Mild Amusements Thread #47: The Misheard Lyrics Thread

[Agathon]

You know you're an idiot when...

..well you knew you were an idiot anyway; but back to the point.

How about all those songs you thought you knew the lyrics to, and then found out you were mistaken.

Like

"Scuse me while I kiss this guy." Jimi Hendrix (I never knew he was gay).

or

"It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll." - AC/DC

or

"No-one heard, not even the chair" - Neil Diamond. No wait, he actually sang that -

Any takers....

[ixnay]

"And it feels like your promises are omelettes"
- Filter, The Only Way (is the Wrong Way)

actual lyrics are "And it feels like your promises are all mine"


Also, what I heard when first listening to Blur - Song 2:

[Ramo]

"Dirty deeds and my thunder cheeks" - AC/DC

[Dinner]

That gay ass song called "tiny dancer" (I don't know who sang it but it was played all the time on the radio two years ago). For the first week I thought he was saying "Tony Danza" instead of "Tiny Dancer"!

You can imagine how funny it was to hear him say "Come to me, Tony Danza. I love you, Tony Danza." over and over again.

Been checking out "Kissthisguy.com" Agathon? I think that was the website devoted to this, anyway.

[Nubclear]

Could you please include the original lyrics for those of us who dont listen to petty American music?!

[The Andy-Man]

i always though he said 'kiss this guy'

I thought it was a reference to some acid trip (the whole song was nayway).

Still, you can imagine my embarresment when i found out, cos once i had sang along with it infront of a mate.....

No.

The Hendrix one everyone knows.

from "Loser" by Beck, I thought for quite some time that what he says isn't "Soy un perdedor", but, "So, open the door".



In the timeless techno classic ( ) Ride on time, I thought she was singing "Right on time" ....

But I guess noone listens to the lyrics anyway, in techno.

It was Elton John, whom I believe actually did have a thing for Tony Danza.

[Dr Strangelove]

I always wondered what and why Sting was singing about "The King of Spain".

[Theben]

The Black Crows "Time says Papa".

Actually is "Twice as Hard". We still don't know how our friend got this.

[Asher]

In Collective Soul's December, I always thought it was "Just took my son to a trip to Maine" when the real lyrics are "Just tilt your sun towards my domain".

And in Why (Pt. 2), I thought it was "Forgive me dear, for my missed erection" when it was "Forgive me dear, for my misdirection"...

Yea, I always heard it this way too. Hold me close now Tony Danza. I've always had trouble understanding Elton John. National Lampoon made fun of this phenomena in the 1970s with a short letter to the editor:

Sirs,

Someone shaved my wife tonight.
