Misheard Lyrics.

[monkey tennis]

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.

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"

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.

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
