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?

I love that as a modern lyric

There's a Taylor swift song "those lovely Starbucks lovers, they'll tell me I'm insane " but I don't think it says that at all I learned! I can't remember what she actually does say. I prefer my version anyway - of two 18yr old uni students looking lovingly into each others eyes over a spiced latte ...

Nirvana
Lord of popcorn and bring your friends

I always felt like 'une chien' should be un chien in that song but over the years that's become correct for me now. I'd forgotten until you mentioned it. Some bloody weird lyrics in their songs. "Your bone's got a little machiiiiine..."

For some reason, the beginning of Jive Bunny's That's What I Like, with the snippet of Let's Twist Again, really sounds like Chick Berry is singing "I'm gonna sh!t myself!".

On every other individual recording of that song, Chuck is very clearly just singing "I'm gonna sing my song" - maybe Mr Bunny had a little bit of deliberate rude fun with the editing process?!

Alright that's two quote fails in one night, mumsnet is messing with me. My post was meant as a reply to the Pixies/Debaser one!!

You have to be cool enough to go along with it.

“I wore cologne, I wore cologne”

It was a cover!

"A man that's on the run, is a girly sononvagun!"

Crawfish!

Brown eyed girl - my mate always used to sing “Hey there Rodrigo!” instead of “Hey, where did we go?”

Toto Africa I used to think it was “a hundred men on Mars” trying to drag him away from you.

I think I'm drunk, jeezo. Son of a gun. Wobbles off

My friend thought Eton Rifles was He's a right fool!

So did my bff at school. I'm now wondering if you're her. Hello 👋 ❤️

I wanna be a polar bear

Sorry miss Jackson, I am for real, never meant to make your dollar cry

Duran Duran- New Moon on Monday, I had no idea what the lyrics were and just used to sing “send me a warm mixed salad” only now thanks to the internet I know it’s a “warning siren”.

Billy Ocean - “Why don’t you go and get stuffed” is what I thought “When the going gets tough” was until very recently.
And despite being an American abroad, The Star Spangled Banner to me was always “Oh José can you see”

I had a friend when this came out in the clubs that swore it was "he's got his trampoline"

I can't remember any of mine, but there was a comedy sketch once where they had to deliberately sing wrong lyrics, think it was Phil Jupitus and someone else on never mind the buzzcocks. They sang Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights: "You had a temper, like my jealous eel" (meant to be jealousy) and I think of it every time I hear it. It used to pop into my head all the time.

There was also a lovely man on Twitter before it got all weird, MooseAlain maybe, who once posted "All the young dudes, wearing their snoods, keeping hair out of foods, hygienic dudes". They've become the true lyrics for me, I don't even know the original ones.

One of my DC thought "Love Shack" by the B52s was "Rucksack" 🎒 They used to belt it out so joyfully - altogether now, "Rucksack, baby, rucksack!"

More eels! I only remember eels.

My Lyrics.
One Flea, One Flea Flitting

Actual Lyrics.
Wonderfully, Wonderfully Pretty

I had this read out on BBC 6 Music once as they did a 'Wrong Lyrics' Show and my partner sent this in!

I still sing my lyrics though!

I thought the line in Sugar by Maroon 5 was “when I’m without you I’m soaked in wee, but it actually is I’m somethin weak..
