Misheard Song Lyrics

[^JP^]

Nine Inch Nails - Everyday Is Exactly The Same

"I think I used to have a porpoise."

 

[Kosmiche]

Do you mean Manfred Manns Earthband?
Song written by Bruce Springsteen?

Good site here - http://www.amiright.com/misheard/artist/

umm, yup.

That's odd...why do I think it's by Elton John?

 

[Fire_fly]

REM - Sitting Still

"This may work out we all agree"

Should be

"This name I got we all were green"

 

[Skunkworks]

Funny enough I watched this just a couple of days ago:

 

[andy_mk3]

Adele - Set Fire to the Rain
Genuinely thought she was singing ""set fire to Lorraine"

ABBA- Chiquitita
Chicken tikka tell me what's wrong

 

[Bubo]

Look what they've done to Mike Reid

 

[McDaniel]

I genuinely though Papa don't preach was "poppadom creek"

 

[4T5]

Found it Why does she keep singing Anna Friel ?

 

[Goates]

It hasn't been posted because it contains swearing.

Suprised this hasn't been posted earlier

 

[_dogma_]

Adele - Set Fire to the Rain
Genuinely thought she was singing ""set fire to Lorraine"

Lol, people actually sing this to me at work because of that mishearing!

Nelly Furtado (sp?) Mandated. Convinced it says "like an elephant" in the chorusy bit.

Coldplay "feel the fear in my enemies ass"

 

[oweneades]

I think the best one is Nightwish - wishmaster.

The whole song is misheard lol.

Indeed, "The Fish Master"

Quite annoying as otherwise I love the song, well Nightwish with Tarja, well Tarja actually but heh

 

[Yaayuh!]

The Police

Sue lawley!
Sue lawley!
Sue lawley!

Was just about to post this in here. It's a good'n

 

[Yaayuh!]

Everything Everything - Suffragette Suffragette(?)

Should be:
Cause you're gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone
Cause you're gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there

But i hear:
So who's gonna sit on your face when I'm gone
So who's gonna sit on your face when I'm not there.


lol

 

[Skunkworks]

I remember my friend's 7 year old son singing along to Prodigy:

Change my picture
Smack my picture

 

[Aeleys]

Listed to this years ago, never able to listen to that again with the right lyrics.

It is hard to not hear it like that lol!

Indeed, "The Fish Master"

Quite annoying as otherwise I love the song, well Nightwish with Tarja, well Tarja actually but heh

Too bad she turned out to be a bitch otherwise though fantastic voice among other things

 

[this_is_gav]

REM - Sitting Still

"This may work out we all agree"

Should be

"This name I got we all were green"

To be fair Stipe himself had to look up the lyrics for their early 80s songs for their four nights at the Olympia in 2007 - "this is not a show".

Bugger, that's quite a thread bump. Oops.

 

[StevieP]

Inner City: "We're Having Big Fun" always sounded to me when I was a kid like it was "We're Having Meatballs"

 

[Greboth]

One got pointed out to me many years go, is Sliptknot - People = ****, the chorus line is the same as the title but sounds like "People eat whore ****". Annoyingly ever since that got pointed out to me I can't not hear it

 

[JonnyT]

Bit obscure, but a highly regarded Manics B-Side "Prologue to History" which talks about Shaun Ryder, Steve Ovett and Richey amongst others.

Actual: "He's gone, I'm no deserter"
Heard: "He's gone, a naughty sex shop"



Others:

Place Your Hands by Reef - "Paul Rideout" (ex-Everton player) instead of "Alrightnow"
Golden Brown by the Stranglers - "In my Mike Sherons" (ex Man City striker) instead of "In my minds she runs"

 

[aardvark]

Elton John - "Lift up like a douche another runner in the night"

its manfred mann but yeah, thats what i hear whenever the song comes on the radio.
