I’ve been singing these lyrics wrong for 21 years!

[chilliheeler123]

Somewhere Only We Know by Keane.

Apparently it’s “oh, simple thing, where have you gone?” and not “oh sympathy, where have you gone?”

Entirely boring thread (and probably far more worthy of Dull Women’s Club than MN), but I cannot be the only one!

I thought the line in Murder on the Dance Floor was "better not kill the groom" until about three months ago. Thought it was about a dance floor at a wedding, possibly with an older groom who might have a heart attack if he danced too much.

‘She’s alone in the new pollution’ I thought was ‘She’s alone in the Revolution’

I’ve been singing “super bad moods” for forty years.

You're a genius, that's a MUCH better lyric!

I thought it was I love this city until just now 😂

The lyrics on Mariah Carey's 'Touch my Body' always sound wrong to me now due to the 'Tuts my Barreh' version. If you know, you know.

Ps, don't Google it if easily offended.

There used to be a website called 'KissedThisGuy' dot com (based on the often misheard "Excuse me while I kiss this guy/Excuse me while I kiss the sky" Jimmy Hendrix lyrics) that compiled misheard song lyrics.

I can't hear that Kings of Leon song without having Michael McIntyre's voice in my head, "Darling, don't panic". 😂

Me too!!! I wondered who Bruce was as there's no other mention of him in the song!😀

I used to think as a child that The Lord's my Shepherd's opening verse said 'in Partridge Green he leadeth me' (it's a Sussex village).

I thought Sade sang “just because you’re rich ( ooh-ooh) doesn’t make it right”

it’s actually “just because it feels good, doesn’t make it right”

I kind of prefer my version!

I thought The Lord of the Dance said ‘ Dance then wherever you may be, I am the lord of the dance settee…’ 😳

Apparently in Love is All Around by Wet Wet Wet he sings "I gotta keep it moving" which I can’t hear at all and swear he sings "gotta feed the Moomin"!

The strong beliefs one.
I honestly thought it was
He's got a strong release..oops.

It will always be trombolese… I thought he was poor and liked busking with his slightly odd brass instrument.

Oh I knew it was sympathy. But ‘what have you done’ 🤣

I knew this one but I found out recently I’ve been singing the Boy George classic wrong for all these years, I thought it was…
Come on, come on, come on chameleonnnnn.

Hahahaha. This is a much better lyric and I will be singing it from now on.

I thought The MC Hammer song lyric ‘ you can’t touch this’ was ‘St Justice’ for YEARS.

The clue was probably in the song title…

The Kooks - Naive

thought the lyric was ‘ I know she knows I am not from the Ruskin’ perhaps Anglia Ruskin university?

it’s actually ‘not fond of asking’

When she sings ' let me wrap my thighs around you' I always think she says 'let me rub my thighs' and can only picture Vic n Bob rubbing their thighs in a creepy fashion!

Also I swear that Shania Twain does actually sing "I can't believe you kiss your cock at night" and have done since I first heard that song in the late 90s. It's a hill I am prepared to die on!

For years I thought it was carving knife 🔪

There was a segment/game on this very subject on radio x this morning

I always thought strong beliefs was trombolease in some garage tune from my youth!

And in a Pink song it sounds like she's talking abiut a medical condition cardio something

I can't remember the names of the some off the top of my head right now

My head nearly fell off when I found out that the song "Do you really like it" by Pied Pipers does not go "Ayia Napa, Ayia Napa, Ayia Napa"....but.... "How dya like my, how dya like my, how dya like my ...style"

Im still not convinced tbh.
