Misheard song lyrics

[Rich 12]

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!

 

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.

[BlankFrack 10]

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

[feargal 21]

I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram

on a silver black phantom bike.

Or is it "Silver black mountain bike"?

 

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"

[SHarper 11]

Or is it "Silver black mountain bike"?

 

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

[Plain Talker 11]

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..."

 

 

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

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

 

I was about 25 when I realised my mistake..

[Rich 12]

Or is it "Silver black mountain bike"?

 

The thought of Meatloaf astride a pushbike is disturbing though.

 

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

But if I

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 **** at night' ?
