Misheard Lyrics

[Gryffindorian]

My brother gets Angel of the Morning by Juice Newton wrong:

Just call me angel of the morning, (angel)
Just *brush my teeth* before you leave me, baby ...

*touch my cheek

My fav misheard lyrics video by far.

Yea that song is one big misheard lyric!

 

[Random_Spock]

My mom did a nice pair of mishearings today while listening to the song 'Eminence Front' by the Who.

Instead of:

Behind an eminence front
Eminence front, it's a put on
It's an eminence front

She heard:

I've been living in a truck

and

I've been living in a trunk

I used to think Tom Petty's "The waiting is the hardest part" is "The way-ay is the heart is part" which actually still works pretty well for that song.

George Michael's "I never gonna dance again/Guilty feet have got no rhythm" was "I'm never gonna dance again/if you feel I've got no rhythm". White guy problems...

Stevie Nicks of course sang "Just like the wandering girl sings a song...".


I didn't hear this wrong initially but once you sing Beastie Boys Intergalactic's "Another Dimension Another Dimension" as "I have an erection I have an erection" you'll never go back. Same with Elton John's "Hold me closer, Tony Danza...".

...Same with Elton John's "Hold me closer, Tony Danza...".

Good one!

'Sway' ... Other dancers may pee on the floor???

And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly
Would you still Auf Wiedersehen!

Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days":

He could throw that speedball by you
Making love like a poolboy.

Supposed to be: He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy.

That explains why many porn movies take place around pools...

Been getting this one wrong for years!


From Invisble Touch -- Genesis:

What I think it is --

She seems to have an invisible attraction yeah
She reaches in, grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible attraction yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart.


The actual lyrics --

She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
She reaches in, grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart.


Big thanks to Phil Collins and his enunciation.

If You Don't Know Me By Now by Simply Red

Oh, don't get so excited
I come home a little late at night
Cuz we only have black children*
When we argue, fuss and fight!

Supposed to be:

"Cuz we only act like children"

 

[Owain Taggart]

Big thanks to Phil Collins and his enunciation.

I think I like your version better

 

[Discofan]

I think I like your version better

So do I!

As for Invisible Touch, I bet there were a lot of people who thought Phil Collins was Canadian, thinking it was "She seems to have an invisible touch, eh"

Two from Heart and one from Pat Benatar that I used to think I heard back in junior high:

"These Dreams" - "White skin, in a lemon, is perfume on my wrist." (It's actually "white skin, in a linen - perfume on my wrist".) I had read somewhere that ladies earlier in history had used fruit peels to scent themselves with, and I thought that was what she was saying due to the somewhat medieval feel of the song and video.

"Who Will You Run To" - "Who's gonna run your fear's coup de tat?" (It's actually "who's gonna run your fears til they die".) I still like mine better.

"We Belong" - "Whatever we deny or rephrase, the words all fall better, as 'we belong' - we belong, we belong together." (It's actually "Whatever we deny or embrace, for worse or for better, we belong. We belong, we belong together.") I still alternate this one in when singing along to it, even though I know i got it wrong - especially if I'm not paying a lot of attention at the moment.

This hit, that ice cold
Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold
This one for them hood girls
Them good girls, they masturbate!

I love this thread!
