Misheard Lyrics

[LW Bercini]

The patter song and video from this thread reminded me of my favorite example of misheard lyrics : this oldie but goodie on YouTube

Sure it lacks somewhat in production value, but it makes me laugh every time.

 

[gdiscenza]

The first that springs to mind for me is:

"There's a bathroom on the right"

G.D.

 

[Stan]

Omg.....that has been the greatest misheard lyric in my life. I heard it just like you !!!

 

[Pantherjon]

The first that springs to mind for me is:

"There's a bathroom on the right"

G.D.

And there is one to the left as well!:roll:Jon Fogarty has actually done that song in concert with those words as a spoof to see if the audience was paying attention..

Then there is the the Stones in Beast of Burden where he 'can suck a duck'...:rofl:

A full length parody with this title used to be (and may still be) often heard on Edmonton's CIRK

 

[LW Bercini]

ZOMG! Who would ever think that an emo song done in Latin could be so hysterical!

 

[Peartree]

And of course, the ever popular...
Blinded by the light...wrapped up like a douche, another rumor in the night...

I thought it was "wrapped up with a Deusenberg, a rumor in the night..."

"There's a bathroom on the right"

Yes...We saw John in Nashville a couple years back, he intentionally throws it in that song now.

 

[Gary Byrum]

OK. For all of you from back in the day.........

[Pantherjon]

And of course, the ever popular...
Blinded by the light...wrapped up like a douche, another rumor in the night...

I always heard it as:
Revved up like a diesel in the middle of the night...
Actual lyric is:
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

And then the line:
And little wirly birdy gave my anus a twirly whirly and asked me if I needed a ride....:eyepop:

When in actuality it is:
And little wirly birly came by in in his curly whirly and asked me if I needed a ride..

From the Manfred Mann version of the song..

When I use to play out, I would interject different words in songs just to see if anybody was paying attention. A favorite was an Eagles song 'Lying Eyes'. I swopped anticipating with masterbateing. If you were paying attention, it was pretty funny!

Funny. We did some of that also. For a short while we took on that tune "Whip It" from Devo and in the line where they say, "Now whip it, into shape, shape it up, get straight, go forward, move ahead....." we would replace the word 'move', drop the 'a' in ahead, and say 'gimme' hea*.

Talk about when the whole audience would get it wrong is when we played the Stones tune "Get off of my Cloud", the audience would sing along with, "Hey, hey you, you get off of my back".

 

[PhlAsh]

What's the difference between Mick Jagger and an Highlander?
One says 'Hey, You, Get offa my cloud"

The other says

"Hey MacLeod! Gi offa me ewe!"
