More classic misheard song lyrics

[Mikey]

We talked about this a few years ago .....

Thought we might have some updates of classic songs you always thought they say something different in.

What inspired this thread was I was just listening to Zepplin's Whole Lotta Love and remembered I used to think he said --- "You need Kool-Aid"

any more ?

How many Zep songs should I list Mike?


Living Loving Maid was always a tough one. I never understood the entire first verse.



With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat,
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
Missus cool rides out in her aged Cadillac.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

CCR- "There's a bathroom on the right"
""Have you ever seen Lorraine?"

Jimi Hendrix- "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy".

And this is the ultimate misheard lyric video: Joe Cocker at Woodstock-

How about Steve Winwood:
"Bring Me a Hired Love"

my son has been hopping around singing 'dirty deeds and the dunder sheets' for about a month now.

Uh - not quite the same thing, but sort of related.

"The Girl Is Mine" was the first single off Michael Jackson's Thriller - and I didn't really know who M.J. was yet, so the first couple of times I heard the song on the radio I thought it sounded like it was being sung by a man and a woman. In my head I constructed a plot about a married couple fighting for custody of their little girl. I guess I'd seen "Kramer Vs. Kramer" or something.

Anyway - imagine my surprise when I finally saw the video.

I could never figure out the lyrics to Van Halen "Little Guitars. " it always sounded like the chorus was "Etch-a-sketch, Etch-a-sketch"

[Earth 2 Chris]

my son has been hopping around singing 'dirty deeds and the dunder sheets' for about a month now.

My friends and I used to jokingly sing "Dirty deeds, done to sheep". We are from Kentucky after all.

We also jokingly sang "Padded Bra" to Van Halen's "Panama".

I'm a huge CCR fan, but I have absolutely no idea what the lyrics are to Green River. It's almost incomprehensible. And people thought Kurt Cobain thought that up.

I used to think Lynrd Skynrd's "Tuesday's Gone" went "Tuesday's gone, look away". It's "Tuesday's gone, with the wind". Makes more sense, especially for a southern rock band.

A good friend of mine use to misunderstand a verse in the 10CC song "I'm not in love". To this day, I don't see it. But for some reason it's clear to him. In the middle where the girl whispers, "Be quiet. Big boys don't cry." HE thinks she's saying "Be quiet. Be questing quiet." What the h*ll does that mean? He doesn't know either. I try to listen for that and I still don't hear it. He calls it the 'Questing quiet' song. My son always had a funny one. When he would hear Queen's hit song, "Killer Queen" he would confuse the lyrics "Gunpowder, Gelatine, Dynamite with a laser beam" and sing "Gun power, Gelatin (like Jello), Dynamite with some cheeder cheese." WTH? I don't even try to examine that one.

In the Jethro Tull song Locomotive Breath, the line goes "No way to slow down"

To this day I still hear -You know he could slow down

When I was a youngun I thought Oliva NJ and Travolta singing "You're The One That I want" was "You're The Wizard of O's", which I thought I was mis-hearing The Wizard of Oz. It was YEARS before I knew what the actual lyrics were.

In The Beatles song "And Your Bird Can Sing" I misheard the line "You may be awoken" as
You may be a Vulcan.

My younger brother would sing the line "I'm gonna drink till I get my bill" in Bruce Springsteen's Glory Days.

Springsteen forget it, I mishear almost every word he says
