Anybody who listened to the Coodabeen Champions a few years ago may recall 'Mountain Tops', which is the name they gave to mistaking the lyrics of a song. Have you got any to share...

My personal faves are:

She moves in mysterious ways (u2): 'Shamu the mysterious whale'

The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind (Bob Dylan): 'The ants are my friends, theyre blowin' in the wind'

Lucy in the sky with diamonds (the Beatles): 'Lucy in disguise with lions'

You can't plant me in your penthouse (Goodbye Yellowbrick Road - Elton John): 'Your cat can't pee in your penthouse'

I'll never be your beast of burden (Rolling Stones): 'I'll never be obese, Roberta'

I like it here with my childhood friend (Who Can It Be Now? - Men At Work): 'I like it here with my chocolate phlegm'

'Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong?' (Abba): 'Take your teeth out, tell me what's wrong'

And of course, who could forget Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit':

REAL LYRICS:

With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now entertain us

SOMEONE HEARD THEM AS:

With the lights out, Mrs Davis
Here we are now, enter day-nurse
I feed two pigs in containers
Here we are now, enter day-nurse


Funny how some of the amended lyrics are actually better!! Post any you know of. There should be a lot more from Nirvana's lyrics, not to mention........you know who! :D
 
Here are a selection of great hits....

Here are a few tunes to keep everybody singing to the wee hours of the morning.....

Cheap wine and the three day growth (Cold Chisel) instead it's become - Cheap wine and the three-legged goat.

I have to give Jimeoin credit for this one......Real words: Don't go out tonight, because it's bound to take your life, there's a bad moon on the rise. His words - Don't go out tonight because it's bound to take your life, there's a bathroom on the right.

The next couple are from my dad......Treaty yeah (repeated) (Yothu Yindi). His words - 3am (repeated).

Also, I'm every woman (I think it was Whitney Houston but who really cares). His words - Climb every mountain.

They keep coming....Pardon me roy, is that the chattanooga-choo-choo. Instead we have - Pardon me roy, is that the cat that chewed on your shoes.

I left my heart in San Francisco - new words - I left my harp in San Francisco.

Neighbours....everybody needs good neighbours. Now it's - Neighbours, filthy, stinking, dirty, rotten neighbours.

There you go, the hits that roll out at karaoke nights....just don't ask my family.....;)

LOL - I've also heard 'Cheap wine and a chiko roll!'

Actually, I could do with either right now!

Instead of a chiko roll Waltzing, how 'bout this form of food incorporated into a classic.....An oldie, but a goodie...

It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock and roll.......(ACDC). Now commonly known as - It's a long way to the shop, if you want a sausage roll.

Ask your Dad what he thinks of Rodney Rude. Both of these bastardisations appear on Rude albums. The Chattanooga one is one of my favourites :

'Pardon me Roy, is that the cat the chewed your new shoes.'
'Feline. You're cat was drunk on red wine.

Doo doo.'

My dad loves Rodney Rude. He told me to ask you if you wanted a bike for Christmas?? He did tell me the story behind that question but I still feel that it's a private joke!:rolleyes:

Well, if your Dad pivotted at the mention of the Rodney, then he's got taste. Bad taste, perhaps, but taste nonetheless! [/B]

Don't say that too loud Mobben, he may hear you!! If he hears that somebody thinks his jokes or songs are funny I'll never shut him up!!
 
Jimi Hendrix sang the lyric (from Purple Haze I think), "'scuse me while I kiss the sky" which is one of the most commonly mistaken ones, interpreted as "'scuse me while I kiss this guy".

There is a website based on this commonly misinterpreted lyric, called www.kissthisguy.com or something like that. It features a whole heap of oft-mistaken song lyrics.
 
An old friends little brother used to sing "Dirty Knees, Dump The Sheep"...of course sung to the tune of the classic AC/DC ditty 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

Another one of his was "I wanna rock and roll all nite, and bloody everyday" (KISS)

where's wally?
 
From some song called Blinded by the light...

Real lyrics something like "Wrapped up like a Medusa..."

Misinterpreted variation...

"Wrapped up like a douche bag...."
 
You are most probably right WWB!

At any rate, I've found 2 misinterpretations of the same song which I only vaguely know!

I've heard 'Cheap wine and three gay goats'!

Also, you guys know a song by REM called Sidewinder sleeps tonite?

I'm not even exactly sure what the real line is....I think it is:

"don't even try to wake her up" - at the start of the chorus. One replacement lyric i've heard though is:

"come to Jamaica...man":D Could be anything really, its a damn hard lyric to understand!
 
For a hell of a long time, I thought that smells like teen spirit had the line
"Here we all have hepatitis" Instead of
Here we are now, entertain us
It goes well with the next line too
I feel stupid and contagious

I didn't realise what the real words were until I heard someone elses version a year or so ago Tori Amos' I think. Heh. I'm really bad with song lyrics though, I always have been.

Hawfawnchick .... my mate's band used to do a cover of "Long way to the top" ..... except the chorus was always

"It's a long way to the Cross, if you want to f*ck a mole" ..... for what it's worth !!!
 
well spotted CJH

That old chestnut is a classic !

In fact its so bad that Radio Stations use it for 'guess the lyric' type competitions

Its a doozy.

Speaking of Steve Miller Band - What were all their songs about anyhow ?

Surely one of the most incomprehensible and pretentious bands ever I reckon.

cheers
 
The first line of our very own national anthem mistaken by a 9 year old:

"Australians all love ostriches"
 
A friend thought that the words "Chiquitita tell me what's wrong" were: "Put your feet up and tell me what's wrong".

Same friend to the Easy Beats Wedding Ring honestly thought that the words " All you want is a wedding ring" were: "All you are is a wet dream"
