I wanted to start this thread to find out what other mis-heard lyrics people have had in the past. This is prompted after I today heard a song on the radio for the first time. I recognized Axl from Guns 'n' Roses singing. I just couldnt figure out why he'd be singing about the ninth grade.

The song was called "Nightrain".

Anyone else got any more good ones?

[mr_wizzard2004]

Hmmm...."There's a bathroom on the right" for "Bad Moon Rising"....one of my wife's favorites

[sensei_kyle]

There are tons of misheard lyrics. One of my favorites:
Jimmy Hendrix, Purple Haze: Excuse me while I kiss this guy. Ummm... that's kiss the sky dude.

[JimmyH-AD]

IF you're old enough to remember "Louie, Louie" by the Kingsman circa '64 there was a nation ..... perhaps worldwide controversy over the lyrics. You can read about it here. Good song BTW.

How about the Beatles....."The girl with colitis goes by" <g>

The Beatles "I Am the Walrus" with "everybody smoke pot" was another one .

My ex-step daughters used to sing along with the radio but they memorized sounds as opposed to the actual lyrics. My favorite was the ACDC Dirty Deeds. The girls used to sing, "Dirty jeans dunder jeans" instead of Dirty deeds done dirt cheap.

Not to spoil people's fun, but... The Archive of Misheard Lyrics - KissThisGuy.com

Maybe that's the reason I remembered that particular Hendrix lyric

[sidneykidney]

I didnt ask for an archive of everybodys misheard lyrics. I asked for YOUr guys' misheard lyrics.

Here's another of mine from when I was younger. The song is Paul Simon's 'Call me Al'

Correct version:

A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man....

My version:

A man walks down the street
The street is a strange world
Maybe it's a Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no current single
He is a foreign man...

My wife used to think that Juice Newton's Angel of the Morning had the line:

"Just brush my teeth before you leave me, baby..."

[gssixgun]

My best ones, sung wrong for ages:

Mr Mister

Kyrie Eleison
Down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison
Through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison
Where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie Eleison
On a highway in the light

I for the longest time sang it as "Carry a Laser"


Dirty Deeds was sung "Dirty Knees and the Jungle Chief"

the Bee Gees "More than a Woman" sung "Bald Headed Woman"

Manfred Mann Blinded by the light um yeah that was a great one!!!!!
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
sung as " wrapped up like a douche"
I don't know it made sense at that time duhhhhhh.....

And of course one of my favorites Nirvana "Smells like Teen Spirit"
which I still don't know the words to, but I sing as...

I don't know what all the words are.... I don't know what I am singing... I am singing really loudly.... I am singing so off key now ....I feel stupid Ohhhhhh so stupid....
And I know you won't believe it, but I was singing this before Weird Al did his almost the same way....


So there are some of my songs of shame !!!

[The Dude]

Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter

Real - Make me cry

Mine - Make me fries

and it was apparently what this guy heard as well: Misheard Lyrics Yellow Ledbetter - Video

it's probably in the other link above (Sensei Kyle), but its still a very funny video

[Quick Orange]

Any Pearl Jam song really.

Bruce Springsteen- Blinded by the Light (wrapped up like a douche, rather than revved up like a deuce)

[onimaru55]

Some serious word substitution here:

YouTube - Ken Lee - Bulgarian Idol (WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATION)

[Quick Orange]

Ken lee!!!!!

[sidneykidney]

As the mastercard advert goes.....

..... priceless.

[bbshriver]

What, she didn't say "brush my teeth before you leave"? I've always thought that was a strange line.

My recent good one (that I still claim is correct whether or not it's the way it was written)
Gary P Nunn "Austin Pickers"
real: all you other pickers don't you be inflamed
mine: all you others pickers don't pee in flames.

[stot]

I always thought that The Jam did a song called "Eating Trifles" - actually Eton Rifles and that the Stiff Little Fingers sang "Italian Monster" rather than Alternative Ulster.

[David P]

the ants are my friends, they're blowing in the wind

[Nord Jim]

My all-time favorite is that famous old Christian hymn, "Gladly, the Cross-eyed Bear."
