    Misheard Lyrics.

    Have you ever listened to a song and totally misheard the lyrics...if so what were they supposed to be singing (if known) and what do you hear instead.
    here are some of my favs:
    Elvis...Teddy bear...the backing singers sound like they are singing "hot banana" in the background.
    Heaven 17...We Live so Fast.....it sounds like they're singing "Bulls**t" in the background instead of "motion".
    Take That...Back for Good....sounds like "wash your Back" is being sung.
    And my all time favourite....R.E.M. Sidewinder...this was so convincing I used to call it the Dr Who song...in the chorus the words "Calling Tom Baker" are repeated often.....
    have fun ...over to you
    ENGLISH AND DAMN PROUD OF IT British by birth....English by the grace of God. Yes Jamie...it is big isn't it....

      Does "In A Gadda Da Vida" count? As it was originally supposed to be "In the Garden of Eden" but the singer had problems enunciating the words.

        Desmond Dekker And The Aces - "Israelites"

        Lyrics That I heard (also used in an Advert)
        "Get up in the morning, sleeping for bread, sir
        Sold out to every monk and beef-head
        Oh-oh, me ears are alight
        Why find my kids? They buck up and a-leave me
        Darling cheese head, I was yards too greasy
        Oh-oh, Me ears are alight"

        Original Lyrics
        "Gets up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
        So that every mouth can be fed
        Oh-oh, me Israelites
        Wife and my kids, they pack up and a-leave me
        Darling, she said, 'I was yours to receive'
        Oh-oh, me Israelites"
        "I've just bought a house. It's got a Buck Rogers Toilet. One yank, all gone!"

            I hated Madonna's song Erotica.
            So back in 1992 when the Radio kept playing this song in work every 5mins
            I used to sing
            "Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, Put your hands all over my Body..."
            It helped the time go by.
            So I told a few people and they told a few people and years later
            it was voted as the most Misheard Lyric in the Uk anyway.
            It was even mentioned on Top of The Pops 2.

                  Another one that's fun to hear other people sing (if they don't know the actual lyrics as printed on the album) is Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

                  "I shot a moose, shot a moose"

                  instead of the actual "scaramouch, scaramouch"

                  "B -as in Bob" instead of the correct "Beelzebub".

                    I did, I swear. Nobody ever believes me though.
                    But really what other strange mad crazy person would think of
                    anything like that.

                              I think there was some urban legend about Hendrix walking over to some guy in the front row and kissing him on the forehead.

                              How about "Blinded by the Light" - the real lyric is "wrapped up like a deuce" but I've heard many a wrong word on that one.
                              It's all good!
