Songs: Trivia and Misheard Lyrics

[Morbid1]

I had a friend of mine convinced that the song "FM" buy Steely Dan
had the lyrics "Give her some fucked up music" lol,he was such a fool.



-Morbid1



Worry the bottle Mamma, it's grapefruit wine
Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time
The girls don't seem to care what's on
As long as it plays till dawn
Nothin' but blues and Elvis
And somebody else's favorite song


Give her some funked up music she treats you nice
Feed her some hungry reggae she'll love you twice
The girls don't seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right


FM - no static at all

[SomeChick]

Oh yeah, you guys just reminded me that I thought the line in "Loser" was 'soooooo, open the door, I'm a loser baby...'

There was an episode of "Friends" where Phoebe thought that the Elton John song "Tiny Dancer" was actually "Tony Danza" HAHAHAHAHA....classic

[Boxofpandoraz]

How about that song "Invisible Touch"...I believe it's by Genesis?

I STILL sing..

"She sees the hat rack...Is she gon' touch it?"

[**Jenna**]

CCR - "There's a bad mood on the rise" is not "There's a bathroom on the right!"

The Beatles - "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes" (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds) is not "the girl with colitis goes by."

Oak Ridge Boys - I always thought "Elvira" was "Elmira" and I thought it was SO NEAT because Elmira was the name of the next town over. lol

You had me straight up laughing my ass of over the Beatles one. Tears are streaming down my face and my son just came downstairs to see what the heck I am laughing so hard at...Thank you so much for that one. I needed a good belly laugh

Rock the Casbah is often mis-sung... this part even more than others...

The shareef dont like it
Rockin the casbah
Rock the casbah
The shareef dont like it
Rockin the casbah
Rock the casbah

and the whole song is....

LOL, some of the misheard versions...LMAO..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NWE3px40_g
Here's a list MSNBC came up with
http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/arc...18/365374.aspx

Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin to the top
The sheik he drove his cadillac
He went a cruisnin down the ville
The muezzin was a standing
On the radiator grille

Chorus
The shareef dont like it
Rockin the casbah
Rock the casbah
The shareef dont like it
Rockin the casbah
Rock the casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy casbah sound
But the bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

Chorus

Now over at the temple
Oh! they really pack em in
The in crowd say its cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy casbah jive

Chorus

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the casbah way

As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

Chorus

He thinks its not kosher
Fundamentally he cant take it.
You know he really hates it.

God I love the Clash

[Cathy J.]

Rock the Casbah is often mis-sung... this part even more than others...
and the whole song is.... God I love the Clash

Then there was Train In Vain....Train Insane.

We were at my sister's once for a party. The kids were all downstairs in the gameroom. I hear them SCREAMING the words to the song "Play that Funky Music", or what I THOUGHT were the right words. Turns out they were yelling "Play that FUCKING music, White Boy!" They got a REAL quick lesson in the correct lyrics, believe me!

Love this place. Keeps me from making a fool of myself.

[Jersey Girl]

My brother always sang "Honest I'll see you," to The Go Go's "Our Lips Are Sealed."

He also always thought the lyrics "The kid is not my son," to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," was "The Chair is not my son."

I always thought the lyrics were "You mold your end," to Night Rangers "Sister Christian." Correct lyircs are: "You're motorin'."

LOL... I am sure I will think of more.

[Xtine]

another friend of mine sings "i was at the party" for NIN's "i was up above it"
hehehe

[itsintheeyes]

Bohemian Rhapsody- Spare him his life from this monstrosity.


My version-Spare him his life from his one saucy deed.

[itsintheeyes]

Britney Spear's Toxic- I'm addicted to you. Don't you know that you're toxic?



My version: I'm addicted to you. Don't you know I like chocolate?

[**Jenna**]

Sorry if this has already been said but on Heart Shaped Box i thought it was "hey wait i gotta lose some weight".

[Dylgem22]

[panda]

Hubby's business partner swears that the lyrics to The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again is won't be fooled by games. It does not matter that he's read the name in black & white & that everyone tells him he's wrong.....he still sings it wrong & looks like a fool

[Deathgoddess]

I can understand that one, it kinda does sound like "we won't be fooled by games", sometimes you get so use to singing something wrong you just can't go back and fix it. LOL

[Chevyheaven]

England dan and John Ford Coley's I'd really love to see you tonight.

I'm not talking 'bout moving in,
And I don't want to change your life.

I always thought they said. "Im not talking about the linen..."
Oh I sang that line for years when I listened to it.

[Boxofpandoraz]

He also always thought the lyrics "The kid is not my son," to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," was "The Chair is not my son."

"The chair is not my son" is the version of the song made popular by the guy from the picnic table thread...*Nods*

When my son was young, I'll never forget his singing along to the Stones' Satisfaction. Instead of I CAN'T GET NO, he'd sing, I SAID HECK NO! I still sing it like that.

My 5 y/o nephew sings along with Live and Let Die, but sings LEMONADE DYEEEEEE.

[**Jenna**]

That Eddie Murphy song My girl want to party all the time, I used to think it was my girl wants to potty all the time.

[royorbisonisdead]

The Stones:

Hey, you, get offa my cow!

(barnyard shades of Ken Pinyan?)

[sheeb720]

I highly suggest you watch this one:

It's the one that inspired me...LOL!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=nfXke_z6t3I

ANGOLA!!!!!!

That is one of my favorite youtube videos ever! Every time I see it I crack up. I also like the "Numa Numa" one and "Toxic" by Britney Spears.

[ozzysmom]

When my son was about 6, we were riding in the car and the song, "I'm shameless" by Garth Brooks was on the radio. My son suddenly asked me..."Mommy, why is this man singing a song about shaving"? I was laughing so hard that I had to pull the car over. LOL

[ozzysmom]

Needless to say everytime I hear that song, I sing, I'M SHAVIN!!! LOL

[GrinReaper]

Go-Go's "Our Lips are Sealed"
I heard it as "So nice to see you."

[Bayou Voodoo]

Must be a kid thing, because my older daughter did the exact same thing. My ex husband and I were taking her to visit family, and when we got there we were still crying from all the laughter. Needless to say, we tease her about it to this day. lol

[Bayou Voodoo]

Same daughter would say "Prop me up beside the juicebox when I die" instead of "jukebox" like it really was. She got a lot of songs wrong. lol

[geekygirl]

I know of a good handful, but the only ones I can remember are these:

One time Barry Manilow was interviewed and he said that a little old lady came up to him to tell him how much she loved his music. She said that she especially liked the one about gardening. Gardening? What song of his has anything to do with Gardening? Looks like tomatoes... (Looks like we made it...)

A little boy I used to baby sit was convinced that "The Wizard of Oz" was "The Lizard of Watts."

When I was a little girl, I somehow thought that "The Sound of Music" was "The Sound of Mucus."

[**Jenna**]

The Stones:

Hey, you, get offa my cow!

(barnyard shades of Ken Pinyan?)

LOL

[Spencemom]

When I was a kid around 5, the song "Whenever I Call You Friend" by Kenny Loggins was always on the radio. One of the lyrics in the chorus I thought was, "Bees don't burn on a Saturday Night" when it was actually, "Sweet love flowin' almost every night". Anyway, I can't stand that song to this day!

[Xtine]

another friend of mine sings "i was at the party" for NIN's "i was up above it"
hehehe

UPDATE: same friend also said for NIN's "Terrible Lie" he thought it was "toe in a line"

[Deathgoddess]

My best friend thought that the Eagles "There's gonna be a heartache tonight" was "there's gonna be a party tonight". That makes me giggle

[ichabodius]

The Pretenders - Middle of the Road. I thought Chriisy sang "I'm standin in the middle of life with my pants behind me."
