Misheard Lyrics...

I was listening to *Hear Me Out *by Frou Frou
and I thought I heard her sing "Spoke cards and Fixie gears..."

but instead she was singing "Cue cards and Fix-it kits"

what a let down...

So any one else want to share their misheard lyrics?

I thought MC Hammers 'Can't Touch This' was:

'King Testes'

Somehow the backing vocalist has managed to make Jai Ho sound like dirty ho on the Pussycat Dolls latest single.

Also misheard Automatics Monster as What's that coming over the hill, is it a bus stop? Thoroughly confused for an afternoon on that one.

Friend of mine, I swear:

Rolling Stones: Beast of Burden
I'll never leave, your pizza burnin'

ZZ Top: Sharp Dressed Man
Every girl's crazy about a shark that's dead

many years ago, I honestly thought the Beatles sang 'she's got a cheeky giraffe'...(instead of ticket to ride...)

Creedance Clearwater Revival

To me "There's a bad moon on the rise" at the end of the chorus has always sounded like "the bathroom's on the right."

OK, now I'm hungry.

Jimi: Purple Haze..... 'scuse me while I kiss this guy.

The stranglers

Through my Mansheera
[through my mind she ran]

I thought they were talking about some weird Indian god…

Not exactly mis-heard lyrics,

But I actually though Cherry Pie by Warrant was actually about his love for baked cherry pies and not about him losing their virginity.

I always thought that the Pretenders were singing about "making us fart" in Back on the Chain Gang"

You take your Calderwood(sic)?!?!
I'll take my board.
And when you're out of fuel.
I'm still a float.

Replace Calderwood with car to work and it makes sense.

Weezer btw.

The literary term is a "mondegreen".

YouTube - ken lee- good quality (english subs) funny!!

Just corrected this entry on a lyric site:

Good evening parents
Tonight I'm gonna take you on a tour of club Bad
Where all the bad little kiddies go
to try to leave their bodies
By any means necessary
Some things that you quite won't be accustomed to

So I decrypt each and everyone of you to be own individual
Camera so that you can take pictures of these bad little kiddies
Doing these bad little things for tomorrow's paper

So that will be 15 dollars
And prepare to enter club bad

Would you know it's not here than more than 30 seconds
And already I see a bad little kid doing bad little things
He is sucking on a balloon
Now this is not an ordinary balloon parents it is filled with nitrous oxide
Laughing gas (Ha ha ha ha ha)
But this is no laughing matter
Cameras ready prepare to flash

Now over here we have little Johnny and miss Joyce smoking on a joint
This is not the thing to fo'
I think we have to take pictures of these two
Cameras ready prepare to flash

Here we have some naughty naughty kids
They bought in some of their own liquor to the park
Now we can can not have that now can we
Six packs and pints I think not so
Cameras ready prepare to flash

Good evening parents
Tonight I'm gonna take you on a tour of club Bad
Where all the bad little kiddies go
to try to leave their bodies
By various means and methods anything necessary
Some things that you, quite won't be accustomed to

So I've equipped each and every one of you with your own individual camera
so that you can take pictures of these bad little kiddies
Doing these bad little things for tomorrow's paper

So whip out your 15 dollars
And prepare to enter club bad

Wouldn't you know it, not here than more than 30 seconds
And already I see a bad little kid doing bad little things
He is sucking on a balloon
Now this is not an ordinary balloon parents
it's a balloon filled with the gas, nitrous oxide
Laughing gas (hi hi hi Ha ha)
But this is no laughing matter
Cameras ready prepare to flash

Now over here we have little Johnny and Miss Sue
Smoking on a joint!
This is not the thing to do
I think that we have to take pictures of these two
Cameras ready prepare to flash

Now over here we have some naughty naughty kids
They bought in their own liquor to the party
Now we can can not have that now parents can we
Six packs and pints, I think not, so
Cameras ready prepare to flash

Good old Curtis

I remember a friend of mine proudly plucked one of the green things from his head when he was performing.

I have some of his vinyl back in Oz. Seen him play once.

Blue Monday

I see a ship in the harbour
I see a shallow bay

Obviously that's right, no?

No. Turns out I've been wrong for 40 years.

I see a ship in the harbour
I can and shall obey

I always hear Icon and shallow bay, which makes no sense.

Not I can a shower obey then?

This is a nice and relevant word, I remember thinking it was interesting when I heard it on University Challenge:
