"She really don't like it,

[Hi-ASL]

And her husband was one of those blokes
The sort that only laughs at his own jokes
The sort that war takes away

And her husband was one of those blokes
The sort that only laughs at his own jokes
The sort that walks tied to a whale

Bananarama - 'Love in the first degree'
I thought they were singing 'Only you can set me free cos i'm guilty, guilty as a cocoa bean'

See - it's the 'cocoa' factor striking again

The Sound of Music by Joy Division.
Instead of:

"See my true reflection,
Cut off my own connections,
I can see life getting harder,"

I thought i was hearing :

See my true reflection,
Put on my open necked shirt,
I can see life getting harder.

 

[Maggot]

In Going Underground by The Jam there's a line which sounds like:

Flying sheep on my TV screen.

I haven't checked to see what it actually is.

It's 'The braying sheep on my tv screen'

 

[Dr. Furface]

Sister Sledge - He's the Greatest Dancer

I heard: 'Just let me staple the vicar'
The lyric: 'Just let me state for the record'

 

[MightyAphrodite]

some classics

The one i always remember was Bon Jovi:

'Woooooooaaah, been living on bread'

well i was 8

ahahhaaaa, that made me laugh.

 

[Kaka Tim]

There is also of course the ever-popular "Ooooooh... my ears are alight."

The classic maxell's tape advert -


and their take on the skids -'into the valley'



enjoy!

He was a sk8er boi
She said see ya later boi
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar
Swimmin' in his cattargh...

I know it obviously isn't that, but I prefer it...

 

[Kaka Tim]

Theres always the lament on the misery of constipation in led zeps classic 'when the levee breaks'

'If i keep on straining the lav is gonner break'

And Sara brightmans 1978 hit

'I lost my fart in a draft excluder'

 

[Annierak]

oh i just remembered one...


blinded by the light

wrapped up like a douche

to do a runner in the night

(i thought those were the real lyrics for ages...)

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah".


Confess your lyric misunderstandings here.

What is it really: I thought it was 'Cherie don't like it'.

 

[scalyboy]

"Semi-gear heart attack" on 'Up Town Top Ranking'. In their army/combat shirts, I thought perhaps 'semi-gear' was an engineering term, and that Althea & Donna were car mechanics?

 

[scalyboy]

Sister Sledge - He's the Greatest Dancer

I heard: 'Just let me staple the vicar'
The lyric: 'Just let me state for the record'

Your version is much better though

(i thought those were the real lyrics for ages...)

everybody thought that (me too ) only on the Manfred Mann version though

 

[Buddy Bradley]

I didn't know the real lyrics to Wired For Sound either.

 

[rollinder]

semi listening to Radio one half asleep has got recently surreal - Biffy Clyro - Mountains sounded like head for the mamories (full of memories), hope my teeth won't break (think that actually is the second lines lyrics)
Kids by MGMT seems to be full of referances to bees honey and trees honey (don't know the real words)

 

[Biffo]

Pants and cheese....

'What a feeling' by Irene Cara - 'Take your pants down and make it happen'.

'You've got the love' by Candi Staton/Source - 'Sometimes I feel like throwing my pants up in the air'.

'Against All Odds' by Phil Collins - 'We shared the laughter and the pain. We even shared the cheese'.

 

[rollinder]

Audioslave - Your time has come 'I've been wanting a sandwich'
Girls Aloud - The Promise - keep hearing the chorus as either love is not hate/love will not wait or God Is Not Great, God Is Not Great

 

[_pH_]

Not quite a song but I used to think the lord's prayer was: 'Our lord in heaven, Harold be thy name ...'. This was because I never saw it written down and my dad used to shout 'Jesus H Christ' so I thought Harold was his middle name

[albionism]

Dave Allen once said that when he was a child, coming from a large family he went to quite a few funerals and he thought the priest said "in the name of the father and the son and into the hole he goes".

 

[rollinder]

^ brilliant

not a misheard lyric but a misheard album title - could've sworn Razorlight's new album was going to Slippery Fires, and just this second relistening to Lou Reed - Satellite of Love, I'm very disappointed to find it's not full of pork and cars

 

[el_starkos]

Open up my Eagle Eyes (Killers - Mr Brightside)


I'm sure my old Action Man came with Eagle Eyes.

 

[rollinder]

they did. re The Killers- which side were you on, on the whole dancers/denser divide?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I can see Clearly now Lorraine has gone

 

[rollinder]

another one, I thought for ages on Cocaine (Clapton version) it was She don't like cocaine

 

[the button]

Wildwest Jesus being "led out to die on cavalry," rather than "Calvary."

'Against All Odds' by Phil Collins - 'We shared the laughter and the pain. We even shared the cheese'.
