Thread: Mis-heard song lyrics

I wanted to start this thread to find out what other mis-heard lyrics people have had in the past. This is prompted after I today heard a song on the radio for the first time. I recognized Axl from Guns 'n' Roses singing. I just couldnt figure out why he'd be singing about the ninth grade.

The song was called "Nightrain".

Anyone else got any more good ones?

Hmmm...."There's a bathroom on the right" for "Bad Moon Rising"....one of my wife's favorites

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..."
