For a long time, the song "jessie" by joshua kadison annoyed me -

the lines

from a phone booth in vegas

jessie called to find me in

because of course when he picked up the phone, she found him in, but she might have rung a hundred times before that and he was out every time.........

later i found out that the lyrics were actually

jessie called at 5 a.m



that makes more sense..................

The Pretenders, "Brass in Pocket"

Wrong lyric: Gonna use my sausage

Right lyric: Gonna use my sidestep

"Blowin' in the Wind"

Wrong lyric: The ants are my friend, they're blowin' in the wind Right lyric: The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind



Robert Palmer: Addicted To Love

The real lyrics were:

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.

But I misheard them as:

Might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove.

laughing out loud, chezzie, glad it's not just me.

Before we had internet back in the 80's, and could easily check these things out, there was a song by altered images.

For the longest time i wondered who this "Harvey Bumpstead" was that they kept singing about. Then i discovered they were actually singing "happy birthday">

hah hah im singing that in my head now and your right.

Theirs a new one by the Kooks called Naive

This is the correct line

I know, she knows that i'm not fond of asking

True or false, it may be... Well, she's still out to get me.

But I thought he was saying

I know, she knows that i'm not from the Roskin



you listen

I can't listen to it on this computer unfortunately.

I just wonder how many lyrics I am happily singing along to without having a clue that they are wrong............

and meatloaf/cher dead ringer, so many mistakes when listening to it, it's the accents -

the funniest part -

I'm looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction

I wanna tell my daddy i'll be missing in action.

You listen to it - i thought it was -

I'm looking for a night, I want to feed my satisfaction

I want to tell my daddy i've been kissed in the ass!

rolling on the floor laughing!

From the same song -

i don't have to listen to your whimpering talk =-

i heard - i dont have to listen to you when we get home.

And what does Elton say in Rocket Man?

This is what I hear:

And I think it’s going to be a long long time

Til touch down comes around again to find

I not the man they think I am at home

No no no no

I’m a Rocket Man

Rocket man

Bla bla bla bla bla

Bla bla bla bla?????? (What the hell is this line?)

was it this line

The real lyrics were:

Rocket Man, burning out his fuse up here alone

But I misheard them as:

Rocket Man, burning out in New York, hair is long.

Wow, I thought it was burining out something with Hisbula, but now that makes a lot more sense.

i thought it was -

burning out a can of xxx alone - I always thought it was some kind of food he was going to eat.Couldn't work out what it was a can of though.

uh, guess i was wrong.That's kind of killed my little fantasy of him having a little portable barbecue on his rocket.

Jumping Jack Flash, The Rolling Stones

"I was born in a cross-fire hurricane" sounded to me like "I was boned by a crotch-fed burning cane". I realize this makes no sense, but that entire song is nigh-on indecipherable to me. :rolleyes:
