What songs have you realised that didn't say what you heard?

I've got loads

Big Yellow Taxi
"A Gay pair of guys put up a parking lot"
was what I heard.
real lyric...
"The paved paradise and put up a parking lot"

Also, quite recently.

Tinchy Stryder's - In My Sister.

When I was a nipper I always thought YMCA was 'roll out the ape'

Duran Duran "Is there something I should know?"

"I made a great guy run out yesterday"
actual lyric:
"I made a break I run out yesterday"

Gavin degraw - Realtive

Why don't you just back off a bus
Actual lyric: Why don't you just back off of us

Roisin Murphy - Overpowered

"I can't make a reason" Actual: "A chemical reason"
"I can't make a reading" Actual: "A chemical needing"
"With pre programmed needings" Actual: "With pre programmed feelings"

Probably more I can think of but this one just came to mind.

ACTUAL LOL. Hahaa.
But that song is terrible >.<
Tinchy Stryder is just terrible.

Dido - White Flag

I will go down for this shit, i will put my hands in a blender. There will be no white flag on my floor. I'm in love and always am me.

That's how stupid i was at the age of 10.


And i was one of those nutters that thought Lady Gaga shouted Red Wine.


You are so right.

Leona Lewis - Don't Let Me Down

The very first sentence, she meant to say "fork in the road", but i thought she was saying "f*cking around". I was like whaaaaaaaaaat Leona lol

I'm sure i wasn't the only one lol

I sometimes find it hard to understand what Lady Gaga sings. Bad Romance is a good example of this. Maybe it's me, but I thought she was shouting jibberish "Baju ba roma" when she says "I want your romance."

When I first heard that Train song "Hey Soul Sister". I could have swore that I heard him sing " You gave me my life erection". But turned out that it was " You gave me my life direction".

Bleedin Love

"I keep bleedin, keep keep bleedin love
You come all over me"

D-Train - You're The One For Me

Just enough for the cloud

is actually:

I Stand Up From The Crowd

Temper Trap Sweet Disposition

They sing 'and while our bloods still young, it's so young
'

I hear 'and while our bloods still young, suck on your prawns'

Oasis- fade in out

for years I thought it was.

get on the rollercoster
thirteen times a day

but it's actually

get on the rollercoster
the fair's in town today.

I do too. I actually find myself singing the ****ing around line without thinking. Thankfully not out loud

I thought it was hilarious when the MSN blogger slammed Gaga for her Bad Romance lyrics because he thought:

"Want you in my rear window, baby, you're sick" (real lyrics)

was

"Want you in my bedroom when you're baby is sick." (misunderstoof lyrics)

Think there's quite a long thread for this somewhere

I think NME or Melody maker used to do a regular feature on this.

One of my favs, Green Day - Good Riddance -

"Another turnip boy a ford stuck in the road"

I also work with a lady who's daughter thinks David Guetta has a song called "Sexy fish".

Thats a famous 1 its so obvious just like that bounty advert "One Sheet"

I thought it was Red Wine too!

Oasis

Heard......silicone way

Was...Sally can wait

Guilty too

Oh and the

"i wanna have boobies" by PCD

That one was so talked about that even people on chat shows asked them what the actual lyric was.

the actual lyric is 'I wanna have groupies'

Yeah i do know that
I;m not that thick to not know that two years later

They don't actually say that?! It fits in with their other oh so inspiring lyrics.

In the Family Guy theme tune, many people thought Stewie was singing "effin cry" instead of "laugh and cry." Seth MacFarlane actually re-recorded the line.
