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?

Ricky Martin - She looks like a flower but she stinks like a pig!

(Friend's mum, not me!)

The Fall Out Boy one is clearly 'god damned arse face'.

Jambalaya catfood pie-ah silly gumbo. Yes, the Carpenters cover really stank (as did the pie, no doubt).

LOVE
I thought it was:

'I got my first real sex dream'
rather than
'I got my first real six string'

for years.

Worth starting this thread for that!

crazy

Is it not Starbucks lovers in Blank Space?!

Always misheard "get it yet" in Britney's Slave 4 U as "kitty cat" too.

MN-ers should clearly be writing all song lyrics. We're SO way better than the people who actually do it!

Taylor Swift - Blank Space.
The actual lyric is 'long list of ex-lovers' but I always hear 'Starbucks lovers'
I hear Starstruck lovers!

Automatics Monster - what's that coming over the hill, is it a rock star? DH - The clue is in the title dear!

When I was very small I used to sing
Ah ah ah ah stabilise stabilise (staying alive)
And
Chuckle chuckle pigeon (chuckle vision)
I ended up having grommets so obviously trouble hearing, but over 20 years later my family still take the piss.

Just a perfect day, drinks and gravy in the park..

I thought it was they for years.

Topical one. Euro 96 football song by Baddiel and Skinner. My niece used to sing "3 lines on his shirt" instead of "3 lions..."

I'm snorting at my desk in work

This is too funny

I was pretty sure that Bono wanted to feel some lead in his face in Where The Streets Have No Name.

I never really made out any of the lyrics to Donegal Express by Shane McGowan other than 'fol diddly arrrgh', 'Donegal' and 'fuck' but I suspect I'm not alone there.

Candi Staton's 'You got the Love. '

"Sometimes I feel like throwing my pants up in the air..."

Also Rihanna - Only girl in the World.

"I want you to love me...like I'm a hot pie "

The cross eyed bear that you gave to me.
Alanis Morissette.

I left some brains down in Africa

Maggie May by Sir Rod: ' You made a first-class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fookin' bee'.

That's what my DH heard.

For those old enough to remember when Paul Young was a Smash Hits! regular, am I the only one who was baffled by the lyrics:

Ev'ry time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you...

I imagined a but her shop romance, sending his lady love with a nice chop or a bit of mince!

Heard Michael Jackson and Smooth Criminal this morning - I still sing Annie are you walking, are you walking Annie

...which reminded me about Billie Jean's Rich-aird is not my son!

Shania twain - I can't believe you kiss you cock at night.

Mrs Fring "fookin bee." Brilliant!

my son used to sing 'I'll be home, by the xylophone waiting for you' whenever he heard Build Me Up Buttercup

that still makes me laugh!

I always think that in "Right Here Right Now" By Fatboy Slim it says oh not behind it hurts my rear

My two worst twisted lyrics are:

"Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said I'd like to smash Doritos in your head"

instead of "smash every tooth in your head"

And

"Gina wants to die of old age" instead of "Gina works the diner all day"

I don't have great hearing. I never sing along to songs publicly because I never get the lyrics anywhere near correct.

A long time ago there was a group called Herman's Hermits, one of whose hits was 'She's a Must To Avoid'. I used to happily sing (I was in primary school) 'She's a Muscular Boy'.
Later on, the first words in 'Bohemian Rhapsody' are 'Is this the real life, is this just fantasy'. For ages I sang 'Is this real life, is this just Battersea'. Further on in the song they sing 'Spare him his life from his monstrosity' - me - 'spare him his life from his Walls sausages'.

Some of these are awesome!
Look up Peter Kay misheard song lyrics on YouTube, I was crying with laughter.
