The real lyrics were:
All my girls at the party.
Look at that body,
shaking that thing.

But I misheard them as:
Oh my God! It's a body!
Look at that body,
shaking that thing.


The embarrassing moment of revelation:
My friend and I were walking by a record store where the song was playing. When I heard that line, I asked my friend why Janet chose to sing a song with such morbid lyrics. It turns out she didn't and that I've misheard it all along.

Actually, Bruce Springsteen, who wrote the darned song, sang "Cut loose like a deuce," not "revved up like a deuce," in his original 1973 version. :)

Here are some of mine from Control::rotfl:

Unheard: When I was 17, I did what people told me
Did what my father said, and called my mother mommy

Here are the incorrect lyrics to "I Am the Cute" by Mary-Kate & Ashley:

Incorrect: I got the lips, I got the brain.

And this is also an incorrect song for "The Hideaway" by the 5th Dimension taken from an old album called "The Age of Aquarius":

Incorrect: Like an elephant, you must fly.
Correct: Like an elephant, you must ride.

I know that the lyrics to the 5th Dimension's "Hideaway", the incorrect lyrics "Elephant, you must fly" was referring to a Disney movie "Dumbo" that an elephant did fly. That's weird.

You must listen to the original version by Bruce Springsteen or Manfred Mann's version of "Blinded By the Light". You know how this one goes.

"don't tell me" by avril lavigne

heard: little bunny foo foo hopping through the forest, scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head

I found one mistake lyric used for the Little Audrey theme song. I've heard that song that it was stuck in my head so many times. Here is the incorrect lyric:

Incorrect: Little Audrey dead.:eek:
Correct: Little Audrey says.

I've heard that since I woke up early this morning on my IPod while the alarm goes off. That theme song used at the beginning of every Little Audrey cartoon. Strange! Kinda like a "Paul McCartney is Dead" rumor.

At work, the radio was on and a song called "When It's Over" by the band Loverboy was playing.

There's a line that goes "I hope you're with me, I hope you're with me, when it's over". One of my co-workers, who wasn't familiar with the song asked me, "Is he singing 'I'm Oprah Winfrey, I'm Oprah Winfrey'"? :lol:

Seriously.

"Got To Get You Into My Life" by the Beatles

It came out as a single in 1976, and it was a Top Ten hit, so I thought it was a Paul McCartney solo single. And I thought I heard references to two things that were popular in 1976:

Incorrect lyric: "I didn't know that I was Fonzie."
Correct lyric: "I didn't know what I would find there."

Incorrect lyric: "Where maybe I could see another kind of Monza (as in a Chevrolet Monza)."

Correct lyric: "Where maybe I could see another kind of mine there."

I swear I thought I heard this when I first heard Jim Croce's "Workin' At the Car Wash Blues" when I was little!

I thought I heard "Don't expect to see me when you double your feet and have my eyebrows finally glued." :rofl:

The correct lyric, by the way, is "Don't expect to see me with no double martini in any highbrow society news."

This misheard lyric is sad considering I like a lot of the Beatles music. But, the lyrics in the "I Saw Her Standing There" song, I have always heard:
And the way she looked was way beyond a man.

The actual lyrics are:
"And the way she looked was way beyond compare."


I feel so stupid considering I like a lot of the Beatles music.

I was thinking, "What's a Cycle Ranger?":confused: Then I started thinking about the Power Rangers, though the PR hadn't come out yet.;) :D :o IBut, it is possible that the PR could have a new series called Cycle Rangers, since they have so many other "new series" with different names.:D ;)

I Heard: "I like your pony. I like your pony. mony mony."

I knew I was right! I did hear "Ride Your pony". Because looking up "Mony Mony" another website gave me the lyrics with, "Ride your pony" in them. The first lyrics page I had looked at completely took out the verse that says, "Ride your pony" here is the FULL lyrics to Mony Mony

http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/6464/lyrics/mony_mony.html

Here is the one that takes out the "Ride your pony" lyrics

I Heard:" She's a maniac, maniac, at your door(but I thought it sounded more like "She's a maniac, maniac, ach/atch your door)"

At the end of Crosby and Nash's "Immigration Man," Graham Nash changes the line "immigration man" to "irritation man;" I thought he changed it to "imitation man."

I heard the Beach Boys song "Barbara Ann" wrong. I heard the song as "Bob For Rent". Needless to say, I was totally confused when I heard the song and then laughed after I saw the actual title.

I heard Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together" before I heard the original Beatles recording. Steven Tyler slurred the opening line so much, I thought he was singing, "Yeah, come on, flatjaw, he come oozing out soda." The opening line, of course, is "Here come old flat top, he come grooving up slowly."

John Lennon based it on a line from Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me:" "Here comes a flat top, he was moving up with me."

Jim Croce - "Operator (That's Not the The Way It Feels)"

The Smashing Pumpkins song "Tristessa." Here's how I heard it:

The Smashing Pumpkins song "Tristessa." Here's how I heard it:

NOTES: *: I also heard it as "did." **: I also heard it as
"once you reveal
your wish to cancel."

Here are the official lyrics:

Jeff Beck's "Tallyman." I thought these were the words to one verse:
"Shoes and socks are wearin' for the children.
Billy Bop, or in the latest style.
From the tallyman, oh yeah, from the tallyman."

Now here are the real words.

On Shonen Knife's "Wild Life", i could have SWORN the words were..." The mini skirt and Yellow hat, lie on top of each other"; as it turns out, the ACTUAL words are "The minute hand, and hour hand ( a clock ), lie on top of each other" ( Personally, i liked the lyrics better MY way! ) :D

"FLy Like an Eagle" by the Steve Miller Band

Correct lyric: "Shoe the children with no shoes on their feet."
Incorrect lyric: "Should the children wear no shoes on their feet?"

Let's not forget the CLASSIC incorrect lyrics song....LOUIE LOUIE....
For years the "Garage band" version by the Kingsmen has been touted as the first song to feature "dirty" lyrics in "Top Ten" history; however, this is only because the lead singer tended to slur his words as he sang. In reality, he sang the EXACT same words as songwriter Richard Berry, who did the original, as a "sea shanty", with his band "The Phaorohs" :

Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go

Fine little girl waits for me
Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home

CHORUS

Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she's there
I smell the rose in her hair.

CHORUS

Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!

GUITAR SOLO

See Jamaica, the moon above
It won't be long, me see me love
Take her in my arms again
Tell her I'll never leave again

CHORUS

Cream's "Deserted Cities of the Heart." Here's how I hear the first verse:
"On the streets where time (have) died
The golden treat you never died.
In times of old. In days gone by.
If I could catch a dancing eye."

Now here's the one that's on the Internet:

"Limelight," Rush

Correct lyric: "Living in a fisheye lens."
Incorrect lyric: "Living in the Fish Islands."

I thought, "The Fish Islands? Where the heck are they?"

"Fox On the Run" - Sweet

Correct lyric: "But the rest of you is out of place."
Incorrect lyric: "I'm arresting you, it's out of space."

:lol:
