[Blue Fish 0]

[Farin 2]

I never mentioned you, did I?

[Blue Fish 0]

Your smilie implied me! Blame the smilie!!

In Junior's Farm, my mom thought Paul was singing "You shoulda seen me with the polka band" instead of "You shoulda seen me with the poker man." The second line makes more sense out of it: "I had a hunny* and I bet a grand."

So, David Bowies "Hot Tramp": "HOt Tramp, I love you so" Misheard as, "God damn, I love your 'fro."

I really can't hear "God damn, I love your fro" when I listen to that song!!. I don't understand how anyone could make that mistake.

my friend mistakenly thought the line from everything but the girl's track 'missing' was:

'and i miss you, like the devil's masquerade'

it really is:

'and i miss you like the deserts miss the rain'

My favourite's still Armenia City In the Sky by the Who... people misheard it as "I'm an ear sitting in the sky".

A local radio station near me has a little promo commercial inbetween songs that makes fun of Hotel California; it's a guy singing really loud but instead of "Cool wind in my hair" he is singing "Cool Whip in my hair" Now when I hear the song I hear cool whip in my hair. My best friend misheard the lyrics to Saliva's Click Click Boom, she miss took click click, for something completely wrong and very dirty! I also use to think that it was Dont fear the reefer instead of reaper

So, David Bowies "Hot Tramp": "HOt Tramp, I love you so" Misheard as, "God damn, I love your 'fro."

I think I that better than the original!

The Who - Eminence Front

"It's a pudding" instead of "it's a put on."

Winter WonderLand:

We'll frolick and play the Eskimo way

Walkin' in a winter wonderland

misheard as:

We'll finally get laid the Eskimo way

Walkin' in a winter wonderland

[Farin 2]

so the plan is to stick to two misheard lyrics threads?

[Blue Fish 0]

I dunno, I'm indecisive...Maybe? Possiblely? Yes....no wait...no. Yes. Stop putting pressure on me!!! but, i think so yes...

I was once writing out the lyrics for Cream - Badge. An older guy in the same office used to perform it with his band, so was helping.

Then he said "Did I tell you 'bout our kid, now he's not a tomato". Of course I burst out laughing. He was serious.

The line is: "Did I tell you 'bout our kid, now he's married to Mabel."

He had been doing it live for about 5 years in their set and no-one either noticed or said anything.

That is too funny!!!

King Of Wishful Thinking by Go West (the Pretty Woman soundtrack).

When he sings "I'll get over you,

I know I will.

I'LL PRETEND MY SHIP'S NOT

SINKIN'"

My coworker thought he said

"I'LL PRETEND MY SH*T'S NOT

STINKIN'"

I just heard a line Rufus' Wainwright's California

as "I fell for a straight girl" instead of "I fell for a stranger."

[johnny 1]

Yes, this topic has probably been done before, but I can't remember it....

Are then any songs that you yourself misheard the lyrics or do you know anymore....

One of my favourites....

"Old smoking Walter, the fire engine guy...."

"Smoke on the water, fire it the sky...."

[Super Ry 71 0]

And of course, Jimi's "Purple Rain":

"'Cuse me while I kiss this guy.'"

Really "kiss the sky".

The funniest IMO is "The dogs say goodnight" from Wonderful World

[edna 6]

...and the classic "There´s a bathroom on the right", CCR...

[The Seeker 0]

One of my favourites is Armenia City In The Sky by The Who... misheard by some people as "I'm an ear sitting in the sky"

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

I'm sure there are several for this song.Here is one:

"Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me"

Sometimes misheard as:

"The algebra has a devil for a sidekick eeeee"

[Farin 2]

^ really?

Glorified G ~ Pearl Jam

Glorified version of a pellet gun

misheard as:

Forty-Five versions of a pelican

[blind-fitter 0]

And of course, Jimi's "Purple Rain":

"'Cuse me while I kiss this guy.'"

Really "kiss the sky".

That's "Purple Haze", surely?

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

I'm sure there are several for this song.Here is one:

"Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me"

Sometimes misheard as:

"The algebra has a devil for a sidekick eeeee"

"Spare him his life from these warm sausages!"

[Farin 2]

but Purple Rain all in my brain rhymes so much better

Two from ELO.

"Don't Bring Me Down"

The lyric goes "Don't bring me down,grus".

I'm not sure what "grus" is but I thought they said "wuss"

"Strange Magic"

The lyric goes "Strange magic".

I thought it said,and this is perverted,"Strange my d*#k". (I was afraid to spell it for real for fear of being banned,although some may hope that happens some day.)
