To ask you to share your children's misheard lyrics?

[ladyjadey]

A few years ago I was driving and listening to Ballroom Blitz by The Sweet. My DD1 announced she loved the song and was singing along heartily. It was about halfway through the song when I realised she was singing

"And he fell into a bowl of mix"

I cried laughing.

DS told me recently that she had been listening to Alanis Morrisette and her DD was singing along then she asked why did he give her a cross-eyed bear?

As in " and I'm here to remind you.........of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me.....you oughta know!"

Please indulge me and share your giggles

DD aged 6 was singing along to that Adele song that goes " we both know we ain't kids no more" but her version was "we both know we ain't fish no more" .

Same DD's nativity a few years ago, she was practising 'Away in a Manager'. Instead if ' the cattle are lowing' she sang 'the cat it is lonely'!

Dionne Warwick - "Say a little prayer for you" became "save a little bread for you".

My youngest two jump about the house shouting 'Hey max arena!'

They will not have it that it's macarena.

When I was a lot younger than I am now I used to belt out the Whitney Houston song "Didn't we almost have it all" except I was convinced that the lyrics were "Didn't we almost have it off"
Mortified!

[TupsNSups]

Not really misheard song lyrics but My GM was telling me how mortified she was when my Mum was a child and was asked to sing 'Mary had a little Lamb' in church.

Instead of the proper song she sang:

Mary had an little Lamb,
She milked it with a spanner.
The milk came out in shilling tins,
And little ones a tanner.

Apparently that is what my GF used to sing to her

"Didn't we almost have it off"

I wanna be adored by the stone roses- I wanna be a dog!

My mum always tells me about my misheard song lyric moments when I was little. I really embarrassed her a few times.

One of them was in the school choir at Christmas, people and parents in the area used to come to see us sing in the church next to my school. All the other kids were nicely singing "we'll all have some figgy pudding..." Whilst I very enthusiastically sang loudly above everybody else "we'll all have some FRIGGIN' PUDDING!"

[Mcchickenbb41]

Christina perri - jar of hearts. Dd used to sing jar of farts. She genuinely thought that was the lyric

[Timeforteaplease]

Away in a manger -
"The little lord cheeses asleep on the hay."

[SynchronisedCatsBumming]

DC is 4, and we have an Uptown Funky Duck (Up town funk you up) and he insists the words to the World in Union chorus is 'as we climb, we get dusty knees' (as we climb to reach our destiny)

[finlayargyle]

When my dd was about 5 she always started Taylor Swifts 32 as 'it feels like the perfect night to dress up like hamsters'.

Totally logical at that age!

[Blossomdeary]

"A Wayne in a manger, be grateful in bed"!!

[Teaistheanswer]

A long while ago, Tom Jones and Stereophonics I think 'Mama told me not to come', my (little then) DS asked me what the man had done wrong as he was singing "Tell me off". Didn't fancy explaining to an innocent toddler that it was "Turn me on" so just pleaded ignorance!!

My son came home from school and said they'd been singing Jesus wants me for a zombie, and wouldn't have it that it was sunbeam.

[wasonthelist]

I was a bit horrified when DD (then six) came home and started singing LMFAO's - Sexy and I Know It, but her version was "I'm sixty and I know it"

[oidara]

I have been a lurker for months now, and finally bit the bullet and made an account today because I had to share this...

The other day I overheard my 4-year-old son getting into the Christmas spirit and singing away to himself in the bathroom:

"Ding dong merrily on high, despite the angels singing"!!!

I love the image of everyone on high with their hands over their ears because the angels are so tone deaf!

[tellmewhenitsover]

These are funny! I don't have a lyrics one but on the shopping list once my dd had written down chocolatey Clair's

[bookworm14]

My DH grew up near Portsmouth. As a child he thought the Beatles were singing "she's got a ticket to Ryde" (as in the town on the Isle of Wight )!

[bookworm14]

Also when we were kids we had a tape of songs by the Seekers. One of them had the line "The time will come when every man will be as one", which my sister heard as "the time will come when every man will be a swan"!

[EElisavetaOfBelsornia]

"So you can keep me, inside the pocket of your ripped jeans, holding me close until MY EYES BLEED 😮😮😮 I would never let you go..."

[RhodaBorrocks]

*Was

I was a bit horrified when DD (then six) came home and started singing LMFAO's - Sexy and I Know It, but her version was "I'm sixty and I know it" *

DS came up to me at age 5 and sang "Heeeeey, sixty lady!" (Gangnam Style)

Reader, I did NOT correct him. 3.5 years on and he's now mortified he sang the word 'sexy' AND go it wrong!

[RhodaBorrocks]

Bold fail!

[ThePigeonBroadband]

DD thought They Don't Care About Us by Michael Jackson was "she's a parallelogram, they don't really care about us"

[ryderandthepups]

We have Letter B instead of Let It Be...
