Misheard Lyrics

[Deleted]

That piece of crap Rob Thomas song: it sounds like he's singing, "Quaker state, wide awake, this is how a heart breaks!" I don't have the inclination to care what the actual lyric is.

There is this song called, When Smokey Sings by ABC. I know that's the title only because the DJ said so after the song. I then looked it up because I had to know the lyrics. It's kind of a bland song really but I thought it was called. "When Smoke Gets In." There really is only one line I paid attention to and I thought is was: "When Smoke Get's in, I get violent". Turns out the line really is "When Smokey sings - I hear violins". I really liked it my way better.

I really liked it my way better.

Me Too!

Deep Purple at L8 reminded me of a friend who thought "Smoke on the Water" was

Slow talkin' Walter, the fire engine guy.

For some reason this cracked me up.

I was listening to the radio and J.lo's "My Love Don't Cost a Thing" and I thought the lyrics were "You think you gotta keep my ass." Imagine my disappoinment when I found out it's, "You think you gotta keep me iced".

Didn't check on previous pages, but has anyone mentioned this award-winning (in GOLDMINE) misheard lyric from "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"--?

"The girl with colitis goes by."

Still cracks me up...and now I always hear it that way!

[hobocamp]

Yeah, there's a woman with colitis in my office, and every time she walks past my desk, I get that song in my head.

You know that Bangles song "Manic Monday"? Loved it for as long as I can remember, and I also loved the line "That I have to be the bottle for some poor mustelle". I know that doesn't make any sense, but I came across the real lyrics yesterday, and the line is actually:

That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down

What the hell is a mustelle?

[Deleted]

mustelle n. (Fr. mustelle) A sweet dessert wine, considered a step down from muscatel. Can also be used, in diluted form, as a cleaner for hardwood floors.

Ah. I thought it might be a small, female version of Dave Mustaine.
