Misheard Lyrics
Today I heard someone in a shop singing:-

"The only one who could ever reach me
was the son of a pizza man...."

Any others people have (mis)heard?

Reminds me of that old Queen Bohemian Rhapsody spoof....

Courtesy of the PPRuNe archives....

Naan, just killed a man
poppadom against his head
Had lime pickle now he's dead.
Naan, dinner's just begun
But now I'm gonna crap it all away.
Naan, ooh, ooh Didn't mean to make you cry
Seen nothing yet just see the loo tomorrow
Curry on, curry on
Cause nothing really Madras.

ad infinitum.......

Somewhere there's a website (or many) listing famous misheard lyrics. Since the 1950s, they've been known as Mondegreens from a mishearing of

"The hae slain the Earl o' Murray
and laid him on the green"
as:
"They hae slain the Earl o' Murray,
And Lady Mondegreen".

My first was Hendrix "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy".

"There's a bad moon on the rise" as "there's a bathroom on the right". It's claimed that after hearing about it Fogerty would sometimes sing the alternate lyric on stage.

Madonna :

Last night I dreamed of some dago,
Just call me the island's sleaze
Louise the bone-eater

All in the same song, La Isla Bonita, written about the Island of La Palma, Canarias.

Louie, Louie
CHORUS:

Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go

Fine little girl waits for me
Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home

CHORUS

Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she's there
I smell the rose in her hair.

CHORUS

Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!

GUITAR SOLO

See Jamaica, the moon above
It won't be long, me see me love
Take her in my arms again
Tell her I'll never leave again

CHORUS

Let's take it on outa here now

Abba Super Trouper. been listening to it for 30 years- they definitely sing 'when I called you last night from Tescos'

Paul Young 'Everytime you go away, you take a piece of meat with you'

Madonna Papa Don't Preach 'Gonna eat my baby' (Guess she lost her appetite, or she's getting lots of African ones for a reason)

Do they do it on purpose?

In the late eighties, one of my friends thought the, at the time, very popular orchestra was called "Ketchup Boys". If you're old enough, you'll know which one I'm talking about.

kd lang 's 'Constant craving' always sounds like 'Can't stand gravy' to me

There is also a hymn containing the line 'A cast adown the proud' . To a 5yr old Koli, that always sounded like 'And custard down the proud'. It was one of lifes mysteries why any proud person should have custard poured over them.

PS. Rainboe - its 'Glasgow' not 'Tesco' - sorry.

I know someone who swore blind that the chorus of 'Invisible Touch' by Genesis contained the word 'podium'.
