In Finland we have even two books of misheard lyrics - are such in other countries? I laugh my eyes wet reading them. I try to memorize some English-language examples (I bring the best tomorrow)... "All I needed was to love you gay" ("...the love you gave"; Only You)

"Woke up this morning, bucked up and I leave me. Darling, cheesehead, I was yards to greasy. Ohhhh-ho, me ears are alight". "I think that's what he sings, but I need to hear it on a Maxwell." That was a German tv-ad for Maxwell tapes in the 80s. Let's see if you can guess the song.

One famous mishearing is in Manfred Mann's Earth Band's Blinded by the light, "ripped up like a douche" (misheard) >< "revved up like a deuce" (right words). This was talked about in Mann's interview: a detail that possibly helped the single (and Roaring Silence album) sell so well. Eh, my English is not good enough to understand either of them properly, what sort of naughtiness is there, can someone enlighten me? I found this text below in the net: http://www.izzlepfaff.com/blog/archives/000119.php - http://www.izzlepfaff.com/blog/archives/000119.php " I can't believe the biggest Mondegreen song of all time has not been mentioned. It was even a Skit on The State. The song? Blinded by the Light. Some variations: "Blinded by the light, held up like a luffe by the foreman of the night." The funny thing is, I had to go to a lyrics site to get the original: |

and how do you know they are the original lyrics? on the official homepage of Hawkwind there is a mistake about the lyrics of "High Rise". one line is given as "Caged up rage, swarming all the time", but Robert Calvert definitely sings "Caged up rage, swarming hornet hive" (Calvert had an obsession with insect swarms, especially hornets; they appear in many of his songs). -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

I remember that ad! This one was Desmond Dekker's Israelites. Weren't there some others too? My favourite misheard lyric is "Excuse me while I kiss this guy". There's also a line in a Coverdale-Page song which goes "pour your ocean over me" and it sounds just like "pour your horse sh*t over me". |

ppl often mistake sex pistols pretty vacant for sometihng like pretty bacon. anyway. progwise, Meshuggah's "Rational Gaze" (Track 2 on Nothing) 2nd verse says something like "our light induced, image of truth" but the first bit sounds more like "I LIKE JUICE!" it always makes me laugh cos its like the singer is shouting his prefered fluid out randomly in an extremely heavy metal song! Does anyone else hear this? The track is available on meshuggahs profile in these archives if you want to hear it. ------------- The Worthless Recluse

a good and most certainly intended one is on "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway": "Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade. he knows, in a scent, you can bottle all you made". "in a scent" sounds like "innocent". Caryl Chessman was convicted of being the "Red-light bandit" in 1948 and finally executed in 1960, although there were serious doubts about his guilt. he died in the gas chamber ("in a scent"). read about the Caryl Chessman case at these sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caryl_Chessman http://www.prisonsucks.com/carylchessman/ http://cwis.usc.edu/isd/archives/la/scandals/chessman.html ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

I have an Italian book of Pink Floyd's lyrics, it's really crammed with
mistakes. A funny one is from San Tropez: "making a date with Rita Pavone" (Rita Pavone is an Italian light pop singer, she was pretty famous here in the 60s and 70s) real lyrics: "making a date for later by phone" I swear I really heard Waters sing that line until I found a site with the correct words

Thanks, I may check 'em sometimes (never heard), but actually lyrics are not the reason whether I like some band/artist or not. If I don't like it musically, great lyrics don't help. I enjoy wordplay in general (done palindroms, anagrams, crosswords etc myself) but it's only a part in Gabriel's great lyrics. Posted By: Tiresias

VdGG, Lemmings: What cause is there left but to die? Misheard as: What causes a leppard to die? Another very commen mishearing is: "brick in the wall" as in "all in all you're just another brick in the wall" Misheard as "breaking the wall" without taken into consideration that in context it would make absolutely no sense.

Non prog but... The Rolling Stones song "Start Me Up" Real lyrics: My eyes dilate. What I thought I heard: My ass dilates There was a song on the radio a few years ago, never found out the real name of the song but it sounded like the chorus was : "I'm a giant appleseed/ I'm a giant appleseed/ I'm a giant appleseed" More in the prog area... The background vocals in Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers". I've heard several people give their interpretations of what they're singing. My favourite "She's so f---ing old". In fact, a friend thought that was the name of the song. Then there's the lyrics in "Roundabout". Imagine my surprise when I found out those were the real lyrics. ------------- "they locked up a man who wanted to rule the world. the fools they locked up the wrong man." - Leonard Cohen |

There are 2 that really stick in my head from when I was a kid. In Quiet Riot's Cum on Feel the Noize, me and my friends sat around the speakers for hours debating whether they said "Girls rock your boys" or "Girls F*&K your boys". We never did figure it out for sure. And this one is all me: for the longest time, I heard "no dogs or cats are in the classroom". I thought it was terrible that Pink Floyd wouldn't let kids bring their pets to school! Also, at the end of Queen's One Vision, I still swear that Freddie Mercury sings "Gimme gimme gimme...Fried Chicken" Love this thread!
