Looking through lyrics.com today I discovered the first line to Blur's Song 2 is not [b][i]I got my head shaved[/i][/b] but infact is [b][i]I got my head checked[/i][/b].

What lines have you got wrong?

I still think that getting your head shaved by a jumbo jet is waaaaaaay cooler than having it checked.

Oliver's Army (chorus): [i]I was always here to stay....[/i]

Always wondered why it was called Oliver's Army. ๐Ÿ™„

Boys of Summer (chorus): [i]I can see you, your breasts keep shining in the sun[/i]

Kinda still prefer my version and sing it to myself when there's noone else around.

As for the OP, I also thought it was "I got my head shaved" but I thought the next bit was a "Cham-oh-chay" whatever the **** one of those was - was always just afraid to ask.

There's a Shania Twain song that has the line 'I can't believe you kiss your car goodnight'.
And my friend thought it was 'I can't believe you kiss your cock at night'.

quality.

There's a rage against the machine song that I'm sure contains the line " transexual Nazi Eskimos "

At the risk of sounding like an owld git, I remember thinking Real Things single "Can You Feel The Force?" was actually "Can You Feed The Horse?"

And I can't listen to The Killers single, "Are We Human?" without singing "Or are we Hamsters?" as the second line.....

there used to be a website dedicated to misheard lyrics. IIRC it was www.kissthisguy.com, but I doubt if it's still there

I always thought the last line of the Queen song One Vision sounded like Fried chicken & always thought it was just misheard, but in fact he did sing fried chicken.

the last line in the song was "Fried Chicken" although the lyrics say "One Vision" there's no misheard. This was a result of a prank that Freddie Mercury did in the studio, as the band had fried chicken for tea. Jim Hutton, last lover of Freddie Mercury, says in his book that Freddie Mercury wasn't sure he would include it in the final cut. Jim Hutton encouraged him saying "You are big enough" (to get away with it). The video even shows John Deacon on the drums. It isn't known if he actually played some drum parts in the song or if it is just visual effect (or joke?).

WTF? The thing with this one being that I think those are the actual words, but suspect something got lost in translation? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

[i]Last night I dreamt of some dago...young girl with eyes like potatoes[/i]

Yeah, this was my first thought.

[i]I always thought the last line of the Queen song One Vision sounded like Fried chicken & always thought it was just misheard, but in fact he did sing fried chicken.[/i]

Now there's a story... The born again christian movement heard that some rock bands were playing lyrics backwards in songs to enter at a subliminal level. I believe black sabbath (possibly) were playing words encouraging devil worship backwards on one song and one chap killed himself, like teenagers topping themselves is a bands fault.... the link was made by the media and the ****wits in the christian marketing team sent out the word that ALL rock bands were clearly evil. So much for love thy neighbour.

Anyway, the geniuses in christian house found out that queen were playing words backwards in songs and as a result labelled them as the most evil thing on the planet (not to mention, Freddie was transexual - this being 5000 times worse than letting a crowd rape your daughter on the christian wheel of fortune), so Queen were branded satan incarnate.

The words being played backwards? As above, Fried Chicken.

If there was ever a justification for keeping religion away from thick people you hardly have to look further than that.

Maybe so, but I'm positive I saw an interview with the artist back in the day and it was some bizarre reference to the Wicked Witch of the East getting smacked down by Dorothy's house.

LOL, it is!!

A friends mum always thought Queen sang 'the devil has a sidboard for me' instead of 'belzebub has a devil put aside for me' from bohemian rhapsody

An old House tune called Insomniac had "I'm a Swede" instead of "I must sleep", OK so I always happened to be off my tits at the time but thats beside the point!
