Wrong words for songs

[Itsnaptime]

What's the best mistake you've made on song lyrics
I'm 40 and just realised I have been singing "and a parsnip in a pear tree"!!
Why did no-one ever correct me on this and how did they keep a straight face? 🤣

Bruce Springsteen's Brilliant Disguise. To be fair I didn't know the name of the song as someone has put it on a mix tape for me. I thought he was singing "Is it you babe, or just a brick in disguise?"

Poetry in Motion! For years I thought it was ‘oh a tree in motion, standing next to me’

i still prefer my version.

This isn't a mis-hearing but a guaranteed trick to cheer you up when down (if you have an immature sense of humour like me)

Sing Days by Kirsty MacColl to yourself, but replace the word days with smells.

Thank you for the smells
Those endless smells, those sacred smells you gave me
I'm thinking of the smells
I won't forget a single smell believe me

I don't think I'll ever not find this funny, if I live to 100

I always hear it like that too!

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons - Let's Hang On To What We've Got... I think the lyrics are supposed to be 'Give me a second turning', but Frankie so clearly channels his inner Father Jack and sings "Give me a feckin' turnip"!

My mum use to like a song, I’d sing along with her ‘you make me feel like a mental old woman’ I thought it was a bit weird (I was quite young maybe around 10?) turned out it was something about a ‘natural woman’ 😂

I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
I wear goggles when you are not here.

Louis Armstrong's Wonderful World - I always thought the line was 'the brides say good day, the dogs say goodnight'! (The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night.)

I just can't believe this!

Sea lions on my shirt.

A friend at uni was convinced ‘don’t speak’ by No Doubt was ‘nose bleed’.

I thought that was the proper lyric.

Remember Ali With The Mittens On that was around about the same time as this?
