- We’ve all been there. Happily singing along to a song with our friends, until you notice that they’re all staring at you in disbelief. “Nick,” they say, “Do you really think this city was built on Sausage Rolls? Because it’s actually “We built this city on Rock n’ Roll.”” Oh the shame. The embarrassment! But I’m here to say, Everyone mishears lyrics from time to time. So much so that there’s even a term for it. A Mondegreen. Writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in 1954 after hearing the line “layd him on the green” in a Scottish ballad as “Lady Mondegreen.” And Mondegreens have been ever present in pop music since. I’m nostalgic Nick for Doyouremember and today we’re going to be taking a look at some of the most ridiculously misheard lyrics in music history. I’ll say this slowly as to avoid A Mondegreen. Be sure to hit the thumbs up and subscribe to our channel, but now let’s mishear together!

NAME A SONG YOU'VE BEEN SINGING WRONG? 🤔
I thought it was "excuse me, while I kiss the sky?"
You're right,its "Scuse me while I kiss the sky!"
When I was a little kid I didn’t know the Star-Spangled Banner was the national anthem I thought it was just to start baseball games. so to me the line gave proof through the night I thought it was Babe Ruth through the night. Imagine my embarrassment when I got all the way to the six grade had to sing it by myself and got it wrong!
Steve Miller's Fly Like an Eagle - Shoe the Children With No Shoes On Their Feet sounds like Shoot the Children.
Genesis' "Invisible Touch", the main chorus is:
"She sees the hand, an invisible touch, yeah"
I always thought it said:
"She sees the hand, and Dizzy don't touch it"
thinking Dizzy was the name of the girl they were singing about!
When I first heard "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers when I was a kid, I mistook the line "four hungry children" for "four hundred children" and then thought, well no wonder Lucille left! LOL
I only learned that just now.
As A kid I thought it was 400 children and a CRAP in the field
@@michaelscholz734 You have to crap in the field because the outhouse is always occupied. It makes perfect sense!
Me too
Dude, I did too. I was in middle school & though that's what it was for that whole school year. 🤣
When my son was a toddler he sang Whitney Houstons"I will always love you"...."And eyeyeeeeye will always have shoes.. Hysterical.
Thats cute!
That was so cute
My nephew said I can only love Hugh!
At least he wasn't singing Whitney's classic "Shaving Off My Muff For You".
Hey it's good to always have shoes, unless you live in a tropical paradise where nobody ever shatters a beer bottle on the pavement.
After listening to Elton John, my son asked me, "Dad, what's a legendary pig?" "huh?" "You know - 'her candle burned out long before her legendary pig!' "
To funny
I love your son!
There is actually a spoof version where they sing that.
😂😂Hillarious!!
OMG, hilarious!😂
When my daughter was like 5 she was playing in her room and singing. I was in the kitchen listening. She was singing the theme to the golden girls and when she got to the the line that says, "and the card attached would say thank you for being a friend" she sang, "and the heart attacks would say thank you for being a friend". When i finally stopped laughing I asked her, Why do you think the lyrics go like that? her response, "because they're old and about to have heart attacks" Even today all I have to do is Hum the golden girls and we cant stop laughing.
That is awesome!
Yeah that’s funny lol
You have a very bright, intelligent 5 year old!
😜🤣😂😅
🤣
"Touched for the 31st Time" being more accurate for Madonna in 1984 had me laughing!
😂
Well, it was Madonna.
Yes, I literally laughed out loud. I had never heard that one.
More like 333 333 333 333 333 333 331st time!!!!!!!
Thirty-seven???
I saw Fogerty in concert a few years ago in L.A. He intentionally sang, "There's a bathroom on the right," while pointing to the right.
That's awesome
I believe the "bathroom on the right" was an intentional lyric change by bar bands covering Bad Moon Rising. It'd be interesting to find out who originally performed it that way since it became a firmly entrenched tradition.
..............What a fucking waste of time...What a joke!!
Embrace the facilities, John.
I thought it said “There’s a baboon on your right”.
My oldest grand daughter was always singing along with songs . One day my daughter in law and I heard her singing "Dirty deeds done with sheep" Instead of "Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap ." We both laughed so hard .
Omg...best one yet...got tears streaming right now...😆
So THAT'S the correct line! finally
There's probably a Weird Al style song parody with that title right now...and if there isn't, there should be.
So, it’s NOT “Dirty Dee, the Thunder Chief”?
I thought it was dirty deeds dunder cheap to begin with 🤣
After hearing Simon & Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" my five-year old turned to me and said, "They never say if Parsley saved Rosemary in time" 30 years ago and we still laugh about this ... Oh yeah ... when she moved out and bought her first home she adopted a cat and named him Parsley ....
Did they also buy a puppy and name her Rosemary?
That's cute! 😊
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thymeeeee
(Okay, I'm gonna be honest, the first time I heard the song, I did think, "Parsley saved Rosemary in time" before remembering, "Wait- Parsley, Rosemary, Thyme like the herb... ohhh"
Tom Pettys “I was born a rebel “ into “ I was Barney Rubble” by my friend. Never laughed so hard🤣
You could stand me up at the gates of hell but I'd *Walk Back Down*
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwilma beeeeeeeeeetty
@@1ndomitus I always thought that's what it was. I was a kid and it was on the radio all the time. It made sense he would walk. Most people say down when talking about hell.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The second line in Tiny Dancer got me. Count the head lice on the highway
😂😂😂😂
Thanks... now that is what I am going hear! 🤣🤣
Hold me closer Tony Danza!
Let me get this right............ you hold Tony Danza closer and then you count the head lice on the highway? Does that mean Tony Danza is the producer of head lice? LMAO!!
Hold me closer Tony Danza.
Sometimes, it's not just lyrics that are mis-heard, but band names. An old client of mine, for years, thought the band "Hall and Oates" was "Haulin' Oats".
They should have gone with that.
What an idiot! It's obviously "Holland Oats".
🤣 These comments.
Hahahaha!😃😃😃😃
😂😂😂 I literally used to refer to them like that!!!
I had two friends watching a band live who disagreed on if it was a 'bad moon on the rise' or 'a bathroom on the right'. So they decided to have the band to settle it for them. The 'bad moon on the rise' guy asked the band to play it but to distinctly sing 'theres a bathroom in the right'. Friend II was so excited at having her belief validated that she was all up in his grill about it the rest of the night. It took her years to discover she had been trolled.
That's CUTE. I love it!
John actually has really picked up on it himself. I have heard him use the “bathroom” line at several of his concerts that I’ve been to. Also, he uses the “bathroom” line on a live concert CD and on DVD of a concert. In most cases, he’ll only use it once, and it’s usually the last time that line is in the recording (or concert). But he gives that little smile and gets a twinkle in his eyes, just to see if the crowd is really listening.
Back in the seventies my friend told me she had heard a new Lionel Ritchie song and that she couldn't believe he was singing about being in love with his cousin. We are from Alabama as is Mr. Ritchie and hear the "you date your cousin" thing too much so she was really ticked off at him about this song. I asked her what it said and she said "We're once, twice, three times related, but I love you". I almost rolled in the floor laughing. The song is Three Times a Lady. I still sing it her way when I hear it.
What a great comment and story. 😊😊😊
Bwahahaaaa 😆
@@renneedwards9826 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is she married?
@@peopleskarmasquad1042 Bwahaaaaaa!! 🤣🤣🤣
"The girl with colitis goes by" Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes", one of my favorites.
I thought it was "a girl with girl-itis goes by"
😂
😆😆🤣🤣
😆😆😆😆 that s lol
Lucy - Sky - Diamonds = LSD So go figure. 🤷🏼♂️😅
My favorite was Neil Diamond’s hit, “Reverend Blue Jeans”. Then again I grew up with Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans, so it made more sense than “forever in blue jeans”.
I use to sing a rhythm in blue jeans 🤣
As a 67 year old, I thought thats what he said "Reverend in blue jeans"for years.
Omg I still thought it was Reverend Blue Jean's til just now.😂
The worst mis-heard lyrics sung by someone that I witnessed singing was my Irish aunt ruining was Free Falling by Tom Petty. (Imagine it with a Dublin accent) She was singing "Tree Falling".
She genuinely thought it was a song about lumberjacks
I loved tue song, but I did that one deliberately.
That's what I thought it was , tree falling,,
I thought "running down a dream" was "running down a drain". I imagined a old-school detective in a Sherlock Holmes jacket holding a magnifying glass and looking for clues in a sewer drain. Haha
ROFL!!
that's pretty good,though........
A friend of mine loved to sing along with the radio in our cars. Both of us would be singing at the top of our lungs having a ball and Aerosmith comes on "Dude looks like a lady" and I heard him sing "Do me like a lady". I never laughed so hard in my life.
DAMN ! Of course , the correct lyrics to "Mickey" by Toni Basil were "I'll Take it Like a Man".
I thought it was "Do the Lucky Lady". I imagined there was a dance called the Lucky Lady. 🤣🤣🤣
Until adulthood I always thought the line in Winter Wonderland that goes "Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire" was "Later on we'll PERSPIRE..." Seemed right to me, fire is pretty hot.
It *is* perspire in the parody "Walkin' in My Winter Underwear".
i used to say welcome spider instead of we'll conspire
@@dadoctah Me, too! "Later on, we'll _perspire,_ as we _steam_ by the fire, walking in our winter _underwear."_ The guys on my racing team came up with an automotive themed version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas"---over eggnog, of course.
As a child (when America was mainly Christian) at elementary school we sang Christmas carols. We'd been studying dinosaurs before the song fest. First time I heard the lyrics, "... all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant." I heard, "joyful and tri-elephant." Sang it that way until 7th grade.
@@LesterMoore When I was a tadpole, I asked my mom what a "worlso" was--as in "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star": "--up above the worlso high." Also, a little kid we knew made a drawing of the Nativity for Sunday School class, but the teacher didn't know who the figure in the corner was. Bobby said, "That's Pontius, the pilot!"
My daughter asked me why a song would be made about "You're so lame"... it had us in tears, laughing, since it was actually "You're So Vain".
"you probably think this song is about you"
*Isn't it?*
Hahaha! That's cute! Wasn't she singing about Warren Beatty? You're so lame Warren, hahaha!😃🎵
I grew up listening to The Beatles and I honestly thought they meant "I get high" as meaning they feel like they are on cloud 9. I didn't realize it was "I can't hide"
I still think it’s high 😂
I'm thankful I skipped the beatles
Didn't know what an alias was as a kid so Laura Branigans song was"Gloria.I think they got your number,I think they got the ALIENS,that you've been living under" lol
Makes sense to a kids ears. "Alien" was the big movie at the time "Gloria" was rockin the Billboard Charts in the early 80's.
LOL!
@@jameswood231 But.............Alien came out in '79, Gloria came out in '82. You may be thinking of E.T.
Back to "Tiny Dancer," it sounds, at one point, like he's saying "Count the headlice on the highway."
You gotta have real good eyes to count head lice on the highway. They're pretty damn small to start with.
Tiny dancer = Hold me closer TONY DANZA
Lolol!
🤣🤣🤣
@@lindalaffredi7244 wonder if they ever wondered why it was called Tiny Dancer lol
My grandson sang: “We are family, even though your fatter than me.”Now we all sing it that way.
Wait for next bit. Just let me staple the vicar, making love in a femidom? lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
you’re*
Your is belonging to you and you’re is a contraction of you are
But nice 😂
Hell, I can go back to Elvis's Hound Dog when I thought he said "You ain't nothin' but a hot dog, fryin' all the time."
I once heard a child in a store singing a Barry Manilow song....”looks like tomatoes”. I still think of it and laugh.
So funny!
I used to sing that as a kid! As my brother was a big Barry Manilow fan.
guys your comments are killing me...🤣 I'm laughing myself sick🤣
What song was that?
@@lilyroza …..Looks Like We Made It.
Johnny Rivers: Secret Asian Man. CCR: There's a baboon on the right.
I also sang secret Asian man.
@@DonnaTriska The Spinners-"One Of A Kind. Love a Ferris Wheel!(Love Affair It Is)" As a kindergartener age 6,when that song was originally out (1973), the Ferris Wheel was my favorire ride, maybe that's why I thought it was that. But by age 9 or 10 I knew what the real words were and are.
)
Omg I loved that Johnny rivers song. Heck I loved anything Johnny rivers sang.
No,no,it's there's a BATHROOM on the right! lol I also heard "Party Tonight" instead of "Heartache Tonight" by the Eagles.
I've recently heard that too as "Secret Asian Man." Seemed apt with the attacks on Asians.
I got one for you. I was listening to the radio some twenty years ago in San Diego and a girl called in requesting the song, "I like it kinky". The DJ couldn't figure out what she was looking for so he asked her to sing a verse and after she did, he realized she wanted to hear the song Alive and Kicking by Simple Minds.
Did she leave her number?😂
My son loved this line, everytime you go away you take a piece of me with you...he told his dad he always thinks of him when he hears that song because his dad worked rotating shifts and our son would miss him, one day we were driving home from his little league game and the song came on, he started singing it really loud and here's what he thought the line was, everytime you go away you take a piece of meat with you 🤣🤣 we started laughing and our son said, that's what the song says and mom packs you a lunch so I think of you!! We still tease him about that!!☺️☺️
We had the same with my oldest son. My wife and I were checking with each other as we drove off on a family camping trip, to be sure we had packed all the food we needed. My son piped up”This is just like the song” and when we asked which song, he replied, “ Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you”. - which is still the way I will always remember this lyric!
Yes, the high-hat gives a kind of "T" sound, which really makes it sound like "meat"!
Awww, that's so cute
Part of "Angel of the Morning" was misheard as "just brush your teeth before you leave me".
LOL!
Sweet!
Yes! I always heard that too! Glad I'm not alone!
I like the Haunted Garage version. It's somewhat x-rated, and goes by " The Haunted Garage theme song."
They're a supergroup, of sorts.
That's what I always heard!
I used to think when Pat Benatar sang "Hit me with your best shot", she was singing "Hit me with a wet sock". Also Depeche Modes "I just can't get enough", I thought they were saying "I just can't get it up"
During the disco craze, my Mom listened with me to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack every night. Finally, she asked me, while listening to “More Than a Woman,” she asked me why they were singing about that “Bald Headed Woman”.
🤣 I sometimes hear it as four-legged woman
'Ain't no woman like the One Eyed Gott..'
😆😆
.
LOL! A lady at work said her brother used to say "Banana Woman" instead of "more than a woman."
My mom thought they said “My little woman Julie” instead of “More than a woman to me” 😂
“Touched for the 31st time”
I will never be able to un-hear that now. Thanks🤣🤣🤣
That number is way too low, also.
@@nickpaine unfortunately yes
Hey, it's not like we EXACTLY where that woman has been!!
@@nickpaine She was around 26 years old then. That number might have been about accurate.
That is actually an underestimation of how often Madonna has been touched,LOL
I used to think the Foreigner's Double Vision lyrics were "my mind is bacon but my body's Sizzlelean" instead of "my mind is racing, but my body's in the lead". Made sense to me.
LOL!!!!
Too funny!
This has me laughing so hard, I can't even type!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's very funny. I remember Sizzlelean.
OMFG this is the funniest comment I've read so far !!!
It is absolutely brilliant !!
Journey's "Open Arms" got me. The chorus has the line "Here I stand with open arms", but when I first heard it in the Heavy Metal Movie soundtrack, at first I thought it was "Here I stand with broken arms". That stuck in my head so deeply that I couldn't sing the song without using the mistaken lyric. It took years to stop.
For a while I thought a verse in Bob Seger's "Like A Rock" he sang "I was leaving salad everywhere". Actually he sings "I was lean & solid everywhere"
Dobie Gray's "Drift Away": "Give me the Beach Boys and free my soul".
Same with me!
as a kid i heard give me the beach boys thats 3 months old..
Never misheard it that way, but I sing it that way anyhow.
@@chefpegleg1 Seriously I thought Drift Away was an homage to that group for years.
@@chrismulwee4911 For 40 years I had it wrong. And frankly, the real lyric RUINED the song for me. It lost its meaning. It's much better as a tribute to the Beach Boys.
My friends' father came in their kitchen, while "I wanna hold your hand"was playing on the radio. He said to us,"Why would he want to hold her hand, if it gives him hives?"
In the 80s my mom asked me who it was that sang the song "Come to me, Leon". I wasn't a huge music fan, and had no idea what she was talking about about. A few days later, she heard the song again and pointed it out. It was Culture Club's "Karma Chameleon".
Lol well i just realized i got that one wrong my whole life 😂 i thought it said "come-a come-a come-a come-a come a chameleon" like they were stuttering 😂😂😂
Back growing up in the Age of Aquarius, there was a song with the line "She's a must to avoid." My 7 year old ears heard "She's a muscular boy." Given it was late 60s/early 70s, I was confused...
Herman's Hermits! I had trouble with that lyric too.
A good friend was convinced for years that The Ants Are My Friends, They're Blowin' In The Wind. Thanks for this, it was a fun video!
Bwahahaaaa 😆
😂😂😂😂😂
I still say that because I like it that way.
The best laugh I've had all summer!
From now on, when I see ants blowing in the wind; I'll think of this song.
Journey- Any Way You Want It:
"She loves to move
She loves to groove
She loves eleven things"
As a kid I always thought it was “We built this city on rocky road…” I was a fat kid, so that explains it a little bit.
When Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" was introduced, I thought for a year the lyric in the chorus "what I love is makin' music with my friends" was "...makin' music with my breath." I thought, "what a brilliant metaphor for singing!"
I saw Fogarty a few years ago and he does sing, "There's a bathroom on the right", while pointing. I love when an artist can make fun of their work.
That's fantastic. I never misheard that line before... but now I'll hear the bathroom on the right.
I never misheard it ~ but a local radio DJ used to sing it "bathroom on the right" & ever since, I think about that, but still would sing it bad moon on the rise
But where's the baboon??
I sing those lyrics just to piss off my sister!
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 there's a baboon on the right ! A friend and I thought we made that up along with the bathroom. Lol The little kids loved us adults cutting up. Like you picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel. With 400 children and a crop in the field. I bet to this day they remember that even though they are older now than we were when we sang it. Good times! 😊Miss my friend. He passed in 2015.
When we were kids, my mom and dad would listen to the Beatles. The line was "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah". We would sing it "She loves to, yeah, yeah, yeah". My parents were secretly laughing at it, but when we got older and learned the real lyrics, my dad admitted that our version was much better.
I saw the Beatles on the Sullivan Show in 64 when I was 11. My Dad laughed at the Beatles and said " They say yeah yeah yeah because they forget words. Boy was he wrong.
@@kolgy1 I was 11 in '64 and remembered that it was Sunday night that the Beatles were introduced on the Ed Sullivan Show.
My little niece used to sing “…Chinese happy people…” instead of”..shiny happy people…..”
When my son was around 5 he was singing along to "Big Old Jet Airliner" but instead sang "Big Old Johnny Rhino". He's in his 30's now and I still tease him.
Whe my buddy was young, his interpretation was "big ol' Jed ate a rhino"!
Eagles: On a dark desert highway, COOL WHIP in my hair.
Eddie Money: Two CHICKS and a pair of dice.
Lookin for a lover that won’t blow my brother
To Caeser Romero: I'm sure you didn't hear that. Maybe it would serve you best to *listen in context* and not add your foibles to the lyrics.
Many people do not mishear many lyrics; they use this as an excuse to add their own words and *mental state* to the situation, believing it's the artists' doing and not the listener.
Eagles: We threw up in the middle of the night... What a nice surprise, when you'e out of bud.
I definitely sang the Cool whip line.
Two tick, two pair of lice. Pack your bags we'll need two mites.🤔
I NEVER heard anyone think the lyrics to Queen's We Will Rock You was anything but "kicking your can all over the place." Freddie would NEVER have written nor sung cat in there, he was like me... a HUGE cat lover!!
I think they were just trying to be funny with most of these.
I have actually heard people sing along to it that way mentioning about kicking cats about like tins.
So that’s not exactly wrong nor is it people just trying to be funny.
And you’re right: Brian May who wrote the song loves all animals and wouldn’t write a lyric about blatant animal cruelty nor would Mercury even remotely agree to sing anything about harming the very animals he worshipped. 😒
An old song called "Deep Purple," for sunset colors. "When the deep turtle falls over sleepy garden walls." I imagined some really "deep" thoughtful turtle so wrapped up in deep thought he falls off the wall.
😂 My sister and I are in our 60s and watched the The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in '64. Now learning the lyric is "I CAN'T HIDE" had both of us looking at each other stunned. Still haven't stopped laughing.
What did you think it said?
I can't thank you all enough for the comments you put up here. I have laughed so much in the last 30 mins. I haven't been able to laugh much about anything for a long time. You are all wonderful. 🤣🤣🤣👍
Me too. I am so glad I came to this comment stream. I needed to laugh too!
I concur ‼️😆🤣😂😅
Sending you big hugs.
This is some funny shit
Dear Carmel Henn: This is what the uploader wants. Interesting though. However, Madonna and Pink Floyd's would have a stark and obvious reason for a non-Mondegreen.
Madonna's _virgin_ theme, being touched for the 31st time, wouldn't make sense, neither would Pink Floyd's theme of regular education, inviting children from primary, secondary, junior high school to sing about "birth control" is pathetic.
Because another person is singing certain songs, this *doesn't provide an excuse for the listener to undermine his mental state* by adding his warped foibles without, at least, researching the lyrics.
Least we forget Alannis Morsett’s “ it’s not fair, to remind me.. of the cross eyed bear that you gave to me “
Haha
LOL!
"Hey Boo Boo, is he makin' fun of cross-eyed bears?"
"I think he is, Yogi."
I had a friend who heard the line from Go West's King of Wishful Thinking "I'll pretend my ship's not sinking" as "I'll pretend my shit's not stinking" and someone who heard EW & F "heart's afire" as "pants on fire" and "pacifier"
I'll pretend my shit's not stinking, cuz I'm the king of wishful thinking 🤪 😂 That one is funny. Thank you 😂
That one’s common again that’s what I heard as a child
Every time I hear Queensrÿche's "Eyes of a Stranger" and the line, "And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger", what my brain hears is... "And I raise my hamster, into the eyes of a stranger"
That’s is a class tune though! One of my favs
So funny.....
My daughter who was 7 at the time would sing “Go, Go, Jason’s waterfalls” instead of “Don’t go chasing waterfalls”. Cracked me up every time 🤣🤣🤣
I was an adult and my kid laughed at me for singing it the same way 🤣🤣
My husband never heard a Beatles song until he was in his late 20s and it was Come Together. His immediate response was “what were they on?” Everything honey. Everything.
😆😆😆 where was e from, Somalia?
I was having a party at my place back in the day, and the White Album was playing. Over the conversations, I heard some chick screaming the lyrics, "Hey, Buffalo Bill, what did you kill, Buffalo Bill".
Why would he ask that?
@@davidcruz8667 Why wouldn’t he?
Please tell us why your husband never heard the Beatles?
The Clint Black song "killin time" was popular when I was a kid. The line is "when I cross that line and they bury me" but I sang it as ,"well I crossed that line and a bear eat me" lol. My parents kept the tv on CMT all the time in the early 90s and I was a toddler then, so my mom had to tell me about this
My youngest son, who was a fairly old teen at the time, thought the one line in “Fly Like An Eagle” was “shoot the children with no shoes on their feet” 😂 I looked at him like he was mental and asked how that made sense since he got the surrounding lyrics correct, “Why would you feed babies who don’t have enough to eat and house the people living in the streets but SHOOT THE CHILDREN with no shoes on their feet?! That makes no sense! ‘Oh you have no shoes? Well that’s it for you then…’” 😂 We were both cracking up so bad!
Let’s all ask Nick to do a *PART 2*
There are SO MANY MORE of these we could come up with. Ya’ll in⁉️
I thought that's what we are doing.
These are funnier than his, though. His were good, but reading these comments I have tears rolling down my cheeks! Owls Puking In My Bed, Indeed!
@@jeffreyhill8040 ~ 😆🤣😂😅
Oh yeah
This could be interesting, we could get a part 2, 3, 4, & 5 with all these in the comments. 😆
I'm glad I am not the only one who hears "Wrapped up like a douche" :D
I know the lyric but I sing douche cause it's funny
They did it on purpose. "And a little Hurly-Burly gave my anus curly-whirly" confirms it. I'm in favor of the improved lyrics, and Springsteen is mad he didn't come up with em.
Doesn’t douche make the song more poignant?
That's exactly what he sang. 😂
I always thought it was DEUCE and talking about playing cards
I got a book about Mondegreens called Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy, which is hilarious. It has many famous misheard lyrics from as late as the 1990’s with accompanying artwork to depict the incorrect lyrics. The phenomenon is famous enough that a commercial shows a guy singing Pour Some Shook up Ramen to Pour Some Sugar on Me while it is playing on the radio. His wife, who is riding in the car with him at the time, questions his interpretation of the songs lyrics. But the best one I ever heard was for Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water with the misheard lyrics being Slow Motion Walter, Fire Engine Guy. It is in the aforementioned book and the accompanying illustration is priceless.
Had that same book. Good stuff.
The funny thing is that the lyrics I mistakenly think I hear are always better than the real lyrics.
The Beatles sang The girl with kaleidoscope eyes Not the girl with colitis goes by. 😹😹😹
Yep. That's how I always hear it.
Another Beatles song Michelle "Sunday monkey won't play piano song, play piano song!"(really:
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble
Très bien ensemble)
Lol I heard that reference on The Nanny!
YES! Good one!!!!
Too funny!!!
I always thought “Secret Agent Man” was “Secret Asian Man”. It made more sense after someone told me!
That's what I thought too.
A guy I worked with who was Vietnamese and knew the actual words changed them anyway to make it about him!
Me too. 😄😂😂
Lmao
Yup, me too!!
Years ago I was a singer in The USAF Academy band. We were learning Hue y Lewis and The News ' "Heart Of Rock and Roll" . There's a line that states "The Old Boy may be barely breathin'", which I interpreted as "the oboe may be bad in Cleveland" . My old band mates still make fun of me (over 35 years).
I thought for years it was "Now the OVUM may be barely breathin'"!
You Missed the most famous of them all when the band playing “Louis Louis” was arrested by the CIA
Because the CIA had misunderstood & misheard the lyrics
And the judge dismissed the case because in his opinion nobody could understand what they were singing.
The title is "Louie Louie," NOT "Louis Louis."
Paul Young "every time you go away, you tale a piece of MEAT with you"
ROFL good one!
Lmao that's funny
That's not a misheard lyric. That's what Paul Young sings. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise.
This is what John Bobbit sings. Lorainna, don't bring my love to town and throw it in an empty field on your way.
It's supposed to be"You take a piece of me with you" but,I'm sure you already knew that.
Way back when, I thought Madonna was kinda weird when she came out with the song "I wanna dress you up in nylon, all over your body". Then I realized it was "my love", not "nylon". 😣
😆 more like vinyl or leather
As a kid, I thought she was saying "Satin sheets / A custom made in flounder." Whoops!
Nylon. LMAO
ewwww
We were driving back from my sister's wedding and heard "Drops of Jupiter by Train. When mom sang "And Van Halen is overated" I about drove into the ditch. Still makes me laugh.
Had a friend that misheard a different Madonna song Dress You Up In My Love. She thought she was singing “Dress you up in nylons”. She was startled it was played on the radio. When I tried to correct her, she used the beginning lyrics about satin sheets and velvet kisses as confirmation it was an SM song. Someone she worked with finally showed her the lyrics. She declared a subject never to be discussed again-at least in her presence. She did receive an anonymous gift at work of a box full of nylons. Great gag but no one fessed up to doing it.
When Carly Simon sang "You're So Vain", she sings, "Woke up this morning and there were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee" I heard, "Woke up this morning there were CLOWNS in my coffee, CLOWNS in my coffee. "Clowns in my coffee?"
I think that there really were clowns in her coffee!
me too!
Why not? One makes as much sense as the other!
@@shadowlouise You never added milk or cream to a cup of coffee then.
I dated a very attractive lady in the 70s, who was a second grade teacher, she got angry with me when I corrected her as she was singing "clowns in my coffee". To be fair I was laughing so hard, I had tears in my eyes. I tried to compensate for her hurt feelings by telling her that I once thought CCR was saying "bathroom on the right" instead of Bad Moon on the Rise. She sat up looked straight ahead got ridged; 'Its not 'bathroom on the right'? I laughed my way out of what could've been a great relationship
A friend of mine has a son who thought the line was "I wish they offered me California girls..."
No way!!! I honestly thought that's what the lyric was lol it made sense, I'm not a huge Beach Boys fan , I just looked it up now haha! Crazy !
I'm reading comments for almost an hour now, and had a good time laughing so loud!
My father, a few years ago, was often talking about a one hit wonder from the 80's that was frequently aired at the time, but the only line he was able to recall was "I love a Japanese, baby". I didn't see at all what the hell was that song.
Some day, he was walking in a shopping mall and heard the song playing, coming from a clothing store for young adults. He ran into the store and asked the attendant if he knew the song's title. The young man told him it was a CD playing and showed him the jacket. It was a compilation of 80's hits, and the song appeared to be "Jeopardy" from Greg Kihn Band. The line that my father was able to recall was in fact : "Our love's in jeopardy, baby". Pretty funny!
When he made me hear the song, I've immediately recognized it, but I had to admit, it was far in my memory, I was about 7-8 years old when that song got popular.
For the longest time I heard the line in Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon as "When the rainbow shaves you clean you will know." I knew it couldn't be right, but couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was.
That's what I always heard.
You're thinking of "Dreams" lyrics, not Rhiannon.
@@berniej.rucker4252 Right you are....
Eric Clapton: “I’m gonna be your for...ever man” was heard as “ I’m gonna be your poor rebel man” for years and years until I heard actually watched him sing the words.
Got to be your foam rubber man
Poor little man is what I heard :)
@@franksumser9985 -He just bounces from woman to woman.
@Malynda Beuth Me too, up until just now when I read your comment!
I thought it was rebel man too!
I was about 7 when the BeeGees came out with More Than A Woman I swore they were saying ballheaded woman to me instead of more than a woman to me. I was embarrassed when I realized the lyric but the I saw a Margaret Cho comedy special where she said she thought the same thing as a kid. Almost everyone I knew thought the GoGos Our Lips Are Sealed was Alex The Seal LOL
I thought Our lips are sealed was Olleybop fever.
I heard "Bald Headed Woman" too.
My dad thought it said four letter woman and he wouldn’t let me listen to it because he thought it was a dirty song 🤣
@@melissacarrigan7922 ...back then I worked construction and there was always a radio playing in the background, all of us also heard the lyrics as "four letter woman" and we would sing it out loud that way and laugh -- good times... 💛💯 ...we all knew the correct lyrics, but it is very easy to hear "four letter woman" instead... although it makes absolutely no sense singing it that way! 😂😂🤣
Speaking of the Bee Gees, in Too Much Heaven, it sounds like Barry is saying "Oh, you're a n****r" instead of "Oh, you and me girl"!
Petty: For years I thought he was singing, "I'm runnin' down the drain", a song about a burn-out who just can't get it together and sinks lower and lower into his failures. The lyric his producers couldn't get him to re-record so that it was understood is: "I'm running down a dream".
Wow, that kinda changes the whole song...
You left off what, in my mind, is the most obvious mondygreen......almost the entire song "Louie, Louie". There are so many misunderstood lyrics in that song, making it really obscene, that supposedly the FBI did an investigation on it!
it’s 2 am and i’m sitting here on my couch laughing so hard. after all, who knew it didn’t matter if we’re naked or not as long as a bathroom is on the right.
When I was a kid, I thought "She had a chicken to ride & I don't care", by the Beatles, She's got a ticket to ride & she don't care. Blinded by the light RIPPED UP LIKE A DOUCH, still sing it that way now.
Manfred Mann one I still hear it that way. 😂😂
my worst misheard lyric was Garth Brooks friends in low places it says "Now I'm not big on social graces, think i'll slip on down to the Oasis".... I couldn't make out the lyrics and thought he said "Now I'm not big on sausage gravy" ...
My brother thought Kenny Rogers was singing "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with FOUR HUNDRED CHILDREN and a crop in the fields." 😱 🌾🌾🌾 🤣
The Carpenters “Close to you.” I always thought they sang “And He sprinkled walnuts in your hair…” The actual lyrics are “And He sprinkled gold dust in your hair..”
"Sprinkled walnuts in your hair". LOL!
Lol! 😁
I knew the correct lyrics. When my 18 year old nephew was just a baby he had the most beautiful blond hair and blue eyes. I would sing that song to him all the time.
It's "So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue ." And " On the day that you were born the Angels got together, and decided to create a dream come true ". That's what she sang before that lyric.
Very funny
“And there’s a wino down the road!” Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven.
😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
You mean it's not???
😂😂😂😂
Whole lotta love also. Sounds like he is saying " drink your Kool aid baby."
@@willymaykit1482 Lol 😁😄😁
When I was on the radio, my niece (5 at the time) called the station and asked me to play, "Looks Like Tomates," instead of Looks Like We Made it." I had recorded the request and replayed it... I got so many "oh isn't that cute" remarks from listeners.
Or looks like we mated
When I first heard abba's, the winner takes it all, I said to my Mrs, "did you just hear the first line of that song? She said," I was in your arse, thinking I belong there ". I laughed so much when I heard it again and realized that she said, I was in your arms" lol.
Rolling Stones "I’ll never leave your pizza burnin" from Beast of Burden. 😄
I'll never eat, your pizzas burning.
That's good!
They need a Part 2 of this one, there are so many other songs that weren't mentioned
ive heard that before along with bachman turner making sausage biscuts LOL
GOOD ONE! If I remember correctly someone published a couple of books containing "Misunderstood Song Lyrics." I would laugh til I hurt. It seems to me that Steve Miller Band's "Jet Airliner" contained numerous misheard lyrics.
I had a girlfriend once who asked me if I remembered that the actor David Soul from the TV show Starsky and Hutch had recorded some songs years ago. I said I had and she said her favorite was the song about the spaceship. I said what spaceship? She said you know, the one where he says "Don't Give Up on a Spaceship". I said the lyrics are, Don't Give Up on Us Baby".
We sang Colly Birds in elementary school. Through the years I wondered why everyone changed it.
Growing up I used to hear Year of the cat by Al Stewart I was probably eight one of the lines goes "you've thrown away your chance you've lost your ticket"I thought he was saying you've thrown away your chance on a lobster ticket. I used to ask my older sister what that meant she would laugh.
Remember the song Pop Music? Lyrics: NewYork, London, Paris, Munich, everybody loves pop music. My friend thought it was everybody likes my floozy. She even asked for it in the music store. I peed myself 😂!
That’s an oldie but goodie! 😂
Too funny!
To Jacqueline Ganske: Was that really you and your mental foibles thinking?
Shooby dooby do her. Pop her, do her.
I did that too, I went to the music store asking for your ugly, but when it was supposed to be emf unbelievable
The guards at the Wicked Witch of the West's castle singing "Oreos; Eat Oreos."
Oh B.O. oooh B.O.
For a long time, I've thought that would make a great cross-promotion for "The Wizard of Oz" and Nabisco.
What do they really say?
They actually referenced that in Wreck It Ralph where the castle guards are Oreos and sing "O-re-o. Ore-o". ruclips.net/video/NIcHlM6W8fc/видео.html
@@JPSE57 ~ That’s hilarious 😆
When I first heard Crowded House’s song “Private Universe”, I could have sworn Neil Finn was singing about birds returning to the POND to “talk”.
Apparently, it seems to be a common Mondegreen among Crowded House fans.
The correct lyric? “I have all I want - is that simple enough? The birds come back to the PALM to talk. They talk to me, the birds talk to me… if I go down on my knees.”
My favorite misheard lyric is in Don’t Bring Me Down by ELO.
ELO would often sing “Bruce” instead of “Groos”during live performances. :)
Lol I thought it was Bruce until today.
It became "Bruce" later. I think the original was "Gruss!" a German word (literally "Greeting!") somewhat akin to "aloha." Capitalized because German regular nouns are capitalized.
I thought it was Bruce too
"I want to fly like a beagle" Steve Miller Band
"You can't always get a chihuahua" Stones
I thought I was the only one to sing it that way. But in my case I intentionally sing it that way!! ROTF LMFAO "Fly like a (B)Eagle!" ROTF LMAO
A Chihuahua? Who does that?😁
I used to nnnnnnnb think nnnnnnnb they bv ssng Shoot the children, with no shoes on their feet. How's the mlm people, livin' in the streets.
@@sheriheffner2098 Hahaha! That one, I can't stop laughing!
@@sheriheffner2098 OK Sheri, now my husband has joined me and it's uncontrollable laughter. Great job!👍
Whoa. When I was young I thought it was four colly birds. Hearing the right thing when you think you are wrong. My mind is blown. It's like a reverse Mondegreen.
A Neergednom?
John Fogerty - Center field... "Put me in cold, I'm ready to bake..." My former mother-in-law (whose daughter was contestant number one) thought it was a song about baking.
Once, during a church service the congregation was singing the Hymn of the Day. The upcoming line of the song read, "I will fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun, Oh Lord have Mercy on me." In my most confident voice I sang out, "I will fail on my face with my KNEES to the rising sun..." Everyone nearby was staring at me. My friends (and partners in "crime") were laughing hysterically! I've almost sung it wrong many, many times!
That's funny!
