Did they really sing.......

[Milims]

Inspired by ocailleagh.......It seems that I'm not the only one who thought that Anastacia was singing about a no good chucklebrother!
My friends daughter was convinced she sang about a car at the end of a plane - not calm at the end of the day, and my daughter sang "paint my shoes" for "paid my dues!"
Oh and I just remembered the puzzled look on my sons friends face when he thought "I love Paris every morning" was "I eat carrots every monring"
So what lyrics have you all misheard? They don't have to be Anastacias - although she does seem to be the mistress of misheard!

[ocailleagh]

I'm *always* mishearing lyrics and stuff! And until just now, I didn't realise that I'd misheard that song!

The Lightning Seeds did a song called Sugar Coated icebergs and I caught my friend singing 'sugar coated iced potatoes' when the line was 'sugar coated iceberg tastes so...'

I'll have to wait until my husband comes home as I'm sure he'll remember loads of lyrics that I've misheard! He's always correcting me...

The real line is "you no good takin' brother"
But the Chuckle brothers are characters in a really aweful kids TV program - so I guess it would be quite an insult to call someone a no good Chuckle brother!

Remember the song Caribbean Queen can't remember who sang it now well my sister was adamant it was "Carrots are Free" mind you she was only little lol

I once heard a wee boy of about 3 belting out that Elton John song at the top of his voice...'Are you READEEEEEEE? Are you ready for love, LIKKLE MAN'.....bless him, I think it sounds better than the original.

My SIL (pure Glaswegian) always thought that 'Away In A Manger' was called 'A Wean In A Manger'.....(Wean (pronounced Wayne) is a slang term for a child, in case anyone is totally lost...)

even though the darkest days, be them thick or thin, always someone marches on, here beneath my skin, constant gravy, has always been... kd lang. until i was 16 i thought it was a song about her love of the brown stuff.

As a child I wondered about Mrs Murphy as in "Surely Good Mrs Murphy shall follow me all the days of my life" (the 23rd Psalm - goodness and mercy).

And I wondered about Queen’s ‘Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard’

Misheard lyrics are often called 'mondegreens', after a old Scots song about a rascal who shot 'Lord Randall and Lady Mondegreen' (laid him on the green)

Found this link to articles by Jon Carroll who collects them. http://www.sfgate.com/columnists/carrol ... eens.shtml

I think I have posted this on 'ish before

From Seal's 'kiss from a rose'

"to me your like a borne addiction, that I can't deny" became, "to me your like a p0rno dictionary, I can't deny".... which still makes more sense to me.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Parallel Universe

Real lyrics : "Kill the pressure, it's raining on... Salted cheeks"

I always wondered why he was singing about salty cheese... though the Chili's lyrics are often abstract anyway!

[John Headstrong]

my wifes one is

Micheal jackson "the chairlifts of my soul"

real lyrics are "the child is not my son"

From 'back for good' by Take That
"got a picture of you beside me, got your lipstick Mark, still on my coffee cup"


From 'how deep is your love" Bee Gees
"From the bottom of my ferrets hole" should be "from the bottom of my very soul"

From 'Alfie' by the devine comedy
"just like glasses comfrey on the NHS" for years I thought that glasses of comfrey was a medical treatment

you got the love by source, in my head even though I know it's not right their line "Master, Make me new" becomes "masturbate me new".
"Occasionally
I call up Master make me new
You got the love
I need to see me through "

it sort of makes sense...

For the Pigeon Detectives - Take Her Back, my sister and I used to run around (at work...) singing "tiggle her!" (ie. tickle her)... but I think we knew what the words were really...
