[Closed] Misheard lyrics

My ears are alight.

Some poppy Bruno Mars song "is it the look in your eyes or is it those dancing Jews"

I found out just a couple of weeks ago that the first (spoken) line in Living on a Prayer is not, if fact, "Chinatown, not so long ago."

Years ago on Capital Radio they had one of those 'sing the missing word' competitions and the song was Mr Loverman by Shabba Ranks.

He sings "Mr Loverman.....Shabba......Mr Loverman......."

A woman phone in and the song played "Mr Loverman....." and she sang out "Trevor" instead of Shabba.

Can't remember who the dj was but he couldn't believe his ears and just laughed hysterically....
I was crying.....

You probably had to be there though...

Steve Winwood...............bring me an iron lung

There is a brilliant Asian Kareoke / KTV mashup of exactly this, time to get searching. Will be back ...

SALAMI SALAMI SALAMI....

Ken Lee, Ken Lee a daba dab ooh

Young girl with eyes like potatoes.

No one done "Scuse me while I kiss this guy?" yet?

That chap rapping about Katy Perry on Dark Horse.

"She's a beast, I call her Karma"

I hear: "She's obese, I call her Cartman"

someone come and wipe the dinner off my screen

For a while, I thought Banarama sang "I'm your Venus "

Ken lee as mentioned above

we are family

Definitely says we make love in a femidom

I got my head shaved by a Jumbo Jet.

There was a better version on the fantastic website rathergood.com where a picture of Alf Garnett's face popped up each time. This seems to be missing from the YouTube version.

Try rathergood.com/Alf and see if you have more luck than me.

Let me hear your bellows like they're ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm

Maybe a little rude...

a mate of mine who plays bass in a function band as well as a band we play in, has a punter come up and ask him 'play Africa'

odd choice but yes they could (Ollie the bassist has played it before so that helps) so they consult the ipad for the changes and lyrics to Africa by Toto and they do it

afterwards the punter comes over and says 'so when you gonna play it??' "er, we just did" 'no I mean "AAAAAaaaafrica! le freak say chic"'

A more recent song here, discovered this one today; song goes

"Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight (Have fun take pills)"

Thought it was interesting that this wasn't censored on the radio.

Turns out it's "(I love cheap thrills)"

Song name?

Cheap Thrills - Sia ft Sean Paul. *facepalm*

Tricky- 'I smell of sheep'

Although if that's not what he sings I don't know what it is

"Sheep shear" instead of "Shape shift" on Metallica's of Wolf and Man.
Fair enough, I wasn't a fan and didn't hear it that much...

I'll never be able to listen to Imperium again, you dick! 😆 EVERY RED TAMBOURINE!

"Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you". Is what a school friend of mine admitted is what he thought the lyrics were, he never quite lived that one down.

I thought it was " take a pizza free with you "

First track on stone roses:

Mate of mine once asked in all seriousness, "what the hell is a 'dored' anyway?"

For a while, I thought Banarama sang "I'm your Venus "

Um, what do you think they sing now?

Again, another mate of mine was convinced the lyric went, "I'm your Venus, I'm your flytrap"...

The girl with colitis goes by.

First line of Summer of 69?
