Misunderstood Lyrics

[LaParkaYourCar]

This should be funny. What are some things you "thought" a singer was singing before you found out the real lyrics?

 

What are some of your funniest misunderstood lyrics?

[Guest The Man in Blak]

I didn't trip on it, but this thread can't go on without the world famous:

 

"'scuse me while I kiss this guy"

[Guest Flyboy]

Umm..

 

MIB, what song did THAT come from?

[Guest evenflowDDT]

Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze". It's probably the most famous misheard lyric, and the fact that Jimi sometimes sang it that way live as a joke didn't help matters either. The actual lyric, of course, is "'scuse me while I kiss the sky".

[Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics]

In the Shania Twain song "That don't impress me much", when she sings something like

"you kiss your car goodnight", it sounds very much like

"you kiss your cock at night"

[Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics]

And I just got reminded of this whilst reading the Queen thread.

At the end of "One Vision", Freddie may or may not sing "fried chicken"!

[Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

That one Avril song...

 

 

Its like

 

 

"I want to blow you............(10 seconds later) AWAY"

 

and

 

"I want you to go down........(10 seconds later) One Knee"

 

of course, One Knee sounds like On Me.

[Guest Kingpk]

YMCA - The last line of the chorus always sounds like "you can do what the fuck you feel."

[Guest NoCalMike]

That one Avril song...

 

 

Its like

 

 

"I want to blow you............(10 seconds later) AWAY"

 

and

 

"I want you to go down........(10 seconds later) One Knee"

 

of course, One Knee sounds like On Me.

I think that is a POE(sp?) song....

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Corpsevomit's Gathering Chemical Children has a line that goes "Orgies of the sick" but kinda sounds like "Warts on my dick."

 

Either way, it doesn't mess the song up too much.

 

There's a suck ass Slipknot song called Liberate, and the line "Liberate, my madness" sounds exactly like "Do you like, bananas?"

[Guest Bosstones Fan]

In the Shania Twain song "That don't impress me much", when she sings something like

"you kiss your car goodnight", it sounds very much like

"you kiss your cock at night"

Dude, what the hell are you doing actually listening to Shania's "music?" Don't you know she's only to be gawked at, not heard?

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

I thought Freddy Mercury was singing "Another one bites my nuts."

[Guest saturnmark4life]

I didn't trip on it, but this thread can't go on without the world famous:

 

"'scuse me while I kiss this guy"

I'll join the club with that one, heh.

 

On the title track of The MotherFucking Smiths' 'the queen is dead' i always heard Moz say 'has the world changed to invite change' when on the lyric sheet it's 'has the world changed or have i changed' though I'm positive the first one is what he actually says on the track. And on his solo track 'suedehead' i always thought it was 'i'm...so...sick of you' when it's 'sickened' though especially on the live version the former sounds better, i think. Though i'm not the greatest singer/songwriter ever so i guess he wins.

In the Shania Twain song "That don't impress me much", when she sings something like

Calling her music Country anymore is a stretch. I was flipping the stations and paused to oogle her for a bit, and she was riding some futuristic motocycle in a video, getting chased by a robot or some shit.

 

Seemed pretty far from Country-Western, unless that means Silicon Valley.

[Guest Flyboy]

"I want to blow you............(10 seconds later) AWAY"

 

and

 

"I want you to go down........(10 seconds later) One Knee"

I think that is a POE(sp?) song....

Nah.

 

It's Avril Lavigne's "Things I'll Never Say".

[Guest TUS_02]

There is a POE song called ANgry Johnny with the same "I wanna blow you *long pause* away."

[Guest Flyboy]

Ah, well then.

 

Hollywood is exaggerating because there isn't really a long pause when she says "I wanna blow you away."

 

I don't know what he's trippin' on.

They often play it where I work, so unfortunately I can't even see the video whilst it's playing!

[Guest crandamaniac]

The Rolling Stones "Beast of Burden"

 

I swear to god when I was younger he was saying "I don't want, your Pizza Burning "

[Guest treble charged]

This happens to me all the time. I'll hear a song on the radio a few times, and 'make up' my own lyrics if I'm not quite 100% sure what the singer's actually saying. Then, I'll pick up the CD, and, if the lyrics come on the liner notes, I'll read them and go, 'Yeah, that makes more sense'.

[Guest Nevermortal]

Strapping Young Lad's "Oh My Fucking God"

 

The singer sings so fast I just kinda make up words. They're always random each time I hear the song!

[Guest Dmann2000]

I used to think, when I was young, that the French words in Michelle were "Someday monkey won't play piano song, play piano song"

[Guest Bosstones Fan]

They often play it where I work, so unfortunately I can't even see the video whilst it's playing!

My condolences.

my fav is Peter Gabriel "Games Without Frontiers"

 

the real lyric is

Jeux sans frontières

 

i heard it as

she's so popular

 

but the best was someone misheard it as

shes so fuckin' A

 

lol

whenever i hear that song now i sing that line instead..hilarious

[Guest El Satanico]

Another classic is "Pipe In The Vasoline" instead of "Life In The Fast Lane"

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

Me and my cousin were watching LOUD, when a Blind Guardian video came on. I love 'em, he hates 'em, but I had the remote.

 

Anyway, the lyric was actually "Born in a mourning hall", but my cousin looked at me and asked "Did he just say "It's all in the mullet, hun."?"

 

Quite comical.

[Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa]

Another famous one is confusing Big Ol' Jet Airliner with Big Ol' Wet Vagina.

Holy shit... I though it was "She's so popular" too.

 

The first time I heard the Smiths' "Vicar in a Tutu" I thought Mozzer was singing "Bigger than a Choo-Choo". D'oh!

[Guest Ravenbomb]

from a Misunderstoond Lyrics calender

'Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer' is heard as 'Hold my clothes and tie me down, sir'

 

not from a calender:

'The silicone chip inside her head' is heard as 'the silicone ship and spider head' from I Don't like Mondays.

 

And 'And he' is heard as 'Andy' a lot.

[Guest Kinetic]

There's that other Shania Twain song where the lyric is "If you wanna touch her, ask" but sounds like "if you wanna touch her ass." Not sure if that one's intentional.
