Missheard lyrics

Former Member

My boyfriend told me the other day that he thought one bit in Lithium by Nirvana went:

I'm so horny/ that's ok, my willy's good!

Still makes me giggle to think of it....

We both think that the real lyrics in Bowie's Life on Mars ('Lennon's on sale again') is vastly inferior to the 'Lenin's on sale again' that we used to think were correct - not such a great political commentary!

Are there any other great clangers of lyrics you've missheard?

used to have a friend when younger that thought the song Prefab Sprout - King of rock and roll was about his dad because his dad was called Albert Kirky.

hot dog, jumping frog, albert kirky...

That wasn't a mishearing after all -Hendrix did say that!
The archive of misheard lyrics ( www.kissthisguy.com ) has the original recording.

As for my own misheard lyrics... The funniest one I can remember was in a Greek song so you won't know how it sounded similar, but here's the translations:

Original: "Why wasn't that enough for you?"
I heard: "What force do you need for this?"

And one in English, but not so funny:

Original: "You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything"
I heard: "You left me two e-mails with all..."

Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones:

no more will my green seagull turn a deeper blue
i could not forsee this thing happening to you

not sure if i'd rather have a blue or a green seagull, they'd probably both just poo everywhere and nick my chips :mad:

When I was young I was a big follower of Liverpool. When I was about 6 I made a big fuck off poster with the banner and emblem and everything.

But instead of having: "You'll never walk alone" I'd put "You'll never walk again"

How apt at such a young age Still get ripped by my mum about that to this day

Bunnie

I was convinced for many many years, the song was Must hang Sally...

I always thought it was a bit harsh tbh!

Iron Maiden:
Real lyric: Fear of the dark
How i hear it: Fear of the duck

The main one I can think of was a relatively unknown amateur track (from mp3.com - R.I.P.) called E Naive - If I Had A Choice. A mate of mine, hearing the song thought it went ..if I had a joint :-)
