Misheard lyrics....

[Littletinytarzanswingingfromanosehair]

Well I was born in the late 80's and I've only just realised the song lyric isnt;

"She's got better days aside"
Its she's got "Bette Davies eyes"

FFS.

Aw sweet holy Jeez, I am in my fifties and this is news to me🤣🤣

Brilliant thread!

I’ve recently discovered coxy.official who has an interesting collection of misheard lyrics. His facial expressions when he realises what he’s miming to the music are a sight to behold … 😳🤣I pity anyone called Lorraine!

I love these and can never remember the many different lyrics I mishear but I give you:

"Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got.
HAMSTER HAMSTER Jenny from the Block"

The Gene Cotton song “Me and the elephant” (will never forget you) has a first verse that I misheard.
It’s “We went down to the city zoo,
Just to kill an hour or two
In the good sunshine”
But it sounds like “Just to kill an owl or two”.
Which turns a beautiful sad song about being unable to forget his lost love, into a mad ditty about a couple of psychopathic bird murderers!

Sat in the car one day and they announce the song after the break would be St Elmo’s Fire. I think to myself that I’ve never heard that one before.
Turns out all the years I’d been belting out”set them on fire” it was wrong 😑

The Ramones song 'Beat up the brat' - my DS sung 'Peter the rat' - he loved that song, bless.

Lucille: 400 hundred children and a crop in the field 😳

My boot scoopin' baby is driving me crazy,
My obsession from a western, my dad's called Dave...

😂

Another Shania Twain one.
”Kissed his carpet knife”,thought she was singing about a carpet fitter.

Big Fun - Inner City

Instead of "we're having big fun" I thought it was "we're having meatballs". It really does sound like it!

*@TallulahBetty
Midnight at the oasis, sing your camel to bed...

@louderthan So what's the actual line?? I thought it was the camel too!*

It's SEND your camel to bed (just checked!)

In You Could be Mine by Guns n Roses the words are very clearly "Don't forget to call my lawyer with ridiculous demands. You can take the pretty sofa".
Makes perfect sense. The song is about an acrimonious relationship split and they're obviously dividing the assets. No member of the most dangerous band in the world would be interested in keeping floral soft furnishings would they?
Allegedly the real words are "you can take the pity so far" but I think my version is better.

Charlie Puth - Attention

Even though I’ve googled and now know the lyrics, all I can hear is that he’s having a turtle thrown on his knee.

😂 Furball rain! Genius. Prince would've loved that.

Oh I had a revelation yesterday!

Yahoo, Only You

I've always known the lyrics were, All I Needed Was To Love You Gay, which I thought was quite progressive for it's time.

Young girls with eyes like potatoes - La Isla Bonita, Madonna

Better than "400 children and I crap in the field".

It would kind of make sense though. If the number of kids you have runs into the hundreds, you're going to have a hell of a wait to use the bathroom.

Beautiful South, Song for Whoever - "I love you from the bottom of my pants okay."

I’m 50 and only found out the other week that the lyrics to Sister Sledge’s He’s the greatest dancer isn’t , “I wonder why, he’s the greatest dancer?” but “Oh, what, wow - he’s the greatest dancer”

Septicaemia. It's just one of those things you put down to experience.

He's got his trombolese is actually he's got his strong beliefs.

I didn't know the actual lyrics and always hear it as, "He's got his tambourine."

@SinnerBoy it's obviously a trombolene, which is equally obviously a cross between a trombone and a trampoline.

Well, it's a bouncy tune!

Diana Ross Chain reaction " tell Eddy Waring there is no salvation " 😂
