Misheard Lyrics? - Blu-ray Forum

Uniquely · 03-04-2009, 05:37 PM

We've all done it....... listened to a song and sung the words we THOUGHT we were hearing..... only to have a friend start laughing and correct us.

What's the funniest lyrics miscue you've ever heard?

I once had a friend who thought

"Big ol jet airliner.... don't carry me too far away"

was

"we gonna jam in a lighthouse"

www.kissthisguy.com is also a great place to read misheard lyrics.

Whatever happened
To tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a
Transistor radio.
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbows wall,
Slipping and a-sliding
All along the waterfall
With you, my ONE-eyed girl,
You, my ONE-eyed girl.

lol

Correct: Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee...

Misheard: Oh Canada, we stand on cars and freeze...

Correct: You may be right, I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're lookin for...

Misheard: You made the rice, I made the gravy,
But it just may be some tuna fish you're lookin for...

I once saw a kid who thought the Bee Gees "more than a woman... more than a woman to me" was "four legg-ed woman."

I can already tell this post is going to get out of hand (in a hilarious way)...and possibly locked. Everyone watch the French!

This thread reminds me of that commercial where the guy was singing "pour some shook up Ramen" intead of "pour some sugar on me". I loved that commercial

Haha I'm at my desk and can't stop laughing, you could hear a pindrop (and my laughter) right now!

I used to think...

"Werewolves of London" was "Where was the thunder" then again I am terrible at making out lyrics.

It occurred to me how ridiculous I was when my friend who corrected me said, "didn't you think something was odd with what you were singing when you heard him howling the whole time?"

I may have this wrong twice, But AC/DCs song with the chorus "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" , when I was a kid I thought it was "thirty theives and the thunder king" I have no idea why I thought this.

my buddy didn't hear the "done dirt cheap" and said "dunder deet" - we were like "what the f---?!?" he said, they are Austrian and he didn't know if they knew English well enough to make the proper words - that friend was in his 20's but he was a classical musician and wasn't too up on modern music (like anything after old school Sinatra and Big Band)

Not Here!

Correct Lyrics:
All the boys get the girls in the back - Hey Baby, No Doubt

What I heard:
All the Boys Kick the Girl in the Back

Adhamhnon · 03-09-2009, 03:34 PM

Everyone should know the original proper version...

"Excuse me while I kiss this guy"

Uniquely · 03-19-2009, 06:05 PM

I totally forgot this one!

I play a lot of OLDies for our patients to listen to where I work in the therapy dept of a nursing home.

One such song goes

Your feet's too big
Can't love you cuz your feet's too big
Mad at you cuz your feet's too big
I love you even if your feet's too big

I was singing along one day when the occupational therapist chimes up and says "FEET.... I thought it was MEAT"

I still laugh at that one...... go ahead..... say it back and replace feet with meat.

That big yellow taxi song. It sounds as if he is saying "we payed paradise to put up a f****** lot." lol when it really is parking lot

I went to my mom's house a few days ago and she reminded me of this one from when I was nine years old....

Lucille by Kenny rogers

Acutal lyrics

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
4 hungry children and a crop in the field

After hearing the song..... I turned to my mom and said with shock

FOUR HUNDRED CHILDREN.......... no WONDER she left him!

Didn't need no welfare states
Everybody pulled his weight
Gee our old Lasalle ran great
Those were the days

Let's ride with the family down the street
Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet
