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?

Saw it on a documentary they were arsing about at the recording and decided to leave it in.

[BreakfastAtSquiffanys]

From Where have all the Cowboys gone?

Where is my furry socks? (yes rubbish grammar as well as making no sense)

The chourus is actually...
Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie song?

[Zosebrina]

an old friend of mine used to sing feeee boooo woooaahhhh for feed the world xmas song!

That will smith song - Miami - "party in the city with the heaters on"
Jason derulo song "it's too hot to sleep, I've got the sh*ts on the floor"
en vogue don't let go " I always tell myself the stars are brown, oh what shame"

My Oh's little boy has started singing what I thought was the backstreet boys song backstreet back, except he sings something about a chicken satay instead! I think its from the just eat advert but I start singing along with him and sing the original version and he tells ME I'm singing the wrong lyrics! lol.

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille,
With four hundred children who crap in the field

If I were Lucille I'd be long gone as well.

My friend's DD used to sing Beyonce's 'I'm a singing lettuce'.

[Raahh]

Eurythmics-'There must be an Angel'.
In the line- 'overblown with bliss', my sister used to insist it was 'overgrown with fleas'.

There are a couple of UB40 ones- maybe it's not my hearing, just Ali Campbell's lazy diction

[vladthedisorganised]

Glad someone else heard 'I'm not from the Ruskin' Mrsray!
There is a Ruskin school of fine art in Oxford but I suspected it was a bit specific..

Bananarama - Robert De Niro - I though the chorus was: "Robert DeNiro's waiting, talking in tiger (talking in tiger - echo). Of course it was "talking Italian" but it doesn't sound like that and I didn't know who Robert DeNiro was.

Taylor Swift is always confusing us old people. I thought she was on about Starbucks as well. Also thought Twenty Two was Sweaty Too - I don't know about you, I'm feeling sweaty too.....

[LikeDylanInTheMovies]

And for over 20 years I thought Madonna started La Isla Bonita 'last night I dreamt of some dago

I thought that too. She's the Queen of reinvention and taboo breaking (or until Lady Gaga came along and rendered her pointless ) so perhaps it was part of an ill advised Bernard Manning phase.

[MardAsSnails]

Come on crazywriter, I thought everyone knew its a God Damn Arse Face

Also that Timbaland song - its too late to apologise. For ages I thought it was too late for Farmer Giles. Too late for what, I don't know, but i did feel sorry for poor old Farmer Giles.

[Mamadothehump]

Even Taylor Swift's Mum thought so!!!

😂 At "I'm a singing lettuce".

My friend thought "I predict a riot" was "I could get Tourette's, I could get Tourette's".

Tiny Dancer - "hold me close and tie me down sir."

"I think that I've found myself a cherryaid" cheerleader!

[BuonoEstente]

Proper howling at these 😊

[BuonoEstente]

Billie Jean, "but Ken is not my son

[PurpleRibbons]

These are hilarious! There was a radio phone in a few months ago of misheard lyrics. My favourite was Roy Orbison "I drove all night and crapped in your room"!
My mum thought "Cherish" by Madonna was called "Perish".

Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann's Earth Band causes a lot of confusion:

something *something by a doozhon

when it's ... by a deuce and a runner in the night.

*can't make out that bit at all.

[SlinkyVagabond]

Me and dh have had several "heated exchanges" about Blinded by the Light.
I sing "wrapped up like a douche"
And he sings wrapped up like a deuce.
Robert De Niro-we had a friend who instead of "talking Italian" sang "fucking Italians"

[TSSDNCOP]

"Let me photograph in you this lidocaine" stalks sings Adele in my head

[Bluetrews25]

The Killers, Mr Brightside, there's a bit that always sounds like 'paella......paella' or could it be 'viyella........viyella' ?
Just googled and it's 'I never......I never'

Every day's a school day, eh?

Lady Gaga, Alejassandro:

"She's got both hands in a bucket, and she won't look at you."

[Backingvocals]

Like a nine stone cowboy...

[greathat]

There's a Corrs? one where they sing about cooking sausages

[greathat]

Give me a reason, I'm making sausages

[PuppyMonkey]

Don't forget the ABBA classic:

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