Finally Admitting: Misinterpreted Words & Lyrics

Thought it may be fun (and enlightening for some) to post some real life admissions of words or lyrics that were misinterpreted...

Misinterpreted Lyrics Admission (MLA):
Today I was driving to work and heard a song that took me back to a "certain place and time"...Junior High when my boyfriend wanted me to buy him an AC/DC album (yes, album) for his birthday and I looked and looked for the one he wanted without success. Not knowing much about the album, I just wanted to find the song that went something like this:
Dirty Jeans and Dungarees!

It made me smile today when I remembered my lyric misinterpretation from so long ago and I turned it up on the chorus and real lyrics:
Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap!

What word or lyric misinterpretations will you admit??? (Even if you don't admit any, I bet you have thought of a least one and smiled!!!)

 

I remember being shocked that the radio station would play the song Flashdance (What a feeling). Especially when she sang "take your pants down and make it happen!"

Correct lyrics: take your passion, and make it happen.

 

... and my brother :shock: was shocked to hear his kid sister (me... 9 years younger than him) singing to the top of my lungs...

Doctor Doctor, Give me the news
I've got a back ache from lovin' you!!!

Correct = Bad case of lovin' you

 

Oh my gosh I could write a book on this, there are so many I mumble through. It's sad to say that just last week my sister informed me I was singing the wrong lyrics to the Beach Boys Kokomo, the part that says "to Martinique that monserrat mystique".. or whatever it says. In that part of the song I have always sang, "That bunch of rotten stink". :lol: If you listen to it, you might can hear what I've been hearing all these years.

 

Thank ya'll for the laughs before I turn out the lights...
Here's one more:

Chester Drawers
= Chest of Drawers

Keep em' coming and here's something to ponder... Do you recognize this wording from one of the first songs I learned as a child?
..."This Sigh No".

 

There are some great videos on youtube people have made for misheard lyrics:

Nightwish - Wishmaster
Sean Paul - Temperature
Fall Out boy - This ain't a scene, it's an arms race (This one sucks, except for the chorus.)


No list of misheard lyrics could be complete without:
Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter

 

Wait!!! It's not "Dirty deeds done with sheep"? I know it is not, but it does make the chorus more fun to throw that in every now and then.

All I can say is thank goodness Rock Band and Guitar Hero have the correct lyrics on the screen! At least I didn't continue to embarrass myself in front of my teenage boys when singing Tom Sawyer...just one example...apparently I invented lyrics quite often in the 80's!:mrgreen:

Before the age of the internet, my sister and I had the longest stupid disagreement ever regarding England Dan & John Ford Coley's " I'd Really Love To See You Tonight" She insisted the words were "I'm not talkin' bout the linen. . ." when the actual lyrics were "I'm not talkin' bout movin' in...and I don't wanna change your life...but there's a warm wind blowin and the stars are out...and I'd really love to see you tonight."

When hubby and I were planning our wedding, and I asked if he had any opinions of the songs we would use during the ceremony or the reception, he said he didn't care what I chose as long as that awful "Going to the Chapel Antry" song wasn't played, cause it reminded him of a time when he had a bad stomach flu and his sister kept playing the 45 record of it all night long. . .the song reminded him of throwing up." Even when I showed him on the computer screen that the lyrics were "Going to the chapel and we're gonna to get married." He insisted they were incorrect

 

..Jimi Hendrix singing "'scuse me while I kiss this guy"

 

how about: "Gimme the Beach boys to free my soul I wanna get bossed to rock and roll"....yeah, thats uncle kracker for the remake and fixed my lyrics issue....

I'm going to cry!
