Topic: Misheard Lyrics

[Nobby Reserve]

My eldest daughter went through a stage of loving Taylor Swift and we'd have her albums on loads in the car.

I thought on Blank Space she was singing "Got a lotta Starburst lovers, they'll tell you I'm the same"

She sings: "Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane"

[rob1966]

RHCP - Scar Tissue.

I first thought it was "with the blood I've shed its a lonely view".
Then I thought it was "with the burden shared its a lonely view and".

I now know it is "with the birds I'll share this lonely viewing"

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

My eldest daughter went through a stage of loving Taylor Swift and we'd have her albums on loads in the car.

I thought on Blank Space she was singing "Got a lotta Starburst lovers, they'll tell you I'm the same"

She sings: "Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane"

Lol!

A lot of people also think it is 'Got a lot of Starbucks lovers...'

[The 1989 Brit Awards]

RHCP - Scar Tissue.

I first thought it was "with the blood I've shed its a lonely view".
Then I thought it was "with the burden shared its a lonely view and".

I now know it is "with the birds I'll share this lonely viewing"

It may say with the birds, but I refuse to believe Kiedis can sing that and not say "and" 

[BarryCrocker]

The Wall.

'No ducks in cabins in the classroom'

Was the main reason I didn't like them at the time. Thought they were just singing shit.

[blert596]

At the end of Smells Like Teen Spirit I could never understand why they were singing about Danny Dyer


A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial

[SP]

You are right. There are two versions of the song..

The clean radio version is “have me” not pick any way...

[The Bournemouth Red]

Oasis - Wonderwall

My sister used to think it went "And after all, you're my wall to wall"

Wall to wall what?  Axminster?

[Shazz]

Will Young "Think I'm gonna leave right now" is apparently "Think I'm gonna deep fry it now" 😃

[bradders1011]

Right about now,

The funk's old brother.

[Barneylfc∗]

"Money for nothing and your chicks for free"

Thought for years they were saying "chips for free"

Found out the correct words about 15 minutes ago.

[Hazell]

At the end of Smells Like Teen Spirit I could never understand why they were singing about Danny Dyer


A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial

I don't think anyone can understand what Kurt Cobain is saying half the time.

[Mumm-Ra]

[soxfan]

'Blinded By The Light" correct:

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

I knew it had to be wrong, but it always sounded like "rocked up like a douche" to me

[Nitramdorf]

I used to think Dr Feelgood Milk and Alcohol was called Milk and Al Capone when I was a kid. Used to think it was about a gangster who drank a lot of milk.

[soxfan]

"Houses of the Holy" by Led Zeppelin correct:

So the world is spinning faster. Are you dizzy when you're stoned
Let the music be your master. Will you heed the master's call
Oh... Satan and man.

The last line sounds much more like "oh...slightly mad"

[Medellin]

REM - Sidewinder sleeps tonight..

The chorus verse i thought was 'come an eat your bacon up'. 

[afc tukrish]

'Blinded By The Light" correct:

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Blinded by the Light, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, written by Springsteen

Thought it was

"Blinded by the light
Racked up like a douche..." 

[soxfan]

Great minds think alike.

Ours do too.

Never really liked that song. Did you?

[Sudden Death Draft Loser]

Never really liked that song. Did you?

Dreadful

No surprise to hear that Springsteen wrote it

[rob1966]

I always though Pete Burns sang You spin me right round baby, right round like a Rabbit. I was like what the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Yeah, as did I until 10 seconds ago.

[Crosby Nick]

REM - Sidewinder sleeps tonight..

The chorus verse i thought was 'come an eat your bacon up'. 

Haha that’s a great indecipherable one. What actually are the lyrics?

Calling Jamaica up?

[rob1966]

Haha that’s a great indecipherable one. What actually are the lyrics?

Calling Jamaica up?

I always thought it was Comedy tries to break her up

Isn't it actually call me when you wake her up?

[Crosby Nick]

Isn't it actually call me when you wake her up?

No idea!

[Hazell]

I always thought it was Comedy tries to break her up

Something like that. It's about a homeless person who lives in a telephone box.

[Teacher]

As a teenager growing up in the 1980s, there was a Simple Minds number (Alive and Kicking) which was popular in the pubs and clubs.

I`ll always remember a mate of mine who came up to me one night and asked: Who sings that bloody song, I love a kicking??!!

[Mumm-Ra]

'Blinded By The Light" correct:

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

I knew it had to be wrong, but it always sounded like "rocked up like a douche" to me

I sing 'wrapped up like a douche, in the middle of the night'

[afc tukrish]

I sing 'wrapped up like a douche, in the middle of the night'

It's just so much more...

apropos, when the lyric is "douche..."

[Medellin]

The Police - Message in a bottle.

A year has passed since i broke my nose!

[El Lobo]

My ex’s brother thought it was ‘I Wanna Be Adog’

[Kekule]

I always thought it was Comedy tries to break her up

Isn't it actually call me when you wake her up?

I think it is yes, or maybe "when you try to wake her up".

Always sounded like "Calling Cheryl Baker" to me.

Living on my own by Freddie Mercury, my sister thought it was

Dee do de de, dee do de de
I don't have no time for no monkey business
Dee do de de, dee do de de
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah
Got to get some meat on my head

[Mumm-Ra]

Until today I thought it was

The road has got me hypnotised
And I'm spinning into a nude sunrise

Proper llyrics - speeding into a new sunrise
