Misheard Lyrics

[TRHvolfan]

Those classic Manfred Manns Earth Band lyrics were actually written by Bruce Springsteen, hence the car reference.

Yep, but Springsteen's lyrics were "cut loose like a deuce".

For those of you who spent any time in California in the 1970's or 80's, you're likely familiar with Cal Worthington ("And his dog, Spot!") Cal sold used cars & had the gimmicks of doing unusual stunts & appearing with various animals & calling them "his dog, Spot." But they were never dogs. The Cal Worthington commercial jingle is likely 1 of THE most misquoted songs of all time. The lyrics of the refrain go: "Go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal..." but thousands of people thought & still think today, that the refrain said "Pu$$y cow, pu$$y cow, pu$$y cow." Have a listen & decide for yourself:

Neighbor told me his friend heard Deep Purple Smoke on the water as "Slow Cousin Walter."

 

[HopHoarder]

Haha I loved those Cal Worthington commercials!

 

[DrunkleJon]

My soon-to-be FIL used to think that the lyrics to that "What a Feeling" song from Flashdance were "Take your pants off, and make it happen."

Wait, its not?

I was stationed at Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona and one of the TV stations we got was KTLA. Not only did they air the Cal Worthington ads but on Saturday nights they had Movie Macabre with Elvira. Great memories.

I live about half a mile from Worthington Ford. The commercials are still on but not with animals as often. "open till midnight!"

The Bee Gees "More than a woman."

I thought they said "bald headed woman"

Could never understand how they thought that was attractive.

Amazing, my mom used to think this was the lyric as well.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

hey, Ive seen quite a few stunning women with bald heads. But I have problems...

Lieutenant Ilia?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Her, not to mention Belladonna (sweet onion chutney) or this woman who used to live in my neighborhood...

Someone I know thought "Rock me Amadeus" was "Rock me mashed potatoes."

Also, there's some new annoying song called "This Girl is On Fire" which sounds just like "This Squirrel is on Fire."

 

[HeadyKilowatt]

My favorite misheard Grateful Dead lyric (from "Sugar Magnolia"):

Shes got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double, bakes my chicken when I sleep

Also, when I first turned my college roommate on to The Band, he thought for the longest time that "Shape I'm In" was "Shave My Head." I still sing it that way sometimes.

 

[BradleyBrew]

Whitesnake, Here I go again.

Years ago my buddy is at the bar screaming "like a twister I was born to walk alone. Unfortunately for him its "like a drifter I was born to walk alone." Needless to say he still gets made fun of for this blunder lol.

I remember one night when a very over-served woman kept insisting there was a Dylan song called "Tangled up in Glue".

 

[mcwilcr]

I'm glad I'm not the only one singing about a one winged dove and Elton John's desire to get a hug from Tony Danza (which in context is not really that far fetched for old Elton if you ask me).

 

[janson745]

One of those Pop, one-hit wonders was a song titled "Like a G6". The chorus is "So fly, like a G6", however my son was constantly singing "So fly like a cheese-stick".

 

[DisturbdChemist]

I dont listen to this kind of music but on the radio I thought Outkast - The way you move was "I love the man in you" Kinda fits for that kind of music

Also my dad thought the lyrics to Saliva - Click Click Boom was "click click pull"

 

[CreamyGoodness]

See that girl
Wash her spleen
Something!
Dancing Queeeeen!

 

[MSweat]

Pink Floyd - Have a Cigar
For some reason I hear "We're just milk cows" instead of "We're just knocked out"

 

[Apple_Jacker]

The White Stripes "7 Nation Army": it sounds like he says, "n***er sweat drip out of every pour."

 

[Apple_Jacker]

Also Rage Against the Machine: "We're the redneck kings of funk!"

My drunken favorite karaoke song, "Like a Cheese steak"

Like a Cheese Steak
Like a Cheese Steak
I'm feeling so hungry for a Cheese Steak
Like a Cheese Steak
Like a Cheese Steak
Yeah I'm feeling so hungry for a Cheese Steak

Gimme that thin sliced beef,
Gimme that green bell,
Grill it up with onions, baby,
toss it on some bread.
This is how we's fed
Each and every night,
Now stick that sammich in yo face
And take a big @ss bite.

Hell yeah
Snack it up just munch it up
Hungry fools around me will be really really stuffed
Hell yeah
Snack it up just munch it up
Hungry fools around me will be really really stuffed

 

[S-Met]

Live: All over you
Friend sings:
I love you, black Walter
Actual:
Our love is like water...

Same friend.
White Zombie: More Human than Human
More human you the man you the man.

Then there's that well-known Kiss Anthem song, "I want to rock and roll all night and part of every day"

As if Kiss would rock and roll for only part of every day.
