getting song lyrics wrong

[fatmomma99]

Had SO many things I was going to do today, but it rained, so I didn't do them. Had an incredible MN day (on here for hours!). I've cried and then laughed and then cried again at threads.

Inspired by the one that made me laugh out loud (the thread about making inadvertent suggestive comments, if any of you want to check it out)

Have any MN-ers got song lyrics wrong?

Mine include
When the moon hits your eye like a big piece of pie....

Tea - a drink with German bread

Jumboli, cod-fish pie...

And my sister's was
Sing a new song, Chick Your Teeth Out.

(can provide answers if any of those leave you guessing). What are yours?

[CharleyFarleyy]

Cant remember where I saw it but now whenever I hear Adele all I can hear is "I set fire to Lorraine!"

[Gide]

Wait, it's not when the moon hits your eye like a big piece of pie?! But, but, I swear that's right!!

I am notorious for having no idea what the right lyric is. Clueless.

[mlamle]

Imagination's "Just an Illusion" always sounded like:

'Could it be a bap?'
'No it's just an illusion'
'Could it be a bap?'
'In all this confu-u-usion'

[SmilingButClueless]

MsVestibule I haven't been able to listen to that song since I realised it was about the, um, position rather than the year

And I have only today realised that Goodbye Yellow Brick Road goes:

So goodbye yellow brick road, where the dogs of society howl

I was convinced it was

So goodbye yellow brick road, there's a dark cloud inside of this house

miamie Love it!!

[thebestfurchinchilla]

Wait, it's not when the moon hits your eye like a big piece of pie?! But, but, I swear that's right!!

I think that's right too! What else could it be?

[thebestfurchinchilla]

pizza pie?

[thebestfurchinchilla]

Am laughing out loud to this thread. Didn't know Summer of 69 was rude!! I'm shocked Mr Adams!

[mlamle]

It is indeed pizza pie (calzone, I'd assume...)

Just remembered Madonna's lovely recollection of "young girls with eyes like potatoes..."

[captainfarrell]

Had a big debate row with DH over Coldplay's Viva la Vida. I swore it was 'roman catholic choirs singing' instead of 'roman cavalry choirs are singing' I eventually had to back down of course. It just made sense to me, what with St peter getting a name check!

[Andylion]

The Carpenters covered Jambalaya?

[JPinkertonSnoopington]

Oh, a tree in motion

(A friend of mine misheard the above lyric in the same way. We had a good laugh about it)

( I was four when I misheard this one)
Calamine lotion sticks together
Calamine lotion all those cows

[Andylion]

Urgh,

[apatheticfallacy]

I thought it was Roman Catholic choirs too!

My sister says she was in the car with our grandmother who was loudly singing "like a bird King, fluffed for the very first time"

[Pardonwhat]

Out of reach - Gabrielle.
I spent years singing "Valerie, so far I never crashed your car" rather than "out of reach, so far I never had your heart"

And up until page 1 of this thread I thought that it was "reverend blue jeans" also

[Ifonlylovewouldsavetheday]

When Scouting for girls' 'she's so lovely' came out, I was over 30 and was speaking to a younger colleague about the line 'aint that the age a girl gets really dirty'. She looked at me absolutely horrified and insisted I had the lyric wrong. I didn't but was embarrassed she thought I'd made it up.

Macy Grey- instead of my world crumbles when you are not near, I heard I blow bubbles when you are not near!

[Flossiesmummy]

Having a laugh at these!

[Purplemonkeydishwasherpimp]

Best one I've heard is Elton John - Tiny Dancer as.
"Hold me close I'm tryin to dance here"

I was literally CRYING with laughter

[AllegraWho]

Boomtown Rats, "Don't Like Mondays"

The silicone chip
In cider head...

[WalkingBlind]

OMG Paddypants i was just about to say Macy Grey!! Except i heard "i walk cobbles when you are not here"

To those who mentioned Fall Out Boy, the entire chorus sounds like "I'm a little man, and i'm also evil, and also into cats" (I'm a leading man and the lies i weave are oh so intricate)

[paddypants13]

Bahahaha Walkingblind, I really like your version!

[Purplemonkeydishwasherpimp]

Another fall out boy one, the actual lyric says " ill be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake" someone I knew misquoted as "I'll keep the secret that your pig is a snake"
