Start the thread says Alchresearch, easy for him to say, he doesnt have to phrase it!

Okay, we are all familiar with misheard lyrics

Bryan Adams hit, the summer of 69 has been sung along to by countless young folks with too many thoughts of spring on their mind

Honestly, he really is NOT singing

"I got my first real sex dream, honey at the five and dime"

- now Alchresearch has promised to post up the intro in a downloadable format so you can decide for yourself

This one always sticks in my mind from Bananarama's Love In The 1st Degree. Do they really sing "Only you can set me free. 'Cos I'm guilty, guilty as a DRUNKEN BEE!"

...of course it doesn't help that the next line is

"played it till my fingers bled"

Me too. Only my sister used to sing 'drunken priest' rather than drunken bee...

Mind you she also used to sing "Oh fish strolling in from the sea" to Mull of Kintyre (to the bit that's really "Oh me strolling in from the sea" :D

I always remember the Sisters of Mercy singing "Soap, Soap, Liquid Soap".... I think the track was either 'Alice' pr 'Floorshow'.

The actual lines were "slow, slow, quick, quick, slow"

Sounds to me like: ''I got my first real six string, bought it at the five and dime. Played it till my fingers bled, It was the summer of '69".

And Bananarama: "Only you can set me free, cos I'm guilty; Guilty as a girl can be"


Or am I just missing summat?

Queen's "Somebody to Love" starts with "each morning I get on my toilet" and as it reaches the chorus Freddie sings "I spin on my ears and believe in you."

Blondies "Picture This" has the line "I've got frogs on my lips and you pee on your skis".

When I lived in France I remember being in a club and a whole gang of people next to me were singing "I'm norny, norny norny norny"...

They really didn't get it!

I always substitute the words to Whitney Houstons 'Saving all my love for you' to 'I m shaving off my **** for yooooooou'

Go on, what rhymes with Love ?? (I hope I haven't offended anyone here...:P)

Of course there is no real pleasure in misheard lyrics if people insist on telling you what they really should be...

...but I too dont know what she sings at this point

I thought it might be something to do with

"You've got snow on your lids and you're a stray on the street"

which is probably equally wrong

If it werent for your job at the garage??

GARBAGE!!

Whoever has made up those lyrics has no better idea than Alchresearch or me, and I have only been listening to it for 25 years

laughing my head off, this is why this topic is such a good one

There is NOTHING about garages in that song, even if Debbie Harry herself tells me that is what she was singing, I still wont believe it

Until very recently I always thought Radiohead's Creep went:

"But I'm a creep. I'm a widow. What the hell am I doing here?"

Now I'm told it's... "I'm a weirdo"

But I think widow sounds better (and let's face it after so many years of singing it that way I'm not gonna change now).


On a more sublime note; listen again to Kylie's 'Shocked'.
Come on, you know you have it somewhere...

She was shocked by the power,
oh, oooh,
Shocked by the power of love,
She was ****ed to her very foundation.
Shocked by the power.
Shocked by the power.

:o

It's actually neither of those. The real line is:

"Oh, mist rolling in from the sea"

Depending on which version you're listening too he does actually sing 'gimmie, gimmie, gimmie fried chicken' right at the end :)

I certainly remember Bruno playing misheard lyrics on his show (but 1986?! Blimey).

I recall a couple which have probably shown up on other threads about this subject.

Culture Club had a hit in 1986 with Move Away. Boy George can be heard telling us all to 'Move, move, move away from the toilet', not, as you'd have thought to 'Move, move, move away from me darling'.

A famous one is the Bee Gees track More Than A Woman, from 1978's OST Saturday Night Fever. The Tavares covered this tune also (a better version IMO). However, one listen to the toothy brothers' version will have you believe they're talking about a Bald Headed Woman.
