AIBU to ask which lyrics you've been getting wrong?

[AIBUPODCAST]

Hello - Producer Amanda has just found out that a friend of hers thought the lyric to the first line of Brain Adams' Summer Of 69' was 'Got my first real sex dream' .... it's 'Got my first real SIX STRING' .. an easy mistake to make though...
So AIBU to ask for your similar lyrical mix-ups?

@TopEndChops I thought it was loser street too! Right up until I read your post

As a child I thought the devil had a sideboard (Bohemian Rhapsody) well we did so it seemed perfectly reasonable that the devil would to, possibly also containing various bottles of 3/4 full duty free that only came out at Christmas.

Mr Brightside
Until Saturday I was turning snakes into the sea
No I didn't know why either

Emerald I genuinely sang about silicone holders, too.
And I’ve posted before about Glenn Campbell’s Nine Stone Cowboy.

@sar302 me too! 😂 still sing that even though I now know it’s wrong

My love has got no money, he's got his trombolise...

I figured it had to be a musical instrument I hadn't heard of. Possibly a small trombone.

We caught the kids merrily singing away to four headed woman .....that would be more than a woman.

My DC like Katy Perry. I was merrily singing along to Chained to the Rhythm "dance dance dance to the disco drum" but it turns out disco drum is actually distortion. I prefer disco drum.

How Deep Is Your Love. The Bee Gees are NOT singing

' When you come to me on a submarine' or 'when the auction let us bid'

When DH was little he thought Spandau Ballet were singing 'I know there's budgies too'.

DS sang 'it's on my knee' to the Ting Tings That's Not My Name.

My friend thought U2 were singing about 'Shamu the mysterious whale'.

The song - cannot recall group "gotta let it go". I thought they were singing "Galileo" and was so pleased that people still had a classical education!!

You all need...

Raymond and Mr Timpkins! Bloody funny!

Become a come a come a come a come a chameleon up until a few years ago.

I think it makes more sense than Karma Chameleon.

Christmas, sorry!

Was convinced that the lyrics were 'are you waiting for the family to arrive, are you sure you've got the will to stay alive'. It made sense because everyone knows you get the best family rows at Christmas.

I was a big Madonna fan as a kid and for years thought the lyrics to Papa Don’t Preach were:

‘Papa don’t preach...I’m in a mood, y’see’

(Rather than ‘I’ve been losing sleep’)

I think I was about 30 when the penny dropped .

@ThatssomebadhatHarry

I went to school with a girl called Leanne. She thought it was "come a come a come a come 'ere Leanne"

My mother thought Katy Perry liked the taste of a girl’s ‘cherry chopstick’, and also why Eminem was ‘peeing in his closet’. I’m still baffled as to what she thought a cherry chopstick was

"all you women, independent, throw your pants at batman!"

These are hilarious..

My favourite one I read on here was Bat Out Of Hell:

Like a Cilla Black fan on a bike

We never sing the right lyrics now.

You can thank me later

My husband is so bad with this, he’s come out with some corkers.

One of my favs is definitely his version of the White Stripes:
‘I’m thinking bout your dog bell, when you gonna ring it, when you gonna ring it...’

I thought for ages that 'Forever in blue jeans' was 'Reverend Blue Jeans' - some sort of trendy spiritual leader? I also thought that 'Chains, chains, I'm all in chains' in 'My Coo-ca-choo' was 'Jane, Jane, my only Jane!' and that his girlfriend was obviously called Jane. My friend thought that 'You don't have to say you love me; just be close at hand' was 'You don't have to say I'm lovely, just because I am!' I still prefer her version!

I couldn't work out why he was so happy about finding himself a jellybear

Haha! My DH asked why there was a song about a cherry air! I see what he means tbh. Diction is everything! 😂😂

Shawn Mendes singing Stitches. For ages we thought he kept "farting onto my keys" instead of "falling onto my knees".

Jess Glynn singing about how the freckles on your arse spell out my name
