I thought the line was "Does the city know, when the rocket ship explodes" instead on "Is it silly, no" from Sign o the Times

nuts


I always thought it was "Well, you shoulda known, when the rocket ship explodes..." Go figure. confused

And.....people mishear a lyric in Tamborine.

"All alone by myself me and I play my tamborine.....troubling.

Many people think it's trampoline. However if you consider the context of the song, it's clear that he's frustrated at having to be alone. Hence, it is "troubling" him...



I've always thought the word used there was "trembling", pronounced with 3 syllables. smile

After seeing if I could hear it this way, it sounds like "I slipped it in her ass."
And as for my own misheard lyrics, I'm sure that there are plenty which have not been corrected yet. I'm still amazed at concerts when I realize how many lyrics I just flat out don't know, or that I sing as giberish since I don't know the real words. It's kinda hard to learn all the lyrics when you discover Prince's career around 1995 and have to learn the previous 15 years or so AND keep up with all the new stuff he comes out with.

My daughter was listening to "Graffiti Bridge". I thought it was a kids' tape, there's a toy piano sound plinking away, and I thought it was really cute and catchy. The melody line. My daughter was about 10 at the time...then I found out it was Prince!...She was singing "Thieves in the Temple": "Voices from the sky say RELY ON YOUR BEDSPREAD TO PULL YOU THOUGH".
I guess she relied pretty heavily on bedspreads at the time:::shakes head::::

Please send all your Movie Labels 2 me...

Geez, i actually thought that's what it said....

And I also thought the lyric was "legs" instead of "lakes" in Delerious. For over 20 years until I read this thread a few days ago.

In 'The Continental'

Instead of 'Just say the word and we can START FROM number one'

I thought it was ...

'Just say the word and we can STOP FOR number one' ... TOTALLY different connotation.

I was very embarrassed about this until I read a review in a music magazine which thought exactly the same smile
