When I first heard Desmond Dekker and the Aces sing the Isrealite I thought he was singing Oh Oh me ears are alight. It was only after quite a few times listening to it that I realised it was Poor me, The Isrealite.
Which lyrics have you mistakenly heard? And please do not just post a list pulled from the Web. I want to know your own.

"Venus" by Shocking Blue. I don't want to post something which could be considered profane. A part of the anatomy that rymes with the word "Venus". Think about it.Lol I must have been about 8 years old riding in a car with my parents when they heard me singing along to the song in the back seat. They couldn't contain their laughter as they corrected me ! Reply #102. Aug 16 09, 12:42 PM |

Crumbs! There are probably so many. 'My Old Man's a Dustman' lyrics go - Some people make a fortune, others earn a mint. For years I thought it was - Some people make a fortune, others only meat. Also 'Love Potion Number 9' goes - She looked at my palm and she make a magic sign, but I thought it said - She looked like a bum and she made a magic sign. I have had a good laugh reading everyone else's mistakes. Reply #103. Aug 30 09, 2:33 PM |

I think one of the most difficult songs to get right must be "Blinded by the Light". Doesn't matter if I am listening to Manfred Mann or Springsteen - the lyrics are very difficult to make out. If I wrote down what I thought I heard, you would think I pulled the "mondegreens" straight from a website. Reply #104. Aug 30 09, 6:06 PM |

This is classic, but Elton John's song really does sound like 'Hold me close now Tony Danza' instead of 'Hold me close now Tiny Dancer'! Reply #107. Sep 05 09, 12:46 PM |

This was on an Australian music trivia TV show last night... No ducks orgasm in the bathroom ! The correct lyrrics are of course: No dark sarcasm in the classroom.. Pink Floyd in The Wall... but how funny is the mondegreen ? Reply #110. Oct 15 09, 3:37 AM |

I remember listening to Huey Lewis & The News when I was younger and would always sing "I want a new truck" instead of "I want a new drug" LOL! I also thought he sang "oooh maybe nemphis" instead he sang "one that won't make me nervous." Reply #113. Oct 19 09, 5:04 PM |

When I was a child, my school district was called 'Zumwalt.' For years I thought the Marines were singing about 'the halls of Monty Zumwalt.' Reply #114. Oct 19 09, 6:01 PM |

In the Jimi Hendrix song "Purple Haze" for years I thought he was saying "Scuse me while I kiss this guy". Then I found out the lyrics are actually "Scuse me while I kiss the sky". Reply #115. Oct 19 09, 6:50 PM |

There is a lovely song out now, a real tearjerker, by an artist called Christina Perri. It is called "Jar of Hearts" but the first time I heard it, I hear the lyric "jar of farts". My apologies to everyone and I can't hear the song without laughing! Reply #116. Dec 05 10, 8:14 PM |

While growing up I was convinced some of the lyrics to "Winter Wonderland" were "then pretend that he is parched and brown" for "Parson Brown" and "later on we'll perspire as we dream by the fire" for "we'll conspire". I also listened to Juice Newton's "Angel of the Morning" with the line "just pack the Jeep" in place of "just kiss my cheek". Reply #117. Dec 05 10, 10:57 PM |

I often mishear lyrics and the last one I got wrong was "When I grow Up" by the Pussycat Dolls. I heard " When I grow up I want to have boobies" instead of "I want to have groupies." My favourite one is from my cousin always used to sing "I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot him dead you see." Reply #118. Dec 08 10, 5:18 AM |

I used to sing along with "Surrey with the Fringe on Top," from the musical "Oklahoma!: Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry,/ When I take you out in Missouri .... Well, Missouri's close to Oklahoma ;-) _______________ I also sang a portion of "God Bless America" as "stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from a bulb...." Reply #120.
