Misheard Lyrics

[Nicom]

When I was younger I'd always sing "What's love Dr Who, Dr Who with it?" instead of "What's love gotta do, gotta do with it." I was adamant that I was right whenever my sister started to make fun... now I look back - how did my version make any sense?

I also called "Time Warp", "Time Walk" for a while.

I thought 'Livin' La Vida Loca' was 'Livin' the three five loca!' What ever a three five loca is.

I'm embarrassed!!

In Mika - Love today, where he says "Wait till your mother and your papa's gone,

Papa's gone" I thought he was saying "Wait till your mother and your papa' skunk,

Papa skunk" haha no idea how i got that:P

Gosh, there are loads of song lyrics I used to get wrong, but I can't actually think of any right now (apart from the ones I deliberately change because it make the song more interesting!)

A famous misheard lyric is from Jimi Hendrix's song 'Puple Haze' - 'Excuse me while I kiss the sky' was believed by many to be 'Excuse me while I kiss this guy'! I never knew Jimi had those tendancies!

I'll have a think and post some of my own soon!

There's a song, I think it's called "If you tolerate this"...

Anyway! I have it on my iPod... but saved as "Track 9" for some reason. And no artist. So... it came up on shuffle, and it being quite a good song, I liked it and kept listening to it. But I was horrified by what I thought the words were...

Instead of "if you tolerate this, then your children will be next"

I thought it was "if you turn a rapist, then your children will be next"

I looked so stupid when I was corrected...

It's not a misheard lyric, as such, but I've recently got back into the Spice Girls (yep, I'm just that cool!) and the lyrics of 'Wannabe' puzzle me.

If you wannabe my lover,

You gotta get with my friends

Am I the only one who thinks that's a little weird, or am I missing something blindingly obvious here?

[Cerise]

No those are definitely the lyrics... Yeah they do sound odd

In "Summer Loving" from Grease they sound like they're singing about Demi Moore.

didn't happen to me but I've heard of U2's Mysterious ways lyrics being misheard as "Shamu, the mysterious whale" instead of "she moves in mysterious ways"

makes me laugh every time

You could argue that The Police were singing 'I feel Sue Lawley' instead of 'I feel so lonely'!

Or that Madonna was singing about Anna Friel in her song Ray of Light:

'Anna Fr-i-el, Anna Fr-i-el'.. it is of course 'an' I fe-e-el'!
