Lucy in Disguise with Diamonds

15 Points Per Correct Answer - No time limit  

1. Singing 'Lucy in disguise with diamonds' in public was mortifying as the words were not quite right! What was this line from The Beatles meant to be? Lucy in my mind with iPhones Lucy in the sky will die soon Loosely in my mind with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds

2. Quite understandably I got the following lyrics wrong. Rather than laughing, my friends sympathized as Australian Crawl songs are SO hard to understand! I sang "Let me tell you about my mountain home" (correct), then "With all the ladies on the phone". That was wrong, but what was that second line supposed to be? Where all the lads are on to Joan When all the girls are on the throne Where all the ladies names are Joan Where all the ladies set the tone

3. Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" is a classic, but much to my chagrin I sang "there's a meaning I bet" (incorrect), followed by "when I look to the west". What was that first phrase meant to be? where's that feeling, my pet there's a meaning that's set there's a feeling I get here's the vision I get

4. 'Great, "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix' I thought. 'I know that.' I started singing and stopped when I saw the strange expressions on my friends' faces after belting out "excuse me while I kiss this guy". What should I have sung? excuse me until the train goes by excuse me while I lift this pie excuse me while I kiss the sky excuse me while the man gets high

5. At primary (elementary) school in Australia, we used to sing "God save our biscuit tin, don't let the ants get in", which in hindsight was quite disrespectful! At that time, 'God Save the Queen' was the Australian National Anthem and the correct first line was "God save our gracious Queen". What was the correct second line? Long live our noble Queen Send her victorious Long to reign over us Happy and glorious

6. At a 70's retro party, a Slade album was placed on the turntable. "C'mon feel the noise" deafened us from the large speakers. Unfortunately I messed up the second line by screaming out "girls grab your toys". What line did Noddy Holder actually sing? hide all the toys let's all enjoy girls grab the boys gather all the boys

7. Perhaps the most famous 'mondegreen' (mistaken song words) comes from Manfred Mann's 1976 version of 'Blinded by the Light'. I sang "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night". Was I correct? Yes No

8. I walked late into a party and the music was in full swing. I heard the distinctive sounds of John Fogerty and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Listening to words about hurricanes and nasty weather and, perhaps foreshadowing a future need, I sang out "there's a bathroom on the right". Obviously wrong but what should this line be? It's a bad room for tonight There's a time to watch the skies There's a bad moon on the rise Hurry up and eat those pies

9. The night has been long and I'm feeling 'Comfortably Numb' as the unmistakable sounds of Pink Floyd reach my ears. Without thinking, I start singing "There is no brain you are receiving". Hysterical laughter greets this obviously incorrect effort. What should I have sung? It's all a game you are receiving There is no pain, you are receding Don't be vain, you are deceiving What a shame you're not proceeding

10. I've almost decided to stop singing in public at all after my best friend finally points out that I'd been getting the same line from Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' wrong for years. I'd always thought the words were "Beelzebub is a rebel for signing me". What did my considerate friend tell me the words should be? Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me Beelzebub has a terrible case of fleas Beelzebub has a devil on the side for free Beelzebub has several sets of keys
