Singing the Wrong Words.

[19Charger68]

One of my friends in the office was telling me that he and his friend were listening to and old Sonny & Cher song, Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves and his friend asks "What the hell is a Trampanzie?".  It started me thinking about all of the songs I thought I knew the words to and found out later I was totally screwed up.  I used to think the song Live for Today said Limbo Today!  Any of you have some that you later found out were wrong and got a good laugh out of?

I can literally recite over a 50,000 songs when they come on the radio, but I will mess up at least once in the song. It's one of the few no budget talents that I posses.  

Two songs I can do without a mistake everytime are:
Rapper's Delight (Sugar Hill) and Sucker MC's by Run DMC.

My T.V. theme talent is also second to none. Not sure I should be boasting that, but.

In AC/DC's song Back in Black I can hear him scream out "Chili Dog"  towards the end!

There is some word for that, mondegrene or something.  All I know is "it's my party and I'll cry if I want to"  seemed to be "it's my body and I'll cry if I want to."  And it's getting truer and truer every day.  Kim

I knew a girl who thought it went, "Hold me close I'm tired of dancing."

whats that song that goes " Rock the Cas Bar.... .Rock the Cass Bar" ?  A guy i used to work with would swear up and down that they were saying " Rock your ass off".

My brother was convinced that the heart of Rock and roll was in Sweden.

How about "Highway to hell"?. The 'official' lyrics are "Season ticket on a one way ride", but it sounds like "she's a ni**er on a one way ride"

Rock the Casbah - The Clash     I always like that song, I have the 12" remix. It's one of very few music videos I watched too, the one where the Jew & the Arab drove around in the Caddy ragtop.

Here is another.  When my wife was a little girl, at Christmas she used to sing - Jolly Old St. Nicholas, Clean your ear this way!

[Johnny SixPack]

When a friend of mine was a kid, he used to think that the lyrics to CCR's, "Bad Moon Rising", weren't, 'there's a bad moon on the rise', but were instead, 'there's a bathroom on the right'.

Ever since he told me that I almost always sing it his way instead.
