instead of “Roxanne”.

Just kidding! I’m channelling Phoebe Buffay.

Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong
I used to sing 'no lift goes up where we belong'

Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi - first few times I heard it on the radio and didn’t know the name of the song I heard the lyrics “pappa- paparazzi” as “purple…purple taxi”

Stone roses- I wanna be adored
When I was younger I thought it was I wanna be a dog

@Isausernameavailable

There's a grim haberdasher and he's 45
I'll never unhear that

When it came out I spent months singing ‘smoother than a first class hippy’ to Uptown Funk instead of the actual line ‘smoother than a fresh jar of skippy’.

In my defence I knew it was wrong, I just couldn’t ever make out what he was actually singing and by the time the song was over I’d already forgotten to google it.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds "a girl with colitis goes by" 🤦‍♀️🤣

This thread has me howling! Has anybody been singing 'he's got his trombolese' over and over these past few days and cracking up?!Grin
