The best misheard lyric though would have to be when a friend of mine was singing "7".

She said: Double o 7, we will watch him fall.

lol I told her Prince never did the theme music to a James Bond flick. I laughed for days on that one.

"Pop Life... everybody needs a pill... instead of "thrill"...

I remember a mistake I used to make when singing "Cream"

I'd sing: "Cream sugar gave up"

instead of: "Cream shh boogie bop"

Hey- it can happen. sugar gave up, so there's cream- get it? It made sense at the time! neutral But that's abt the worst lyric slip-up I made.

In Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic I heard

People Dancing In Public, that wasn't supposed to be - rave

and I couldn't understand why he was being so strict

But he actually sings

Arrividerci cock poppy, that was hip yesterday - rave

I wouldn't have had a hope of working that out!

lol it's ok biggrin

My mum used to sing "Living in a red corvette" instead of "Little red corvette".

And i used to think "lets look for the purple banana til they put us in the truck" was something like

"Appollonia and vanity they put us in good trust".

Even though I've always known it was "controversy" .. I heard it in my head one day as "count your blessings", and now I just sing it that way.. because it's funnier to me...

(( No one else is ever around when I do that, though )) wink
