Oh come now...I would never sing the wrong lyrics! *Grin*
"Give me the Beach Boys and free my soul, I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away."
"Give me the BEAT boys..."
Yeah, I know now. Such shame!
Nearly everyone I've known, including myself, thought it was "four hundred children" instead of "four hungry children."
Um .. here's one:
"And I'll bring you jugs of water on my hips ..."
[And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips ...."] -- Patty Griffin
"There's a bathroom on the right"....actually: "There's a bad moon on the rise."
"Give me oil in my lamp. Keep it ernie, ernie, ernie. Give me oil in my lamp I pray"...actually: "Give me oil in my lamp. Keep it burnin burnin burnin. Give me oil in my lamp I pray."
Both of those were from when I was little. Gosh ain't it cute the things kids say/sing?
Here's one from when about 4 years ago....
"I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you The difference in a rock and an ant."...actually: "i watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference between Iraq and Iran."
-Alan Jackson, Where were you when the world stopped turning
I just kept thinking, "How much of a writer's block do you have to have to put a line like that in a song. To sing about not knowing the difference between a rock and an ant. I mean really!" Then one day it hit me. I know, i know. That's an awful mistake, but i'm telling you it sounds like he's saying rock and ant. Dang twang!

I LET YA BOOM BOOM DOWN....
For the record, I STILL have no clue what the true lyrics are, or what the song is about. Then again, does anybody?? Maybe it's best that I don't know....
"Layin' Earth Burn Side!"
"Leonard Bernstein!"
REM It's the End of the World as We Know It
"Stop in the neighborhood before you break my heart"
"Stop in the name of love before you break my heart"
...and I heard that song on KIDS Incorporated before I heard in from the Supremes.
KIDS Inc. -- now that's going back! When I was 10, I was in a doo-wop/swing stage. I could have sworn that they were singing "Hold tight, do a lot all day ..." but come to find out it was only "do-dat-do-day". But what can you expect from a song that has lyrics like
"Fododo de Yacka sacki"
Oh, Russ... wiping tears! That was so awesome! It took me like 30 full seconds of staring at the screen trying to figure out what the heck you were talking about, and then all of a sudden, I had a mental picture of Whitey Rapper with Stupid Glasses in silhouette singing "In-FO-ma!" Sweet.
Now that you've piqued my curiosity, I had to check it out, so according to lyricstyle.com, this is the chorus of that emotionally honest, touching ballad, er, I mean lame white rap:
Informer you no say daddy me Snow me I'll go blame
A licky boom boom down
Detective mon said daddy me Snow me stab someone down the lane
A licky Boom Boom Down.
Wow. That was WAY dumber than I thought it would be.
Thanks again for the laugh, man.
Heard "I want a new truck, one that won't make me sick" instead of "I want a new drug One that won't make me sick."--Huey Lewis and the News
hey little thing let me light your candle cause... i have no idea what he says
hey pretty thing let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm so hard to handle now Yes I am
-hard to handle by the black crowes
There's been an entire book written on misheard song lyrics called, "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" (named after the Hendrix lyric from "Purple Haze").
There was a man in the desert with gnats (naps) in his head. The sand that he walked was also his bed. The words that he spoke made the people assume there was (wasn't)too much left in the upper room. With scabs (skins) on his back and hair on his face, they thought he was crazed (strange) by the locusts he ate. You see the Pharisee stripped (Pharisee's tripped) when he (they) heard him speak until the king took the head of this Jesus freak.
Correct in ().
I haven't always thought very deeply while singing along. Maybe I should try that.

this might have fit under the last post but you got to check it out. they even mention the catholics
Ice, ice baby to go, to go...
It should be
Ice, ice baby too cold, too cold..
but hey, he said, "Let's get out of here." so I thought, "Ice, ice baby to go, to go.."
I've seriously debated people on this because I'm often wrong but never in doubt!

everyone NEEDS to check this out!
Kenny G with Earth Wind and Fire...
"I'd like to weigh your food..."
Oops.
"I like the way you move..."
...and I thought weighing food was much more catchy.
" I get no tongue but I get over it." ... "Kissin' the night away."
I get knocked down, but I get up again. ... Pissin' the night away (sorry for language, but that's the song). It's the song about drinking from the late 90's. I can't remember the name of it. They have an accent, so that is why it was hard to tell.
I just thought of a recent one I did - and got indigniant over..it's a song by Rob Thomas..
I thought he said, "Open up to me, I could do your girlfriends." and I was SO upset over this emotional bribery...
The words are actually - "Open up to me, like you do your girlfriends." opps, sorry Rob.
