Mishearing song lyrics

[Freeasabird76]

Just listened to Beyonce-texas hold emto have genuinely believed she was singing "Fuck Alexa" 😂.Anybody else got lyrics wrong?

Couldn't not hear (after weeks of driving in Europe so lots of radio) the song about the Chantilly Hills (Sia - chandelier)

Me too!

As we approach Easter I'll write this, again. 'There is a green hill far away without a city wall' I could never understand why a green hill would need a city wall, not realising that in this context 'without' means outside a city wall!

A song regularly heard in a nightclub in the 80s had the line 'Shake your B O D Y' and my friend was sure it was 'Shake your P45'.
She also once said that Louis Armstrong was the first man on the moon.

Green day - boulevard of broken dreams - I wore cologne I wore cologne

Blink 182 - whats my age again - I walk alone, to get the feeling right

right lyrics, wrong songs!

A long time ago, at Sunday School commonwealth pageants I was desperate to live in Australia due to “Australia’s sunlit ostriches”

(The first line of their national anthem, ‘Australia’s sons let us rejoice ‘ before they updated it to ‘Australians all…’)

I hear it as "kiss your carpet knife..." 😆

It's much clearer on the original song, but for some reason, the extract of Chubby Checker's Let's Twist Again that was used by Jive Bunny really makes "I'm gonna sing my song" sound like "I'm gonna sh!t myself" - listen at 0:23!

Paolo Nutini - Last Request

Lay down inside me…. Lay down beside me 😂😂

Meat Loaf, two out of three.

I’m crying I suppose instead of tears… I’m crying icicles instead of tears

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse Of The heart:
"We're living on the powdered egg and giving off farts"

Mine are both Maroon 5. "I've got to move my jaguar" for "I've got the moves like Jagger" and "Radio Aileen- she is all I see" for "She is all I need- she is all I see" in "Sunday Morning". Always wondered why he made such a point of looking at the radio. I mean, sure it's a physical object but surely the emphasis is on listening to it?

I always assumed the strong beliefs in Free from Desire were a "strong release" rather than a trombolese. Given the rest of the lyrics and the era, I just assumed it was to do with being ok with not being rich because he had all this joy on the dance floor ... or some seriously powerful ejaculation.

Always knew it was "gavotte" in You're So Vain though. I've always heard the g. My favourite misheard I've seen on line is "smack my beach hut" for Smack my Bitch Up. The misheard lyrics round on early NMTB used to be very amusing too.

Well my son decided that the chorus to Pearl Jam's Go isn't "No, don't go on me" but instead: -

"Gooooo... stomp a wombat."
I can't hear it any other way now and it's one of my favourite songs.

You’re So Vain, isn’t it ‘as you watched yourself cavort’?

My little boy, many years ago, when going through a ninja phase was singing along to Robbie Williams 'I'm loving Ninjas instead'.

I can't unhear it now, even though the title is "Jar of Hearts", the way it is sung sounds like "Jar of Farts"!!

It does!

I was just about to say this one too!!

I should have added a link before, but if you listen from 2:05, it's clear as day: "Give me a feckin' turnip"

And what on earth has the wife of a postman got to do with anything?!

So showing my age now when I was in my early teens I was a really big fan of Two Tone. Particularly The Selecter with the great Pauline Black. I was listening to their song Three Minute Hero on the radio in the car one day with my mum driving and singing along to it. My mum then pipes up why is there a song about feeling someone's earhole?- what she heard was feeling his earhole...I wanna be feeling his earhole... A classic I will always remember.

Colin is my boyfriend. I didn’t know Taylor Swift dated someone called Colin. And he gets up to some weird stuff.

Barry Manilow, Mandy “when you kissed me and stopped me from shaving”

And New York City’s “I’m Doing Fine Now” sounds like I’m Doing Time Now”.

I got my first real sex dream (Summer of 69)
I'm blue, if I was green I would die (Blue)

Not misheard but misinterpreted - listening to We Didn't Start the Fire as a teenager and seeing how many of the historical references I recognised. Much puzzling over the inclusion of the 'space monkey mafia'.

My very favorite isn't mine but one posted on a previous thread where someone's toddler kept asking for the 'dragon song' which ultimately turned out to be the classic 'I've got to move my dragon, got to move my dragon...'

One that I didn’t realise until recently (embarrassingly)

Jesse’s Girl

i play alone at the charades (I literally thought he played the game charades alone because he only wanted to play with Jesse’s girl)

instead of I play ALONG with the charade

I used to sing seven or eleven state guards watching you, not snake eyes! (Ace of Spades - Motorhead)

I took The Strangers Golden Brown as "lay me down, with my mad cheer ons"!!! Always wondered why someone would be cheering him madly for lying down!

Gotta have faith is always gotta have a shave... But I do that one on purpose! Sorry GM!!! 🤣🤣🤣
