I am famous for hearing wrong lyrics. I'll be (thinking I'm) jamming to a song and my son will look at me like I have 4 heads. The conversation will go like this:
What are you looking at?
You!
Why?
That is NOT what the song says!
What do they say then?
Oh.
I got it honestly though because my mom will tear up some lyrics and when you correct her, she'll just say "I like my version better!" LOL
It wasn't until a couple of months ago (go ahead, get your laugh on) that I figured out Janet was saying
Soap opera says and not So Barbara says in What Have You Done For Me Lately. I just assumed Barbara was one of her friends, lol.
When I first heard Alicia's new cd, I thought she was singing about a Breakfast kinda love, not a Wreckless one.
On Holla Back Girl, I thought Gwen was saying "Eat bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S". It was only after we were talking in one of my Yahoo groups that I found she was saying "This shit is bananas". What did I know? I only heard it on the radio and they bleeped out shit!
The earliest song I remember jacking up was the Bee Gees How Deep is Your Love, when they say OOOOOO you n me girl...I thought they were saying OOOOOOO you ni**ger. Hey, I was in grade school!
What lyrics have you misheard? There's a whole website dedicated to misheard lyrics, so I know I'm not the only one! LOL
Before Play tries to blast me, in "You Got Your Hooks In Me" by the O'Jays, I thought he said, "I talk like a bitch." LOL My mother overheard me singing along one day & politely informed me that he says, "I'm caught like a fish."
ReplyDeleteMichael Jackson's songs always mess me up...Atomic Dog(George Clinton)..messed me up as a teen...I still haven't verified if it's correct.. "I've got whores and they're outside on the street..working for me ..nothing but the dog in me." Bow wow yippey yay Bow wow yippey yay yippey yay..Pleeeeeease tell me I'm wrong..LOL
ReplyDeleteI knew you betta had said something! LOL I had you in mind as I was writing!
ReplyDeleteClawwwwwwwwd! According to Yahoo lyrics, you are wrong Cy.
ReplyDeleteLike the boys
When they're out there walkin' the streets
May compete
Nothin' but the dog in ya
Way wrong, lol.
Well, I know I'm going to get ALOT of laughs on THIS first one, but on Earth Wind & Fire's "That's the Way of the World", instead of "HEARTS OF FIRE" I would play and say "PACIFIER"!!! I KNEW that wasn't right, but for the LONGEST that's what "I" would say!
ReplyDeleteAlso, the most FAMOUS "lyric" mystery is on "Piece of my Love" by Guy. There's been a LONG TIME RUNNING rumor that Aaron Hall says "Dumb B*&$%" at the beginning, and it actually sounds like he does. They claim that's not what he says though.
Aw Sis, I done jacked up plenty of their songs too!
ReplyDeleteMy sista from another mother!!! I thought the same thing!! ...before Play tries to blast me one mo' gin. LOL
ReplyDeletetoo funny!
ReplyDeleteThis is funny. I have butchered so many songs, that I gave up keeping up. LOL
ReplyDeleteI know better, but a friend of mine messed me up with the song, Stir Up the Gift...he told me he sings it Stir Up the Grits...sang it to me for like 5 minutes. I canNOT sing that song right anymore, and certainly not with a straight face.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Everyone!!!
ReplyDelete@ Subira- he DOES say Dumb Bitch!! (I heard it too!!!) LOL i told one of my friends about that LAST week, had her and her fiance' at the computer listenin with the speaker to their ears LOL LOL LOL...
I am actually pretty good with music. I can listen to a song and pick out all the parts and at least sing the soprano/alto parts. I have an ear for catching (and correcting) lyrics and it pisses other people off! LOL
This is a good site to find some misheard lyrics...
http://www.kissthisguy.com
This came from a song that had the line Excuse me while I kiss THE SKY. this lyric was misheard as Excuse me while I kiss This Guy... LOL
See, you're gonna have me clowning at church now!
ReplyDeleteThat's the site I have linked in the blog!
ReplyDeleteLOL I didnt click the link before i posted it in my comment... sowwy
ReplyDeleteI am choking laughing at all of this...
ReplyDelete(and I heard that Aaron Hall really IS saying "dumb bitch"... and if you listen to the rest of the song, if "she" is falling for that okey doke ... whoever she is, yes, she's a dumb bitch!)
LOL My friend Michelle told me like 10 yrs ago LOL and I was like NUH-UHHHHHH!!! now I sing it along with the song... He does it with a bass in his voice so you can't HELP but notice it! LOL
ReplyDeleteLMAO..... you gone wanna beat somebody's ass over what you thought....

ReplyDeleteOk...What's the Michael Jackson song that goes at the bridge...."Imma say Imma say your mocha sock" I can't think of that doggone song..so I can post it...But it's a part that sounds like he's saying that..."Imma say Imma say your mocha sock."

ReplyDeleteWell we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin'
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby
There ain't nothin wrong with that.
Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Deedles, you are truly a nut.
ReplyDeleteI thought you knew, I like making people smile!
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm not even going to start on the church songs that I butchered...LOL Like.."Pass me not oh gentle SERVER. Here's my crumbling pie..." What's sad about this, my mother KNEW I was getting the words all wrong and she still made me sing it for a solo in church when I was 6...That's not right! (I got a lot of dollars though..LOL)
ReplyDeleteGirl, I STILL butcher some of them! LOL
ReplyDeleteAll hail the power of Jesus’ Name! Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all
