Misheard lyrics
 
My OH is a D.J and he often gets sent playlists where people can't remember the name of the song.

He has just been sent one by someone asking for "my first real sex dream" by Bryan Adams. After a minute or two of confusion, I realised they were asking for Summer of 69. "I got my first real six string, bought it at the 5 and dime".

I'm not sure what they thought "the summer of 69" was all about :rofl:

A song that Paul Young sang with another band, late 80s early 90s was called Senza una Donna but it always sounded like Sex on a Doughnut to me!

My little brother always used to sing "Long train run over us" in the national anthem.

I use to think that the Talking Heads song "take Me to the river and wash me down" was "take me to the river and watch me drown"

Always wondered what a Mancheerun was when I was 13...

LOL.... I've just had two song lyrics changed for me. Golden Brown and Purple Haze. I really thought it was as the posters previously thought until this thread.

We are a Foos household here. In One of these days my 7 year old daughter was singing

Your heart has never been broken
Your bra has never been stolen (meant to be pride)

I was sure the lyric in Arlandria (I guess the clue was in the title but I didn't know what the song was called :D) was -

You are not me, I'm angrier, I'm angrier.

The kids reckon those lyrics suit me down to the ground :(

I had a similar one. Gala did a song called "freed from desire" and the lyrics are ...my love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs.
For years I thought she was singing ...my love has got no money, he's got his tromboleze. I assumed a tromboleze was some kind of musical instrument :lol:

Our youngest daughter told us recently that she always thought 'you'll always find him in the kitchen at parties' was 'you'll always find the perfect kitchen at Benny's'. She wondered where Benny's was.

It took me forever and ever to realise the lyric was, 'with my mind she runs'

What's the longest you've ever known a song then, finally, you realise what the lyric really was on hearing the song for the 500th time in ten years or more.

So did I!!! :lol: my sister is very musical and I even asked her if a tromboleze was a small or big trombone.... :o. It was when she went :blink: that I realised my error!

I also thought Ricky Martin was singing, in that 'She Bangs, She Bangs' song,
"she look like a flower but she stinks like a pig".
Turns out it's, "she looks like a flower but she stings like a bee".
Who knew?! :lol:
