Misheard Lyrics

[Hopkirk]

For a bit of fun, tell us what you hear(incorrectly) in song lyrics. We can then see if we recognise the song.

I'll start:

"The dogs say goodnight"

[Arksided]

I'll work on it I'm sure I've heard it myself as that ;-)

[maggiebee]

Old one: For years I heard "the way to board a train"

[Patsy33]

I always thought they were singing LSD, but last word should have said somethi g else!..:-))

[ToraToraTora]

remember.."I left my brains down in Africa! - Toto!

[Patsy33]

By the way, it was 1967 song come out by an American band..

[Arksided]

In 1971 it could have being LSD.

[Arksided]

Now I'm more convinced :-))

[Vagus]

Whooaa my feet are peeling

[Patsy33]

Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly
Groovin', on a Sunday afternoon

[Tuvok]

Don’t know the song but always heard

big as your coach is

[Tuvok]

[tiggerblue10]

The whole of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'.

The whole of 'Creep' (Radiohead).

[Arksided]

Tuvok...

[jno]

you're all wrong, it's I can see Deirdre now Lorraine has gone.

[Ken4155]

Lay across my big brown spade

I actually sang this for a few years every time i heard it, until a rather angry friend - a big fan of the singer - put me right.

[jno]

you can't trust a boy from Duluth, Ken. Hendrix got the joke and sometimes actually sang "kiss this guy" (allegedly).

[New Judge]

//My ears are a light.//

The Israelites - Desmond Dekker and the Aces.

Not a song, but my late mother-in-law referred to "Jurassic Park" as "Boracic Park". Presumably that's where all the hard-up dinosaurs lived!

[jno]

"I'm wearing plimsolls"

[jourdain2]

"My hope to follow Julie."
I spent years as a kid wondering which Julie?
Currently one of our churchwardens is 'Julie', but, alas, I worked out where I was going wrong.

[jno]

mine was "I'm turning Japanese, I'm wearing plimsolls"
