We've all experienced singing along to a song only to be corrected by someone else as to the *actual* lyrics. Oopsie!! As embarrassing as it is...here are a few of my "innocent" misunderstandings. (thanks to my "bud" who gave me the idea for this blog *winks*)
1) Tiny Dancer by Elton John: actual lyric - "Hold me close now Tiny Dancer. (my version - "Hold me close now Tony Danza")
2) Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard: actual lyric - "You got the peaches, I got the cream." (my version - "You got the bitches, I got the weed")
3) Say, Say, Say by Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney: actual lyric - "Say, Say, Say, what you want. But don't leave me w/no direction" (my version - "Say, Say, Say what you want. But don't leave me with no erection.")
4) Benny & the Jets by Elton John: actual lyric - "She's got electric boots, and mohair suit (My version - "She's got electric boobs, and no hair, too")
5) Losing My Religion by REM: actual lyric - "That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight..." (my version: "That's pee in the corner, that's pee in the spotlight...")
6) Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye: actual lyric - "I can't wait for you to operate." (my version - "I can't wait for you to ovulate.")
7) Get Back by the Beatles: actual lyric - "Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner." (my version - "Jo Jo was a man before he was a woman.")
8) Suffragate City by David Bowie: actual lyric - "This mellow-thighed chick just put my spine out of place." (my version - "This smelly fat chick just put a smile on my face.")
**** Wow, I am LAME!!****

lol I have issues with the lyrics to Tiny Dancer ("lay me down in beds of lettuce") and Benny & the Jets too
ReplyDeleteOMG you are so hilarious. I had SERIOUS issues with song lyrics when I was a kid, but that was because I didn't speak any English and I liked American music so I would sing these English songs and make up my own lyrics. As I was learning the language I had to re-learn all those songs I liked. I basically had to re-do the 80's while it was already the 90's. True story.
ReplyDeleteLOLZ!! UR are too funny!! i myself have problems with lyrics. It's like im making them up as i go! I don't know whats wrong with me...I so need to get my ears checked! I love Benny & the Jets but can never seem to get the lyrics right! Anyways, loved the post:) Keep 'em comin'!

5) Losing My Religion by REM: actual lyric - "That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight..." (my version: "That's pee in the corner, that's pee in the spotlight...")
