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?

[Houseofmirth66]

My other half sang 'and you come to me in a submarine.' Rationalised it by saying that it seemed to go with How Deep Is Your Love.

I remember once listening to Smooth Criminal with a group of friends. Instead of Annie are you ok? One friend starts singing EDDIE are you Ok? We'd all just finished laughing when another friend starts up with Annie are you WALKING? so now whenever we hear it we all just sing Eddie are you walking?

Lulukat my ExH also used to sing about the Vauxhall Brother!

Which reminds me of an old boyfriend who heard Adamski/Seal's 'Killer' chorus as "Sold it to me brother... isn't there a part of you that wants to live... sold it me sister... isn't there a part of you that wants to give".

[Lulukat]

mlamle I still sing it that way all the time in my head. Ha love the Seal one
Me again: 'Pretty Cool, there's nothing to be scared of' Adam and the Ants

Funky Town -

the DCs sing "cannibal bottom" instead of "gotta move on" (I think ....)

[hecallsmebunny]

I don't even know what the real lyrics are but a friend at school used to sing

Sex on a doughnut
No more pain and no sorrow

Another thought Take That were singing "all I do is shine your face" (envisaging a forlorn Mark Owen polishing a framed photo of his love) Nearly cried with laughter!

[honeylulu]

"Nice beaver, nice beaver, you don't have to show it" (Night Fever by the Bee Gees )

"Lost in Munich "(Lost in music)

"I'm going to flip top my neighbour" - I'm going to lift up my labour - (Labour of Love by Hue and Cry )

[crazywriter]

Wait Lukas Graham doesn't sing a about kids who can borrow him? That's what I've heard. What is it then?

There is a one direction song too but I can't remember what that is now. There's a video on YouTube with common songs misheard with the misheard lyrics at the bottom so that's all you can hear.

[Keely93]

When I was younger I used to sing stone roses 'I wanna be a dog' instead of 'I wanna be adored'
My older brother tried to convince me when I was young too that oasis 'don't look back in anger' was actually 'don't look back you wanker'... I believed him until my mother corrected me...

[bettythebuilder]

My friend thought that "you and me endlessly" was "you and me and Lesley", not helped by another friend who convinced her the song had been banned because it was about a threesome.

Near far , wherever you are , I believe the hot dogs go on ......thank you Peter Kay.

[NovemberInDailyFailLand]

Bunny - it's 'Senza una Donna' ;)

Take That - Got a picture of you beside me. Got your lipstick, Mark, still on my coffee cup. Oooh yeah.

[MiriAmmerman]

Del Amitri's "Roll to me" has a line in it which goes "the right time, to roll to me." I still hear "the right time, the wrong amoeba" even though DP has corrected me.

Elton John "Sacrifice" - the bit where he sings "cold cold heart", as a child Inused to think it was "cocoa hall."

Elton John again I clearly have a deaf spot where he's concerned "Step into Christmas". When he sings "Eat drink and be merry I'll come along with you", I genuinely thought it was "Evel Knievel come along with you." Still get the piss ripped out of me every Christmas for that one

[ShesElectric]

I thought it was "my obsession for a western to dance all day!" but at "my dad's called Dave".

I also thought it was "the funk's all rubber, check it out now!"

[Helenluvsrob]

I can see clearly now Lorraine has gone

• that always got me wondering as a teen. Was Lorraine tall or what?

[MackerelOfFact]

I'm another who heard "I've got the shits on the floor" in Jason Derulo's 'Want To Want Me.'

I also misheard Kylie's 2000-era hit 'In Your Eyes' as being "destiny has a funny way when it comes and takes all your kids away" (it's actually cares."

One that I misheard for ages was Sia's 'Chandelier' which, despite the title of the song, I thought went "I'm going to run from the shit that it is, from the shit that it is" rather than "I'm going to swing from the chandelier, the chandelier."

[LaundryFairy]

My sister thought that the Stranglers were warning "you'd better watch out for the string beans" not "the skin deep". On balance, I think her words might actually make more sense.

[Liiinoo]

Lady Gaga quite clearly sings 'this is my Cherry pie, he can't read my poker face'.

And for over 20 years I thought Madonna started La Isla Bonita 'last night I dreamt of some dago' and wondered why she wasn't called out for racist language.

[AbigailRocketBlast]

Fried chicken = One vision - Queen

[pictish]

Also on La Isla Bonita - a young girl with eyes like potatoes.

[BathshebaDarkstone]

"Mullakin turns, only strolling in front to see"

[hecallsmebunny]

Haha thanks **November, always wondered what it actually was...still prefer sex on a doughnut though

[LaundryFairy]

Liinoo my sister thought that Madonna had dreamed of some bagels. Maybe she was just thinking about food too much...

[MrsJayy]

Fried chicken is in one vision Queen put it there on purpose

[IWouldLikeToSeeTheseMangoes]

I was sure I heard "fried chicken" and was trying to figure out what it actually was - thank you MrsJayy
