To ask what song lyrics you've totally misheard?!

[ffs78]

Our lips are sealed - Fun Boy Three. I still sing "I licked a seal!" Does anybody else still habitually sing a lyric they know they've heard wrong?!

This will totally out me if my mum is a mumsnetter hehe...

Boney M- I've always sang brown girl in the rain... tonight thanks to pointless discovered it's brown girl in the RING

I used to work in a pub where we had loads of these.

You me at six - Underdog "I'm a frog" instead of "underdog"
Paramore - (can't remember the song name) "Barry the Kestral" instead of "bury the castle"
Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar on Me "with a red iPhone" instead of "with a radar phone"

These are just the ones I can think of now but there were at least one an hour on our 24 hour playlist. I can't sing the real words now if I try!

Watchin fairytale of new york with lyrics was illuminating.

Tupac, California Love - I always heard "city of Compton" as "city of culture". My husband was the one who realised my misunderstanding and whenever the song comes on he likes to ask me to tell him about all of the museums and art galleries of south central L.A.

DS1 is a bit of a music nut and recently discovered Jay-Z (the censored versions only). He sat in the car a few weeks ago merrily singing "If you having car problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but my clutch ain't one". I drove home with tears of laughter pouring down my face at his utter madness.

Bohemian rhapsody - i used to sing it as 'I'm just a poor boy, from a poor family'. Apparently it should be:

'I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy'

Hold me close and tie me down sir

(Tiny dancer )

"I use my Llama face..."

My 11 year old DD tells me the lyrics are "I drew a smile on my face..."

Pulp - Disco 2000

Actual lyrics: 'be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.'

I hear: 'be there 2 o'clock baby, bouncing down the road.'

Knights in white satin, never reaching the end... [Imagines knights on horeback on some eternal gallop]

Instead of senza una donna my Mum used to always sing sex with madonna.

Leelu6

'I'm just a poor boy, from a poor family'
and
'I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy'

Are both lyrics from different parts of Bohemian Rhapsody

Toni Braxton Unbreak my Heart- 'say you love me' I hear as 'sage and onion'!

Destinys Child Independant Woman, each time they repeat 'I got it' it's deffo 'I farted'

R.E.M

Going to wake her up; I used sing 'conny cha way ho'. I never questioned that this didn't make any sense whatsoever until my DH pissed himself laughing when he caught me singing along.

For ages a little while i thought matt bellamy in Newborn was singing ' Slow lasses everywhere '.

Its ' Souless is everywhere ' obviously

"I got my first real six-string" = "I had my first real sex dream".

Summer Of 69, Bryan Adams.

I prefer my version.

La Isla Bonita - my brother used to sing "young girl with eyes like potatoes!" (The desert!)

Not my mishearings but funny all the same

'Last Christmas you gave me your car and the very next day you drove it away'

(To tune of Never Forget by Take That) 'heaven - it's good where you're going to'

Son of a preacher man:

When they gathered round and started talkin', cousin billy would take me walkin'

msvestibule I still sing sex dream

Also thought Justin Timberlake was singing about a pocket full of soap,
Rotterdam was anywhere but home,
Bruno mars was singing about dancing jews.
There's prob loads more but I've not realised I'm singing them wrong yet

I know the stones roses sing 'I wanna be adored' but I just can't hear it. I always hear 'I wanna be a dog'

One of my best friends loudly sang along to Michael Jacksons Man in the mirror as 'no moustache could defend any killer'. Ironically the correct lyrics are 'no message could have been any clearer'.
I used to think that you can call me Betty song was about gay sex, not alcoholism. I was convinced it was 'you can be my bodyguard, and I will be your back door man'
