I sing that one wrong on purpose.

It doesn't make any more sense then the mssheard one, but the misheard one is funnier.

Thanks for the info.

From The Pretenders' Brass in Pocket: "Gonna use my sausage." <-What

Well, if you're gonna wait 20 Years, you ought to get the Whole Damned Song!

Brass in Pocket - The Pretenders

I got brass in pocket
Got bottle, I am gonna use it
Intention, I feel inventive
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Got motion, restrained emotion
I been driving, Detroit leaning
No reason, just seems so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style, gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers, gonna use my my my imagination

CHORUS:
'Cause I'm going make you see
There's nobody else here, no one like me
I'm special, so special
I got to have some of your attention, give it to me

I got rhythm, I can't miss a beat
I got new skank, it's so reet
Got something, I'm winking at you
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style, gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers, gonna use my my my imagination

Woohoo! One of life's mysteries finally solved! Thanks Randu.

Ok, if anyone's up to the challenge, this one's related to another thread. The theme song to Three's Company has a line in it that sounds a lot like "take a step in his poo." I'm quite certain that this is incorrect.

"take a step that is new"

da boo da boo de doo!

black sabbath was criticized for the follow misread lyrics in their only hit song 'paranoid':

misread: i tell you to end your life, i wish i could but it's too late
actual: i tell you to enjoy life, i wish i could but it's too late

 

[Matthew-Spaltro]

Good point. However I think both Paranoid and Iron Man were their only two hits.

Heh heh. I think the poo version has a better finger snapping quality to it

I saw thew Kingsmen a few years ago and even THEY don't know those lyrics!!

 

[Trawlerman]

Hows about..... Kenny Rogers singing 'Lucile'


Heard as "You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel"

Should be "You picked a fine time to leave me lucile"





Sound As ever

misheard-money's your owner
real-my sharona

misheard-zap a troll
real-sad but true.

For years I thought Billy Idol's "Eyes Without a Face" was "I'll Supply the Fish"

It still sounds like that is what he is singing sometimes.

 

[Matthew-Spaltro]

The real lyrics were:
When you are with me
I'm free, I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others
We'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My Sacrifice

But I misheard them as:
When you are with me
I'm clean, I'm hairless, I suck fleas
Oh, on the ocean
We'll fry
Which brings years to my life
My Sack of Rice

 

[SBomm]

Chorus is:
it won't give up
it wants me dead
******* this noise inside my head

I heard:
Pokemon
it wants me dead
******* this noise inside my head
