Look, I know this is more ILM territory but you guys are more fun. Come on then, let's hear 'em.

My current favourite is from David Gray's 'This Year's Love'

The proper lyrics are: 'This year's love had better last' Which I always thought were 'This year's love is pederast'

You've gotta admit this livens The Bland One up, somewhat.

When Chrissie Hynde sings on her version of "I Got you Babe" with UB40, it sounds like she sings "And when I get skint, you're always around", which is much better than "scared".

― MarkH, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I misheard a Strokes line ("tomorrow it is different") for something seemingly thoughtful ("you're morally indifferent") and momentarily flipped.

― Nitsuh, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

my mum though that 'love shack' by the B52s was 'loan shark'.

and the entire Grocott clan thought that in 'oh carolina', Shaggy was singing 'jump on frogs' when i think it was 'jump and prance'.

there's an interweb site about this: www.amiright.com/misheard

My favorite misheard lyric of all time: "Blinded by the light/Wrapped up like a douche/Another runner in the night"

― Dan Perry, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think everyone misheard that one at one point or another. Why can't Springsteen *really* write like that?

I always thought the "Remember! Remember!" bit in "Fame" by Irene Cara was "Keep it up!" when I was ten. Oops.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm almost bored of this subject ("ooh - get him!") but I have to point out that Nicole's

Miserable Lie is okay, but I haven't liked it as much as I used to since I found out Morrissey was singing "Nobody ever looks at me twice" instead over "Nobody ever brings me mice".

on the One Bad Track thread is probably my favourite thing ever on ILM.

― Nick, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"We're making love in a femidom" instead of "We're making love open the family door" from Sister Sledge's "We Are Family". My version scans better.

― Trevor, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, and my mate Stu's ex singing "I wanna be a dog" instead of "I wanna be adored". She had to go after that howler. He's a huge Stone Roses fan.

― Trevor, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've never forgotten the genuine feeling with which my friend sang "Why...Why... Whyyyyyyyyy" instead of Vibe (R Kelly) before we all pissed ourselves laughing at him.

― Madchen, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Sex Pistols "Anarchy in the UK"...I also thought they sang "I wanna destroy, passer by"...turns out it was "possibly". I now think the SP's are just wusses.

― jel, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(it IS "passers-by", jel...)

― mark s, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"I was like an industry in Preston, in decline" - Scritti Politti, "Jacques Derrida".

"Would you like to swing on a star, carry Moomins home in a jar?" - Bing Crosby / Big Dee Irwin, "Swinging On A Star".

The title doesn't turn up in the lyrics at all, but for some reason I used to think "Light Flight" by the Pentangle was called "Late Flight".

― Robin Carmody, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(it IS "passers-by", jel...)

And here I always thought it was "power supply."

― Nitsuh, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Opps! thanks Mark S...Can I just explain that I got my lyric's from the Megadeth cover version...they must've changed it to possibly, therefore, I'm sorry to say that Megadeth are the wusses.

― jel, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There was some Smashing Pumpkins song that goes, "Bang bang, you're dead. Hole in your head." I thought it was "bang bang, you're dead. Holding your hand."

― maria, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

but megadeth introduced a FANTASTIC misheard-o viz:
J.Rotten: "another council tenancy"
D.Mustaine: "and other cunt-like tendencies"

― mark s, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My Burundian mate tells me that Chrissie Hynde/UB40 cover was a massive hit in his homeland. Only v.few speak English and have any idea what they're singing about.

Equally popular was Ali Campbell's slick-back haircut which was rapidly copied by the hipsters in downtown Bujumbura. Apparently it is called an 'Aahgachubay'.

― stevo, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wanna destroy, possibly??? Ahahaha! Well, my friend Marina thought they were singing "Bodies! On the banana boat!" instead of "I'm not an animal." That always had me in stitches. She also claimed that she thought X, on the song "Nausea" were singing "Nausea! Bloody red asshole! Nausea! Bloody red asshole!" instead of "bloody red eyes of". Lovely image, huh?

― Arthur, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Cool Mark, my faith in Dave Mustaine is restored.

― jel, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I thought At The Gates screamed "My Judas window stays shut...shut for Roger Moore" when, in fact, they said: "...shut for evermore."

I once saw on Dance Energy (remember that anyone?) a girl sing along to Apache Indian's "Chok There". You could clearly see her mouth these words: "Drop dead" instead of "chok there".

― Kodanshi, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

1st time I heard "Pain in my Heart" by Otiose Redoing (= actual spellcheck suggestions!) I thunk that he was singing "Painted my car", no maybe it's "Hated my pa". I was stoned of course.

― duane, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Has Britney Spears done a Josie and the Pussycats and started shamelessly plugging middlebrow pet food?

kitekat, kitekat

― Graham, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can never understand the Sex Pistols. EVER. (Except for "I'm in love with myself, my beautiful self.")

― maria, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

my mother misheard "love in an elevator" as "loving a man like rita"...which is so clockwork-pefect in it's own ridiculousness that it needs no further discussion.

― jess, Friday, 7 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body."
~'Erotica' Madonna.

Not one of mine I hasten to add, an ex-girlfriends' friend.

― DavidM, Saturday, 8 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

another website matching this thread is www.kissthisguy.com. sorry, still can't do that html shit.

hey dan, there's a whole article in rollerderby about the misheard-ness of "blinded by the light". its funny.

i can only think of one lyric i've misheard right now. i thought "international nickle" by the Aesthetics was "international nipple". but probably only the dunedin people would know that, so i'll get back to you about other lyrics i've misheard.

― di, Sunday, 9 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Just thought of another one. Bon Jovi "Living on a Prayer". I thought it was "Gina she's a-dying of AIDS" instead of "Gina works the diner all day." And yet she still works for her man and brings home the pay! For love! I thought it showed great sensitivity for a pop metal Top 40 act to be putting forth an anthem for the heterosexual HIV+ community in '85 or whenever it was.

― Arthur, Sunday, 9 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

EVERYONE HELP. Does 'Bootylicious' by Destiny's Child go

'I don't think you're ready/ For this jelly'?

― maryann, Sunday, 9 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

maryann, you betcha.

My favourite mishearing is someone's little sister asking about the TLC song 'Chasing Waterfalls' - "So who the heck is this Jason Waterfalls guy anyway?".

― Kim, Sunday, 9 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'I don't think you're ready/ For this jelly'?
This refers to their behind wiggling when they dance.

i used to think sister sledge sung.... "just let me staple the vicar, we'll give him love and a femedon"

― Vickie Williams, Wednesday, 21 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

veruca salt 'wolf'

ACTUAL LYRIC:
when you fell
waters were dancing
in a dark place
I closed my eyes to see
your determined face

I HEARD:
when you fell
waters were dancing
in a dark place
I closed my eyes to see
your turnip face

― rainy, Tuesday, 4 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"islands in the stream" dolly parton and kenny rogers.

when i was a little girl i had a dirty mind and i thought they were singing "sail away with me/to another world/and we will lie on each other, uh-huh."

― di, Tuesday, 4 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I used to hear "There's nothing I wouldn't take oh even intravenous" as "There's nothing I wouldn't take, I'd even mention Venus", and also "There's nothing I wouldn't be, oh that's the gift of schizo" as "There's nothing I wouldn't be, oh let's get our skates on". Both the above are from Scritti Politti's "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin" and I have an awful feeling they may have been Twisted Lyrics on the Bruno Brookes show. I only found out my mistake when I bought "Cupid and Psyche '85" the other week.

Also: on "The Sun Always Shines On TV" does Morten Harket genuinely sing "I feel the crazy lonely looks the mayor is sending me these days", or is that just me and / or Brookes?

― Robin Carmody, Wednesday, 5 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yesterday, I misheard Abba's "Chiquitita" as "Chicken Tikka"...in fact I can't singing "Chicken Tikka" now!

― james, Wednesday, 5 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one month passes...

i used to work with a woman who claims to have spent the 70s singing along to Sarah Brightman's: 'I lost my heart to a draught excluder' but i think she was lying. and i used to go out with a woman who claims to have spent the 80s singing the backing vocals to the eurythmics: there must be an angel, as 'must be talking to a mini-cheddar', but i think she was a mentalist.

― dbini, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My sister totally misheard Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat":

"There's candy in my heels tonight, Big Ben"

― Chris Lyons, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

In Roachford's "Get Ready", where I presume he's singing "Get ready for me darling", I always used to hear "Get ready for the dormy", a kind of warning on the experience of going to a girls' boarding school. Given that his biggest hit was called "Cuddly Toy" with the chorus "You gotta feel for me baby", his entire career can be read as a summary of the combination of sweet innocence and shameless incest that characterises these institutions.

Sorry.

Also "I found a new hermeneutic" from Scritti Politti's "Lover To Fall" sounds to me like "I found a new kind of music": *all* the long words on _Cupid and Psyche '85_ could easily pass for something much less complicated, perhaps why it did so well and got so much airplay.

― Robin Carmody, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The liner notes for my copy of The Jam's Setting Sons didn't include the lyrics for "Girl on the Phone." So, like the naive girl I was, I neatly typed up the lyrics, as I heard them, including "Says she knows everything about me . . . (I forget the middle) . . . and leg measurements on the side of my clock." and put them in the record sleeve.

I subsequently lent the album to an older friend who gently pointed out that I had misheard "size of my cock" without actually telling me what the lyric was. It took me a little while to figure it out. Ah, the innocence . . .

To this day, I still don't know what the "douche" lyric in "Blinded by the Light" really is. What

― felicity, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

numan, cars "keeps me stable for days" sounds like "kipsie staple four dice" the big ponce. no i don't know who kipsie is.

"I am the sun(son), and the air(heir)" from 'How Soon is Now', which I've always considered to be pretty hilarious messianic double entendre. Also, "coitus is nice, and coitus can stop you..."

― Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I always thought that about "How Soon is Now" as well -- it sounded suitably mystic.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Made for Each other" by Trembling Blue Stars. I thought "the like of their love again" was "the Lycra fell off again."

― MarkH, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Air's 'Sexy Boy', it really does sound like they're singing sexy pudding. Listen to it again, it may sound unbelievable, but it does.

― Anna, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

'When I was a child, I was put on a diet' rah Kate Bush is the only person who can make 'dark' into 'diet'. She is my heroine.

"theres a BEAST for you, in my heart. i tell you its true, from the start". ahhh, one of my favourite songs as a kid. it was only three years ago that i found out that the chorus was nowhere near as horror-filmish.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Saturday, 9 August 2003 22:51 (twenty-two years ago)

until I was 13 I thought Madonna was singing "young girl with eyes like potatoes" in La Isla Bonita, and when I sing along that's still what I sing.

I also thought that "you're skin and bones, turned into something beautiful" was a really sweet line in Coldplay's Yellow, but it turned out to be the more prosaic "your skin and bones turn into something beautiful". Hmph.

― The Lex (The Lex), Saturday, 9 August 2003 23:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I was listening to "Helter Skelter" once and when Paul sang "I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you" I thought he was singing "the time for a full-fledged race war is now". Whoops!

I was with my boyfriend's friends one night when the song "Gimme Shelter" by the Rolling Stones started playing, and I was just buzzed enough to sing along out loud, which I would never do sober, and in a loud and impassioned voice I cried out: "War, Matilda, is just a shot away!" Everyone laughed at me but I was convinced that Mick was singing to some woman named Matilda, and we argued about it off and on all night.

Also, as discussed in a chat some time ago, I'm pretty sure the lead singer of Weezer (whatever his name is) arbitrarily alternates the words "Ass Wipe" with "Hash Pipe" in their hit song.

kinda misheard even though all the words are there... I was listening to Kenny Rogers' "the gambler" and out popped this line

And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, if you’re gonna play the Gameboy, ya gotta learn to play it right.

Damn right!

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 21:04 (twenty-one years ago)

omg hahaha I had a similar thing with the previous line!! For MONTHS I thought that line said

"You're a sin, though you're worth sinning for" and i was like OMG WHAT A ROMANTIC!!! And then i realised that i was the more MORONIC "you skin, oh yeah! your skin and bones" wtf????

well i guess we're all just fucking better poets than Chris Martin

A misheard song lyric is actually called a "mondegreen."

The word "mondegreen" is itself a mondegreen of "They hae slain the Earl o' Murray and laid him on the green," from the anonymous 17th century ballad The Bonnie Earl O' Murray, the last five words being misheard as "Lady Mondegreen".

See Wikipedia for some common hi-larious mondegreens:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen

Like: # "scuse me while I kiss this guy" from Purple Haze;
# "the girl with colitis goes by" from Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds;
# "climb every woman" from I'm Every Woman;
# "play that fucking music right boy" from Play That Funky Music;
# "spare him his life from his pork sausages" from Bohemian Rhapsody;
# "they paved paradise, and put up a fucking lie" from Big Yellow Taxi;
# "I buried Paul" from Strawberry Fields Forever;
# "hold me close you Tony Danza" from Tiny Dancer.

What were people thinking? I can only remember the misheard lyrics to that awful "Tugthumping" song; thought they were going on about "this is the lighter way" when it was "pissing the night away." Well it would make them lighter wouldn't it?

Yesterday I learned that Shaggy's "Mr. Boombastic" actually goes "they call me Mr. Boombastic, say me fantastic", rather than "semi-fantastic". For years I wondered what on earth "semi-fantastic" means.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:43 (twenty years ago)

haha yeah tuomas i thought that too! semi-fantastic is totally better. (semi-better)

Well, you know, his semi- is fantastic. Need a picture?

I just realized that all this time I've thought that in "Steppin' Razor," Peter Tosh was singing "I'm like a flashin' lightning on a rolling tundra"

In Morrissey's "He Knows I'd Love To See Him", he sings "When I lived in the arse of the world". Well, back years and years ago when I first bought that song, I never thought he was singing anything other than "When I lived in the icicle world". Go figure.

From http://www.justsomelyrics.com/592880/Outcast-Sorry-Mrs.-Jackson-Lyrics

Yeah, this one right here
goes out to all the babies momma's mommas,
momma's mommas Hahaha
Baby's mommas mommas
Yo, go like this...

[Chorus] x2
Im sorry Mrs.Jackson (wooo)
I am forreal
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times

[Verse 1]
My baby drama momma don't like me
She doin things like having boys
from her neighborhood to the studio
trying to fight me
She need to get a american pie and get her bite out That's my house,
I disconnected the cable and turned the lights out
I let her know that her grandchild is a baby
and not a paycheck
Private school, day care,
she had medical bills, I pay that
I love you mom and everything see
I aint the one who lay down
But when you wanna rip and start that cussin
and let my lawyer stay down
She never got the chance to hear
the side of my story, its was divided
She had fist fries, cookouts,
and the child birthday, I wasn't invited
I show her the upmost respect when
I walk through
All you do is defend that lady when I call you

[Chorus]x2
Im sorry Mrs.Jackson (wooo)
I am forreal
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times

[Verse 2]
Me and Your daughter
Gots this thing goin on
You say its puppy love
We say its full grown
Hope that we feel this
Feel this way forever
You can plan a pretty picnic
but u cant predict the weather
Mrs Jackson, time got a nine,
now if I'm lyin fine
The quickest muscle throw it on my mouth
and out decline
King meets queen
then the puppy love thing
together green about the Creole
with the good year swing
on my oak tree,
i hope we feel like this forever
forever foreverever forever ever?
Forever never seems that long until you grown
And notice the day
by day ruler cant be too long
Mrs. Jackson, my intentions were good
I wish i could,
become a magician ,
to abra ca dabra all this sadder
thoughts of me, thoughts of she,
thoughts of he asking what happened
to the feelin that couldn't we have
I pray so much about it I need some knee pads
It all happened for a reason,one can't be mad.
So know that everythings cool and
yes know that I'll be present
on the first of your school and graduation

[Chorus]
Im sorry Mrs.Jackson (wooo)
I am forreal
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times

[Verse 3]
Listen to the way he treats me,
she lookin at the way you treat me
see your lil nosey ass homegirls
got some ass filling up the creek , g ?
without a pad or got the strap
and ride this thing on out
and you and you girl ain't speakin anymore
cause my d**k all up in her mouth
talkin about jealousy, infidelity,
envy, cheating, beating,
and if you add to g's it would be the same thing
so who you placin the flame on?
you keep on singing that same song
let bygones be bygones
and you can go on and get the hell on,
you and yo momma

[Chorus]
Im sorry Mrs.Jackson (wooo)
I am forreal
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times

Eurythmics song tops misheard lyrics poll

... though the fact that never for one millisecond have I heard that lyric as "Sweet dreams are made of cheese" makes me doubt the veracity of this poll

It's no doubt been picked up upon by a few others around the net but Joe Elliott of Def Leppard singing 'Livin' like a lover with a red iphone' is a strangely anachronistic lyric. Apparently the real lyric is 'radar phone' which makes no sense at all, so maybe he was clairvoyant or something.

I just realized that I have always thought on Scenrio that Phife rapped "I'm vexed, fumin, I've had it up to here/my days of paying dues are over, and College B is in there, yeah"

I thought there must be some unknown rapper called College B that he was shouting out

An old one, an obvious one but I can't hear anything else on Ariane Grande's 'One Last Time': 'I know I shouldn't have farted / At least I'm being honest'

Thought I'd posted this one earlier but apparently not – quite a well-known one I think:
