Prefab sprout - the king of rock n roll:
"Hot dog, jumping frog, have a cookie"

A work colleague (former) used to sing this the same way too. Drove me nuts!

Madonna song, don't know what it's called I think part of the lyric was "eyes like the desert'. I always hear 'eyes like potatoes' and 'chocolate ghoulie island police'!

And..... 'New York, got to get some new potatoes'.

And not strictly mis-heard more a deliberate change, I always sing 'tit fest at Bethany's' instead of 'breakfast at Tiffany's'.

[Johnnytheboy]

'Kids wanna rock' off the Bryan Adams 'Reckless' album features the line:

Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles

My brother asked me one day why he was singing:

My potatoes were down for a couple of miles

Also, is anyone familiar with the excellent Ian Dury song 'there ain't half been some clever bds' in which when Ian Dury sings the chorus line, the backing singers are going 'lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders'?

A friend of mine, for no reason I can fathom, thought they were saying 'ugly penis, ugly penis'.

Mine was Gala (I think!) - Freed From Desire.

The line 'My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs'

I heard 'My love has got no money, he's got his trampoline'

Think I'd rather have a trampoline anyway

Tom Jones in 'The Green Grass of Home' always seemed to be singing "her golden lips like cherries", which really baffled me as a child.

I can distinctly remember a pub in Bournemouth in 1980 with the local band taking the mick out of that song. I can't remember it all, but the "...tits like cherries..." re-write always stuck with me - ah, to be an innocent teenager again!!!

Have we had the Whitney classic yet?

I'm shaving off my muff for you...

[TheEnd]

The Kooks - Naive

"I know she knows I'm not fond of asking"-

comes out as

"I know she knows I'm not from New Oscott."

I suppose you need to know of New Oscott in Birmingham though.

Yes, but we're not interested in your personal life, this is bout mis-heard lyrics.


I guess that it's only a few of us that are ancient enough to remember "No Lemons" and his show on the wireless that used to a) do that equivalent of Candid Camera on the radio like ringing up migrant Aussies and suggesting they go Haggis-Hunting in Scotland etc, and b) used to regularly do the mis-heard lyrics ("My Ears Are Alight" was probably the No1 and was mentioned early-doors on this very thread)...


Anyways, back on topic...



'Scuse me...... while I kiss THIS GUY .......

It's weird how many of these seem to be in Bohemian Rhapsody.

My own from childhood is warm sausages instead of, I believe War Atrocities.

Spare him his life for these pork sausages - I think it was monstrosoties...............

double bonus, the same lyric heard incorrectly in a different way. Seems that's just about the most misheard song ever based on this thread.

[knotweed]

I had to look up the lyrics to this one because to me it sounds just like:

"All the other kids with the fold up kitchens better run nd run, outrun my duck
All the other kids with the fold up kitchens better run and run, faster than my pony"

Turns out it's pumped up kicks ...

[Nick M]

There used to be a Radio 1 DJ who would broadcast peoples' misheard lyrics, and the two which always spring to mind and raise a chuckle when I hear the songs are:

- "Mike Read just crawled on the dance floor to join in the masquerade" from Thriller

and

- "Ooooh-oooh, my ears are alight" from The Israelites

2 mins 50 secs into the song. Pretty certain he is saying "confused about Howard Webb"
Howard Webb is this guy. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2...

There isn't much in "She Moves In Her Own Way" that's understandable until you read the lyrics, they must have recorded it on the way back from the pub.

"To these tiresome paper jeans,
Paper jeans, honey
I don't verdigris, she moves in her own way"
