Annie, are you walking? Are you walking, Annie?

[BarbaraVineFan]

…the lyrics of MJ’s ‘Smooth Criminal’, or so I thought until the age of about 25!!
Anyone else have funny misheard lyrics to share?

Oh for the laugh emoji!!!
Suuuuuch a beautiful song as well!

Mine are

T a drink with German* *bread

And
Jambalaya, codfish pie

Is that not the correct lyric?? 🤯

I know Sister Sledge people used to joke about 'we're giving love in a Femidom'

But I always thought it was really 'We're giving love in a family dome'.

I can't hide...
And it is clearly Glasgow. Which is somewhat odd in a lyric anyway.

When I was a child - spare his life for burnt sausages

“Little town horse” - Elbow, Grounds for Divorce

4 year old daughters thought nirvana song was can’t find the butter man

Hot dog, jumping frog...I love turkey 🎵

That's what me and my friends sang 🤣

There should be an unwritten rule, and some have abided by it, that you add the funny lyrics ( that we all accepted as correct too) but you also add the actual lyrics, for the rest of us
🤣

Let's go round the bend, maybe we'll turn back the hands a tie

Also

Wash your back, wash your back, wash your back for good...

My youngest thought Madonna was singing Like a birds skin.

she also thought Shake your Booty was shake your boobies

Don’t know who sang it, but it was a big hit on the radio a few years ago…

ohhh ohh your socks are on fire….we had to sing over it, as we had a toddler who liked to sing along

Socks were really sex…

I always thought bananarama were singing in your penis your desire

"Got to beat some git on the head..."

"Got to be some good times ahead..."

Jo

jambalaya, codfish pie

is it not that? I thought it was!

I remember when JX Son of a Gun came out and the DJ on radio didn't even know what the lyrics were and asked people to phone in and tell them.

It was ascertained that the lyrics went 'America's on the run' and I thought that for years. It's actually 'a man just on the run'.

Christina Perri - Jar Of Farts. Presumably she was collecting them all and selling them to weirdos on eBay.

Better than the actual lyrics, which made her lover sound absolutely insufferable.

And of course:

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille,
Four hundred children and a crop in the field...

No wonder Lucille took off!

Macklemore song "like the ceiling can't hold ussss" I can't help hearing "like the silly can holderssss, like the silly can holders!"

Aged 9 or 10, I thought they were singing "I'm your Venus, I'm your fire, CHORTLE SIRE"!

Around the same age, thought Hot Chocolate were singing "I believe in MILKO, you sexy thing, you sexy thing"...

I think literally everyone thought it was "trombolice" and I took thought it was like a trumpet/trombone type instrument 🤣

Sheryl Crow - Like Steve McQueen, all I need is a fax machine

Bonnie Tyler - I'm eating all the powdered egg and giving off farts

Kenny Rogers - You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille... with 400 children and a crop in the field

Roy Orbison - I drove all night and crapped in your room... is that alright?

Herman's Hermits - She's a muscular boy

I am crying at “got to beat some git on the head” 🤣

AHH this was literally the one I came on to post! I'm 40 and only know in the last year it was 'strong beliefs' as my H mocked me for singing trombelese.

Might be a bit niche but Debaser by the Pixies - I'd been singing along to it with mumbled words for two decades until H informed me about Chien Andalusia.

My personal favourite mistake (there have been many more than noted here, I have poor hearing!) is the Eurythmics - sweet dreams are made of cheese. Made sense to me as I love cheese!
