Last night I was driving the daughter of a friend to soccer practice and she started to sing...she was singing "This is the dawning of the age of AQUARIUMS". I started lauphing and told her the real words, she cracked up. Then we started talking about lyrics I got wrong for years. That Boy George song, I thought he was singing "come a come a come a come a Camilia" (I have an Aunt Camilia so it made total sense to me)


There used to ba commercial for a oldies station about people getting the words wrong and it was just too funny

Anyone have wrong lyrics stories?

My sister tried to convince me once that the "Blinded by the Light" song sang:

"Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche, another runner in the night".

However, it's "Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, Another runner in the night"

Too funny.

Google Mondegreens. There are so many funny stories and so many misheard lyrics.

Mine is The Doobie Brothers -Gie me the Beat Boys. I thought it was Give me the Beach Boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away

Made sense to me

There is a whole web site devoted to this:

The Archive of Misheard Lyrics

Lots of fun!

I remember my baby sister though the James Bond theme song "Secret Agent Man" was "Secret Asian Man" which she was singing loudly in the theater Given that there has never been an asian James Bond, I'm really not sure where she got it from!

The only one I can think of quickly is the Clash and 'Rock the Casbah'. was a commercial on TV for something, and the guy thought it said 'Change the catbox'? or 'rock the catbox' or something.

Cracked me up.

I'm afraid to see the link, because I KNOW I'm singing songs the wrong way

thx for the link though!

Becca,
Wasn't saying that you couldn't discuss it here! Just a pointer to some more funny ones.

I have an aunt who, for years and years sang "Jose queer boy, you are a friend of mine." I'm sure you can imagine her horror when she figured out the real lyrics. She didn't tell me that until I was well into my 20's. It was funny.

Ok, what song was this??

Jose Cuervo

It's a song about Tequilla, goes in part like this
Jose Cuervo you are a friend of mine
I like to drink you with a little salt and lime
Did I kiss all the cowboys?
Did I shoot out the lights?
Did I dance on the bar?
Did I start a fight?

This is one of my old time fav.

Margueritaville.....up until just a few years ago, in fact, I thought it said "I blew off my flip flop.....stepped on a POP TART". Hey, it made sense to me.

Ok I have a couple that I know of. The first one was Forever in Bluejeans by Neil Diamond. I sang it Reverand Bluejeans, I still can not sing it right. LOL My mom thought that the Beatles song Paperback Writer, was Take a Back Right Turn.

I thought it was "Give me the people to free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away..

You mean its not people?

I thought it was "This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius". What is it suppose to be?
I also thought Boy George was saying "come a come a come a come a Camilia". Guess I was wrong abut that one too.

I had a friend in high school that thought Total Eclipse of the Heart contained the lyrics "Living in a power keg and giving off farts" It's actually "Living in a powder keg and giving off sparks"

and Boy George is saying Karma Chameleon(sp?)

Back in high school (a long time ago), I always thought the song said "There's a bathroom on the right" and it was supposed to be "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise."

My son cracks up at me over Livin' Lovin' Maid by Led Zeppelin...

It is: With a purple umbrella and a 50 cent hat....

I sing: with a pebble operetta and a 50 percent chance.... (what the heck is that?? )

I love that commercial!!

Ok..here's mine Steve Miller Band....

"Well, I've been looking for a whore and trying to find a job, keep on rocking me baby, keep on rocking me baby...

But the lyrics are "I"ve been looking real hard and trying to find a job" etc..

I was a HUGE REO Speedwagon fan in highschool (i think I was born in the wrong generation as my 10 year reunion is this year!!)

Anyway, my mom grew up listeneing to that music so she should know the lyrics, right??

Well, we were listening to one of the songs and she belts out "corndog for the night" and I crack up laughing saying mom it's "cold dark winters night" hahaha

Omg, how funny is this one...my best friend in h.s. -her mom owned a bar---She always sang, Bring me an iron lung, against our, bring me a higher love...

I'm not trying to be a knowitall or anything, just thought you would like to know the name of the song is "Drift Away" and it's sang by Dobie Gray (or Uncle Kracker and Dobie Gray).

I have a game called "Song Burst" and someone tells you the song title and reads off part of a lyric, and you have to sing the next couple of lines. You guys would be a hoot to play this with .

I just thought of another one. I thought Carrie Underwood(Before He Cheats) was singing "I carved my name into his legacy" instead of "I carved my name into his leather seats"

Thats hilarious, my mom was singing "I have the magic stick" by 50 cent & lil' Kim completely wrong, I started laughing sooooo hard because she didn't have a clue what the song was about so when I told her she said I was shocked that she actually had a 'nice' song. It was so funny it's a dirty song.
