Misheard Song Lyrics

[AndyWan Kenobi]

LOL! Well, getting lost in the Beach Boys' rock and roll doesn't sound so bad...
Erin

Only if you can find your way back out again. Trust me on this... I was trapped inside "Sloop John B" for three years--that was the worst trip I've ever been on!

I'm not sure if this is better suited to this thread or the Christmas one, but does anybody know what the line in "A Baby Just Like You" about "colors dark and candles dim and dark my standing under" means? I've never quite gotten that line...

[Drtooth]

Come to think of it... It almost sounds like one christmas song could go..

He's the man with all the toes...

 

[Gelfling Girl]

*cleans off dust* Ooh...This seems like an interesting thread.

Well, here's one minor misheard lyric I just noticed a short while back. First off, the real lyrics to half the chorus of Bowling for Soup's "Girl All the Bad Guys Want":

It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.

And now what I heard:

It's like a bad movie.
She's lookin' groovy....

 

[Super Scooter]

Original lyrics:

Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.

My misheard lyrics:

Rolled up like a d*****, another roller in the night.

 

[Drtooth]

Original lyrics:

Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.

My misheard lyrics:

Rolled up like a d*****, another roller in the night.

The entire song sounds slurred and mushy to me.

She gave my hand a squirrley wurley? What the heck is that?

I actually had to look up the lyrics to "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay, which I thought were:

I hear chairs an' some bells are ringing
Roman Catholic spires are singing
Feed on mayo and swordfish ee-oh
Michelin reason lives in a field

Actually:

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing,
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field.

Mine are better.

My favorite misunderstood song lyric of all time is Elton John's "Tiny Dancer"...

Hold me closer, Tony Danza...
