Lyrics you've gotten wrong

[benny's buddy]

This has probably been done before but I thought I'd try it anyway.

Let us know the actual lyrics and what you thought they were.

A lot of ppl think that 'I like love' song is saying 'Hollywood', for some reason.

 

[catattack]

I've done it heaps of times, but off the top of my head I wouldn't be able to pick them out.

Where do we start with Aussie Crawl/James Reyne songs ?

 

[Portmagpies]

For years I thought Michael Jackson was singing

'Show 'em what's f***y...'

in Beat It. It never dawned on me that you couldn't say that on commerical radio or television. I eventually realised he was actually saying 'funky.'

HAHA! In the song 'Beautiful People', where they repeat 'people', I thought they were saying beach ball!

Also when I was a kid, the GoGo's 'Our Lips Are Sealed', I thought they were singing 'Alex The Seal'

And recently.....Good Charoltte's song 'Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous', I was forever singing 'Lights Out for The Rich & The Famous'...I actually think my version is better

A lady rang up a radio station to be caller 7 to a name a song and she said Bruce Springsteen - Bridge in Disguise instead of Brilliant Disguise. Unfortunately she missed out on the prize.

 

[Jeffers]

the bit in One week by Barenaked Ladies that goes "Chickety China The Chinese Chicken"

I always thought he was saying Chicken Vagina the Chinese Chicken

 

[lioness]

Song: Surfin' U.S.A
Artist: Beach Boys

The real lyrics were:
Huarachi sandals too

But I misheard them as:
Her raunchy sandals too


Got that from the 'Kiss This Guy' site........I know heaps of people who've mistaken that same lyric. And this one made me giggle:

Song: I Get Around
Artist: Beach Boys

The real lyrics were:
My buddies and me are gettin real well known
Yeah the bad guys know us and they leave us alone

But I misheard them as:
My buddies are mean, they're gettin' meat well done
The bad guys know this and they leave us alone

 

[lenny&carl]

I can see clearly now, Lorraine has gone.

 

[Kid Dynamite!]

Michael Jacksons "The Way You Make Me Feel"

His lyrics: The way you make me feel, you really turn me on, you knocked me off my feet, my lonely days are gone.

My lyrics: The way you make me heal, you really turned me good, you knocked me off my feet, while only days I could.

Am I Right? Misheard Lyrics and Song Parodies

Many of the mistakes are silly but there are some classics too.

I like the sections on Band Name Origins and the Stupid Band Names.

 

[Richmondfan#1]

Drain the Blood - The Distillers

I misheard "All my friends are murdered" and thought it was "All my friends are Buddha's". I really don't know.

[Docker_Brat]

Gave my girlfriends lad a Ramones CD for Xmas and played it in the car on the way home.

Lyric in Cretin Hop: "4-5-6-7 All good cretins go to heaven". GF thought it was "4-5-6-7 orthapaedics go to heaven".

[Koala]

Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters

real lyrics - one more indecent accident

what I thought - my morning tea's an accident

 

[Lensen]

When I first heard the Counting Crows version of "Big Yellow Taxi", I thought it was saying "they paved paradise, to put up a f***ing light.."

 

[P_D]

*prepares to be humiliated*

Beyonce Knowle's 'Crazy in Love', the part where she sings:

Got me lookin' so crazy right now...

sounds EXACTLY like "Sammy Lukis, raise your right hand" rofl

 

[Bomber Spirit]

A couple I've misheard:

The Corrs Breathless
The actual lyrics: Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
What I heard: Go on, go on, come on leave me Bradley

From Wild Wild West from Escape Club - was a hit about 15 years ago, featuring a bizarre filmclip with disembodied arms and legs flapping around.
The actual lyrics: Ronnie's got a new gun
What I heard: Ronnie's got some chewing gum

 

[Portmagpies]

Just remembered this classic...

Was at a club when night when The Prodigy's 'Smack My Bitch Up' came on.

This doofus was running aroung taking snapshots with an 'air camera' singing 'Snap my picture, snap my picture...'
