Misheard Lyrics

(1/11) > >>

alyosha:
So, I finally actually listened to "Getting in Tune" by the Who, rather than singing along.  I found out that where I was singing "Riding on You"  all these years, The lyric is actually "Right in on you."

So, inspired by this event, I'm curious, what other lyrics have people mis-heard?  

I have the "'Scuse Me WHile I Kiss This Guy" calendar, and I must say it's disappointing at best.  The only really good misheard lyric I've gotten from it was "Ah, we are sailing.  Yes Give Jesus Pants."  for "Give Peace a Chance."  I'm sure you all can do better.  Amuse me, please...

Mikendher:
When I first heard Inside Out, I thought the lyrics were "but the afterlife would leave me empty inside"

(it's actually "but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside")

Garcin:
New Order, Bizarre Love Triangle, I kept hearing (for years) "Every time I think of you/ I feel shot right through with a bolt of poo."  

Apparently that's quite common.

Willem:
hmm, i understand that it is definite that the correct lyric is 'scuse me while i kiss the sky' then? because i thought that people were still debating.

anyway, there's the song 'girl' by beck where even he doesn't know what he's singing. (my summer girl, sonar girl, whatever)
only other thing i can think of is 'rape my feelings one more time' instead of 'raise my feelings one more time' of the stooges' gimme danger.

if you google for it you can find some sites about this.

Houdinimachine:
My dad always thought that the lyrics "I wish they all could be California girls" were "I wish they OFFERED me California Girls."

Which, to be honest, is often a just as correct wish in the case of guys in my family.
