Misheard lyrics

[Rick Courtright]

Hi,

I think everyone here has a couple of favorites. This one comes from a little boy, about six or seven.

Most trap shoots I attend, either club or "registered", begin the event with the playing/singing of the National Anthem. Recently a mother and her son were standing next to me when a young lady sang the anthem. She hung a little long on "Oh, say, can you see..."

The little boy knew better than to say anything until the song was done, but as soon as it was, this is what we heard:

"Mom, what was Jose looking for anyway?"

My little brother was like that.I heard him singing the words to "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise" by Creedence one day and what he was singing was "There's a bathroom on the right"

 

[Mobuck]

"Oh see can you say, my name is Jose'. I come from down Tijuana way. I've come to see the USA."
The "new lyrics" of our national anthem.

Ozzy Ozbourne said that for years he thought Jimi Hendrix was singing Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy! LOL

 

[Achigan]

The nun asked little Johnny who the short fat guy was in his drawing of the Nativity scene. “Round John Virgin” was his answer.

 

[smoke-eater]

The BeeGees' "More Than a Woman" from the Saturday Night Fever album, always sounded to me like "Bald-Headed Woman" when they're singing it.

 

[gunzo]

My mother used to scold me for singing; Bringing in the cheese.

 

[JohnBoy]

Manfred Mann's 'Blinded by the Light' comes to mind.

 

[sfhogman]

It's "I'm Your Venus"
Really.
It is.
At a party back in the early '70s, a friend of mine had an embarrassing moment...singing right along, he was....

A mexican came to the US to visit some relatives. They had to go to work so he went to a ball game. Later that night they asked him how he liked the ball game. He said everybody treated me so goood. Jus before de game started they all stood up and said "Jose, can you see?" I say, si! I see goood!

My friend thought it was “Bingo jet had a light on”. Instead of “Big old jet airliner”

 

[Jeepnik]

Come on, no one said the obvious "In a Gadda Da Vida". Or as it should have been "In The Garden of Eden".

 

[Bob Wright]

For many years I though the hymn was "Bringing in the sheep....."

And, "All our friends and griefs to bear......."

My late pastor's son sang, instead of "Our God is Omnipotent.." as "Our God is a hypocrite...."

And, from Eddy Arnold's great hit, Cattle Call, "He's round as a berry from ridin' the prairie..."

Did anyone ever get this one right?

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Madman drummers bummers
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder
Feelin' kinda older
I tripped the merry-go-round

With this very unpleasin'
Sneezin' and wheezin'
The calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground!

Jimbo, are those the correct lyrics? Or what you think you heard? I thought it said” blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night.”
gramps, who obviously doesn’t know!

 

[Aqualung]

Come on, no one said the obvious "In a Gadda Da Vida". Or as it should have been "In The Garden of Eden".

Unfortunately, that's not mis-heard...those are the real lyrics.

Bee Gees "bald headed woman", i thought the same thing!

 

[WendyZXZ]

Some of the lyrics from Deep Purple Knocking At Your Back Door fits that and most likely on purpose:

"Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pantry
Had to be the aristocracy"

Yep, that is going to sound like get into her pants when sang and all the other sounds going on.

"So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues"

No question what cunning linguist will have most thinking they are hearing!

I saw them in concert in Denver in 1973. They were the opener for Ten Years After. Maybe the best concert I've ever been to.

My personal favorite?
Madonna
Like a virgin touched for the thirty-first time.

Hi,

If it were anyone else but Madonna, that wouldn't be half as funny!

Hi,

A college roommate was rather good at finding something off color in every piece of music he could. I've forgotten all his little "changes" but one, where he "fixed" the Beach Boys' Barbara Ann:

"Went to a dance
Looking for romance
Saw Barbara Ann
Thought I'd get into her pants..."

It's a terrible earwig!

Hi,

Remember when the FBI investigated that song for weeks? And didn't find anything bad in the lyrics...

I never knew the correct lyrics until I saw them written down one day. I always wondered why the guy was singing about a douche. For whatever it's worth that was the first song to pop into my mind when I saw the thread title.
