Lyrics in songs you've got wrong all these years!

Really funny ones here, thanks for the laughs.

I can never feel the same about Bohemian Rhapsody now.

Weeeeeeeee!

MissAdventure I'm glad I'm not the only one who accepted that devil in the sideboard.

Audi10 I always thought it was, 'I believe in Milco.'

Milko

Always thought that Errol brown of hot chocolate sang I believe in milky, where you from you sexy thing, Sexy thing you! Rip Errol x

Did anyone watch Ant and Dec on Saturday night? They had karaoke of Karma Chameleon with Culture Club singing live. The opening line was, "Desert loving in your eyes......". I, and many others according to social media, had always thought it was, "There's a loving in your eyes...."

I don't know who wrote it, but all I could think of when I heard bohemian rhapsody was "Beelzebub has a devil in the sideboard, wheeeee!"

If you're one of the many fighting with the lyrics
Mairzy Doats etc
and
Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy

It turns out they're deliberate homophones (look it up in Wikipedia)

My father, who worked in the drawing office at Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead in the 50s and 60s, always sang it as

Mersey Docks and Harbour Board
And little lambsey divey

Apparently some Scouse wag in the 1950s had scrawled the second line on a sign at the entrance to Liverpool docks.

Knock knock knockin' on Kevin's door (Dylan/Clapton)

You'd better make way for the Mother Superior (O You Pretty Things - Bowie/Herman's Hermits)

I’ve just thought of another one I always misheard, in ABBA Supertrouper:
‘I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Tesco’

It’s actually Glasgow, but even now I know that I still think Tesco fits well, as that’s how I feel when I’m at the supermarket.

In Peter Gabriel's song "Games without Frontiers" I always thought the background singers were singing "She's so popular". It turns out all my friends thought the same. However, now I know it's "Jeux sans frontiers".

Did you know that it's Kate Bush singing that bit?

Neil Sedaka had a song in the 1970 called "The Queen of 1964" My friend and I sang "nobody wants to know the red droopy now".

Only when we went to see Neil Sedaka live, and he sang the song, did we realise that the line is actually "nobody want an overaged groupie now".

You need to look up Peter Kay, mishead lyrics on Youtube "the Tour that didn't Tour Tour". Hilarious!

Framilode . Haven't heard that one.

Elaine R155 There was a version like that, we used to sing it at school:
My body lies over the ocean
My body lies over the sea
My father lies over my mother
And that's how they got little me.

The song Guadalajara. I always used to think, and sing, Once in a Meadow, Oh Yes, Once in a Meadow.

I thought that too....hilarious

In the hymn "Onward, Christian Soldiers my young daughter thought that the line "Christ, the Royal Master leads against the foe" was "Christ, the Royal Master leans against the phone."

My little sister Ros used to sing 'Roland Shepherd and thy sheep' (the hymn 'Loving shepherd and thy sheep), I was going out with a lad called Roland Shepherd at the time, wonder what ever happened to him?

I was convinced the Police (sting) sang ‘a year has passed since I broke my nose’ in ‘message in a bottle’ it’s actually wrote my note but I only found out recently lol

I'm still sure Freddie sings about pork sausages in Bohemian Rhapsody.

Haha me too. Well I always heard ‘warm sausage tea’ rather than monstrosity.

Husband was voicecsearching for his favourite Pavarotti song Una furtiva lacrima and his phone heard it as owner of diva labrador!
Wouldnt call our lab Sally a diva !
