Aga n Chickens Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hello A few nights ago we had friends round for a meal and put on a few tunes for background music. As the evening progressed we started sharing stories of silly lyric mistakes we’d made when listening to various songs. When CCR’s Bad Moon Rising started to play I had to admit that the first time I heard the song back in the 6th form in the 1970’s I always thought that the chorus went….. “Don’t go around tonight Well, it’s bound to take your life There’s the bathroom on the right.” Well you might want to know where the bathroom is if you’d just had a fright. Later as the music mellowed Dean Martin was singing “Little Old Wine Drinker me” and OH was brave enough to share his lyric mix up. “I came here last week from down in Nashville, Cause my baby left for Florida on the train I thought I’d get a job, and just forget her” Somehow the second line sounded like “Cause my baby left a fl**ter on the train. He’d always thought that a little harsh to leave someone because of a flushing malfunction!! Anyone else out there in Omletland with similar embarrassing slip ups?

BeckyBoo Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Madonna: La Isla Bonita - "young girl with eyes like potatoes......" Kim Wilde: View from a bridge - "View from a pig!" Macy Gray: "I try to say goodbye and I choke, Try to walk away and I stumble, though I try to hide it, it's clear, I wore goggles when you were not near!" (should read "my world crumbles when you are not near") Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Rainbow sang, 'I surrender to your armpits'. My son was always convinced that Britney Spears was singing directly to him....'Oh Baden Baden, how was I supposed to know?' I can only hear his name when I hear that song now.

Clash City Rocker Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Classic 70's album, still one of the biggest sellers ever. "There's a man in the shadows with a "Plum" in his eye and a blade shinning oh so bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Classic 70's album, still one of the biggest sellers ever. "There's a man in the shadows with a "Plum" in his eye and a blade shinning oh so bright. Yay! Bat out of Hell! I struggle with most of that song - my version is probably completely unrecognisable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hevvur Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Poppadom Preach by Madonna lol I always used to think the lyrics went.... "Papa don't preach, I'm in double D' Should be "Papa don't preach, i'm in trouble deep" Also in Michael Jacksons 'Billie Jean'..... "Billie jean is at my door She's just a girl who claims that I am the one, The jealous not my son" How I thought it was those lyrics.......they don't even make sense! (real lyrics) "Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one, But the kid is not my son" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
