    Default Favorite Mis-Interpreted Lyrics

    Remembering that I once thought the chorus to Iio's Rapture went "Babe, I'm horny don't you know, my love I want you so" (as opposed to the real lyric, "Mi amore don't you know, my love I want you so")...I was curious what other songs y'all thought went differently than they actually do.

    One I just realized the other day:

    In Prince's Gett Off, I always thought the line in the bridge went "Tonight, you're a star...and I'm a big tipper" (on the strip-club vibe). The actual line is "Tonight, you're a star...and I'm the Big Dipper".
    "Women, not girls, rule my world" - Prince

    "No parking on the dance floor" - Midnight Star

    ha ha! when i clicked on this i was planning on replying about the rapture thing-- i'm the one that pointed it out to you. but i still think you're version rocks!

    i've always thought that the lyrics to "pour some sugar on me" were "i'm hot, sticky, sweet" instead of "slick," and i think my version's better, too.

    WHAT?? OMG, I never knew that it was "slick", and I've played this song a zillion times...

    I always thought that song by Bobby Brown sounded like "do the circle jerk" over and over again, even though I knew he wouldn't sing that.

    this could be a great thread...

    I have always loved purple haze by jimi hendrix, but at some point a friend of mine was clowning around and sang "kiss this guy" in place of "kiss the sky" and now everytime I hear the song, I hear the other line. so like I can't even sing along, no matter how hard I try to get back, it's not happening.

    In Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall," I used to think that they said "Hey Caesar! Lean against the wall" instead of "Hey teacher! Leave those kids alone" LOL I sang the wrong words and my friend laughed like crazy and then corrected me.

    "Hail Ceaser, leave those kids alone..."

    so, remember that song "Jenny" or 867-5309? If you do, try calling this number

    At least when Manfred Mann did that song it was:

    revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
    (it's a car-thing, refers to the body style like - my little deuce coupe)

    When I first started hearing that song...
    "erbody inde club gittin tipse"

    For weeks I thought they said
    "erbody inde club gittin tits"

    LOL I thought it was mighty appropriate considering every time they played it, several girls could be seen dancing topless all around the room

    OK. I don't think this is a misheard lyric, but WHAT THE HELL DOES IT MEAN?!?!:

    The Verve Pipe--"The Freshmen"

    "a shoot full of rice"

    WHAT?!?!

    And if I am hearing it wrong, well, then it's great that I posted it on here!

    seems like he is talking about a girl and feeling guilty, perhaps he didn't marry her, thus the reference to baby's breath and rice

    Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice

    that's what i get out of it anyway...

    i will always remeber this!!
    when i was in about 3rd grade, i rode home from school with some neighbor boys- one was about 5th grade or so, the other in high school (he drove us). we were listening to that song "here i go again" by whitesnake. i was singing-
    like a twister i was born to walk alone...
    and they start laughing hysterically. i'm like, what? and they told me it was "drifter" not "twister" and i'm all, "yeah right stupid. what the heck is a drifter??"
    lmao! what can i say i was in third grade...

    creedence clearwater revival - "bad moon rising"

    during the chorus he says "there's a bad moon on the rise"

    sounds like a drunken backwoods dude saying: "theres a bathroom on the right"

    I think Hendrix was fully aware of how that line can get mixed up (I personally never mixed the line up til someone pointed out that it sounds like he sings "scuse me while I kiss this guy"). Anyhow, on Voodoo Child - The Jimi Hendrix Collection, there is a live version of "Purple Haze" where he purposely sings the line wrong (he says "scuse me while I kiss that guy").

    Old one:

    Beatles' (McCartney) Michelle: "Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble."

    If you sing, "Sunday monkey don't play piano song, play piano song," it sounds right.

    Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven:

    "And as we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls."

    Sounds like, "And there's a wino down the road. I should've stolen your Oreos."
