…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?

The song You Belong To Me

“See the pyramids along the Nile, see the sunrise on a traffic isle”

should be tropic isle (I think)

Imagine Dragons- Younger

the line is 'I wish I could put a forcefield around every single one of us'
for the longest time I thought he was singing foreskin!😂

Madonna, la Isla Bonita. 'young girl with eyes like potatoes' is apparently incorrect and she's singing 'young girl with eyes like the desert'. I still don't believe it.

Shit, I’m 56 and until I saw your post I thought they were the correct lyrics!

And me. I always sing that. Got a nice ring to it. My love is of the morning he’s got his trombeleze

Justin Timberlake

Under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting new clothes.

Which kind of makes sense.

There was an episode of The Kumars At No 42, where Ummi (played by Meera Syal) talked about how annoying it is when your pants disappear up your bum crack, and she described the phenomenon as 'hungry arse'.

Ever since, I've never been able to hear Hungry Eyes by Eric Carmen with the proper lyrics!

I hear that to Bruce Springsteen's Hungry Heart.

Everybody's got a hu..hu..hungry arse!

Celine dion titanic - The hot dogs will go on.
Shania twain - kiss your cock at night.

‘All I do is shine his plate’ (take that- all I do each night is pray)

I thought it was about a put upon spouse washing up again and again….

I love this Songs of Praise from Adam Buxton. I don’t know what the words are supposed to be, but I much prefer this version.

Oh, and who can forget that classic ‘My lover’s got no money, he’s got his trombelise’. I think I imagined a trombelise as a musical instrument of some kind, maybe a bit like a lute

I think we all did .

Hovis Presley did a version of that song with the lyrics 'The only one who could ever reach me: home-delivery pizza man' Grin

I absolutely thought the TLC song was Jason Waterfalls, but unlike most people who heard that I didn't think they were begging a guy names Jason Waterfalls not to go, I thought it was a warning, "don't go Jason Waterfalls", as in "don't behave in the foolish ways Jason Waterfalls is known to do". I guess I was about 6 or 7 though

🤣👏

"...City lights lay out before us
your arms and legs wrapped round my shoulders..."

That's exactly what I sing, wait is it not right??

Pemba · 18/06/2025 22:34

@BleakAF apparently it's 'your arm feels nice around my shoulder(s)'.

Pemba · 18/06/2025 22:36

Oh that should be : 'Your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder.'

Blink 182's What's my age again?
"I walk alone to get the feeling right" is actually "I wore cologne to get the feeling right". Why would he walk alone 😆

"I am an arm stealer" is what I sing instead of "I am an arms dealer"
