Hold me closer Tony Danza

my roommate last year thought everyone was "Crankin dat soda jerker" to the "soda boy" song

we are not living together this year

In Bennie and the Jets by Elton John, I thought he was saying mohair boobs, not mohair boots...hey, I was like 6

My freshman roomate thought I Would Die 4U by Prince was Apple Dapple Doo... yes, really

In that Apologize song, for the longest time I could have sworn he was singing, "It's tooo late to get a job".

INXS's song "Suicide Blonde" My college buddy told me to listen for the words, "Super Salad Bar". Now, every time I hear the song, that's all I hear.

---

Damnation, you stole my thunder. Except I tell my son it's "Soup and Salad Bar."

Rock the Kazbah....yea, thought it was Rob the Cashbox initially...

quote:

---

"One ton Tomato, I got a one ton Tomato"

---

That's how I always heard it, except for one small thing: "One ton Tomato, I need a one ton Tomato"

quote:

The Stones.....

"I'll never be....your beast of burden..."
I heard...
"I'll never be.....your pizza burning..."

LOL

How timely!

The cheesy graphics on this one always make me grin, my favorite being "run from a ****ty date".

Another Steve Miller song, Take The Money and Run lyric...

They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle

I thought he was saying

They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big a**hole.

I was singing along while listening to the song with my gf and she busted out laughing.

For a long time I thought the song "Elegantly Wasted" by INXS said "IIIIIIII better get wasted"

Speaking of ones you here correctly but make no F'n sense.

Neil Diamonds I am I said:

quote:

---

I am I said To no one there And no one heard at all not even the chair

WTF? If it didn't have to make any sense and your looking for something only to rhyme chair was the best he could do?

1st off, "I am, I said" is an awesome song...


Misheard lyrics:

Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror"

I heard, "They follow each other on the window" and "They follow the pattern of the window sill"

he sang, "They follow each other on the wind, ya' know" and "They follow the pattern of
the wind, ya' see"


"Guitar Man" as sung by Elvis Presley

I heard, "Well I nearly 'bout starved to death down in Memphis, I run out of money in Lubbock"

He sang, "Well I nearly 'bout starved to death down in Memphis, I run out of money and luck"


Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, "Don't Do Me Like That"

I heard, "You're a Republican, give someone else a try."

He sang, "You're in the public eye, give someone else a try."

I swear at the end of The Who's "Eminence Front" when they are repeating the chorus one or two of the them are saying "baby lets f@ck"

I have to read almost half the Red Hot Chili Peppers lyrics cuz I have no clue what Keidis is singing about.

From John Anderson's Straight Tequila Night

What he says:

But don't ask her on a straight tequila night.
She'll start thinkin' about him, then she's ready to fight.
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight,
On a straight tequila night.

What I heard for the longest time:

But don't ask her on a straight tequila night.
She'll start thinkin' about him, then she's ready to fight.
Plates are broken, hard on every man in sight
On a straight tequila night.

My husband corrected me. Then laughed hysterically at me.

yellow ledbetter..
whole song

That Yellow Ledbetter is hilarious!!!

AC/DC: "Dirty Deeds"

I thought until 3 years ago:
"Dirty Deeds and the Dunder Chief." (Makes no sense at all, whatever.)

They sing:
"Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap."


You'd think I'd have been smart enough to at least get part of the song right... since it is the title.

Skip to 1 minute in if you'd like.

Lots of songs by Pearl Jam or Bush have parts where its anybody's guess as to what is being said.

Except that Pearl Jam actually includes the lyrics in their albums. Which makes songs like "Sleight of Hand" much better.

My wife sang "Look at me, I could be....centerfield" as "Look at me...I could be...seventeen". And I let her for a really long time. It amused me.

How has this not made the cut yet? Still my favorite misheard lyrics.

I used to think the lyrics to "Louie, Louie" were "....
Never mind. It's been 45 years and I still don't know what they are!

I got in trouble when I was young for singing Thin Lizzy...

"The boys are black and brown, the boys are black and brown..."

My mom thought I sounded racist....

I thought I was a rock star...

Sit down feta cheese!

I echo that the Yellow Ledbetter link above is hilarious.

My wife and I just watched the Yellow Ledbetter link. Allsome!

I had someone tell me that they thought Bob Marley was singing:

Accidents, move a bunch of people

rather than:

Exodus, movement of Jah people

"Make me fries..."

I've actually incorporated the phrase "I don't want a whale in a box or a bag" into several conversations.

In the video, the picture of the guy with his "whale" in a box had me in stitches (at ~1:16 into the video).

When I was younger I thought Steve Miller was singing about a guy named "Big Ol Chad Adalina" until I saw the name of the song years later on the Greatest Hits CD.
