Misheard Lyrics?

I will listen later :o) Can't do it on my company issue Blackberry which for some unknown reason is not SodaHead friendly :o)!

Actual lyric: Drop like flies and empathize. I heard: Drop your flies and improvise. Green Day:Suffocate. And also Tiny Dancer by Elton John. Every time I hear "Hold me close there Tony Danza"

Tony Danza! You're not the first to say that! It's sooo true!

Everyone in my family has heard it. I think he actually says Tony Danza....

I still only know a handful of the lyrics of Informer by Snow.

Oh yeah, I'd have to look those lyrics up!

Well, lotta rap songs

Ahhh, well like a lot of rock songs, the rap songs aren't known for their diction either!

Blinded By the Light by Manfred Mann. I always thought he said wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night but the lyrics are revved up like a deuce, a runner in the night.

That is a funny one! Here's the Misheard Lyrics Guy's interpretation!

My grandpa always thought the lyrics to "The Wall" were:
"Hey, T-Shirts, leave those kids alone."

Never would have put it that way, but now that you mention it . . . :o)

Purple Haze...

Excuse me while I kiss this guy...

The song is Louie Louie by the Kingsman and I cannot repeat what people often thought it said which was pretty obscene. I don't know to this day whether that was fact or fiction.

I don't think anyone has unlocked the mystery of that song! I think if you can manage the Louie Louie part, it's all good! Fun party song! Thanks!

Love and Theft's "Angel Eyes" when it was sung "her sexy innocence she must be heaven sent" I thought it went "her sexy innocence she must be havin sex"

It was just the way he said "sent"

"In a gadda da vida" by Iron Butterfly

That's a funny one. There's a story behind it. He was supposed to be singing "In The Garden Of Eden" but was too stoned so they left it that way! :o)

Yes, I know. It is also a favorite song of several real life serial killers.

Ironically, the song’s origins are far removed from the crypto-blasphemist metal beast it became. “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” was written by the Iron Butterfly’s lead singer and keyboard player Doug Ingle. Ingle, the son of a church organist, had originally written it as a short little country folk song called “In the Garden of Eden”.

“‘In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida’ was like a country ballad when we first heard it,” says Lee Dorman, “but by the time the band got done with it… well, you can see what happened.” Dorman and Bushy had gone to Ingle’s house to hear this little religio-country track but, as Dorman puts it, “Doug had been up for a day and a half. Plus he had been drinking some wine.”

Interesting . . . learn something new all the time here. Definitely did not know about the serial killer part. Puts a dark spin on it. Thanks for the information . . . :o)

That's why it was the background music in the movie "Manhunter".

2:30 in ?????

You got me! I have no idea. Let's see what Mr. Internet says . . . because we know the internet is always right!

I looked it up one time, it wasn't what it sounded like.

No disrespect to MJ, but I had a hard time singing along with this one too until Chris Cornell covered it!

Bad form responding to my own post, but watching his dance moves make me miss him all the more.

The song Surrender by Cheap Trick didn't make a whole lot of sense to me at first, especially one line in particular. Then I found out it was changed, and the original lyric made sense...

That's funny! I first heard Neil Young's Heart of Gold when I was a kid and I didn't know what a miner for a heart of gold meant. I always thought "minor"!

It wasn't until The Chapelle show that i finally learned the mysterious lyric of the Good Times Theme " Hanging in a Chow Line"

Me too! I knew all the words but that line...

took thirty years for it to be revealed

I like the commercial when different people are singing different lyrics to Elton John's Rocket Man!

As great as Elton John is he had several misheard lyrics Hold me close young Tony Danza instead of hold me closer , tiny dancer

SO TRUE! "Electric Boots, a mohair suit, you know I read it in a magazine . . ." Took the internet to unlock the mystery of Bennie And The Jets! Ha ha!
