Ever hear a song and you sing along to it for years and later find out the lyrics you were saying all along were wrong???

For me, growing up I loved that song "Blinded by the Light" the version done by Manfred Man. I always used to think that part of the song where they say: Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.

I used to sing it like this:
Blinded by the light
revved up like a douche like a roller in the night.

ROTFLMAO!!!!

I used to think it was "wrapped up like a douche" I think that was one of the most misheard lyrics ever, lol :lol:

"scuse me while I kiss this guy"

"scuse me while I kiss this guy"
Oh yeah, that's a good one. Mr Jimi Hendrix!!!!

Ain't no woman like the one I got - Four Tops
My friend said she thought they were saying "Ain't no woman like the one-eyed goat" ROTFLMAO!!!!

I'm not sure who sings the song, I think it's Paul Young, but the song goes like this: Everytime you go away, you take a piece of me with you.

I use to think the lyrics were: Everytime you go away, you take a piece of meat with you.

Yep, that was Paul Young. It did sound like that's what he was saying. Very annoying. LOL

almost half of "She Bop" by Cyndi Lauper, I didn't understand as a kid.
"they say I better stop or I'll go blind"="a superstar or I'll go blind" (yes, I didn't think the song made sense when I heard that)
"I hope he will understand"="I don't even understand" (which could sorta make sense if she doesn't know what Bopping is, lol)

"La Isla Bonita" by Madonna
"last night I dreamt of San Pedro"="last night I drank up some Faygo" (that is how I sang the song for years, lol)

"Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money)" by Pet Shop Boys
"I've got the brains, you got the looks, let's mate lots of monkeys"

The first time I heard Sweet Emotion by Areosmith, I thought he was singing

Almost everything that John Fogarty(CCR) sings!:lol:

In "Midnight Rider" by the Allman Brothers Band,

There's a line that goes

"Some old bed I'll soon be sharing."

I heard it as

"Some old men I'll soon be sharing," which made me wonder what the hell ol' Gregg was up to!!:confused: :confused:

A girl that my mom worked with was at a wedding reception and was singing to ACDC's "You shook me all night long." Instead of "she was a fast machine" she was signing "she was a fax machine" :lol:

My son used to think Tom Petty was singing "running down the drain".

Wings: "Jet" and "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey."
Stone Temple Pilots: "Big Bang Baby." (---- this song's full of them.)

Chalk me up as another one who misheard "deuce" in "Blinded by the Light". :lol:

I also thought "Funkytown" was...well, another word that begins with "F". I thought, "they're allowed to say that on the air??" :rofl:

When the song "Lady In Red" by Chris DeBurgh came out, my sister was 5 and thought it was "Lady In Bread". :rofl: I still tease her about that sometimes. :lol:

Wings: "Jet" and "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey."
Stone Temple Pilots: "Big Bang Baby." (---- this song's full of them.)

Here's what I thought "Jet" said:
"Ah Major won't object to always love me.
Ah Major won't object to always love me.
Ah Major much later.

"Jet! With the wind in your hair of a thousand races."

From "UA/AH":
"Hands across the water, (water).
Hands across the sky.

"Admiral Halsey notified me.
He had to have a buzz or he couldn't get to sea."

Paula Abdul's Straight Up.

I heard, "Or am I a page in your history? Look, I don't need to make demands, but the word and the deed go hand in hand."

Correct: "Or am I a page in your history book? I don't need to make demands, but the word and the deed go hand in hand."

When I was a kid, I misheard a lyric in "You Were Born In The City" by Glenn Frey (great song, btw). Instead of "You were born in the city, concrete under your feet", I thought he said "you were born under your feet". :confused: :lol: :rofl:

This isn't really mishearing a lyric, but as a kid I thought the Hall & Oates song "Maneater" was about a cannibal. I also thought the Jeffersons' theme about "getting a piece of the pie" was about REAL pie. :rofl:

As a kid I also heard the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love" many times before I heard the remake by Phil Collins. THAT had me REALLY confused. I thought something was seriously wrong with the tape to make Diana Ross sound like a guy!!! :rofl:

"Waterloo" by Abba

When they sang about "the history book on the shelf," I thought they were singing that "the mystery broke from the sheriff." :lol:

In the old song "Just A Dream" by Jimmy Clanton (1950's) when I was about 9 or so the line;

Why , why do I love you
How can I live in misery

I thought he was saying "How can I live in Missouri":crazy: :lol:

The world is treating me bad

M-is-s-o-u-r-i.:lol: :wave:

In Stevie Wonder's "Send One Your Love," he sang, "Send one your love with a dozen roses, make sure that she knows it." "Knows it" doesn't rhyme with "roses," but "noses" does, so I thought I heard "makes your betchy noses" - even though "betchy" isn't a word and, therefore, this misheard lyric doesn't make sense.

In "Winter Wonderland"

in the meadow we can build a snowman
then pretend that he is parson brown


I thought it was;

then pretend that he is parched and brown:lol:

"Tiny Dancer" by Elton John, I can't believe some people believe he's singing "Hold me closer, Tony Danza." :lol:

Link (http://mentalfloss.com/article/50219/10-most-often-butchered-song-lyrics)

In Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke," he sings about "some of music's pioneers." I thought he sang, "so the music's bionic." "We have the technology - the $6 million synthesizer?" :lol:

Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Lookin' Out My Back Door":
"Dinosaur controller, listenin' to the goin's ."

Actual line:
"Dinosaur Victrola. Listenin' to Buck Owens."

In "Help Me," Joni Mitchell sings of hot, hot blazes come down in smoke and ash;" I thought she was singing about "harder places" coming down in smoke and ash.

Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Lookin' Out My Back Door":
"Dinosaur controller, listenin' to the goin's ."

Actual line:
"Dinosaur Victrola. Listenin' to Buck Owens."

I thought it was Dinosaur patrollin':crazy: Well don't feel too bad. John Fogarty is very hard to understand. The opening verse in "Green River" is almost illegible (I know that's the wrong term);) , so to speak!:lol:

My husband had a problem with Janis Joplin's " Me and Bobby McGee". The line is "busted flat in Baton Rouge" . He thought it was Buster Flatt and Benjy-roo.:lol:

Another one for me was in "Frosty The Snowman"

Actual words;
In the meadow we will build a snowman
And pretend that he is parson Brown


As a kid I thought it was;

The late John Fred thought he heard the Beatles sing about "Lucy n disguise" and that's how "Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)" - which knocked the Beatles' "Hello Goodbye" off the top of the Billboard singles chart - was written. :)

CHINA GIRL by David Bowie

Actual lyric
"Oh baby, won't you shut your mouth"

Whenever I'm driving and singing along with it I like to jokingly say "Oh baby, won't you shut your mouse"

CHINA GIRL by David Bowie

Actual lyric
"Oh baby, won't you shut your mouth"

Close, actual lyric is "Oh baby, just you shut your mouth"

I could escape this feeling
with my China girl
I feel a wreck
without my little China girl
I hear her heart beating
loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing

I'm a mess
without my little China girl
Wake up mornings where's my little China girl
I hear her heart's beating
loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing down

I feel a-tragic
like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my china girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swasticas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes

My little China girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you man who wants to rule the world

And when I get excited
My little China girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says : sh-sh-shhh

Queen's "Another One Bits The Dust" - I thought Freddie Mercury was singing "Another one bites the doctor." Also, I thought he sang about bullets ripping out of the "subway" rather than the "doorway." And, long before I knew he was born there, I thought I heard him sing, "Are you in Zanzibar?" He was singing, "Are you satisfied?".

Eric Clapton sings "I got a woman calling love hate" in his song "Promises;" I thought he was singing "I got a woman who only loves pay."

I have always LOVED most of the songs from the last 4 - 5 years the Beatles were together (before that I considered their songs schmaltzy bubble gum poop)however I only recently discovered that for over 20 years I had been singing Maxwell's Silver Hammer incorrectly! Instead of Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical science in the home. . .I was singing Metaphysical science in the home. Go Figure!

in the song id really love to see you tonight England dan and jhon for coley are singing im not talking about moving in and I don't want to change your life but whwn I was little I thought it was im not talking about blue linen and I don't want to change your life

in the song id really love to see you tonight England dan and john for coley are singing im not talking about moving in and I don't want to change your life but when I was little I thought it was im not talking about blue linen and I don't want to change your life

And I thought "There's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out" was "There's a warm wind blowing that starts around."

My husband was in the service in Germany in 1964. He told me that one night in a bar he first heard "I Saw Her Standing There". He was completely bowled over by that "new" sound.It was so different from the 50's stuff he grew up with. It impressed him so much that to this day he still remembers how impressed he was. What I'm trying to say is at that time their music was very different and innovative . Yes, now it sounds schmatltzy and bubble gum but at that time it didn't! But
I too am glad that they evolved and didn't get stuck in a rut. I love The Beatles and always will!:loveya:

"Polythene Pam" by the Beatles

Correct lyric: "She's the kind of a girl who makes the News Of the World."
I heard: "She's the kind of a girl who makes good use of a whirl."

And even after I learned the correct lyric - and heard the News Of the World reference in the Pretenders' "Back On the Chain Gang" - I had no idea that it referred to a (now-defunct) British newspaper.

Here are all of the misheard lyrics I heard in Billy Joel's list song "We didn't Start The Fire," with the correct words:

Misheard lyric: "Satayana, good bye."
Correct lyric: "Satire to go by."

Misheard lyric: "Allan Carr" (the name of a movie producer).
Correct lyric: "Malenkov" (Stalin's would-be successor as leader of the U.S.S.R.).

Misheard lyric: "Alabama cruise chest."
Correct lyric: "Alabama, Khrushchev."

Misheard lyric: "It started with a homicide."
Correct lyric: "Starkweather homicide."

Misheard lyric: "Hey, old man Kennedy."
Correct lyric: "Payola and Kennedy."

Misheard lyric: "Listerine, Allison?"
Correct lyric: "Liston beats Patterson."

Misheard lyric: "Rock and roll a color war" (I thought it had something to do with allegedly racist lyrics in Guns 'n' Roses' "One In a Million").
Correct lyric: "Rock and roller cola wars."

And, when Billy Joel sang "It's Still Rock and Roll To Me," I thought he was singing, "You can't get the sound from a story in a magazine; hey, that's your average team!" In fact, he was singing, "You can't get the sound from a story in a magazine . . . aimed at your average teen."

On Friends when Phoebe said Elton John wrote a song about Tony Danza. The others were like He did, what song ? and she said ----

Jimmy Buffett's "Mele Kalikimaka":
Misheard:
"'Mele kalikimaki' is the wise way to say 'Merry Christmas'..."

Actual line:
"'Mele kalikimaki' is Hawaii's way to say 'Merry Christmas'.."

I forgot another misheard lyric from "We Didn't Start The Fire" . . . when Billy Joel sang about Nasser and Prokofiev (Egyptian President Gamal Adbel Nasser and Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev), I thought he was singing, "Nasser at the coffee bar."

It's funny people think that Elton John sings "Tony Danza" in the song Tiny Dancer. Obviously when the song came out in the early 70s Tony Danza wasn't even famous yet!

Ed.

And in "Philadelphia Freedom," "eyes of the ones" sounded to me like he was signing "Eisenhower." Go figure.

From the Transformers cartoon:

Misheard lyric: "Robots in the skies"
Correct lyric: "Robots in disguise"

In Billie Jean it sounds like Michael Jackson is singing

" The chid is not my son" instead of "The kid is not my son"

Michael Jackson's "Beat it", as a 7 year old I didn't know what the word funky was and so well I thought Michael was saying the F-word......you get the picture.

Misheard lyric: "Showin' how f****, strong it's your fight"
Correct lyric: "Showin' how funky, strong it's your fight"

In Billie Jean it sounds like Michael Jackson is singing

" The chid is not my son" instead of "The kid is not my son"

Some people thought they hear Michael Jackson sing "The chair is not my son;" David Letterman made fun of that. :lol:

"Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey" by Paul McCartney

Incorrect lyric: "I had a cup of tea and a pot of pie."
Correct lyric: "I had a cup of tea and a butter pie."

Both lyrics are nonsensical. :p

In Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark:"

Misheard: Here's a joke, some wine, hey it's on me.
Correct: There's a joke somewhere and it's on me.

A lot of people think John Fogerty is singing "There's a bathroom on the right" in Bad Moon Rising when it's actually "There's a bad moon on the rise."

"Workin' At the Car Wash Blues" by Jim Croce

Correct lyric: "Don't expect to see me with a double martini in any highbrow society news."
Incorrect lyric, which I heard when I was a kid: "Don't expect to see me when you double your feet and have my eyebrows finally glued."

:rofl:

Black Dog

Song by Led Zeppelin



Hey, hey, mama
Said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat
Gonna make you groove

Oh, oh, child
Way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn
Gonna make you sting

Hey, hey, baby
When you walk that way
Watch your honey drip
Can't keep away

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Ah, ah, ah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Ah, ah, ah

I gotta roll, can't stand still
Got a flame in heart, can't get my fill
Eyes that shine burning red
Dreams of you all through my head

Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby
Tell me what you do me now
Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby
Tell me what you do me now

Didn't take too long before I found out
What people mean, my down and out
Spent my money, took my car
Started telling her friends she gonna be a star
I don't know, but I've been told
A big legged woman ain't got no soul

Oh yeah,…

Youngbllood by The Naked & Famous

Misheard lyric: "The bittersweet at M.I.T."
Correct lyric: "The bittersweet between my teeth"

From the pretty religious song that was popular in 1970

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water, put your hand in the hand of the man calmed the sea .

I thought they said Put your hand in the hand of the man who stoled the water!!!

Ever hear a song and you sing along to it for years and later find out the lyrics you were saying all along were wrong???

For me, growing up I loved that song "Blinded by the Light" the version done by Manfred Man. I always used to think that part of the song where they say: Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.

I used to sing it like this:
Blinded by the light
revved up like a douche like a roller in the night.

ROTFLMAO!!!!

:lol: This is the song I came in to mention. Only I heard it as....

Blinded by like the light
Wake up like a douche in the middle of the night

:lol: This is the song I came in to mention. Only I heard it as....

Blinded by like the light
Wake up like a douche in the middle of the night

And Manfred Mann's Earth Band got that Springsteen lyric! It was not "revved up like a deuce, " it was "cut loose like deuce!" :p

On the other hand, Manfred Mann did give Springsteen a well-deserved boast by having his band cover songs from Bruce's first album (they covered "For You" and "Spirit In the Night" as well).

Other misheard lyrics show up in covers. The line "her ribbons and her bows have fallen from her curls" in Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman" became "her ribbons and her bows and the problems from her curls" when Joe Cocker covered it.

Led Zeppelin's "Poor Tom":
Misheard: "But what about that bracelet on your knee?"
Correct: "But what about that grandson on your knee?"

In the Spinners song "Games People Play," bass singer Pervis Jackson sings "12:45" at the start of the last verse. I thought he was singing, "A porridge pie!" Mmmm - tasty! :lol:

"Controversy" by Prince - When I first heard this song in 1981, not knowing who Prince was at the time or whose song this was at all, I heard him sing the title - "controversy" - and, hearing him recite the Lord's Prayer in the song, thought he'd been singing "Got your blessing!" :lol:

King Crimson's "Neal and Jack and Me":
Misheard: "Strange spaghetti in the silent city."
Correct: "Strange spaghetti in the solemn city."

Buffalo Springfield's For What It's Worth (Stop, Hey What's That Sound).

Misheard lyric: Stop, hey what's that sound? Everybody look what's going 'round.

Correct lyric: Stop, hey what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down.

I first heard this song when I was a kid in the late 70s or maybe early 80s. And I always thought it was "round" instead of "down". And I just learned the correct lyric a couple of days ago. I know this mistake isn't particularly interesting or funny and probably doesn't really change the meaning of the line but I thought I'd add it anyways.

Ed.

Talking Heads' "This Must be the Place" (SMS version):
Misheard:
"I love all those kinds of people.
"You've got a face with a view."

Actual:
"Out of all those kinds of people,

In Graham Nash's "Chicago," the female backup singers are repeatedly singing, "It's dying." I thought they were singing, "It's starting."

1.Don't Stop (Til you get enough) - Michael Jackson
Misheard - "Keep up with the Flinstones."
Correct - "Keep on with the force don't stop."

2. How forever feels - Kenny Chesney
Misheard - "I wanna know how the river feels."
Correct - "I wanna know how forever feels."

3. Mountain Music - Alabama
Misheard - "Oh play me some kind of music."
Correct - "Oh play me some Mountain Music."

4. Under Pressure - Queen & David Bowie
Misheard - "Dial up put your dial on me."
Correct - "Pressure pushing down on me."

5. Stayin Alive - Bee Gees
Misheard - "Stay in the line, stay in the line."
Correct - "Stayin alive, stayin alive."

6. The Bottle Let Me Down - Merle Haggard
Misheard - "Inside the bottle let me down."
Correct - "Tonight the bottle let me down."

for years I thought The Beach Boys song "BARBARA ANN" was "Barber-rent":lol: . Whenever I heard it I would always say "What the hell does Barber-rent mean?"
And I always thought the first line-"went to a dance looking for romance" was "went to a rant looking for a rent".:lol:

"Hang On Sloopy" by The McCoys. First time I heard it.."Hang on

I'm A Believer by The Monkees

https://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/monkeeslyrics.jpg

Actual lyrics: “Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer.”

I just realized a few years ago that in Toto's song Africa, it's "I'd bless the rains down in Africa and not "I'd miss the rains down in Africa. I'd always thought that's what it was, not very funny or interesting I know. Actually, I think the way I was mishearing it makes more sense. What on earth does it mean to "bless the rains" anyway? How would one "bless the rains"? I just don't get it.
