What, have you heard that?!?!?!
Misheard lyrics? Oh yessssss! Well, for me, when I was a very young lady :), every song was a misheard lyric!
I found this site
Misheard Lyrics on Internet some weeks ago, and I couldn't believe it: it has a page devoted to some Duran Duran's misheard lyrics!
Some are too ridiculous to be true (though funny!), they are plainly unbelievable, so I guess they were submitted just for laughs:
For instance:
"The Chauffeur"
Misheard Lyrics:
And watching lovers fart, I feel you smiling.
Original Lyrics:
And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling.
"Careless Memories"
Misheard Lyrics:
With a ghost and a ring
Original Lyrics:
With a careless memory
"Rio"
Misheard Lyrics:
Her name is Rio and she dances on the stand
Just like that river twisting through Krustyland.
Original Lyrics:
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land.
And this one, I couldn't even make it rhyme!!!
"A View To a Kill"
Misheard Lyrics:
With that crepe suzette you thrill
Original Lyrics:
Face to face, in secret places, feel the chill.
I mean, what the heck?!?!?!?!?!
But there are others that are believable and here are some of my favourites ones:
"A View To A Kill"
Misheard Lyrics:
A chance to find the fuel mix for the plane.
Original Lyrics:
A chance to find a phoenix on the flame.
Misheard Lyrics:
But you know, the plants I'm making
Still overseed.
Original Lyrics:
But you know, the plans I'm making
Still over see.
"All She Wants Is"
Misheard Lyrics:
What does your whore say now?
Original Lyrics:
What does your heart say now?
"Girls on Film"
Misheard Lyrics:
See them walking hand in hand towards the fridge at midnite
Original Lyrics:
See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnite
"Hungry Like The Wolf"
Misheard Lyrics:
Straddle the line,
it's disco and wine
Original Lyrics:
Straddle the line
it's discord and rhyme
"Is There Something I Should Know?"
Misheard Lyrics:
I made a great guy run out yesterday
Original Lyrics:
I made a break, I run out yesterday
"New Moon On Monday"
Misheard Lyrics:
I like my torture way before the
New Moon on Monday.
Original Lyrics:
I light my torch and wave it for the
New Moon on Monday.
"None Of The Above"
Misheard Lyrics:
I admire myself alone.
Original Lyrics:
I am I myself alone.
Note: I think I'd have understood the same if I hadn't read the lyrics.
"Rio"
Misheard Lyrics:
Do all the villians know
Original Lyrics:
Two of a billion stars
Misheard Lyrics:
I've seen you on the beach,
and I've seen you on tv
Tune of a billion swords,
it means so much to me
like a bird of prey on a pretty view
Original Lyrics:
I've seen you on the beach,
and I've seen you on tv.
Two, of a billion stars,
it means so much to me
like birthday or a pretty view
"The Reflex"
Misheard Lyrics:
I tell you some boy is fooling around
With my chances on the danger line
I'll punch that b**** when I find him.
Original Lyrics:
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the danger line
I'll cross that bridge when I find it.
