Mistaken lyrics

oK, I get this idea from a previous post where there was mention of the lyrics people have accidentally been signing ...only to find them to be completely wrong!

Or maybe there are some you cant work out so you made your own up?
I thought this could make for an amusing thread.

I'll start if off with Chelsea Rodgers and the confusion between Butt like a leather seat or letter C ...

I'm sure I'll find some more as I listen to some CDs throughout the week and remember my confusion,...

come on, share your silly stories..

yep .. i've said this in about 2 other threads .. that ..

i messed up "Let's Pretend We're Married" for years boxed

Prince says: "Im in love with God, He's the only way"
what i said: "Im in love with guys, it's the only way"

also.. someone else made this mistake ..

Cream

Prince says: "u're filthy, cute, n baby you know it"
person said: "u filthy Cuban, baby you know it"

I think Raspberry Beret has to be the most misheard Prince song.

My friend thought it was "working part time in a bar and dine".....my favorite one is someone thought the lyrics were "It was the last ferry boat race"! LOL

i kinda remember there was some confusion over the lyrics of "scarlet pussy", over the line 'young green teenager, filthy rich yuppie' which got discussed in the Controversy fanzine, and prince read it and found it so funny that he sent a handwritten copy of the lyrics 2 put in the next edition of the magazine.
anyone got a copy or scan of it ?

I don't think this is misheard, but some people disagree with me: On the extended version of I Wish U Heaven, I swear he says, "Your sister ugly, that's the truth/She pees in the backyard, sleep on the roof." But some people think it's "She eats pizza in the backyard," which makes no sense.

I thought he said "Virgin Teenager" I refuse to believe otherwise
Mine is 100 MPH his and Maz version I had NO IDEA what the words were until about a year ago. I liked my lyrics better on that one wink

"100% italian ponys dripped in lace"

"100 % italian silk imported egyptian lace"

I had to actually go a look-up the lyrics to get it right! razz

Yay another one! woot! I remember this other hilarious thread about 2 years ago that had me falling on the floor...

Well, I state my mistaken lyrics.

In Kiss, I thought he said "We all go down disco bay" instead of "Little girl Wendy's Parade"...lol I always thought that line was weird until it was clarified, of course.
