Game: Guess the Song from the Mis-Heard Lyrics (mondegreens)

[bertha katzenengel]

If I posted "There's a baboon on the right," you'd say that the song is Bad Moon Rising.

If I posted "It's hard to find nice things on a four-sided cow," you'd say that the song is Poor Side of Town.

Post your mis-heard or twisted lyrics (also known as mondegreens) and see if someone can guess the song.

[Greyskye]

1. Excuse me while I kiss this guy.

An entry level one to start off with. I think EVERYONE knows this...

[bertha katzenengel]

2. Thanks! Entry level, indeed!

Maybe some of the youngsters don't know it.

[DarkTirade]

16. Hey, just 'cause Jimi was before our time that doesn't mean we can't have been exposed to good music

:)

[Phillycat]

3. Big ole Jed had a light on.

[Sugar Smack]

6. HAH! I was 35 before I knew it was

"Big old Jed hair a light-up" *pounds chest*

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. Sodomy and so into you. nt

[DarkTirade]

17. I always thought it was 'Sodomy is such a part of you'

:P

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. We're going down, down, is anyone around...

and sugar we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one in a minute...
A loaded gun cop
let's cock it and pull it.

Don't tell BabyG that he's wrong about this one.

[KamaAina]

7. I was born in a Class Five hurricane

no, really, turns out that's not it. :shrug:

[bertha katzenengel]

9. I always thought it was crossfire hurricane.

That's probably wrong, too. I don't know the Stones too well.

[KamaAina]

10. It is.

"Jumpin' Jack Flash", of course.

Thinking it was the real thing, I once posted the mondegreen on a Keith Richards message board, hoping to somehow entice the known New Orleans fanatic into some Brad Pitt-style recovery efforts. So much for that brilliant plan... :eyes:

8. The girl with colitis goes by

[Richardo]

12. !!

:rofl:

That's a new one on me. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"

[WritingIsMyReligion]

13. "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds."

Supposed to be "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes."

That's my guess.

:patriot:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. That would be ecstasy: you and me and Leslie...

:7

[likesmountains 52]

14. Groovin!

[Gormy Cuss]

15. Wake to discover that you are despised by the world.

No, it's not the W theme song.


*actually, the mondegreen for this lyric is "wake to discover that you are disguised as a girl."

[WritingIsMyReligion]

19. Awesome song..."Eyes of the World" (the 'Dead).

:D

20. Mutiny Where have you gone?

[LibraLiz1973]

21. Here is my all time, whoops I heard THAT wrong, lyric.

My mom STILL makes fun of me for this.


Journey's "Any Way You Want It"

I heard:

She loves to move
She loves to groove
She loves eleven things


I used to sit there and try and figure out what the eleven things were.
1. Moving 2. Grooving 3. Laugh 4. Sing 5. Everything
But that was all I could count in the song that she loved. So I went to my mom (I was like 7)
and said, what are the 11 things?

She laughed so hard, she almost puked.

[LibraLiz1973]

23. I also thought ELO's "Evil Woman" was "Midevil Woman"

In fact, to this very day, I am not sure that it ISN'T.

22. The business man he drink my wine and take my herb......
