mistoferin -> RE: That isn't what they were singing.. (6/7/2008 5:20:06 AM)

My sister always thought it was:
"There's a bathroom on the right"
When we all know it was really:
"There's a bad moon on the rise"
Creedence Clearwater Revival

In the song "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath there is a line of lyrics that is very commonly misunderstood as:
"Can you help me, thought you were my friend"
When actually they are singing:
"Can you help me occupy my brain"



DiurnalVampire -> RE: That isn't what they were singing.. (6/7/2008 5:24:28 AM)

Theres the everfamous "Scuse me while I kiss this guy
which is actually 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

One I hear around work often "Just call me angel of the morning, just brush my teeth before you leave me, baby"
which should be "Just call me angel of the morning, just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby"



hejira92 -> RE: That isn't what they were singing.. (6/7/2008 9:44:23 AM)

There's actually a website www.kissthisguy.com that has hundreds of these. It's hysterical to read what some people heard in lyrics.
 
My personal favorite:
 
I wanna rock n roll all night, and part of everyday!



spinninsweetness -> RE: That isn't what they were singing.. (6/7/2008 11:58:18 AM)

Thanks for a good laugh Stella, sorry I'm sur eI know tons but none spring to mind right now.

A famous old one, Marzy Doats.

Marzy doats and dozie doats
And littlambsy divey
A kittlie divie to to you

Translation :

Mares eat oats and does eat oats,
And little lambs eat ivy,
A kid'll eat ivy too, do you ?

That's a very old one,  older than I methinkst. I had it on 45 when I was little, and the title actually was "Marzy Doats".

I have heard, from a native speaker, that the song is constructed of Russian words that sound English, or vice-versa, so the whole thing is bilingual wordplay.

I can't figure how somebody could get the Paranoid line wrong, it's quite clear. Personally, I have trouble follwing speech over background noise, and I have always followed guitar lines rather than vocals in music (long before I started playing), so I screw up lyrics constantly.

darchChylde -> RE: That isn't what they were singing.. (6/7/2008 5:17:00 PM)

Here's my personal misheard lyric, i had it screwed for years.

"This one goes out to the one-eyed dog."
actual lyric "This one goes out to the one I love."

Rem - The One I Love



angelbluewingsz -> RE: That isn't what they were singing.. (6/7/2008 7:06:30 PM)

the classic "in the garden of eden, baby " springs to mind as one screw up of lyrics that worked

I used to think that Queens 'Fat Bottom Girls' was Black Bottom Girls.... sitting around a bonfire on charred logs that stained their bottoms black.

Yeah I know.

Waiting for the Bus by ZZ Top:

'I got my brown paper bag and my beaujolais...' 

(...'take home pay'...)
