How about a 'Your best misheard song lyrics' thread

[grouchyoscar]

Probably been done to death before but it's good fun

So for all those moments of 'Belezbub has a devil for a sideboard' I'll start with

Alanis Morrisette - You Oughta Know

'And I'm here to remind you of that cross eyed bear that you sent to me'

The Stone Roses, "Love Spreads":

Turned out "I'll have a cheese and a baked bean" was in fact:

"Im hiding in the trees with a picnic"

Not desperately funny but I have just discovered that Sum 41 "In too deep" say "instead of going under" and not I'm scared of going under like I thought.

"He's a right one! He's a right one!"

(Instead of Eton Rifles - The Jam)

That Beyonce song...Crazy Life

" I was talking to my friend Jo Whiley"

Ok, I admit, Jo Whiley mentioned on her show that alot of people think thats what it says, but now I can't hear it any differently.

My friend always thought MC Hammer was singing "King Tut Says" rather than "can't touch this".

She also sings "Look for the bear of sesame, the simple bear of sesame, forget about your troubles and your wife"..

Crazy in Love - I heard it as 'Sami Hyypia save me right now' instead of 'Got me hoping you'll save me right now' (wtf was I on?? I know I'm a Liverpool supporter, but still...)

Church of the Poison Mind - I misheard 'step out like a God-found child' as 'step out like a Gotham child' and wondered why he was singing about Batman...

DH insists that Gladys Knight's Licence to Kill is actually Licence to Kilt (and he does the 'piece of meat' thing with Every Time You Go Away too...)

And we both misheard Bittersweet Symphony as 'can't change my mole'...

2shoes

I thought prince was red spherical dress too

my grandad was the BEST at mishearing lyrics

Oasis wonderwall was "gonna be the one at sainsburys"

I always wondered why Sinead O'Connor was so desperate to "eat my dinner in a fancy red sarong"

if your heart's been broken, a red sarong over dinner always helps.

that I thought it was "Apple pie and cheese" too Tequilamockingbird - your DD is not alone

Can't believe I'm admitting to this...
Nelly - Take a ride with me...
'Must be the Money' as 'Funky Chicken'
I dont' know...don't ask
Hubby who'd i'd just met and was the one to correct me still married me though-fool!
Think he just delighted in the humiliation!

Just literally cried laughing trying to read some of these to DP! Thanks everyone

My contribution:
Nothing compares to you - Sinead O'Connor
The line says 'but nothing I say nothing can take away these blues' and I herd ' but nothing I say nothing can make the willies move'

Also know who sum 41 are and made me LOL

Bronze - I've only just realised it's not "I want to be your dog". (Stone Roses, I wanna be Adored) I thought it was a lesson in subservience - and believed that for nearly 20 years.

A Town Called Alice

Littlepeanut - they were my words to Lord of the Dance too!!

La Isla Bonita - I used to sing "chocolate goolies, island breeze" Should be "tropical the island breeze"

Also Sister Sledge "You give me love and a femidom". I actually still sing this because I don't know the real lyrics. Would anyone care to enlighten me please

"should i give up or should i just keep chasing penguins"

listen!

When I was little, I thought "the Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we" was, "the Wombles of Wimbledon, common are we" - I thought they were proclaiming their down-to-earthness, I had no idea there was a green space in Wimbledon (other than the tennis courts).

A friend of mine heard the Simon and Garfunkel song which has " a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue" as "a come-on from the horse on Seventh Avenue" when he was younger....

"We're giving love in a family dose" - apparently. I thought it was Femidom too. (They never caught on did they.)

I thought the wombles were common too

me too, re Wombles, Awake. A class thing or something? Being common... praps it goes with all that collecting of rubbish

DP thought that goodbye girl by squeeze contained the line "i looked around to find her budgie'd gone".

Karma Police I thought was Come Up Paul Ince.

ROFL - another one here who thought the Wombles were self deprecating little animals
