Lyrics you've gotten wrong

[swansrock4eva]

I could never work out why Neil Diamond said "foot long" in Crunchy Granola Suite. Then I realised it was "good Lord..."

misheard lyrics:

I blow bubbles when you are not near.

I think everyone had that one

 

[Mr X]

Tracy Chapman's 80's song "Fast Car"

Real lyrics "You've got a fast car"

Possible lyrics "You've got a fast ****"

Only heard Enrique Iglasius a couple of times. He has a song "Addicted"

(I think) real lyrics "Baby I'm addicted"

Possible lyrics "Baby I'm a di(khead"

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

I had a friend, who thought exactly the same. He took a lot of convincing, because James Reyne was throwing a beach ball around in the film clip.

Blink 182 - What's My Age Again?

Real Lyrics "I took her out, it was a Friday night, I wore cologne to get the feeling right"

My Lyrics "I took her out, it was a Friday night, I walked alone, to get the feeling right"

 

[Jabso]

The Ataris: Boys of Summer
I thought it was "I can't see you, your pants keep shining in the sun"
I think it's supposed to be "I can see you, your brown skin's shining in the sun"

"Polythene Pam"

Get a dose of her in jack-boots and Kilt
She's Phyllis Dyller when she's dressed to the hilt.

When I first started listening to Pearl Jam I got a heap of Vedder's lyrics wrong. Didn't help that he mumbled like a drunk.

The line is: "Jeremy spoke in class today"

The way I would sing it: "Gently spoken Cassidy"

I knew the song was about a kid shooting himself in class, so I figured the kids name was Cassidy and he was shy or 'gently spoken'.

princes 'little red corvette' i heard a guy at a party once singing 'get me a vet called brett'

Michael Jackson:

" get your dole cheque cashed at the post office, don't stop til you get enough"...

Kiss:

" I've been together but I'm nobody's fool, and I'm Shaun O' Something..."

Wings:

" Moll of Ken Tyre "

James Reyne:

" never give anyone the slightest notion, never showed us where the car was crashed "

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.."

And in Joni Mitchell's original, i always thought she was sying the PAID paradise......

 

[Klyntonius]

Hehehe, feel so much better reading incorrect lyrics the way I sung/sing them. My two brothers had some good ones.

Live - Lightning Crashes
correct "forces pulling from the centre of the earth again"
wrong "orson hoolemburger centre of the earth again" WHAT??

Oasis - Champagne Supernova
correct "someday you will find me, caught beneath the landslide"
wrong "someday you will find me, caught beneath the last line"

 

[TooFar]

The Pursuit of Happiness, I'm An Adult now.
I always thought the song was called, I'm on the dole now!

 

[Woodson]

Not my lyrics but lyrics that others can't stop laughing at >>

from Def Leppard's Multi-Platinum Hysteria album >> Armageddon It

After guitar solo >>>
Lyrics : Take it, Take It, Take It from me, I've got an itchy finger following me

Laughing lyrics : D(khead D(khead D(khead ......ect ect

 

[Rooosterboy]

Grease soundtrack, you're the one that I want

I thought it went:

"I've got shoes they're Death Defying and I'm losing my soul"

when it shoulda been
"I've got chills they're multiplying and I'm losing control."
Imagine how uncool I was when I got busted singing the wrong one out loud in the school yard, doh

 

[Contra Mundum]

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

There used to be a go-gos cover band in Melbourne called Alex the Seal!

The Ataris: Boys of Summer

i thought that song was called 'poision summer' not 'boys of summer'

And with Will Smiths new one, 'Switch' I thought he was singing 'Strech'
