How did you screw up the lyrics?
Okay, the UO post got me thinking about all the lyrics I've botched.
You know the song, "Have you seen her?" by the Chi-lites? MC Hammer redid it (yes ... MC Hammer) and the part where it says, "Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen her?"
I was singing, "Have you seen her? Tony have you seen her?"
My friend just busted out laughing and said, "Who's TONY?"

Mondegreens! I love these!
"Bald-headed woman" =/= "More than a woman" (Bee Gees song)
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by AD/DC ... I thought the lyrics were Dirty Deeds Done To Sheep.
My brother thought it was Dirty deeds and Dun Dirt Cheese when he was little. We always teased him and asked him to explain what Dun Dirt Cheese was.
HAHAHA!
A girl growing up thought, "It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda hectic" was "skin, skin, skin gotta have it."
AHAHAHA
Okay I have one:
"Take me down to the very last city" was what I thought the lyrics were to "Paradise City"...
LOL ... bwhahahaha. I keep repeating that in my head to that tune and it's killing me! Hahahaha.
Great thread Chrissie! After this week I definitely need the laughs.
Springsteen's 'Dancing in the Dark"- "You can't start a fire inside your heart"...yeah it's "without a spark".
Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!
AHAHAHA
I doubt anyone has heard this song, but there is a song, "Taxi" by Harry Chapin and it starts out, "It was rainin' hard ... in Frisco ..."
I used to sing, "It was rainin' hard ... in Crisco ..."
Apparently I thought it was raining in lard.
Holy crap. Dying.
LOL I totally have "bald-headed woman" in falsetto in my head.
BWAHAHAHA! I'm glad I'm not the only one who sings "douche" with those lyrics!
ETA: What are the real lyrics to that line anyway? Couldn't possibly be douche eh? That would be too funny ..
I went back to school so I was the 'elder' among all the 18 yr olds. They would ALWAYS ask me to clarify lyrics to classic songs
There's a bad moon on the rise =/= There's a bathroom on the right
Excuse me while I kiss this guy =/= Excuse me while I kiss the sky
wrapped up like a douche =/= Revved up like a deuce
Oh oh! This one isn't mine, but my friend had her realization of her mistake with me while we were at kareoke.
Alanis Morisette's "You oughta know"
She thought the line "It's not fair to deny me of the cross I bear that you gave to me"
was
"It's not fair to deny me of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me."
She thought Alanis was upset about a teddy bear with crossed eyes. And she thought this until like... last year.
Okay, I just laughed loudly.
Danica 10.22.10 | Milo 12.23.12
My girlfriend sang Aaliyah's "More than a lover" as "More than a llama."
She also sang "Leavin on a trampoline" instead of jet plane.
I wish I were kidding lol she is a great singer and was so sure of herself.
It's revved up like a deuce. So close!
Umm that's what they're saying? I thought it was Dirty Deitz and the Dunder Chief and I literally didn't know the real words until this post. Wow!
Anyhoo does anyone remember when JC from NSync tried to go solo, he had this song blowin me up with her love, my best friend thought he was saying blowing me up with murder.
And another dumb moment for me, Celine Dion's I'm your lady and you are my man is not I'm your leader and you are my men.
I think I woke up the twins with the laugh I just let out. LMAO
I used to think "Secret Agent Man" was really "Secret Asian Man." I still have trouble remembering which one is the real lyric.
I had a friend in jr. high who swore to us that the line from "Yesterday" (you know, the Beatles) was "White sheep had to go I don't know," rather than "Why she had to go I don't know..." She actually argued with us when we tried to tell her what it really was.
LMAO. I totally say that all the time to that song!
When I was in 7th or 8th grade (wow this is a long long time ago), a girl's mother thought Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Streets, was Dancing in the Sheets.
This is one of the best threads I have seen in a long time.
My college roommate could never get "Omaha" by Counting Crows right
"Guadalajara, some where in middle America" When we explained it she was all, ooh, now the middle America part makes sense. Best part, she actually was a music major (although she couldn't sing a note)
I grew up singing to ABBA:
"Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee I'm mad at the moonlight" =/= gimmee gimmee gimme a man after midnight
