Misheard lyrics

This isn't true, is it?

And if she keeps walking like that she will need a new spine soon.

For most of my childhood I thought Sade was singing "Ooooooh Bopper Ator"

I thought the backup singers were singing "Lot's wages" on "Showbiz Kids."

I thought Huey Lewis was singing "Now the oboe may be better tweeting, but the heart of rock and roll, the heart of rock and roll is still beating."

When i was younger for some bizarre reason i though that smoke on the water was soap on a rope

haha. I might use this for comic relief sometime.

Also: "Charleeeene don't like it / Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah"

A certain WFMU DJ and myself thought Lowell Fulson was singing about having a "fatback roll" in his pocket in "Tramp."

It wasn't until I heard a crappy cover of it this weekend during some equally crappy tv show or something that I realized it's actually "stay with your man awhile."

*hangs head in shame*

For the rest of our drive we couldn't stop going "Platypus...Platypus...Platypus..."

'caught up like a duce another runner in the night'

DUCE referring to :: a leader or commander; a chief.

that makes sense right?

"I'm fighting in a demon fight with you;
A demon fight with you."

and from the same song:

"Be my little baby, don juan, and only"

That's what you get for letting kids listen to music, I guess.

Smoke on the water / And fire in the sky

he thought it was:

Slow-motion Walter / That fire-engine guy

And then the character Phoebe on "Friends" mistook Elton John's (well, Bernie Taupin's) chorus in Tiny Dancer as:

"Hold me closer Tony Danza"

:)

small world

1.) You'll say anything to a butterfly (If this is It)

2.) I wanna new drug, wetherwall made me sick

3.) They say the heart of rock and roll is forbidden

I guess I can make another Louie Louie reference today...

I wondered why you didn't hear more about Ian Curtis being gay.

the stones, of course

Poor guy.

As cited in Mojo as one of the best lyrics of all time!

(I hear "I look ill but...")

Misheard Lyrics:
I'm in love with excremental torture.
Original Lyrics:
I'm in love with extreme mental torture.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Steveritt

A rock journalist in the UK went to press with these misheard lyrics.

Not a misheard lyric per se, but for the longest time I refused to believe that Morrissey was actually singing, "No, I'm gonna kill my dog" on "Unhappy Birthday." And for the life of me I still cannot figure out how that has anything to do with the rest of the song.

And there is a line in "Summer's Last Sound" by Disco Inferno that I always hear as "..Which would tell you if you'll spend the next few years/Free from Laffy Taffy petrol bongs."

It's black humor, obviously:

Loved and lost
And some may say
When usually it's Nothing
Surely you're happy
It should be this way ?
I say "No, I'm gonna kill my dog"

Like when you're in a bad mood and someone says, "How many dogs did you kick on your way to school today?"

"Three lions on a shirt, jewels remain still gleaming"

!!!!

What I heard: "I trust the boys in the government".

Real lyrics: "I trust the police and the government".

i like my version much more!
