Major Isewater Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I found myself singing the John Foxx eighties hit ' Underpass ' this morning but have always sung ' underpants ' ! I also thought Sting's ' Fields of Gold ' was a but hot with the line " feel her body rise when you kiss her muff " Sadly I misheard these lyrics but they always make me smile . I also avoid both tunes at Karaoke nights Can you add any amusing misheard lyrics ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Well i used to think that Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run contained the line "tramps like us, baby we were born to run" which i thought should of been "chance like us, baby we were born to run" and i was clearly mishearing it....well turns out i was wrong, yet right all along and it is tramps.

Dollymarie Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Oh god I mishear stuff in songs all the time. I'll just leave this one here Plus I can't hear Beyonces "Crazy in love" without hearing the line "Sammi Hyypia save me right now" (enjoy the video or just skip to 59 seconds and it's just after that) Don't get me started. I could post a bunch of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 My eight year-old enjoys what he calls 'the porky blenders song'. By which he is mishearing 'forza eastenders' but frankly I prefer porky blenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 As a kid, I couldn't understand the meaning of the Beatles song "Take the black rider". I heard it many times before realising it was "Paperback writer". In "Purple Haze" people have discussed for man years whether Jimi Hendrix sang "Scuse me while I kiss the sky" or was it "Scuse me while I kiss this guy". 43 seconds in to the link below.

CyderInACan Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 I always thought that in the starship song they sang "stanley's gone forever" as opposed to the ludicrous lyric of "standing strong forever " - a lifetime of feeling sorry for poor old Stanley ruined https://g.co/kgs/fAUoPb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 How about this one then for probably 50years .... I believed that 'someone in the grate somewhere hears every word' As in an imaginary little leprechaun type person sat by the fire earwigging ... :laugh: It honestly not been that long since I realised my mistake ..... anyway here's The Bachelors from way back when singing a lovely little song called I Believe ..... (I believe they made me into a paranoid little chap who never felt alone in the living room, and always kept the poker handy just in case... ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcYFbg1r99g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 The Kinks ... Apeman (1969/70) One line that created debate among classmates was... "the air pollution is *mucking up my eyes...'' It wouldn't raise an eyebrow nowadays of course but back then there was great excitement with the possibility of an *f word in the lyrics, it was alas just * 'mucking'.. Great song though.

Norn Iron Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Twenty years after the song Into The Valley by Scottish New Wavers The Skids entered the charts, I finally found out what "More than a slow go" meant. You'll hear it a few times throughout the song. Richard Jobson might well be singing "Boy , man and soldier" but to me it'll always be 'More than a slow go.' https://youtu.be/ 6sDKdwpnXVI File this alongside Desmond Dekker's My Ears Are Alight.

Reigate Red Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 One closer to home from the Fulham matchday thread (apologies to the writer for resurrecting this - sorry): Apologies if it has already been mentioned, but a chant at the game yesterday I hadn't heard before and really couldn't understand what the words were, to me it sounded like... "ee-ore is an asslicker, ee-ore is an asslicker" etc Anyone care to shed some light? The song actually was - "Ooooh arr it's a massacre" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Not a song lyric, but Dave Allen's confusion with the liturgy at funerals made I laugh. In the name of the Father and of the Son, into the hole he goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the name of the Father and of the Son, into the hole he goes! Dave Allen, now there's a blast from the past. My Dad was never a great tv watcher, and even less of a comedy watcher but he did like Dave Allen, Alf Garnet and Mike Yarwood. He was quite a religious man was my Dad, and I was very, very young but i realised it was a very odd mix for him to like. I'm straying off the subject, so to get back on track Desmond Dekker already mentioned was 'my ears are alight' and I seriously thought Keane's 'Bedshaped' was Bed Shed, only corrected when my kids caught me singing it!
