Misheard Song Lyrics

[AndyWan Kenobi]

Hehe. Yeah, that line is really hard to figure out! I've noticed Elton doesn't usually enunciate very well. For instance, When I heard Clay Aiken's version of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me," it was the first time I could make out all the lyrics!

Well, maybe that's why they have lyrics in the CDs liner notes. It's fun, though, to just sing Elton's songs (or others') with the lyrics you think are right. Actually, for the longest time we were singing "Someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear" without realizing that we were actually right. We thought that had to be a misheard lyric, but it turns out it's legit!

Yeah, I used to sing "The Sound of Silence" and "The Boxer" with greatly skewed lyrics when we first got S and G's greatest hits when I was 8. And I insisted they were right, while my mom tried to correct me... Their own fault for not including the lyrics!

Well, if Simon and Garfunkel included the lyrics for "The Boxer," most of it would just be full of "lie lie lies," so how could you trust them?

In the last few weeks, my store has been pumping in a Christmas music feed over the PA and every time "Run Run Rudolph" comes on (is it Sheryl Crow's version?) I'm transfixed by the second line in the song (in this version, anyway):

"You bicka-bicka-bicka
So you bicka-bicka-freeway down."

Very moving.

My fiance used to think the Beatles song Ticket to Ride was Ticket to Raha because of how they drag out the word.
And there's a song with the line "Bring me a higher love" which for the life of me I thought was "Bake me a pie of love" until about a year ago.

 

[AndyWan Kenobi]

Ahh, a pie of love. That sounds delicious!!
