Misheard song lyrics

[haddockman 10]

I love it! Song please?

 

Hard Fi - Tied Up Too Tight

[Plain Talker 11]

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....

 

[EdnaKrabappe 14]

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.

[Plain Talker 11]

edna...

 

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

[EdnaKrabappe 14]

depeche mode

 

People are people that wash in the street

[elora* 10]

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

[alchresearch 214]

Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell:

 

"I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram

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

[Sarah1982 10]

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

[boyface 10]

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.

[Plain Talker 11]

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

 

I used to think they were singing "Sue Lawley"

[Ousetunes 10]

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...

[Plain Talker 11]

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.
