Misunderstood Song Lyrics

[MKH]

Who on these boards has ever heard a song on the radio and thought the artist was singing something other than what they were really singing? I'll start with my first example.

There's a song called 'Alive and Kicking' by Simple Minds (I think?). From the 80's, of course. Anyway, I always thought the guy was singing 'I like it Kinky' when he was actually singing 'Alive and Kicking' in the chorus!

Sometimes me and my girlfriends would intentionally make up different words to songs, too. We always thought we were improving the songs with our different lyrics.

My youngest brother used to sing "Life in the Vaseline" to the top of his lungs. We could never seem to convince him the Eagles were singing "Life in the Fast Lane".

He probably spent a few of his youth years in that jar, you know GTTBM!

And this one...
Wind of Change by the Scorpions

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park - Sounds like donkey park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

 

[Beachbummette]

To the toon of The Steve Miller Bands "Big Ol Jet Airliner"

"Big Ol Bare Vagina"

 

[Kimmifunn]

And in the Backstreet Boys song I Want It That Way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache- Ain't nothing but a party
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

There's a country song that's out now, don't know the artist since I just here it in Jazzercise. But he says something about 'Redheads, brunettes and blondes'. Over and over. I always think he's singing 'redheads, blue hairs and blondes'...

You should've been gone- Cinnamon gum
Knowing how I made you feel
And I should've been gone
After all your words of steel
Oh I must've been a dreamer
And I must've been someone else
And we should've been over
