Misheard song lyrics

Beatles: Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a woman...

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Monkees - I'm a Believer: "Then I saw her face. Now I'm gonna leave her.."
GC

Beatles: Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a woman...

Oh.
You mean, those are not the lyrics....? <goes off to google>

When I was a child I thought it was "We three kings of orry and tar" - I mean, who knows what I thought orry and tar was, but I probably didn't know what "orient" meant either...

 

[Over The Hill]

Queen - Kind of Magic.

I always thought it was "dawn on Saturday"

The bell that rings inside your mind,
It's a challenging the doors of time,
It's a kind of magic,
The waiting seems eternity,
The day will dawn of sanity,

Do they actually sing "Fried Chicken" at the end of One Vision?

[EltonFrog]

Back in the olden days of cheap cassette players I used to think that Elton John's Crocodile Rock went...

Long nights crying by the record machine
dreaming of my Chevy and my aubergines

 

[raleighnut]

Kicking the dancing queen

 

[Mark1978]

Theres some classics on rathergood.com

http://www.rathergood.com/Rathergood_Stuff/lyrics/

Madonnas Erotic - "Bill oddie, bill oddie, put your hands all over my body"
Destinys Child - "The shoes on my feet, Alf Garnet, the watch im wearing, Alf Garnet...... but i depend on meat"

And my personal favourites

Simply Red - Bunny's too tight to mention (which comes with a rather amusing animation on rathergood.com)
and the Beatles "She's got a chicken to ride and she dont care... my baby donkey".

Do they actually sing "Fried Chicken" at the end of One Vision?

They do indeed.

On another note, Scissor Sisters getting all environmental: I don't feel like dancing while the ozone layer depletes...

 

[Dan B]

Jimi Hendrix – Purple Haze "Excuse me while I kiss this guy"

There's a web site named after that one - http://kissthisguy.com/

 

[Dan B]

Even knowing what it's supposed to say, I still can't help hearing the line in the Kinks "You really got me" as "You're Idi Amin"

 

[ClaireSaud]

Oh.
You mean, those are not the lyrics....? <goes off to google>

Phew!! I've thought for years that those were the lyrics. Didn't have the guts to ask if there were not the lyrics

 

[swee'pea99]

The most well known has to be Paul McCartney's "Mull of Kintyre" which sounds like "rollicking tyre".

Surely that pride of place must go to Desmond Dekker & The Aces' 'me ears are alight'.

(For years, my Dad told me, his favourite hymn at church was the one about Gladly, the cross-eyed bear.)

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Do they actually sing "Fried Chicken" at the end of One Vision?

I hope so as that is what I sing.

When I was a child I thought it was "We three kings of orry and tar" - I mean, who knows what I thought orry and tar was, but I probably didn't know what "orient" meant either...

"We three Kings of Orient are, one on a bus and one in a car, one on a scooter blowing the hooter coming from yonder far"

We knew they were the wrong words, but they were the only ones we would sing.
