Music Misheard lyrics

[marukomu]

Sometimes I hear a song and hear a name or something in it. It's not the actual lyrics but it then sticks with you. For example...


At the beginning, I hear the name of a Dutch defender that played for us. We seem to have traded him for a player called Resonate.


Sounds like Norman Wisdom at the beginning.

 

[marukomu]

It's Deirdre Langton

 

[Solius]

I just remembered that when I was younger I thought in the Faithless song 'Mass Destruction' that he was saying Ray Cism is a weapon of mass destruction, possibly because of the cadence he says it in

Like I genuinely thought he was talking about a man named Ray Cism. It only clicked with me a few years later. Baffles me to this day.

alternative ulster - are you ready for lobster

Hold me closer Tony Danza still cracks me up when I think of it. In the context of the rest of the song its excellent. Like Elton just decided to release the most specific love song ever.

Tony Danza - Elton John

Players - Slum Village - Well this isn't misheard but the original sample is "Claire" which Dilla distorted to make it sound like "players".

 

[The Original]

Slightly unrelated but in My Eyes by Travis, everyone says "it's a sin where birds of a feather land on you"
But I'm convinced it's "it's a scene where birds of a feather land anew"

 

[Samid]

0:56 she says "got a long list of starbucks lovers"

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

When I was a kid, the song "Here comes the hotstepper" I used to hear the line "I'm the lyrical gangster" as "I'm the really cool gangster". Perhaps too young to have the word 'lyrical' in my vocabulary at that point.

 

[Organic Potatoes]

I thought Maru was back. Rude.

 

[markhughes]

Always makes me think of this...

 

[WakeAndBeek]

“Horses don’t stop they keep going”

...it’s actually HUSTLERS

 

[Bubz27]

A classic.

 

[Abizzz]

A classic.

I have tears in my eyes

 

[horsechoker]

A classic.

Never would've made that connection in a million years.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

A classic.

’I’ll lick your boom boom now’ was very confusing as a young child. I still don’t know what he‘s saying; guy has had an interesting life and career.

"Many miles of railroad track", but I heard "Minnie Mouse, a real tramp!"

Manics - You stole the spunk from my ass

Paul Weller - I`m the changing man , going to shit my pants.

 

[Port Vale Devil]

Calling Cheryl Baker

 

[Riz]

Opening line: “It’s too hard to sleep, I’ve got the shits - on the floor, but nothing on me.”

 

[fergosaurus]

There was some eejit in a signing contest who thought the lyrics were 'Ken Lee' rather than 'can't live' in the chorus of Mariah Carey's Without You.

I used to think 'Golazo' was 'Go Lazio' in the Football Italia intro.

 

[WeePat]

A classic.

ffs

I paused it, determined to guess what the feck he was requesting. Gave up after 5 minutes.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I have just discovered the Blink 182 lyric for What's my Age Again isn't "I walk alone, to get the feeling right"...

My whole life is a lie.

 

[Vidyoyo]

My whole life is a lie.

I can only imagine what you thought it said

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I can only imagine what you thought it said

No that's what I thought it said!

The actual lyric is "I wore cologne..."

 

[Red Stone]

I can feel you coming, coming in my hair tonight - Phil Collins.

 

[Redlambs]

Son, cheesehead, have I got a little story for you!

 

[King Eric 7]

Once you hear Alf Garnett in that Destiny's Child song you can't unhear it.

 

[2 man midfield]

Ohh I’m gonna take my horse to my hotel room

 

[KirkDuyt]

I got my first real sex dream,
Bought it at the five and diiiime,


Never made any sense to me.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

I often mishear lyrics as something more profound and am frequently let down by the banality of the actual lyric.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Once you hear Alf Garnett in that Destiny's Child song you can't unhear it.

I depend on meat

 

[horsechoker]

I got my first real sex dream,
Bought it at the five and diiiime,


Never made any sense to me.

I'm not even sure how you heard that

Unless we're speaking about different songs.

 

[hellhunter]

Yeah that's what I'm hearing as well

 

[KirkDuyt]

I got my first real six (sex) string (dream). Not that different. Not my fault what's his face has such a weird accent.

Bryan Adams, that's the one.

This is super dodgy stuff, but I always hear 'cook cook the jew' in Mrs Robinson
