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?

I was convinced for years that it was "Had my first real sex dream" instead of "Had my first real six string" in the song "Summer of 69"

I was gently corrected LAST MONTH that it was six string.

Ruined it.

am loving this, two from me;
used to think forever in blue jeans was the Reverend Blue jeans Hmm and 'good king wenceleslas looked out' was 'good king wenceless last looked out' and always wondered what happened after he looked out that meant it was the last time he got to do it Blush

Bluelonerose · 02/11/2017 22:11

The new maroon 5 song. No idea what the lyrics are but I swear he sings "do do do do dooo build a shed for you" Grin

Bluelonerose · 02/11/2017 22:16

Another was when my dd asked if I was singing "your swede smells lovely" instead of "your sweet sweet lovin"

My world is rocked

Spidey66 Madonna is always singing about other people, in Ray of light - 'Anna Friel, Anna Friel, like I can't come home, Anna Friel'

PugwallsSummer · 02/11/2017 22:24

signandsingcarols · 02/11/2017 22:27

BillywigSting · 02/11/2017 22:29

Florence and the machine- your giving me sexy elephants (such sweet loving)

Piggyinthemidriff · 02/11/2017 22:31

Crying at Spidey66 😂. Papa don't preach... For ages I thought it was Babbadon Beach. Assumed it was somewhere in Wales...

ToEarlyForDecorations · 02/11/2017 22:32

You run around run around throwing that turtle on my knee.

I thought that was the lyric until I realised it was, 'throw that dirt all on my name'

vestedintern · 02/11/2017 22:32

I only ever hear "We're giving love in a Femidom" in Sister Sledge's "We Are Family".

But then I did work a very long time ago for the company that made the machines to make Femidoms, so perhaps I have them on the mind (if not anywhere else, thanks.)

LexieLulu · 02/11/2017 22:34

Mr brightside.

I honestly thought it said "open up my eagle eyes" (not taking into accounts how small eagle eyes are) - instead of eager eyes ☹️

I like eagle better 😂

HoobleDooble · 02/11/2017 22:36

Oh, I just died in your arms tonight. Must have been some kind of cheese.

alltoomuchrightnow · 02/11/2017 22:39

oh lord I"m crying at Bill Oddie and spluttered out my icecream.
My own misheard is Can't Stand Gravy (k d lang)

HoobleDooble · 02/11/2017 22:39

Madonna's La Isla Bonita;
Last night I dreamt of some Dago,
Young boy with eyes like potatoes Grin

alltoomuchrightnow · 02/11/2017 22:40

Hooble, a dear friend of mine was in that band (he hates them now!) Seeing him tomorrow night.. going to sing that line to him .That song haunts him as it gets played so much in pubs and restaurants.

kungfupannda · 02/11/2017 22:43

I also used to think that Good King Wencelass last looked out.

And that Macy Gray wore goggles.

I'm surprised some of my other ones haven't come up yet - they usually make an appearance on these threads.

Abba - called you last night from Tesco.

Anne Marie - shower the horse, I'm done.

That catching feels one - don't be afraid to catch films, films with me.

Son of a Preacher Man - Cousin Billy would take me walking. (Only found out that was wrong on the last MN lyrics thread!)

Cutting Crew - Ma! I just died in your arms tonight.
I thought it was some strange song about incest. Turns out it's just 'Ah!'

Rhythm is a dancer, it's a source of cancer.
Only found out that one was wrong a couple of years ago when it cameo the radio and I made some comment to DP about being surprised they still played it when it was so distasteful.

notsohippychick · 02/11/2017 22:45

*"my poo hole aches, with every breath you take"

Sting. Ruined.*

Tears of mirth!!!! 😂😂😂😂

HoobleDooble · 02/11/2017 22:46

That's brilliant Alltoomuch I can't hear it as anything else since my friend sang it one night years ago!

kungfupannda · 02/11/2017 22:46

Oh and Michael Jackson wasn't asking if Annie was okay - it was Eddie he was concerned about.
