Misheard song Lyrics

[luvmysuper]

I’ll never leave your pizza burnin’,
Never, never, never, never, never, never,
never me

Rolling Stones
Beast of burden

 

[TexOkie Shaver]

My sister thought the part of Jingle Bells that went:

Making spirits bright.

She heard

Making beer and Sprite.

How a five year old knew about beer is all you need to know about her.

 

[TexOkie Shaver]

The Huey Lewis song went

If my hips could be square.

Or so a friend of mine thought. He was a country Western fan and didn’t know who Huey Lewis was.

 

[SharpieB]

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes saying ay-yo, Gallileo
- Taio Cruz - Dynamite

The Real Lyrics:
I throw my hands up in the air sometimes saying ay-yo, gotta let go

I thought it was “Gallileo” for a decade. My kids still bug me about that one. Not as funny as Tony Danza (my all time favourite) but one of the only songs in recent memory that I misheard.

 

[luvmysuper]

The Huey Lewis song went

If my hips could be square.

Or so a friend of mine thought. He was a country Western fan and didn’t know who Huey Lewis was.

That reminds me of:

I wanna love you but your hips are a little bit pointed

Alice Cooper
Poison

 

[luvmysuper]

The sheep don’t like it,
rockin’ the catbox, rockin’ the catbox

The Clash
Rock the Casbah

 

[luvmysuper]

Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses,
you’ve been outright offensive
for so long now

Eagles
Desperado

 

[MrBeez]

“Excuse me while I kiss this guy.”
Jimi Hendrix-“Purple Haze”

That’s what I always heard!

 

[Rhody]

Someone shaved, someone shaved,
someone shaved my wife tonight

Elton John
Someone saved my life tonight

This is fantastic
I was thinking pretty much most by sung by Elton John I can’t understand the lyrics

 

[Jer78]

Eddie Vedder told a story at a Pearl Jam concert that when he and Mike Mcready first met, Mike swore the lyrics to the Kiss song was., "I wanna rock n roll all night, and part of every day". Haha

 

[luvmysuper]

“Excuse me while I kiss this guy.”
Jimi Hendrix-“Purple Haze”

That’s what I always heard!

I read an article that Hendrix was such a joker that sometimes on stage he would sing exactly that and give a knowing look to let people know he knew what he was doing.

 

[luvmysuper]

In a glob of Velveeta honey,
don’t you know that I love you

Iron Butterfly
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

 

[luvmysuper]

Secret asian man, secret asian man,
they've given you a number, oh,
they've taken 'way your name

Johnny Rivers
Secret agent man

Seriously, listen to the song and the way Johnny Rivers pronounces it.
Tell me honestly, even knowing what the lyrics really are, that it doesn't sound like this.

"Every time I think of you
I have to catch my breasts"
-I Ain't Missing You

 

[Chango]

“Dressed up like a douche
Into the middle of the night…”

Blinded by the Light
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band

 

[MrBeez]

Ok this isn’t about lyrics but a group name instead. Growing up in the 70s Crosby, Stills, and Nash were on the radio a lot. My sister always thought the DJ was saying the group’s name was “Crosby Steals The Nash!” She thought that up until her 40s

 

[MrBeez]

“Dressed up like a douche
Into the middle of the night…”

Blinded by the Light
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band

Oh that’s a classic for sure. I still think that’s what he’s saying

 

[Chango]

When I was a kid and the song “Start Me Up” by The Rolling Stones came on the radio, I always thought Mick Jagger was singing:

“INSOMNIA!!”

 

[Acmemfg]

And just what is “The Pompetus of Love”?
Steve Miller Band-“The Joker”

 

[luvmysuper]

“Dressed up like a douche
Into the middle of the night…”

Blinded by the Light
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band

Oh that’s a classic for sure. I still think that’s what he’s saying

It was only recently that I discovered that song was written by Bruce Springsteen and not Manfred Mann.
Springsteen is on record saying that it took Manfred Mann to cover his song for people to think he wrote a song about feminine hygiene products.
