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
🤷🏼‍♀️

On the other hand, I sometimes deliberately mangle lyrics:

Love really hurts without lube (Billy Ocean)
Soul City Wookiee
Tell me when your dick's in (Ed Sheeran Bloodstream)

“Eddie are you ready? “, instead of “Annie are you ok?” in Smooth Criminal.

And “if you wanna bean ma other”, rather than “if you wannabe my lover” in Wannabe.

@Flawedperfection - Annie are you wonky for us.

@anotherheadache

Ebenezer Goode by the Shamen.

For years I though it was "if your name's not Dan then you're not coming in" , for years I wondered who this special person called Dan was. Turns out it actually says "if your name's not down then you're not coming in". Which makes more sense for a guest list!

Oh lol, I always thought it was "Your name's not Dan..." as well!!! Wasn't the tune called "The Bouncer?" It was the Cockney accent, I reckon!

@rocketmanshine

Vengaboys....daughter used to sing 'the bingo bus is comin and every body's jumpin

My DH just told me him and his mates used to sing this about our neighbour who has indeed, been getting the Bingo Bus for decades, lol!

@icebearforpresident

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.

I thought it was smoother than a fresh dry hippy

One way ticket to the moon - Eruption
You're so vain - Carly Simon
I thought it was
You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yard
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror, as you watched yourself go by

@LetsGoCrazyPurpleBanana

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

I am in bits 😭

Joan Armatrading;

Drop the pilot
Try marmalade

It's apparently 'try my balloon'.

I used to think Elton John was singing 'hold me closer, tie me down sir'. DH and I still sing that whenever we hear the song.

Only because I just saw it on top of the pops 2 (from 1992) I thought it was "SHAVE your heeeeeaaad.." apparently it's "shake" your head! 😳😄

The current Ed Sheehan track Peru has a line in it that says ‘I’m a gay novice, so, girl you just capture my soul’

it actually makes more sense than the real words. The whole song sounds like it is called Beirut rather than Peru 😂

Little Mix apparently sing ladies all across the world listen up we're looking for recruits and not we're looking for our boots which is what I thought..did think it was odd!

@Travellingraspberry

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

Nah, it's Calling Cheryl Baker-oh!

@FuzzyPenguin

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.

And it's not about that then?

Come on Eileen….

Convinced it was ‘spunk dried faces’ for years….
But. Apparently….according to my mother in law…it’s not! It’s ‘smoke dried faces…’

From Harry Belafonte's "Island In The Sun", I used to think the last line was "with calypso songs from the Sothy Coll". I didn't know what a sothy coll was but it sounded suitably exotic. Decades later I found that they are "calypso songs philosophical". Ears

When Bohemian Rhapsody first came out, I thought ‘spare him his life from this monstrosity’ was ‘spare him his life for his warm sausage tea’, even though it made no sense whatsoever.

More recently, Kylie Minogue, Shocked, not so much misheard, but I’m convinced she sings ‘I was fucked to my very foundations’.

I thought The Bee Gees were singing (on How Deep Is Your Love):

When you come to me on a submarine

And

When the auction let us bid

DH was convinced Spandau Ballet were singing

I know there's budgies too

DS wondered why Fat Boo Slim wanted to

Praise you like a shoe

Soul City Wookiee

I always think it sounds like they're singing 'so silly walking' - and I imagine them doing a John Cleese Monty Python strut across the stage as they're singing

In the old Four Seasons song 'We Must Hang On To What We've Got', there's a bit where Frankie sings (I think) "Give me a second turning" (with doesn't make complete sense anyway) - but if you listen to it, it 100% sounds like he's singing "Give me a feckin' turnip!"

- from 2:05

Also, in Rock Around The Clock, the actual lyric goes "When the clock strikes twelve, we'll cool off then", but I am convinced that Bill Haley actually sings "We'll poo our pants".

- from 1:26 (although whoever added the lyrics has yet a different version on there?!")

I think it's actually just called 'Let's Hang On' - but you know the song I mean.

Herman's Hermits - 'Two Silhouettes'

"Let me in or else I'll wee down your door"

- from 1:15

I think it's actually meant to be "I'll beat down your door" - which is still rather disturbing, mind.

@Claymorekick

For ever, I thought it was 'after the poison, summer has gone' in Boys of Summer. I mean my version made no sense and the correct lyrics are literally the song title but I still misheard it every time. It was a real facepalm moment when I realised

I thought this one too!

LOL at the Kylie one, properly laughing my head off at this.

This one has already been mentioned by Peter Kay in his misheard lyrics sketch, but I always heard in Sister Sledge's 'We are Family', "just let me say for the record" as 'let me staple the vicar'.

In the Bangles Manic Monday, 'blame it on the train but the boss is ready there' as 'blame it on the train but the bus is already there' (bus makes more sense I think ).
