Misheard song lyrics (sorry)!
There is a song that has been playing on the jukebox at work quite a lot recently, I found out today it's Erotic by Madonna.
Until now I've been singing 'Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body'.
I'm pretty gutted now I know the real words!

laughing so much at this thread I'm disturbing my feeding baby Grin
"Try" by Macy Gray - my mate thought 'my world crumbles when you are not near' was 'I blow bubbles when you are not here' - I like the wok wobbles version too! Grin

Dsd when about 4 or 5 used to sing 'I am a professor, turn my clothes around', instead of 'I'm a different person, turn my world around' in Lola's Theme by Shapeshifters. She denies it to this day but we still laugh at her Grin

'MISS MILLER! No! We will not let you go! Let him go!'...

Who the f* is Miss Miller??? And - It was only VERY recently I learned the correct version

Every time you go away you take a piece of meat with you - I was only about 10 when that was in the,charts.

at school - Dance now where ever you may be said the lord of the dance settee - imagined all these god squad folks jumping around on a big sofa.

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucile,
four hundred children and a crop in the field

:o That baffled me for years.

In Nicole Scherzingers Wet it sounds like "take me home and pull me off in the shower" when its actually "cool me off."

"Popdom Beach, Im in trouble deep.....now ive made up my mind, Im keeping my baby"

fluffyraggies · 04/02/2013 07:14

"I like peeing in the larder" (i like Pina colada) - don't know the artist.

"Frozen liver, wrapped in cling wrap" (?) - Roxy Music.

"The runway lies ahead like a great false dong!" Confused - Brian Adams.

Don't step into my, Peacock Soup.

A polish car, and a screaming siren.

Paul Weller needs to enunciate.

ButternutSquish · 04/02/2013 12:55

REM Sidewinder lyrics are "Coming to wake her up"....I think Confused

Agree with so many of these especially the "I believe in Milko" & "Trombaleez"

ScrambledSmegs · 04/02/2013 15:32

that's ok, My willy's good - Nirvana, Lithium.

Tbh the misheard version works just as well, if not better, that the real line.

DebK2012 · 04/02/2013 17:30

Haha peanut! A friend of mine is adamant the song like a g6 is actually like a cheese stick Shock

OhIWishThereWasABook · 04/02/2013 17:47

"Golden brown, texture like sun, lays me down with my Mancherons"

I always thought it was ....lays me down with my machine gun Grin

JaponicaTroggs · 04/02/2013 17:56

I Will Survive - a friend of mine singing "Do you think i'd grumble"Grin. My parents thought Alison Moyet's Weak In The Presence Of Beauty was "I go wee in the presence of you dear"!

fluffyraggies · 04/02/2013 18:05

The Sidewinder, REM, is apparently: "Call me when you try to wake her up ..."

I prefer calling Jamaica - it's easier to sing as well Grin

"when I called you last night from Tesco" and "death row hard-on"

Glad it's not just me with those two!

I always thought I had these lyrics completely wrong but I turned out to be spot-on:

wise men save
near a tree by a river
there's a hole in the ground
where an old man of aran
goes around and around
and his mind is a beacon
in the veil of the night
for a strange kind of fashion
there's a wrong and a right

An old uni housemate and I regularly debated the lyrics of "died in your arms". He thought it was

Ra! I just died in your arms tonight - about a sun-god worshiper

I thought it was

Ma! I just died in your arms tonight - about someone having an affair with their stepmother. Especially since I was sure there was something in about "loving by proxy...my father's mistake"

TandB · 04/02/2013 18:48

Missed the Macy Gray ref - I swear it's "I wear goggles when you're not here."

TandB · 04/02/2013 18:53

I'm on a roll now Grin

Fairytale of New York.

I could have sworn it was "And then they sang a song, the rare old Latin tune." I assumed it was about them singing Adeste Fideles, with it being Christmas and everything....

Rugbycomet · 04/02/2013 18:55

For ages i thought Shania was singing "I can't believe you kiss your carpet knife", slightly fixed by this until I realised it was car at night.

my Mother thought it was kiss your cock goodnight!!? Blush

floweryblue · 04/02/2013 19:03

My baby he stinks of pee, but that alright by me (Footloose, I think)

Never could see why she wouldn't mind!

Snugabugz · 04/02/2013 19:14

Dude looks like a lady by Aerosmith

I always thought it was do the dragon lady. DH pissed himself laughing when he caught me singing it but I thought the dragon lady was a kind of dance. Still sing my version when I hear it
