Wrong lyrics by mistake

[EngTeach]

To jump on Fuzzybee's question, what song lyrics have you thought you heard and have sung until someone corrected you? In the late 80's/early 90's there was the song "Groove is in the heart" and I always thought, though knew it made no sense, that it was "Roses in the Park".

There was a song out a while back called Monster, went something like "whats that coming over the hill, is it a Monster", for some reason I thought it said Boxer, until I was singing away one day and my nephew said to me "what did you just say, Boxer" I sat there with a big grin on my face and said "yeah" great song this isn't it. Then he said to me, I'll google the lyrics, the grin soon turned to a red face.

Bon Jovi - Bad Medicine...my cousin used to sing ''Your love it's like, magnficant'' instead of ''Your love it's like, bad medicine''. She got ribbed for that one!

I used to think Abba's Fernando was:

'They were shining down for you and me, for Lee, Betty
Fernandoooo'

(for LIBERTY!)

A classic that Noel Edmonds put into my head and it has stayed there ever since, is from Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody

'He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity'

'this monstrosity' sounds for all the world like 'his pork sausages'

[Sasha13]

Somewhere over the rainbow
Weigh a Pie

Or that's what I thought it was when I was little!

My wife is a classic for this:

Mustang Sally - she thought it was Must hang Sally and was very disappointed when it turned out to be a car.

Brimful of Asha on the 45 turned into You can't go swimming if you're over 45.

Pink had a song out called "Leave me alone (im lonley), and I used to think it said "You're old and lonley"!

I thought it was a bit of cruel song until I found out the correct title!

As a child I was obsessed with Calamity Jane and thought 'now I shout it, from the highest hills' was 'now I shallis, from the highest hills'. To this day my dad calls the film, 'Now I Shallis'.

Another massive mistake was Wuthering Heights, it wasn't just a word or a line I got completely wrong, it was the whole chorus! Instead of, 'Heathcliff, it's me your Cathy, I've come home, I'm so co-o-o-oold let me in at your windo-o-o-ow' I used to sing, 'Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home now, thought ho-o-o-ome could be anywhere, no-o-o-ooo'. It's ot even really similar!

[ermintrude35]

...in Start me Up by the rolling stones the line is " you make a grown man cry" and I always thought it said " you make the crow man cry"..... thought it was a song about a scare crow or summat...lol

What a feeling by Irene Cara - take your passion

these two i had minor arguments with the person because they wouldnot accept what i was saying - even though it was the name of the song!

my friend was singing flexic nuneral, instead of electric funeral (black sabbath) - even though its the name of the song and flexic and nuneral are not even real words! absolutely would not have it.

another guy was singing, ''shot down, in a bed of roses'' instead of ''...blaze of glory'', by bon jovi - again its the name of the song! ... but he would not have it.

Up until recently, i always thought that the 'Timewarp' was the 'timewalk!'
