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?!

[absolutelynotfabulous]

redex yy to that song, except my version is "I am the Lord of the dank settee".

I hear "eyes like potatoes" too. Wtf ARE the words then.

Robert Palmer: "might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove" (Addicted to Love).

[Shoeshine1]

Must be the reason why I'm king of my castle - NOT trapped soul OR trestle

[ThePortlyPinUp]

Not me but dsis thought the lyrics to Fever were "you kiss my beaver" in fact she used the word beaver instead of fever all of the way through the song. She was only a child but none of us actually corrected her until she was an adult...

[KarmaBiatch]

I only knew this when I Googled "who is bubble runcy"

Lady Gaga and Papparazi:


I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Bubble, bubble runcy
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be your
Bubble, bubble runcy.

Urgh. Still sing it that way though

[AwfulCuntForTheButter]

5ive, Let's Dance - 'Take a dump, come and swing your balls to the beat'

Bruno Mars, Uptown Funk - 'Uptown, fuck you up, uptown fuck you up'

[Littleallovertheshop]

In my defence, I'm hearing impaired, but I though Sugar by Maroon 5 was "shut up", shake it off by florence and the machine "shake your bum" and I can't tell the difference between billie jean and Ed sheeran's sing

Oh and turin brakes "set the dark on fire" was um "set the dog on fire" until someone corrected me

[Shockers]

I thought it was you and me and Lesley too (Groovin')

I'm a dashboard child (Abba-Name of the Game)

Caribbean queen- now we're sharing nuts and crisps.

Last night I dreamt of some Diego. From the same song... Young girl with eyes like potatoes.

[jollygoose]

real song forever in blue jeans - I heard it as The reverend ion blue jeans I remember thinking it a bit strange
Also Rolling stones Paint in black I thought it said I see a rickshaw nd I want to paint it black when it actually says red door!

[MaximilianNero]

That Don't Impress me Much: "I can't believe you kiss your car good night"
Even now, I always hear: "I can't believe you kiss your cock at night"

Often fail to hear songs properly. On a related note, I finally heard 'If U Seek Amy' properly very recently. Only took 7 years to work that out...

[AwfulCuntForTheButter]

Maximilian - yes! I forgot the Shania one! So it wasn't just me

[Alohamora]

Max I thought it was 'I can't believe you kiss your Capet knife'

[Indantherene]

DD, then about 3, used to sing Moves Like Flapjack, and would not have it that it was Jagger.

Her older siblings used to sing Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you.

More misheards here

[FithColumnist]

I was sick and tired of everything, when I called you last night from Tesco...

[Mrsleighdelamare]

thelaundryfairy you have educated me today, I really thought he was singing about a city of culture too.

Cambsmum22 I thought those were the lyrics....

CalleighDoodle ditto...

Every day's a school day in this house

There was dance song in the 90s, I knew that they probably weren't actually singing 'Baste my chicken' but it definitely sounded like it. Then one day in Miss Selfridges changing rooms I heard it and for the first time realised it was 'Bass line kicking'.

[BreakingDad77]

Taylor swift - shake it off

• and the bakers gonna bake bake bake....

[kungfupannda]

Son of a preacher man:

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

Is it not cousin Billy? I could have sworn it was.

Mine have already been done:

Macy Gray - I wear goggles when you are not here (my world crumbles when you are not here)

Abba - I was sick and tired of everything when I called you last night from Tesco (from Glasgow)

I also had a long running debate with a uni housemate about Cutting Crew's Died in your Arms. What the 'aaah' sound at the beginning is. One theory was that it was 'Ra!' and the song was some strange homage to the Egyptian sun god. The preferred version was 'Ma!' and it was some even stranger obsession with the singer's stepmother - this was reinforced by a line in the middle that we both heard as 'she's loving by proxy, my father's mistake.' I don't think we ever resolved it.

[toddles off to check Google]

[kungfupannda]

Just googled. It's 'Oh'

Oh.

[thelaundryfairy]

MrsLeighDeLaMare As soon as my husband stops watching the football, I am showing him your post. "City of culture" makes perfect sense!

[TheOptimisticPessimist]

Someone up thread said it was 'that's when Billy'. 'Twas news to me too! I sang it in concert in sixth form once and definitely sang 'cousin billy'

[HanSolo]

This thread has me in tears.
DD immediately said 'is it MN, mummy?'

Young girl with eyes like the desert for La Isla Bonita.

[Shakey15000]

Glad it's not just me with Cousin Billy!

There was a thread this year about two cousins marrying and I almost posted "well if Dusty says it's ok..." Glad I didn't now

[TiredButFineODFOJ]

Well I thought La Isla Bonita had eyes like pesetas until just now

[PegsPigs]

I am the Lord of the Dark Settee in this house. Also the mistro is in from the sea in Mill of Kintyre. Whatever the hell a mistro is!

It's all about the bass, bout the bass no treble? Nope. DD sings Baba bees baba bees no trouble. And The cold never bothered me anyway? Nope. No Bobby Bobby anyway. Poor Bobby.

[PegsPigs]

Mull of Kintyre. Autocorrect is making me out to be even more of a moron than I already am

[inlectorecumbit]

James...
should be " sit down next to me" DS then aged 4 sang "saddam's next to me. To be honest it does sound a bit like it
