Thread: Mis-heard song lyrics

There are tons of misheard lyrics. One of my favorites:
Jimmy Hendrix, Purple Haze: Excuse me while I kiss this guy. Ummm... that's kiss the sky dude.

IF you're old enough to remember "Louie, Louie" by the Kingsman circa '64 there was a nation ..... perhaps worldwide controversy over the lyrics. You can read about it here. Good song BTW.

How about the Beatles....."The girl with colitis goes by"

The Beatles "I Am the Walrus" with "everybody smoke pot" was another one .

My ex-step daughters used to sing along with the radio but they memorized sounds as opposed to the actual lyrics. My favorite was the ACDC Dirty Deeds. The girls used to sing, "Dirty jeans dunder jeans" instead of Dirty deeds done dirt cheap.

Not to spoil people's fun, but... The Archive of Misheard Lyrics - KissThisGuy.com

Maybe that's the reason I remembered that particular Hendrix lyric

I didnt ask for an archive of everybodys misheard lyrics. I asked for YOUr guys' misheard lyrics.

Here's another of mine from when I was younger. The song is Paul Simon's 'Call me Al'

Correct version:

A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man....

My version:

A man walks down the street
The street is a strange world
Maybe it's a Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no current single
He is a foreign man...

My wife used to think that Juice Newton's Angel of the Morning had the line:

"Just brush my teeth before you leave me, baby..."

My best ones, sung wrong for ages:

Mr Mister

Kyrie Eleison
Down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison
Through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison
Where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie Eleison
On a highway in the light

I for the longest time sang it as "Carry a Laser"


Dirty Deeds was sung "Dirty Knees and the Jungle Chief"

the Bee Gees "More than a Woman" sung "Bald Headed Woman"

Manfred Mann Blinded by the light um yeah that was a great one!!!!!
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
sung as " wrapped up like a douche"
I don't know it made sense at that time duhhhhhh.....

And of course one of my favorites Nirvana "Smells like Teen Spirit"
which I still don't know the words to, but I sing as...

I don't know what all the words are.... I don't know what I am singing... I am singing really loudly.... I am singing so off key now ....I feel stupid Ohhhhhh so stupid....
And I know you won't believe it, but I was singing this before Weird Al did his almost the same way....


So there are some of my songs of shame !!!
