    :rollin


    The darkness "Get your hands off my woman"

    Real lyrics:"You're too fat & too old to marry so,they left you on the shelf"

    My interpratation:"Yoo-hoo had it off with Walter Raleigh & he left you with his wealth" :lol


    Metallica "The god that failed"

    Real lyrics:"Follow the God that failed"

    My interpratation:"Swollow the chip 'n dails" :lol


    Pearl jam "Jeremy"

    Real lyrics:"Jeremy spoke in class today"

    My interpratation:"Jeremy broke his ass today"

    Metallica "Unforgiven"

    Real lyrics:"Contemplated fait,the young boys learn their rules"

    My interpratation:"Contspitated face,the fun boys lick their tools"
    >:
    x

    & finally Queen "Bycycle Race"

    Real lyrics:"I want to ride my bycycle,I want to ride my bike,I want to ride my bycycle,I want to ride it where I like"

    My interpratation:"I want to ride a bi-sexual,I want to ride a dyke.I want to ride a bi-sexual,I want to rape it with a spike" :rolleyes

    Ok, those interpretations give more of an insight into your psyche than I think anyone needs, but they did remind me of a quite hilarious occurence once.

    Someone once said to a girl I know called Claire "Have you heard the new Pearl Jam single 'Jeremy'?"

    And she said "No, he's called Eddie Vedder!".

    you want www.kissthisguy.com for all your misheard lyrics needs.

    my own personal best was the year i worked in our price as a christmas temp. the eternal 'best of' had come out, and in the chorous of 'i wanna be the only one', i swore that, in response to eternal's line 'i wanna be the only one to hold you', the backing singers sang 'take you from behind'.

    it's apparantly 'protect you from the rain', but all the staff agreed with me...

    Of course there's the classic, over repeated deliberate mistake in Bob Marley, which I honestly did see happening for real once.

    Redemption Song
    "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.
    Have no fear for ATOMIC ENERGY, cos none of them can stop the time."

    To which I once, seriously, heard someone go
    "Who the @#%$'s Tommy Kennedy!".
    He was particularly agressive about it too, as if somebody was suggesting that we should all fear Tommy Kennedy.

    Well, it was funny at the time, like most of this thread will be, I suspect.

    When I was but a young boy I thought;

    'The girl with kaleidoscope eyes' was:

    'The girl with Colitis walks by'

    Until I checked the back of the album and discovered I was very WRONGED.

    My friend also heard a girl singing

    'He hates the space'
    when it should have been

    'the ace of spades'


    Silly silly silly.

    Til I was about 13 I thought it said "Lovin' would be easy if your guddies were like my jeans, red gold and green" in Karma Chameleon.

    And of course there's always "Israeli men, Hallelujah!"

    Bags are for the weak.

    Surprised no-one has mentioned The Israelite..

    often misheard as 'me ears are alight'.

    My Taiwanese mate Koryn is always mishearing lyrics.. most recently electric toaster by U2 (electrical storm).. macy gray - 'I wear goggles when you are not here' which is actually 'my world crumbles when you are not here' and 'she said see you ladyboy' from that avril lavigne track sk8trboi..

    The song that goes: 'why do you have to be a heartbreaker?'.

    In my younger years i thought she sang 'why do you happen to be darth vader?'

    Which i thought was very strange...

    Radio 1's Colin Murray, a big fan of Soft Rock obviously, used to hear the following lyrics to the Heart 80's classic 'Alone'

    "I never really cared until I met you"

    as

    "I never really came until I met you..."

    :eek

    Macy Gray

    "my world crumbles when you are not near"

    misheard by a mate as

    "I wear goggles when you are not near"

    next time you actually hear the song it does sound scarily like "I wear goggles". Heard it when pinting in my local and almost choked to death laughing with a mouth full of beer.

    mmmm beer.

    I have a friend who thought that "and I'd stay for ages, if I could, to wake you..." By Hundred Reasons, actually said "and I'd stay for ages, if i could, to wan*k you..."
    When I say a friend, I mean me. Seriously though. Listen to it :lol

    best one i ever heard was someone messing up Not So Manic Now by Dubstar.

    Instead of hearing...

    'I was making myself the usual cup of tea when the doorbell strangely rang'

    This utter genius heard...

    'i was making myself the usual cup of tea when the dog smelt strangely rank'.

    I've thought of another one.Don't know the proper lyrics.But,it's the Rob Zombie song:"Superbeast" & sounds like he says:"I'm hung like a donkey,I'm built like a tank,I sweat like a rapist & I @#%$ like a priest":

    a girl i knew at college thought the first line of wonderwall was "tuesday is gonna be the day they were gonna throw it back to you."

    another girl thought that song "how bizarre" actually had the chorus "parmesan, parmesan....."

    Funny how many people have 'friends' who get lyrics wrong, or know of 'someone' who it happened to. Own up, y'all, it was you wasn't it?

    I personally was convinced Bjork was singing 'curled up in my private tortoise' instead of 'curled up in my private TORTURES' for aaaaaaages (can't remember name of song, it's the one with Dave Arnold, 'Play Dead', is that it?). I still can't listen to it without hearing that line, it made perfect sense in my head. "her private tortoise, like her shell, aahhh".

    Here's a few dire metallica songs that would probabily sound better if these were the proper lyrics.

    The line in the god that failed that say:"Follow the god that failed"sounds more like "Swollow the chip n' dales"

    Then in my friend of misery the line that said:"You insist that the wait of the world should be on undiscovered"might as well say"should be on your shoulders" Edited by: ensemblemaniac at: 8/4/05 12:07 am

    Soundgardens' black hole sun sounds like:"In my eyes,up my whole,I'm signing on the dole.Then comes Mrs.Coates & her goats & they suck me off a treat"

    Oh!,I've thought of another one~Slayer's postmortem sounds like "Praise the whore"
