Trippy Mushrooms

Just wondering if anyone else has any funny misheard lyrics to share. I'll start with some my friend heard while listening to Lynchpin by Fear Factory. The song starts with a shout of:
'can't tear me apart'.
My friend,however,interpreted this as:
'god gave me a bong.'

I'm not completely sure how that happened.There's not much similarity but then he was probably stoned at the time.

this is the dark age of love

pain like a drain on my sense of wonder,makes you wonder,how many butterflies have died in growing old and trying to please the ones they least admire?

not very amusing- but in the Blur song "Coffee and TV" when he sang

"History"

I always heard it as

"Please don't leave"

mine is better.

I do know someone who thought the lyric to the chorus of NIN's Closer was:
'I wanna funk you like enamel'.
I'm not even sure how that makes sense.

What you mean the salmon bit isn't in the song?

I bought that album...what a mistake.

My brother always used to think that song about 'we're all going to Sanfransisco...' was actually about going to 'San Fran's Disco.'

I don't have a clue what the actual song is called.

I also though that in the song "This years Love" by david Grey, the lyrics went-

"This year's love in Italy"

But it's actually "This year's love, it better last"

I want a piano and some degree of talent so i could play this song though.

Well that's what some people like to do with their Sunday's.

A Chad Kroeger hate thread? I couldn't have thought of a better one.

I always used to get the words to the Bangles 'Walk like an Egyptian' mixed up. I was convinced for years that it was 'walk like Mel Gibson.'

It's because they say the words so fast.

*smug* just kicked odie off the table...again

One of my mates was convinced that the lyrics to P.I.M.P. by 50 cent went like so:
I'm a motherf*cking B.I.M.B.
what made it worse was that when we asked him what he thought the song was called, he said P.I.M.P.

What was it I said that made you think I give a sh*t?

As far as i know, its "But they told me, he swears,
Tryin' to talk to me, to me, to me"

I was the same with the Smiths one actually.

No, it is an excellent song by the Smiths. Anyone else doing it should die. The Smiths rule, end of story.

Don't get me started on the Darkness doing Street Spirit (Fade Out). It may be the best thing they've ever done, but that's not saying much and they still should die horrid painful deaths.

Badly Transcribed Song Lyrics
Posted By Richard (15 May, 2004)

The following are allegedly genuine incorrect transcriptions of song lyrics taken from various publications (on the web, in books, etc)

It's a hard egg -- Bonnie Tyler,
It's A Heartache

Sweet dreams are made of cheese -- The Eurythmics,
Sweet dreams are made of this

Wake up I might sit on you -- George Harrison,
I've got my mind set on you

We are the Mormons -- Asia,
Heat of the moment

Sherry don't like it/Rock the catbox -- from The Clash's "Rock the Casbah" is really
Sharif don't like it/Rock the casbah

Mice aroma -- The Knack,
My Sharona

Take your pants down and make it happen -- Irene Cara's "Flashdance", of course it's really
Take your passion and make it happen

Gotta leave it all behind and take a cruise -- from Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" is really
gotta leave....and face the truth

Baking carrot biscuits -- Bachman-Turner Overdrive,
Taking care of business

I am a rock, I am an onion -- Simon and Garfunkel, of course,
I am a rock, I am an island

Only the lonely get laid -- the Motels,
Only the lonely can play (where are these people's brains?)

We are ancient Sophocles from REM's "Orange Crush" is really
We are agents of the free.

Weenie skin, you and me from REM's "Cuyahoga", is really
We knee-skinned, you and me

Tell me a jawbreaker,
Only in Jamaica,
Calmly celebrate her from REM's "Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite", is really
Call me when you try to wake her

Whoa! Nipsey Russell! from B-52s,
Roam if you want to

These are the good times/Are you straight or bi? from Chic,
These are the good times/Our new state of mind

Olives have feelings -- from the Go-go's
Our lips are sealed

Last night I dreamt of some bagels -- from Madonna's "La Isla Bonita", is really
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro

She ripped up her douche in the middle of the night
Wrapped up like a douche/Another boner in the night from Manfred Mann's Earth Band's "Blinded By the Light" is really
Revved up like deuce/Another runner in the night.

"I'M SIGNIFICANT!!!"
