Misheard song lyrics

The Jean Genie. (David Bowie)
Eats scooby snacks

My son aged about 3 singing along to Bob Marley

Stand up for your rights
Get up stand up
Don't get off your bike Which should have been (don't give up the fight)

My very young DD: Super Trouper beans are going to blind you!

A list just appeared on Fb with commonly misheard song lyrics - it got me thinking. Here are ours - what are yours?

I was sick and tired of everything, when you called me last night from Tesco's (Dancing Queen)

Bicycle hut, Bicycle Hut (My Simple Heart)

Sage and onion, sage an onion (Say that You Love me)

I'm a cigarette, I'm a cigarette (I'm a Single Lady)

Go......

The first one is Super Trooper, not Dancing Queen

Four hundred children and a crop in the field,
You picked the wrong time to leave me Lucille!

Aveline

Four hundred children and a crop in the field,
You picked the wrong time to leave me Lucille!

I can never 'unhear' that!

Lol - of course it is. Dancing Queen came on the radio as I was typing and led me to a senior moment

Taylor Swift
"Got a long of Starbucks lovers"

In I'm a Survivor by Destiny's Child, I'm sure one line was
I'm a bus driver.

Four hundred children and a crop in the field,
You picked the wrong time to leave me Lucille!

Run Lucille, run and don't look back!!! 🏃🏼‍♀️

My friend's daughter when she was small - the song In Zaire about the rumble in the jungle Ali fight.

when I was quite young I was listening and singing along to Dean Martin....instead of Heart warming love..I sang Hot woman love...I was about eight at the time

My small neighbour would sing 'All through my wild days, my magic sixpence' from 'Don't cry for me Argentina.

Don't marry her have me by the beautiful south. I thought it was don't marry her Habean ( and assumed Habean was a name.
Night fever by the Bee Gees, my friend and I thought there was a line, "It's the night for the night bus ride, hurry now and catch it" !

I can't understand lots of words in Bee Gees' songs.

My sister used to sing “and keep away for ever and ever” (and he shall reign…) from the Hallelujah chorus…

I am still not convinced that the Saw Doctors, one of my favourite bands, are not singing about Two Injured Swans.

Then there is Neil Diamond singing about that modern cleric, the Reverend Blue Jeans.

We used to call Annie, I’m Not Your Daddy, the Onomatopoeia song.

I don, I don, I don wanna beya, sounds just like,
Ona, Ona, Onamatopoeia.

I love that 😄 instead of mad existence

When I was very young I insisted the song ‘Greensleeves’ was really Green peas
My DD used to sing ‘Living Dog’ to Cliff Richards’ Living Doll!

I remember a song from the 1960s which began "She's a must to avoid." For ages I thought they were singing "She's a muscular boy."

My old mum loved a song called ‘poetry in motion’ but would sing ‘oh a tree in motion’.
I always thought that the words to ‘when the going gets tough’ sounded like ‘go and get stuffed’
As an earlier poster said, the bee gees often sing unclear lyrics, and I did think that
‘Feel the city breakin and everybody Shakin’ in ‘staying alive’ was really ‘feel the city baking….’
I thought it referred to baking hot weather rather than everyone watching Bake Off 🤣

My old mum loved a song called ‘poetry in motion’ but would sing ‘oh a tree in motion’.

So did mine. 😂
