Title: MIS-HEARD LYRICS
Post by: Greeny (No longer active) on June 16, 2009, 03:24:28 AM
Inspired by Launched's signature (We are spirits, put milk in my cereal bowl..... - The Police), I thought it would be fun to throw all your amusing mis-heard lyrics into a thread  :D

My personal fave:

Robert Palmer...

'Might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove...'  :D

I'm cracking up right now!! And my fave - other than the one you've already seen:

Jimi Hendrix:

Purple Haze

"Scuze me, while I kiss this guy"


Mr. Hendrix had actually sung these lyrics as a joke, but only because it was brought to his attention. There is a website that showcases this and other mis-heard lyrics - Sadly, I just can't remember the name of it.

What! You mean that's not the correct lyric? I always heard it that way too!  :D


I posted this in another thread back in April, but I'll repeat it here since it's more relevant to this topic:

My favourite lyric that I personally misheard for a long while is in the second verse of Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World". I always heard it as...

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dogs say "goodnight"
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.


I knew it made no sense but I couldn't imagine what else he could be singing. Then one day it finally clicked - "The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night"!  Doh!  :-[

But it sure sounds like "dogs say goodnight". Check it out (the verse starts at 0:32):

It's Manfred Man, and supposedly there is some debate over whether its mis-heard or mis-sung.  Springsteen, who originally wrote and performed the song has stated that he thinks they actually substituted douche for deuce to sell more records.

Was away with some people playing a Cold Chisel song with the lyric:

"loves me like a sister ... loves me like an only child"

I started listening to a girl singing ...

"loves me like a sea slug ... loves me like an only child.

She refused to believe she had the lyric wrong even when I pointed out the more sensible alternative to her version.

Actually, it's Mondegreen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen). It comes from the final line of the first stanza of the 17th-century ballad "The Bonny Earl O'Moray"...

        Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,
        Oh, where hae ye been?
        They hae slain the Earl O' Moray,
        And laid him on the green.


The last line was misheard as "And Lady Mondegreen".

"Summer breeze makes me feel fine blowing through the jasmine in my mind"

The winners decided that the loser does indeed have a chasm in his mind.



I always hear this one as "blowing through the jazz bone in my mind".

When I was a kid I thought "Heard It In a Love Song" by Marshall Tucker was "Perty(pretty) Little Love Song".

Every once in a while Shakira comes on my itunes shuffle. i keep hearing the phrase "fart face" in the verse (or chorus - cant remember which). It renders the song to ridiculous to enjoy - i am not a big Shakira fan, well i am, but at least not the music so much! But i thought i lwould ook on google... seems someone else thought the same...

The real line is:
"And if our fates have all been wrapped around your finger"
I hear:
"Any fart face have all been wrapped around your finger"

Another one from me I'm afraid...

Just listening to Iron Maidens "Number of the Beast" there's a line in there that sounds like "Just what i saw in my own dreams, were the reflections of my own Walkman staring back at me". Makes me chuckle as it makes no sense then, but funny all the same. I guess you need to be of the age to remember what "Walkmans" were - like todays  personal CD players (damn they are almost in the past now too!!!), but with cassette tapes instead!

Thanks!!

Ah, a great one...

Listening to Horslips "I'll Be Waiting" and thought i Heard the line "But I'm A Wanker!"

Looked it up and someone else heard the same...

Horslips', "I'll Be Waiting"
Misheard Lyrics:
But I'm a wanker
Could never say a line to save my life.
Original Lyrics:
But I'm no actor
Could never say a line to save my life.

Interestingly (possibly!), the same web page says... "Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song".
Title: Re: MIS-HEARD LYRICS
Post by: 64Guitars on August 24, 2015, 10:56:30 AM
I've just discovered a form of misheard lyrics called "Soramimi" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soramimi). It's interpreting lyrics in one language as similar-sounding lyrics in another language.

Apparently, there was a guy on YouTube called Buffalax who added English lyrics to foreign-language music videos. Unfortunately, his YouTube account was terminated because of copyright complaints. But lots of other people have done similar videos which they describe as Buffalax Style or Buffalaxed.

Here are some examples:


"No Butt Candy"
The original is by a South African singer named Kurt Darren. It's called "Af en af" and is sung in the Afrikaans language.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwWlVo-CmEQ


"That Scottish Bitch"
The original is by a Russian group called Zveri (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zveri). The song title is "Do skoroy vstrechi!" (http://www.russmus.net/song/8758#0).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOIG35MDuyk


Totally Gay
The original is "Yeh Dosti" from the 1975 Indian action-adventure film "Sholay" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sholay#Soundtrack). The language is Hindi.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpX1pWrprY8


O Fortuna (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Fortuna)
This one was posted earlier in this topic by Migs. But it fits the Soramimi definition and it's a beauty, so I thought I'd re-post it. The language is medieval Latin.

One time we spotted him protecting his newly coiffured hair-do on the football pitch with a hair net!!!  Anyway... we used to sing "Hello Hooray, Come Out To Play With ENA SHARPLES! ENA SHARPLES!" whenever he walked past... great fun  ;D

A very old song now, but I remember it in the day. But there is a bit in it that for the life of me sounds like she is singing "Take Your Pants Down... and Make it Happen". So looked up the real lyrics today and she is actually singing "Take Your Passion..."!!!
