This thread is for you to post song lyrics that you've misheard.
Remember that CPF is a family forum, so please keep it clean.

Manfred Mann's, "Blinded By The Light"
Misheard lyrics:
Blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a douche into the middle of the night.


Original lyrics:
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.

I guess I misheard that one twice, then! I've always thought that the original lyrics were:
"Swept up like a deuce, another roller in the night."

I thought it pertained to a playing a game of cards where deuces are wild.



When I was a kid, I always thought the song "Our Lips Are Sealed" (I think that's what it's called), by the GoGos, said: "honest to steal." (instead of "our lips are sealed")

search for "sugar we're going down" by fallout boy on you tube, go to the flash cartoon one, luleeleruh is now my favourite word :crackup:

I heard We're going downtown in a luleeluruh,the rest was probably the cartoon designer's over active imagination.

It's supposed to be we're going down, down in an earlier round :ohgeez:

For those who don't go back far enough, a "deuce" was a '32 Ford, usually roadster, and "modded." ("hot rod')

right behind you. LOOK!
I have a niece who as a 3 years old commenced to singing the Eagles tune "Take it to the Limit" while riding in a shopping cart in K-Mart.
The line was supposed to say:
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign...

Her version was
***** on the Highway
Sho 'nuf has died

true story!

My dad would tell me a story of a radio station in Chicago that would call up courtroom stenographers and play them Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac songs and see if they could figure out what that drugged out hag was sayinkg. They'd be about 50% accurate.

We laughed when you died
You sit in your grave
Just waiting to turn
To a saxon slave


Original lyrics:
We laughed when you died
You sit in your grave
Just waiting to turn
Into Satan's slave

In the early nineties, when I was in high school, a buddy of mine dated a girl that was notorious for singing the wrong lyrics. The two that come to mind are:

wrong: Soup and Salad blonde (INXS)
right: Suicide Blonde


wrong: skid and go to Heaven
right: it's gettin' kinda hectic (C&C Music Factory, maybe?)

Fifteen years later and we're still laughing about it.:laughing:

P.S. The girl was a blonde.

Walk and Don't Look Back: (I don't know who did it originally, but Mick Jagger sounded like he was singing

"I've walked for miles, my eggs are hurtin' .. " OK probably he meant "legs" -- but "eggs" is something he might have said isn't it?

I know mine do.

(maybe he said "L' Eggs" during a more glam performance?)

A couple in a churchy vein, as understood by a 5 year old.

Gladly the cross-eyed bear./Gladly, the cross I'd bear.

Come, come, ye Saints, no toilet paper here.../ Come, come ye Saints, no toil or labor fear...
