Lyrics you butchered before al gore invented the net

[Wall2Boogie]

on the way home, I heard enter sandman by Metallica. When I was younger I used to think he would say tuck you in, warm within "sink your free throws in."

Of course that made no sense but that's what it sounded like.

Another is a given, wrapped up like a douche lol.

And of course basically all of yellow Ledbetter.

That's a few upon thousands I've screwed up, which I'll add to the list. What songs did you butcher with the absolute wrong lyrics?

 

[Col. Angus]

"just like the one winged dove"

Always thought she was singing about a dove that apparently flew around in a circle.

 

[BlueThruAndThru_rivals115784]

"Wild, Wild West"- Kool Moe Dee
Thought he was saying, "Pow Wow Bus" :ear:

 

[Glenn's Take]

Excuse me while I kiss this guy

 

[Wall2Boogie]

When I was in my sophomore yr no doubt had that song spider webs. My friends believed and made me believe she said I scream my balls off, rather than I screen my phone calls

 

[rmattox]

Bald-headed woman....bald-headed woman to me.

 

[UKGrad93]

I was born in a cross-eyed hurricane...

 

[DSmith21]

— Suffragette City by David Bowie

“This mellow fat chick just put my spine out of place” Actual lyric: “This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place”

 

[gamecockcat]

Zeppelin's Black Dog: I thought 'a big-legged woman ain't got no soul' was 'a filleted woman ain't got no sole' which is actually giving them credit for being way more clever than they proved to be, the big plagiarizers.

 

[UKwizard]

Slippery When Wet came out in 1986 when I was 7 years old and the big hit was You Give Love A Bad Name.

Well I didn't know the title of the song and I heard it on the radio many times but 7 year old me thought the lyrics went:

Shot through the heart and you're in pain you need love and a band-aid.

 

[GhostVol]

The Spinners: "One of a Kind, Love Affair Is". The 12 yr old me: "One of a Kind, Love of Fairies". My only excuse is I first heard that song on a AM transistor radio. When my big sister played it on her stereo, it was as clear as a bell.

 

[TruBluCatFan]

Regulate by Warren G and Nate Dogg

Real lyric: I'm getting jacked, I'm breaking myself
I can't believe they're taking Warren's wealth
They took my rings, they took my Rolex.

What I heard:
I'm getting jacked, I'm breaking myself
I can't believe they're taking Lawrence Welk
They took my rings, they took my Rolex.

I could never understand why had Lawrence Welk or why anybody would take him.

And no I wasn't smoking like Nate Dogg smoked and high everyday although that might be only way those lyrics make sense. :joy:

 

[UKGrad93]

STP Interstate Love Song
...Feeling like a ham & mustard shake...

 

[Zakk Wyldcat]

Neil Diamond - 'Forever in Blue Jeans' misheard as 'The Reverend Blue Jeans'

 

[gamecockcat]

My son, when much younger, thought The Who song was 'Won't Get Food Again'. Uh, no.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

Pretty much butchered the lyrics to most every song growing up. Was part of the fun listening to music at parties/hanging out with friends and arguing over what they were actually singing.

To this day I still change lyrics to songs to fit my narrative. Drives my wife and kids nuts. Which merely fuels the fire.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

ABC song, who woulda thought E came before G. Crazy world

 

[UK 82]

90% of Louie Louie. Love the song but the lyrics are mostly unintelligible. The FBI agrees .

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

"Little Red Corvette" was "Livin' Correct"

 

[Get Buckets]

As a kid "Cheeseburger and a pair of dice"

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

"Dude looks like a lady" became "Do the lucky lady". Kinda like my way better.

 

[cat_chaser]

Rolling Stones: war children, it's just a shot away.

Cat_chaser: Bartender, he's just a shout away.

I've always been awful with lyrics.

 

[nerdcat_rivals308595]

Had no idea what half the lyrics to Panama were.

 

[55wildcat]

the real lyric was "bad moon on the rise", but I always thought it was "baboon on the right" ...Really bugged the **** outta me cause I never understood a song about some baboon on the right..

 

[GrandePdre]

When I was a kid I thought "Our lips are sealed" as "Honest I see you."

Islands in the stream was "Smile and say mystery."

Yeah, I know. :flushed:

 

[UKGrad93]

Venus

I'm your fetus
I'm your pile
Of joy, desire

 

[78Gooses]

Jose can you see, by the dawn's early light...........

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Don't wanna be your pizza burning

Rolling Stones

 

[MegaBlue05]

Megadeth: 5 Magics (1990)

Original: I mastered/5 magics
Misheard: Thigh Master/Five Fat Chicks

 

[wildcatdonf]

The Clash - "Cats Paws"

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
Never understood a single word he said
But i helped him drink his wine
And he always had to modify wild

 

[Nuke99m.]

Half the Lyrics to Jethro Tulls" Locomotive Breath"
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath,
Runs the all, time loser,
Headlong to his death

He feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train it won't stop going

No way to slow down
He sees his children jumping off
At stations, one by one
His woman and his best friend

In bed and having fun
He's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle and

The train it won't stop going
No way to slow down
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall

And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
He picks up Gideons Bible
Open at page one

I think God He stole the handle and
The train won't stop going
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down

 

[CatCall]

Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche. Another runner in the night.

 

[larry the cable guy]

I always wondered how in 1987 Def Leppard knew about an Iphone.

Love is like a bomb baby come get it on.
Living like a lover with a red Iphone.

 

[starchief]

Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche. Another runner in the night.

Rotor rooter in the night.
