dh and I were watching Alanis Morissette 'You Oughta Know' video.

He turned to me and said a friend of his thought the line:

"the cross I bear that you left me with"

was actually:

"the cross-eyed bear that you left me with"

PMSL imagining this

Anyone got any others??

Midnight at the Oasis

There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer, prancer
And you can be my sheik

or as I sing "And you can be my sheep"

snowleopard · 15/07/2007 22:01

PMSL at these especially "one-sausage tea"

Profyaffle, that's pretty much what I thought that Iggy Pop song said too... what does it say?

When we were little my sister was sure the John Lennon song that goes

"One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside"

actually went:

"One thing you can't hide
Is when you triple in size"

Sister Sledge - We are Family - I thought they sang "We're giving love in a Femidom" when it's actually "We're giving love in a family dose"...

PS A Femidom was that female condom they sold in the early 90s!

Like a nine stone cowboy...

Oh and one I heard on the radio and that still makes me laugh:

the Weather Girls singing "Israeli Men! Halleluja Israeli Men!"

PinkPotterWeasleys · 15/07/2007 22:08

ROFPMLOL So loud I'm surprised I didn't wake dd! I haven't got any different ones (used to sing "piece of meat" though) but please keep them coming!

AraFanellaFigg · 15/07/2007 22:13

pmsl at some of these..

Can add..

"young girl with eyes like potatoes" - La Isla Bonita

and

"A note man, turned and he ate" instead of "an old man, turned 98" - Ironic by Alanis Morissette

AraFanellaFigg · 15/07/2007 22:16

And, not a misheard lyric as such, but my sister always used to sing "hey, there, you with the sad face, come up to my place and have it off"

instead of "live it up"

Once heard someone on the radio admitting they thought a Cliff Richard song was "Disco Bunny" ( it's so funny......)

Donuts make my brown eyes blue.
Actual lyric:Don't it make my brown eyes blue.
(Crystal Gale)

Knee deep in doughnuts, children at your feet.
Actual lyric: Lady Madonna, children at your feet.
(The Beatles)

You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille,
four hundred children and a crop in the field.
Actual lyric:You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille,
four hungry children and a crop in the field.

"I know you know I'm not from Nebraska"

It took me ages but now I'm PMSL
Did she not wonder why she was doing the actions?

Katy44 · 17/07/2007 14:29

Can I just point out it didn't take me an hour - only just read this, honest!

lauzie · 17/07/2007 14:36

Well I'm still no further forward... hungry hedgehogs?!

1Troll · 17/07/2007 14:37

Was it ooooh Gary Davies or Bruno Brookes that use to do this as a feature on their Radio One prog in the 80s? I recognise a lot of these 'lyrics' from that slot!

indignatio · 17/07/2007 14:39

"I love Cecile" - song by Fun Boy 3 is apparently "Our lips are sealed" - honestly those singers clearly couldn't ennunciate properly.

kokeshi · 17/07/2007 14:48

Lauzie...Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. So cute! I like that version

kneazlechick · 17/07/2007 14:55

Not in the same league as some of these but I used to think that Little Jack Horner was eating "crisps and pie". I'd never heard of "Christmas pie". I was about 4 at the time.

HappyDaddy · 17/07/2007 15:06

I saw a spoof video once, of a Destiny's Child song - Independent Women.

The car I'm driving, Alf Garnett
The house I live in, Alf Garnett

I depend on Meat.

Go and listen to it, you'll forever hear the above! .
