Re: Misheard lyrics....

...what's your favourite?

Was brought to this 'cause I was listening to The Shamen's excremental 'Ebeneezer Goode' and remembered that, despite being deeply immersed in acid house culture at the time I somehow failed to get the chorus. Made it marginally better when I got the subversion but it's still a shit record.

So, vaguely related (not really), what's that lyric that you initially misheard and part of you still clings to?

Obvious faves are Jimi's, "Excuse me while I kiss this guy". Or Robert Palmer's prophetic, "Might as well face it you're a dick with a glove".

Yours?

When I was younger and my family would go out for a drive, I was always requesting forced to listen to Bananarama's 'Love in the first Degree'.

Where as the proper lyrics are:

Only you can set me free
Cause I'm guilty
Guilty
Guilty as a girl can be

I thought it was

Only you can set me free
Cause I'm guilty
Guilty
Guilty as a cup of tea

I once heard a Chi-Town vocalist entreating me to love every corn. Admittedly I was out of my mind in a shed at the time but I hold her personally responsible for my dawn foray into the fields and eventual rendezvous with the Met.

Not a misheard lyric but on BeWitched 'C'est La Vie' I always laugh when they say the line 'I'll show you mine, if you show me yours'.

'Take me dancing naked with Lorraine'

Original lyrics:

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

What I use to think it said:

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from Barbra Streisand
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

Staying Alive, i used to sing

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm.
I've been kicked around since I was born.
And now it's all right, it's O.K.
And you make love the other way

and it is ... and you may look the other way
