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?!

A friend of mine thought for years that Ziggy Stardust was 'making love with his EAGLE' not ego.

When I pointed out the real lyric he said 'I always thought it was weird but lots of things were in the 60s!'.

What does she have eyes like!!??? La isla bonita???

Eyes like the desert!.

One of mine - I thought Alicia Keys was singing about 'monkeys on Broadway' in New York. I hadn't contemplated it being marquees.

"My ears are alight" for Desmond Decker's "Israelites".

"Eating trifles" for The Jam's "Eton rifles".

You are all wrong, it is Lord of the damp settee!
And I have posted before about mishearing Rhinestone Cowboy as 'like a nine stone cowboy, riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeooooo'

'Maggie May' by Rod Stewart. ' You made a first class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be'. My DH still believes is actually ' But I'm as blind as a fookin' bee'.

Bless.

I always though "friends with tired eyes" was "friends with tie dye" in Wham!'s Last Christmas

Move like jagger translated into my head as "move that jacket"

I clearly spend my time issuing orders to tidy the house. My children had to tell me I was singing it wrong!

Gnarls Barkley's Crazy

I heard 'does that make me crazy? Possibly' as 'does that make me crazy? Eyes of blue....'

Made perfect sense to me

'You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals, so lets'.......

You and me baby ain't nothing but mammasolets'

Blood Hound Gang

There's an old Blondie song called Suzie and Jeffrey with a line in it that goes 'don't touch, she's my fiancée.' I always heard it as 'don't touch, she's not Beyoncé' though she wasn't born when the song came out (unless you believe the vicious lies of Mathew Knowles and she is in fact in her 40s)

''Yes! I like peeing in the larder, and getting caught in the rain ... ''

It was the enthusiasm with which Rupert Holmes sang this as much as the words i was hearing which made me laugh as a kid

"Last Christmas I gave you my car but the very next day you gave it away..."

Don't know why I thought car. However I only just became aware university challenge panels are SIDE BY SIDE not on top of each other like it shows in some of the split screens

Sister sledge 'we are family' definitely has the line "you give me love in a Femidom"

My DDs were singing 'you spin me right round baby, right round like a RABBIT baby' when I corrected it to 'record' they said ' rabbit' makes more sense!!!!

Dh is a cracker for these!
'Witch of car line' instead of 'witchita lineman'
'It's cold like magic' instead of 'it's called black magic'
'Oh a tree in motion' instead of 'poetry in motion'

And 100s more I can't think of at the moment!

Annie are you wonky, say Annie are you wonky, are you wonky Annie?

Annie are you okay - Smooth Criminal

kungfu I thought it was just "aaggghh!" - like he was really worked up about the whole thing.

My mum thought "My love ain't got no money he's got his strong beliefs" was
"My love ain't got no money he's got his trombelines" and that trombelines some sort of musical instrument allowing this young man to subsist via busking. She had it all worked out

Another...
"We found love in a homeless place" instead of hopeless by Rihanna.

northern same here - I only found out this year that when the band finished playing they howled out for more. I always thought they'd held up the mall

Ianbro, when GC sings, I am a lineman for the county, I always imagined him in cricket whites. I don't even know if there are linemen in cricket!

When I was a about 9 and heard the first version of Candle in the Wind I asked my dad why Elton John was singing goodbye to an aubergine

I always sang 'I love my horses especially for you' in the Kylie and Jason song (all the love I have is especially for you).

Also: the ABBA song: 'Like Grace Jones says, Voulez-vous' (la question c'est voulez-vous).

CRYING at 'I'm as blind as a fookin' bee'!
