Mis-heard lyrics...

[Raahh]

with apologies if this has been done a zillion times before....

Was discussing this at work for a quiz, and I could only think of one...

'I'm over grown with bugs and fleas" in stead of ' I'm thrown and over blown with bliss' It was what my sister used to sing

(There must be an Angel, Eurythmics).

I know there must be hundreds of really good famous ones out there, but when pushed can never think of any...

over to you!

Overheard in Doctors surgery(!!!) small child singing 'I'm Honey, honey honey'
'mummy, why is the lady honey?'

Not sure 'I'm horny, horny , horny' is suitably airplay for a doctors surgery any way.

lol! kids mis-heard lyrics are great! and inappropriate lyrics are some thing else-

"suicidal! suicidal!" 5 year old ds in middle of Tescos

"the devil is 6! the devil is 6" (the pixies)- ds again, this time in a school assembly!

No misheard, but misunderstood...

"Does he really have a hole in his logic?? "

"What's a logic? "

DD had to learn a Christmas Carol

"little old Jesus lays down his sweet head"

I can see Deidre now Lorraine has gone....

Rock the Gas Board, Rock the Gas Board (well it made sense to me when I was 6 or whatever) instead of Rock the Casbah.

Also, there is a Donovan song called The Retired Writer in the Sun, which I always thought was The Retard Writer in the Sun

my little bro used to sing 'sing banana, sing banana, sing banana to the king of kings' at sunday school instead of 'hosannah' - he soon after had his tonsils and adenoids out - poor thing couldnt hear properly. Still took the piss our of him though

Always sung "Cilla Black fan on a bike" instead of "Silver Black Phantom bike" in Meat Loafs Bat out of Hell!! I did knew they weren't the proper lyrics, but at the time couldn't work out what they really were and my version fitted

Am laughing out loud at Rock the Gas Board

May I offer some old favourites:

"Israeli men! Halleluljah Israeli men" by the Weather Girls

And "Like a nine stone cowboy"

Message withdrawn

pmsl at "like a nine stone cowboy"

An ex-colleague of mine swore blind that Madonna wanted to "dress you up in nylon" (sweaty!)

dress you up in nylon- brilliant!!

"Daddy's gonna buy you a dream McGlintoo" (wtf is a McGlintoo???) instead of "Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to"

in Paul Young song Family Man or whatever it was called.

dd aged 4 after we had been to the sound of music, on her own in her room with me listening at the door

"Oh a deer, an email deer"

oh and

"Money money money, must be funny, in a Richmond world"

(not far from the truth actually!!)

I'm lost in Munich (music) - overhead friend of mine singing along to this in a bar years ago

somuchtobits, I'm giggling at your mcglintoo. My friend always used to sing "tall and tanned and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema gaswaggy". It makes me laugh that she got "Ipanema" but not "goes walking".

Ding dong merrily on high,
In heav'n the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing.
Gloria, Hosanna (in excelsis!)Lives in Chelsea.....

This has now become a tradition twixt the siblings to sing their hearts out at the choral Mass in Clarendon Street on Christmas Day, but inserting the wrong lyrics.

My friend used to sing "I love McKeegan" instead of "alive and kicking" (U2), she thought it was a football song

Until recently thought that line in Abba's 'Supper Trooper' was 'I was sick & tired of everything when I called you last night from Tesco' ......apparently it's Glasgow but if you listen to it I swear they sing Tesco !

In 'whistle for the choir'
...can never be too pretty,tell me your name,is it Aveline?.. made me think of Aveline(sp?) Boswell in 'Bread' until I realised my mistake!

DS1 (2.5yrs) sings along to the Teddy Bears' Picnic, as follows:

"Watch them, see their underwear..."

Has anyone seen this?? This girl had a big problem with misheard lyrics:

Ken Lee

Classic

Ah, pooter, I used to sing Raisin, Raisin (Praise him, praise him)
