Songs ruined by misheard lyrics?

My husband is a bugger for changing lyrics to songs.
Most recently it was the Rag n Bone Mans 'Human' that he ruined for me.
He changed to words to 'I'm in a human casserole' instead of 'I'm only human, after all'
Before that it was the song that goes 'ciao, adios, I'm done' which became 'shower de horse, I'm done'
Now when I hear them I can't hear the originals!
What songs have been ruined for you?

DS2 thought the line from Message in a Bottle by The Police was:

Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion buttholes
Washed up on the shore.
😂

My Dad genuinely thought the song ‘Three Coins in a Fountain’ was ‘Three Knomes up a Mountain’ Hmm

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

  • except I heard 'Roddy Doyle' - I thought it was an odd tribute to an Irish writer Grin

Bring me a higher love ...no to me it will always be 'Bring me an iron lung'

"Midnight! I feel wasted" carolled my friend (midnight at the oasis)

"Just let me staple the vicar" said another friend (we are family)

"I believe in Malcolm, you septic thing" (you sexy thing)

The theme to the Big Bang Theory

I thought it was Mad Science History. It is Math Science History.

Also the song called Heathens, I always sing

All my friends are vegans

EvilDoctorBallerinaDuck · 02/11/2017 21:46

I blame a contestant on Come Dine With Me for that one justbin. He named his dessert that, and Dave Lamb (the narrator) and I sang in unison: "Eton trifle, Eton trifle".

My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air, and dreaming I'm a doctor - Head Over Heels, Tears For Fears.

My little sister insisted it was actually "My mother and my father used to beat me in bed, and scream that I'm adopted."

(She wasn't!)

This thread has made my day 😂

Ohh ooh
Show me heaven
Cover me
Deep in breakfast

Aforementioned kid sister was also responsible for nearly causing our mum to crash the car laughing, when she sang "I believe in the King of Kong" ( I believe in Kingdom come, from U2's I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.)

DobbyLovesSocks · 02/11/2017 21:52

This thread has cheered me up no end - thanks

@iklboo I laughed at loud at yours.

The only lyrics I mishear now are Eurythmics sweet dreams as I saw a poem on facebook about cheese: sweet dreams are made of cheese, who am I to dis a Brie. Cannot hear the song properly now #ruined

Ed Sheeren "last night you were in my room,
Now my bed sheets smell like poo"

And, from way back, Kim Wilde "View from a pig" instead of "View from a bridge"
