hey everybody,

i was cooling down after getting in some excercise when i decided to pull out some of my c.d.'s. i started to think back when i misheard some lyrics to songs and thought it was funny.

ex #1: Mama Used To Say-Junior

Correct Line: Don't you rush to get old
How i heard it: Don't you rush the ghetto.

ex #2 : 2000 Watts- Michael Jackson
Correct Line: 2000 Watts- 8 Ohms
Misheard Line: 2000 Watts- Eggrolls

ex # 3: Prince - No
Correct Line: When u don't wanna live life under the gun.
How i heard it: Why U don't wanna live? Life's to have a good time.

can you all think of any more misheard song lyrics or verses that are funny to you?

How I Heard It Before:' I'm up against the stripper tryin to take on the music, it's like a competition, I really wanna beat, I wanna get in the zone, I wanna get in the zone.

A classic:

It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

I heard: Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the weed
Today was a fairytale

All Cried Out

I heard "I gave you my body babe"
The lyrics are "I gave you my love in vain"

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

literally that's what I thought it was

musicjunky318 said:

I've still been singing it as "I've been in the shadow, I've been in the light..."

I had no idea that was wrong.

Anyway, just today, I was singing the line from Batdance (as I always do) as "hey lucky, let me stick the 7" in the computer". I know the word is "duckie" but anyone he's sticking his 7" into is lucky.

A friend once admitted to this one...

From Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
Correct line: "Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghost could ever dare try"
Misheard: "Girl, I can hear the motion and devotion of the cher shry."

I'm so glad he never sang that around me.

Lammastide said:

I always said "girl i can feel u more than any ghoul who ever dare try"

ViintageJunkiie said:

But at least that's in the same ballpark!

Sam Sparro

Correct line (chorus) : "Cottonmouth! Cottonmouth"
Misheard: "Cock in mouth! Cock in mouth" (why not? he's actually gay! )
