Mishearing song lyrics

[Freeasabird76]

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

This Charming Man by Smiths-
"a jumped up pantry boy' became " a go-go country boy'

UB40- Arbatry ( cant even spell it?) Madonna became 'I'm a prima-donna'

Prefab Sprout- "Hot dog jumping frog, Albaquerque,' became " I love cookie"

Then of course we have Desmond Dekker with "me ears are alight!' But that was from the Maxell tape adverts in the 80s I think.

There was a classic clip of a news anchor in the US asking what a muff was because, she said, Whitney Houston sang "I'm shaving off my muff for you" 😂😂

As a Smiths fan, I’m ashamed to say I thought it was country boy and also “it’s monstrous (this man said), it’s gruesome” until a few weeks ago! X

My little girl has some blinders. Current favourite is -
Coldplay, A sky full of stars, she thinks it's "tear us a fart" instead of "tear us apart"

Oh I bloody love this, laughing now and have been laughing for years 😂

Looking in your eyes I see a pair of tights

@nadine90 LOL, I still think its says "it's monstrous, its gruesome'. Sounds exactly what Mozza would say, right? What even is it really?

Brown Girl in The Ring.

My very good chum of a very long time thought they said ......
"Old head wants a grunts eye"
(All their water's run dry)

Which still makes me laugh

I firmly believe that Alanis sings - "it's a death row hard on" and I refuse to believe otherwise.

I'm gonna runter you.

Brian Adams

😂

And that's all before Boney M have asked you to show them your motion - filthy pervs!

@HoneyWogan 😂😂😂 they were people of faith as well. Allegedly 😬

Reach out and touch me. I only learned a couple of years ago it was Reach out and touch faith.

My son when little was in the shower once, I heard him singing "I'm never warmer. I'm never warmer. I'm never warmer" Including key change 🤣

Glad I'm not the only one!

KD Lang - It doesn’t matter how many times I listen (just tried again) Can’t Stand Gravy

The Boxer - as my user name suggests I did not know why a horse was on Seventh Avenue. Neigh!

@TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue "I do declare, there were times that I was so lonesome I took some comfort there" 🐴😮

I always imagined a manchero to be a dark haired muscular Spanish man in a white shirt unbuttoned to the waist.
The ramblings of the 12 yr old girl's mind....

I suppose, if you know you're going to be on your own for quite a while, you might as well make good use of the time and put some laundry on!

What about Kate Bush and her waterproof tights?

Actually a very sensible choice if you know you're going out on the wiley, windy moors.

In the same way that boxers, darts players and gladiators have their own theme music when they come to the stage/arena, I've always thought that the chorus from The Boxer would be the perfect choice for 99% of politicians!

We gotta hold on, for what we've got. It doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not.

Yes, I was puzzled by that too! But thought maybe they did put walls around green hills 2000 years ago.

We used to sing the hymn 'Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven' quite often in school assembly. We mostly thought that we were inviting the King of Heaven to praise our souls- it did seem a bit arrogant, but if that's what the hymn said! A friend thought that the lines 'Praise Him for His grace and favour/ To our fathers in distress' were 'Praise Him for His grace and favour/ To our father in his dress'.

Showing my 90s misspent youth here...

Sister Sledge We Are Family "we're making love in a Femidom" (We're giving love in a family dose)

I thought that the line 'You and me, endlessly' in 'Groovin'' was about a threesome between 'You and me and Elsie'. And that 'Forever in Blue Jeans was about a trendy spiritual leader called 'Reverend Blue Jeans'. And that Simon and Garfunkel's Boxer had squandered his resistance, not for a pocketful of mumbles, but for a pocketful of marbles. A friend thought as a child that the song line '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!

And that Simon and Garfunkel's Boxer had squandered his resistance, not for a pocketful of mumbles, but for a pocketful of marbles.

Wow! Until about now, I always thought it was 'a pocketful of mung beans'!
