Ever misheard the lyrics to a song? Have you been convinced they're singing one thing, only to find out it's something totally different? Famous misheard lyrics include Jimi Hendrix "Purple Haze" ("Excuse me while I kiss this guy..."), and Black Sabbath "Paranoid" ("I tell you to end your life" -- it's actually "enjoy life"). On a personal note, I always thought the chorus to Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" started with the words "Chop the goolie...", which always brought tears to my eyes... Apparently it's "Tropical the island breeze"! One friend's mum thought that Van Halen were singing about someone called "Maxwell John" ("Jump!"), whilst another friend's mum thought that The Police were singing about "Sue Lawley" ("So Lonely"). Got any more? Let us have 'em!

Think it was Billy Ocean who did the song " Going gets Tough" if you have a listen it sounds like " go and get stuffed". And a mate once misheard the Anti Nowhere League song " I Hate People" as "I Ate Meatballs" When i was a lad i always thought part of the lyrics in the Boomtown Rats song "Looking After Number One" said " I wanna Kick In The Balls" it didnt it actually said " I Want The Key To The Vault" |

I always remember listening to the Damned, 'Smash It Up', when my dad asked if it was an aftershave advert He explained "Oooh Splash It On! Splash It On!" And since then, that's what it sounds like to me too.

I was always a little worried by Joy Division's "Disorder": "I've been waiting for a guy to come and take me by the hand". Turns out it's "a guide". And there's a song called "It Could Be You" on Def Leppard's 1st album (which, by the way, is bloody good, unlike the drivel they peddled later) where I'm convinced he's singing "Can you feel the penis in my hand?". I Googled it recently, and it's "Can you feel the nearness of my hand?". Doesn't sound like it though. On a similar note, Nirvana's "Lithium" sounds like he's saying "That's OK, my willy's good". I think it's actually "my will is good"? |

my mum bless her, she's a bit of a gary barlow fan, and when take that brought out the song "pray" with the lyric "all i do each night is pray" she actually thought it was "when i do my chinese face"
I did a song with my old band the opening lyric being " lets not fight again" played it to a female mate who asked why i was singing about farting thinking it was "lets not fart again" |

Kiki Dee wrote a song called Loving And Free in about 1972. She went to see Elton John who eventually recorded and produced the song, and the album of that title, for her. Elton John told a radio interviewer in 1980 that when she sang... "Bound, I am bound ...he understood... "Bound I am bound Elton was confused. |

I liked writing that. It's a non-story.  |

To pick up on Herbivore's previous reply, if we're going with deliberately changed lyrics too, every time my girlfriend sticks on Norah Jones "Come Away With Me", I can't resist changing the "away with" to "all over"...!  |

if you like kings of leon, i was at the gig at the leas last year, and although i completely love them, had to be corrected by luke, our lead singer when i was singing " salty beef" instead of salty leaves. never took the trouble of reading the album sleeve notes............ he DOES sound strange. |

The one that always sticks in my mind is that Christopher Cross one ('Arthur's Theme'). At the beginning of the second verse he sings: 'Arthur he does as he pleases. All of his life, he's mastered choice'. Look it up on YouTube and have a listen. |

Jasper Carrot once did a sketch about Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody": "Beelzebub, has the Devil got a side-board..."

whilst sitting around at Deal Welfare club a while back the DJ was playing Shania Twain's 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman' and in the chorus she sings '...colour my hair, do what I dare...' except I heard '...cum in my hair, do what you dare...'. |

When I used to visit my friend, Jamie Evans, I always used to sing "Knock knock knocking on 'Evans door" as I did so... GnR effected me on so many levels. He had a perm. He wanted to look like Duff.
