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?

@SpinsterOfArts are you my mother?

Oh god
I have possibly made up my whole own song to Sean Paul’s “ get busy”

“ I’ve found pizza in ya body”
Marshmello’s silence

Have never lived that down

I have heard on the radio "Then I have a shower and compare them to you" (I think it's they don't have a shot when I compare them to you?!)

Also, "I make you bacon" instead of "I make you beg for it" but in my defence the next line is about breakfast in bed so it makes sense!!

A very common one, but they played Billy Ocean's When The Going Gets Tough on the radio the other day.

How could you not hear him singing "Go and get stuffed!" ?!

That probably dates me, though: does anybody even tell people to 'get stuffed' any more?!

@Seahawk80 your DH is very nearly right, it's "In the midnight hour"

House Of The Rising Sun:
"My mother was a tailor - SOLD my new blue jeans"

She's not a tailor, son, it's a clothes larcenist that she is.

Turns out it should be 'sewed'....

'Love lifts us up where we belong' , when I first heard it I thought it was The lift goes up......... can't recall where it was supposed to go!

Robert Palmer
Gonna have to face it you're a dickhead in love.

Actually improves the original!

My user name - an old one but a goodie.

Also kd lang ‘Can’t stand gravy’ rather than Constant Craving.

Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack - "Tonight I Sellotape my glove to you..."

Summer of 69 again

I always hear "Jimmy cliff and Jodie got married"

When it actually is Jimmy quit and Jodie got married

In Eltons John crocodile Rock...
Dreaming of a chevvy and an aubergine

@percheron67 OMG I’ve found my person! Me too, much to the amusement of my ex when I sang it out loud 😂

I used to sing "da Dee do da da ohhh" instead of "dirty Diana oh" by Micheal Jackson. That's one of many unfortunately

Save the whales, save the whales, save the whales........ meant to be Sail away, Sail away, Sail away!! Enya’s Orinoco Flow.

@emeraldshamrock "like the silly can holder" was how I thought it went

turning snakes into the sea. No I didn't know why either

What are the actual lyrics. I always sing this 😯

Was surprised Ed Sheeran was allowed to sing about his friend selling Coke in 'Castle on the hill'

He sells clothes...

Prince

In doves cry:

An ocean of violets in bloom
Apparently the next line is 'animals strike curious poses'

I thought it was 'and the most tri-curious poses'

I thought they were very sexually adventurous!!!!

Also Madonna on like a prayer where she sings 'let the choir sing', I used to sing laugh a kwaysee

Had no idea what it meant. I thought it was Latin or something 😯😯😯

I was 8 when Like A Virgin came out - I thought it was “Like A Third Year”

My Mum was singing ‘Wrecking Ball’ as ‘I came in like a rainbow!’ instead of ‘I came in like a wrecking ball!’ 😂 It’s all I hear whenever I listen to it now!
Also the line in Shaggy’s ‘It Wasn't Me’ where it says, ‘How could I forget that I had given her an extra key’ was, ‘how could I forget that I had given her an inch of me’ 😂
Probably got loads more gems from my Mum, I’ll no doubt be back with more!

I also thought Mr Brightside lyrics were Turning Snakes into the Sea, until I saw the lyrics last weekend - it’s turning saints into the sea

*where it goes

Stand on the rug. (Band on the run!)
