Inspired by my post in the Wuthering Heights thread what lyrics do you like better than the original ones that you THOUGHT you heard but it wasn't really.
Wuthering Heights:
Out on the windy windy moor, sweet Roland rolls in brie.

Like Blur ask in song two:
All of the time that I'm never sure when I need you
Is there any jam?

The Jam ask in Town called Malice:
Its enough to make you stop believing when the kids can't fasten their shoes:loopy:

~One stolen from PC:Kasabian LSF
I'm on it, get on it
The chips are on fire

and my own Kasabian one from Cutt off:
Chew the backbone, a solar system, Inspiral Carpets

:D

Ive often wondered what a "Chid" is.
Billy Jean by Micheal Jackson mentions the fabled chid :

"Shes just a girl who says that I am the one,
but the chid is not my son!"

who was who sang 'i don't know where my hole is' (possibly supposed to be i don't know where my soul is)

Got brass in pocket
Confido Im gonna use it
Intention I feeling my tail
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Got motion restrained emotion
Been driving detour leaning
No visa just seems so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my sensip
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my imagination

A tissue of whoppers!

Hard Fi - Tied Up Too Tight

when Wings brought out "Mull Of Kintyre" back thirty years ago, my mother thought the lyrics were

"B*llocking tyres"

my cousin used to pray the Lords Prayer...

"our father
who was shot in heaven
harold be thy name....

:lol:

Hard Fi - Tied Up Too Tight

You know, I'm not seeing it or hearing it but I think you should encourage them to sing your version from now on.

PT that's class. :D

edna...

this was thirty years ago,my mother passed on 20 yrs (+) ago, and we still chuckle at that one!

depeche mode

People are people that wash in the street

airport, a friends mum was disgusted as she thought they were singing eff off :)

Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell:

"I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
I'm a Cilla Black fan, I'm bad"

I used to always sing 100 degrees, thats why they call me Mr far and High to the Queen song "dont stop me now"

The Jam - "Eating Trifles", instead of "Eaton Rifles".

The Smith's - "Will Young, Will Young it was really nothing", instead of "William, William it was really nothing".

The last one wasn't me by the way.

what about the song by the Police? " So Lonely"...

I used to think they were singing "Sue Lawley"

Bee Gees More Than A Woman always sounded like Bald-Headed Woman. Another of their songs, Too Much Heaven contains the line Ooh, You and Me Girl, got a highway to the sky - I honestly wondered if he used a rather offensive racist word and sung Ooh, you're a n****r, got a highway to the sky....

Others:-

kd lang - Constant Craving - Can't Stand Gravy and of course Jimi Hendrix with excuse me while I kiss this guy (actually, kiss the sky).

More to come...

there was another Police song that I used to mishear.

in "Don't Stand So Close To Me"

There is a line that goes

"Just like that
Old man in
That book by Nabakov" (a reference to the book "Lolita"

I thought the line went

"Just like that
Old man in
That book by now become"

which made no sense at all, but, *meh* what's what I thought Sting was singing. :lol:

Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell:

"I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
I'm a Cilla Black fan, I'm bad"

PMSL! :lol:

The proper words to that are:

I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
on a silver black phantom bike.

I was pretty sure Madonna in La Isla Bonita said

"Young girl with eyes like potatas"

Which made sense because potatoes do have eyes.

I was pretty sure Madonna in La Isla Bonita said

"Young girl with eyes like potatas"

Which made sense because potatoes do have eyes.

I always heard that too.

And a couple of lines earlier:

"Last night I dreamt of some Dago"

which I thought was a little un-PC of our Madge :rolleyes:

I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
on a silver black phantom bike.
Or is it "Silver black mountain bike"? :confused:

The thought of Meatloaf astride a pushbike is disturbing though.

A colleague at work once told us that she thought the opening line to Suspicious Minds was "They call him a tramp" as opposed to the actual line of "We're caught in a trap".

The chorus to You Sexy Thing by Hot Chocolate definitely says "I believe in miracles - wear your bra - you sexy thing"

Or is it "Silver black mountain bike"?

I think you'll find it's:- "Cilla Blacks mountain bike"

The chorus to You Sexy Thing by Hot Chocolate definitely says "I believe in miracles - wear your bra - you sexy thing"

no, it's I believe it's milko, wear your bra..." :wink:


alternatively, "I believe it's malcolm, wear your bra!" - even better! :lol:

I used to sing the Bob Marley song 'No Woman, No Pride'.

I was about 25 when I realised my mistake..

I have proof of the words.





The sirens are screamin' and the fires are howlin', way down in the valley tonight
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye and a blade shinin' oh so bright
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky and a killer's on the bloodshot streets
Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are risin'
Oh I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter, he was startin' to foam in the heat

Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world that's pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go there's always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now, before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it's over you know, we'll both be so alone

Like a bat outta hell, I'll be gone when the mornin' comes
But when the night is over like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat outta hell I'll be gone when the mornin' comes
But when the day is done and the sun goes down and the moonlight's shinin' through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven, I'll come crawlin' on back to you

I'm gonna hit the highway like a batterin' ram on a silver black phantom bike
When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry and we're all about to see the light
Nothin' ever grows in this rottin' old hole, everything is stunted and lost
And nothin' really rocks and nothin' really rolls and nothin's ever worth the cost

And I know that I'm damned if I never get out and maybe I'm damned if I do
But with every other beat I've got left in my heart, you know I'd rather be damned with you
And if I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned, dancin' through the night with you

Was it kd lang who sang "Miss Sharrow Lane"?

And the J Geils Band who sang "My Angel is a Sennapod"?

Who can forget the classic Shania Twain lyric - 'I cant believe you kiss your cock at night' ?

I was banned from listening to Def Lepperds Adrenalize album, because my mum misheard the lyrics to "Lets Get Rocked" and thought they were singing "Lesbian Rock". Soppy mare.

And the J Geils Band who sang "My Angel is a Sennapod"?

My interpretation to the chorus of 'Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight' by REM used to be "Ho-Nay Chad Away Aha".

Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a comedian!
Red gold and green, red gold and green!

and...

The Jam - "Eating Trifles", instead of "Eaton Rifles"

...Kidding!

The song was written by Marley after his girlfriend spent around £600 on 13 pairs of shoes on a trip to Paris, which was a huge amount back then.

The lyrics are actually "No woman, no buy"

A phrase I have used on my girlfriend many times since.

another one I misheard...

in "milk and alcohol" (was it by Dr Feelgood?)
I always thought they were singing

"mi-i-ilk and
Al Capone"

At the banging on the door bit of love shack

where the real lyrics are Tin Roof Rusted. i thought it was hang tough Rusty.

Bugger. You're quite correct :blush: .

Funny when you wrote that I thought, hang on I like that song, I never thought I liked any Bryan Adams, before I realised it wasn't!

Geno Dexys midnight Runners

Packed in sexy, waiting his work at de club,(oh Geno)
Boy Jimmy's machine and the rock steady rub,(oh Geno)
On a night when the flowers didn't suit my shoes,
I didn't give up smoking, I pack in school
Didn't always stay in the Crowds at night
I just __(I've no idea!)__keeping out of the fight

I can deal with inspiration you gave me none
You were my pulveriser, the fighter that won...

I didn't have a clue until this line really:)

Oh now just look at me cos I'm a looking down on you.
No I'm not being flash it's what I'm built to do.

Thank god it had a strong brass section!
The correct lyrics(?)
Back in sixty-eight in a sweaty club
Before Jimmys machine and the rocksteady rub
On a night when flowers didnt suit my shoes
After a week of flunkin and bunkin school
The lowest head in the crowd that night
Just practisin steps and keeping out of the fights.
Academic inspiration, you gave me none
Ah but you were Michael the Lover
The fighter that won.
And look at me now looking down at you
No Im not being flash, its what Im built to do.
That man too the stage with his towel swingin high
This man was my bombers, my dexys my high
The crowd they all hailed you and chanted your name
Ah but they never knew like we knew
Me and you were the same
Now youre all over, your song is so tame
You fed me, you bred me
Ill remember your name.

my brother used to sing pour dom dooby dom day -to def leppard's Pour some sugar on me

now, in the dexy's song, geno, i always thought they were singing
"o-ooh hold yer nose"

not "o-oh - geno!"

and that it was
"back in sixty, the weight of this world"

when the lyrics were actually
"Back in sixty-eight in a sweaty club "

A couple that my mate used to sing:

My love has got no money, he's got his trombolise (a musical instrument, similar to a trombone, and NOT "strong beliefs").

and:

"Love really hurts with a Jew"

I used to think that in REM's 'The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight' he was singing "calling Jamaica, Calling Jamaica" instead of "Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her." :lol:

A friend of mine at school used to think Jacko's Smooth Criminal went:
'So, Annie are you walking, are you walking, are you walking Annie'

Also, Macy Gray's one and only hit where she sings with a gob-full of phlegm...does she really say:
I try to say goodbye and I choke, try to walk away and I stumble, boy I try to hide it you see - I wore goggles when you are not here'

One other one that comes to mind is Jamiroquai, I dont know if it's been posted already but he sings:
Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance
Got candy in my ears tonight Big Ben!

I was gonna say you won't be the first to think that, than I saw the post below yours!

I only found out the proper words to this a couple of years ago!

Only posting this as something I saw the other day really made me laugh.

Having subtitles on while watching The Proclaimers sing Life with You, this is what came up

Actual lyrics:

When I was a younger man
When I was a silly boy
I didn't need a thing
I was strong as anything, I
Viewed solitude as a joy.

Subtitle version

When I was a younger man
When I was a silly boy
I didn't need a thing
I was strong as anything, I
Chewed solid food as a boy

Any one esle know of similar, whether you or someone esle sings the wrong words.......let us know

You seem to like The proclaimers a lot? This is the 2nd post you have put about them :suspect:

Yes, I make no apologies for being part of the minority :)

Still made me laugh though

my 3yr old daughter has a lovely version of coming round the mountain, instead of she'll be riding 6 white horses,she is convinced its she'll be riding big fat horses...:hihi:

"When you're in love with a beautiful woman It's hard"

By Dr Hook.
Has to be a classic. :hihi:

My kids (years ago) used to sing to "Starship's" "Nothing's gonna stop us".....

Proper lyric "Take a look around us"

Kids lyric "Have a game of rounders"

Always made me laugh :)

For I am the lord of the dancing settee ... "

Next time you watch a European football match (or the Euro's or World Cup) put the subtitles on.

Sometimes it can make a really rubbish game an absolute hoot!!

Did it first during Japan/Korea WC - can't remember the game, could have been Japan vs Czech Republic or something (one of the Slav nations). Sub-titles went in to melt down. Where the words should have appeared remained blank for about 2 or three minutes then the word 'gibble' appeared.

I though Blackadder had invaded the subtitle studio.

Great fun :hihi:

Apparently I had something of a preoccupation with the 'lower portions' as an infant, singing along to "I go wee..." by Alison Moyet and "I'm your penis..." by Bananarama :o

I'll never forget one night in a certain Sheffield pub where some old men were quietly playing dominoes in the corner, when Babybird's "You're Gorgeous" came on the jukebox and without any warning, they started singing the chorus at the tops of their voices as "Because Yooooooou're Gormless!"

The Stranglers - Golden Brown
Golden brown texture like sun
Lays me down with my mancherons

I was actually surprised to learn that "mancherons" was a word and not just gobbledegook... apparently it means an ornamental trimming on the top part of a sleeve, so there!

I'm a Cilla Black fan, I'm bad"

Spooky, I always thought it was I'm a cilla black fan on a bike :hihi:

In the chorus of Motorhead's Iron Horse, I'm still convinced that Lemmy sings 'I am a horse's wife'.

1st verse Status Quo ..there is no way he sings.."Rocking all over the world"...Iv slowed oit down,listened and listened....the rest of it ..Rocking is very clear but not that first one

In the chorus of Motorhead's Iron Horse, I'm still convinced that Lemmy sings 'I am a horse's wife'.

In "Ace of Spades" Lemmy definitely sings "push it up mi aunty"

I always heard that too.
And a couple of lines earlier:
"Last night I dreamt of some Dago"
which I thought was a little un-PC of our Madge :rolleyes:

I had the potatoes line too, but I used to think the above line was "Last night I dreamt of some bagels" - and we're back at food again!

Falloutboy (i think) "god damn arms race" (took a good lyrics search to find that out)
Absolutely convinced for ages it was "god damn arse face"

Or "dead ostrich"! It sounds like that on the edited version that was on all the music video channels because they cut out the "god damn" but not terribly well. The resulting mess sounded just like "dead ostrich".

One from real radio yesterday morning, where the dj said the first time he heard the songI wish I was a punk rocker he thought she was singing I wish I was a prawn cracker.

Spooky, I always thought it was I'm a cilla black fan on a bike :hihi:

How does that sound anything like a silver black phantom bike? I have listened to meat loaf for years and I can tell you I have never once thought he sung about cilla black.:)

Just found a funny madonna one

La Isla bonita - last night I dreamt of sombreros.

A friend of mine at school used to think Jacko's Smooth Criminal went:
'So, Annie are you walking, are you walking, are you walking Annie'

Also, Macy Gray's one and only hit where she sings with a gob-full of phlegm...does she really say:
I try to say goodbye and I choke, try to walk away and I stumble, boy I try to hide it you see - I wore goggles when you are not here'

One other one that comes to mind is Jamiroquai, I dont know if it's been posted already but he sings:
Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance
Got candy in my ears tonight Big Ben!

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Sad i know after all this time, but the michael jackson 1, i thought it said that aswell, just had to check it out on you tube to see :hihi:

The refrain on La Isla Bonita, by Madonna, sounds awfully like '' Chop the goolie ''.

I always miss hear lyrics of songs. I think i posted about this before on this forum. But my favourite has to be hearing someone sing the song to system of a down's Chop Suey. Now i hear this songs i also sing his words.
System of a down song goes.

Wake up
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
Hide the scars to fade away the shake up
Why'd you leave the keys up on the table?


He sings
Wake up
Grandma should put a on little make up
I just mix tomato in the ketchup
Why'd you leave the kids up on the table

True tale:

A friend of mine, let's call him Paul, assumed, for many of his young years, that the American name for traffic lights was "gestand". It was the Beach boys fault: "Well she got her daddy's car and she drove it to the amber gestand now..."

Me, I always wondered why there was a "warzone, 7th avenue" when listening to "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel. Bless!

Baby - love really hurts with a Jew - Billy Ocean

Take That.
