Favorite misheard song lyric?

[Bossy Monkey]

I gotta run with "I'm not talkin' about the linen." And you? Come forth, "there's a bathroom on the right" lovers!

[SiobhanClancy]

1. "Scuse me while I kiss this guy"

Jimi Hendrix....Purple Haze

[calico1]

22. "Bald headed woman"

(More than a woman). And of course "bathroom on the right." For a long time I could not figure out the significance of giving bathroom directions in a song. "Bald headed woman" was a translation a few people I knew at the time thought was right. One girl used to sing it like that out loud too.

[WeRQ4U]

2. Big ol' Jed had a light on.

I think some comedian pointed that one out.

[Taverner]

43. "You can't give a mannequin a subway line"

Everybody Wants Some by Van Halen - the real line is you can't get a medic on a subway line.

[philosophie_en_rose]

3. Secret Asian Man...

Johnny Rivers should enunciate.

[Rambis]

24. unfortunately that goof mike North of Chicago did that song

Please don't buy anything from that clown he is a winger big time and has no idea what he is talking about with politics.
He had Dick Durbin on last week and tried to get him to admit the scandal involved Dems as well as Pugs and Durbin said...
"The major players are Republicans, this goes to the top of the republican party brass and the administration"
to bad Mikey!

[myrna minx]

4. I had an acquaintance who, when she heard the term 'making ends meet'

she thought "ends meat" was the crusty sides of meatloaf. So when she heard the Roxette song:
"She's dangerous, she knows how to make ends meet" she couldn't figure out how knowing how to make meatloaf made a woman dangerous. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[anarch]

5. "Thirty thieves and the Thunder Chief"

[swimboy]

6. The girl with colitis goes by

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

[AlCzervik]

7. "Because it's my destiny to be the King of Spain"

Had to look up the lyrics on the internet before I realized that they were saying "deuce".

[TheProphetess]

35. You beat me to it!

My sister and I still sing loudly the word we think it really is...:)

[Jamastiene]

45. Yeah, I always heard that one as

wrapped up like a douche in the night. I couldn't figure out why anyone would wrap a douche though. Christmas present? :shrug:

[Scout]

57. "warm smell of co-i-tus, rising up through the air..."

actually is "colitas", a desert plant/flower

thanks to the DUer who pointed this out to me on an old thread like this one!

ETA
sorry, meant to reply to the OP!

[Scout]

58. neither word makes sense to me in that song....

wrapped up like a douche, wrapped up like a deuce

what does it mean?

[SharonRB]

11. I used to think it was

"I'm not talking 'bout millenium." Made no sense to me until I figured out the real words.

My daughter used to think "take your passion" was "take your pants off" when she was little. We used to crack up over it. Now I have "Flashdance" as my ringtone when she calls my cell.

[Common Sense Party]

54. What is it? I always thought it WAS "millenia" n/t

[SharonRB]

61. I think it's

I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in.

[BrotherBuzz]

12. CCR - Bad Moon Rising

Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bathroom on the right.

I suspect it was a combination a crappy AM car radio, a bum muffler, and the leaky exhaust manifold that allowed fumes to enter through the firewall that contributed to the confusion. Smoking pot had nothing to do with it, so stop saying that!

[AllegroRondo]

13. I wanna rock and roll all night

and part of every day!

[Shell Beau]

14. My uncle thought

"rollercoaster of love" said "lemon custard is good" back when it first came out :crazy:

[Squatch]

[Bossy Monkey]

26. What is that? It isn't ringing a bell, and Google isn't helping

Very funny though regardless!

[peekaloo]

17. MEALWORMS

My love
I'll never find the words, my love
To show you how I feel, my love
Mealworms could not express

Precious love....

I am probably the only person on earth who got the word "mealworms" out of that phrase :rofl:

[kmla]

18. The Rascals - "Groovin" - 'You and me, and Leslie...'

Although that thought is appealing, '..You and me, endlessly...' is the correct lyric.

[auburngrad82]

20. "Gladly, the Cross-eyed Bear"

Stolen from Billy Connolly.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. Oh we like sheep!

(that) have gone astray...

Because they're so cute and fluffy, I s'pose.

[kwassa]

32. I thought it was "Are we like sheep?"

as we are herded around at the National Philharmonic.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. LOL!

Do you know new_beawr, by any chance?

I didn't play on that concert. In fact, I didn't play a single Messiah gig this season!

[kwassa]

34. No Messiah? That's hard to do in this town.

The Messiah is everywhere.

We even participated in a horrible one at the Landon School. Won't do that again!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

37. Not the Landon Symphonette?

I've been asked to play that gig a number of times, but I was either unavailable or not that desperate to earn next to nothing.

What's the scoop?

[kwassa]

46. It is a mixture of local high school students and adult ringers

More than half adults, total performers about 150 including orchestra and chorale, total audience about 110. They do part one and a couple choruses from part two, including the Halleluah Chorus. The tempo was excruciatingly slow, many of the adult singers didn't sing well or know the piece well. Shaky risers, tiny hall, etc. It is for the parents of the kids.

We just had such fun doing the Messiah the National Symphony Chorale and Orchestra at Strathmore. Of course, we've been totally spoiled, now.

Another song lyric destroyed:
"Shirley, Shirley, she has worn our briefs ......."

[shawmut]

23. 400 children and a crop in the field

42. This one almost killed me once.

"I asked her what she wanted and this is what she had to say. I wanna pearl NECK DRESS, a pearl NECK DRESS" :rofl:

I was on acid and my bud was singin' the song with those lyrics. I had to actually ask him what he was singing. He looked at me so serious, and said "ain't he aying she wanted a pearl neck dress"? I laughed so hard and long i pulled abdominal muscles, or busted a gut literally lol!
