following on from the numpy getting the song lyrics wrong on another thread, I thought this might make you all smile ...misheard song lyrics from various sources....please feel free to add to the list;
The Beatle ;Ticket to Ride " OH ...She'e gotta ticket to ride" Misheard as " OH She's gotta chicken giraffe"
Eric Clapton.Lay Down Sally " Lay down sally " MH as " Lame brown salad"
Prince . Little Red Corvet " Little red corvet" MH "Living Co-Ed "
And this from one of our au pairs  Queen Bohemian Rhapsody " spare him his life for this monstrosity" MH as " spear him his knife on his long sausages" 
And MY favourite  Sting Englishman in New York "oh-h I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in new York" MH as " Oh-h I,m an alien, I'm a Lithuanian ,I've got big teeth I'm from Frankfurt"

My Dad did a corker back in the 60's. The song was "Fire Brigade" by The Move, the chorus was something along the lines of ...
"get the fire brigade, get the fire brigade..."
Dad's version.......
"eat a pie everyday, eat a pie everyday...."
He thought he was so cool as well in the 60's - hahahahahaha, not after that he wasn't. |

One song has always puzzled me, Whitney Hustons,"oh I wanna dance with somebody , I wanna left feet with somebody" perhaps someone knows the right words? as I am sure thats not what it is, but thats what it sounds like to me! must say I have had such a belly laugh since I got in and read these   |

and my Mum, well the song Rewind by Artful Doger. , instead 'of REwind, when the crowd say Bo Selecta',
my Mum used to sing...
'REwind, when the crowd say post a letter'. so embarrassing!!! |

Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights!!! Would love to know all of the words to this song, really can't understand the screechy voice. I have in my mind 'porcupine' at some point, think they should have been 'put it right'.
Go on - you know you all want to sing it!!!

Ha ha these have really made me laugh.
My sister Amy always gets lyrics wrong and is always asking me to correct her. One of my favourites was in a song with the line
"let the records spin"
which she had been singing (for ages)
" light your raptor skin"
I mean, what the hell is that all about????

Out on the wiley, windy moors Wed roll and fall in green. You had a temper like my jealousy: Too hot, too greedy. How could you leave me, When I needed to possess you? I hated you. I loved you, too.
Bad dreams in the night. They told me I was going to lose the fight, Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering Wuthering heights.
Heathcliff, its me--cathy. Come home. Im so cold! Let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, its me--cathy. Come home. Im so cold! Let me in-a-your window.
Ooh, it gets dark! it gets lonely, On the other side from you. I pine a lot. I find the lot Falls through without you. Im coming back, love. Cruel heathcliff, my one dream, My only master.
Too long I roam in the night. Im coming back to his side, to put it right. Im coming home to wuthering, wuthering, Wuthering heights,
Heathcliff, its me--cathy. Come home. Im so cold! Let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, its me--cathy. Come home. Im so cold! Let me in-a-your window.
Ooh! let me have it. Let me grab your soul away. Ooh! let me have it. Let me grab your soul away. You know its me--cathy!
Heathcliff, its me--cathy. Come home. Im so cold! Let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, its me--cathy. Come home. Im so cold! Let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, its me--cathy. Come home........
  no mention of a porcupine as you can see   |
