Lyrics we changed from the original lyrics

[think]

This is a two directional thread:

1. The lyrics that we think they are saying but really they are saying something else

2. Lyrics we make up to add a different meaning to songs on purpose..

an example of the first one is when I always thought there was a bathroom on the right,,, NOT real lyrics "there's a bad moon on the rise?"

an example of the second one is where I and many a person had changed the doors lyrics form come on come on come on and touch me babe to come on and F!@# me babe...

other examples are like Lucy was a hooker with herpes == Lucy in the sky with diamonds an Fz credit given there.

but still does anyone have any others. I will post more when I think of them..

1. The lyrics that we think they are saying but really they are saying something else

Ah. Mondegreens.

Named after Lady Mondegreen.

Ye Highlands and ye Lawlands,
Oh where have you been?
They have slain the Earl O' Moray
And layd him on the green.

 

[thestrangequark]

I was born deaf, and had my hearing restored through a series of about 20 surgeries, the first at 2 years, the last at 12. As a result of my hard-of-hearing, I was notorious for Mondegreens, including but not limited to: You're so lame/You probably think this son is about you, and there's a wino down the road, and of course Beck's I'm a lizard baby, so why don't you kill me?. I found it upsetting that anyone would want to kill lizard babies.

 

[Tom Hendricks]

This is a funny one. When House of Pains "Jump Around" was released there is a part where he says what I though was "I got more rhymes than the Madonna's got songs." To be honest, I only recently learned that it was "I got more rhymes than the bible's got psalms"

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

The Go-Gos' hit song "Alex the Seal".

(i.e. Our Lips Are Sealed)

 

[Zulu Romeo]

What about U2's "Shamu the Mysterious Whale"?

When it comes to misheard lyrics, I actually have the problem not that the lyrics I think are there are wrong, but that I have absolutely no idea what the lyrics are at all. Enya's "Orinoco Flow" was one of the worst early offenders, until I later learned that half the lyrics (no, the other half ) were checklists of descriptions of various rivers and watery places of the world. (It dawned on me that the clue was in the title.)

There were some instances, however, where I heard profanity (no matter ow mild) where there was none, which was pretty funny. I still maintain that Ash, in their song "A Life Less Ordinary" sang in the verse "Put on your dress, wankers."

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

AC/DC: Thirty Thieves and the Thunder Chief

Bachman Turner Overdrive: Baking Carrot Biscuits

 

[think]

So this is the plan we are to take all these misbegotten song replacements and to make something from the mistakes sorta!!

so for our first mishap of music lyrics rewrites we have...
-----------------------
Lame vanity is the son of Santa where the lazy lizard babies of Alex seal thirty rotten thieves and thunder dishes cheep. Psalms of Madonna in tight second places that kiss the guys in the sky excuses of me.
-----------------------

mixed in are some of my mistakes and what I make out of the ones so far.. of course I am still working on sentence structure and grammar here anyone that wants to help feel free

dirty dishes done dirt cheep

I love people who get comedy.

 

[TrickyDickie]

The Irish Rovers' song 'Lily The Pink'. I always thought they were saying "with applications in every case," but it's actually "most efficacious in every case."

Well hey, at least mine makes sense too.

When I was little, I thought people were singing "Hark, The Hairy Angels Sing."

There are others, which I will have to try to remember....

Okay, I've tried to work out what you mean by this, but I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Oh, it's praise, don't worry. That was the perfect end to your mini-story. Getting sucked into the tragedy of being born without hearing, the heartbreak of a child having to endure surgery after surgery and the triumph of a little girl who could now hear... and then dead lizard babies.

I enjoyed it greatly.

this reminds me of the time I was intensely overwhelmed by an artist describing his constructionist works of art in direct terms and analytical statements when I expressed my enjoyment he was baffled and blocked me from his arts. go figure ,,

"Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun"

Little by little the night turns around.
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Lotuses lean on each other in yearning
Under the eaves the swallow is resting

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

Over the mountain watching the watcher.
Breaking the darkness, waking the grapevine.
One inch of love is one inch of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun.

Witness the man who raves at the wall
Making the shape of his questions to Heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening
Will he remember the lesson of giving?

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun.

Thank goodness! I guess I'm just so very tragic that I can't recognize praise without fearing that it's actually sarcasm!

 

[Kail]

I knew a guy who thought "Werewolves of London" was "Where was the thunder?"

 

[Nowhere Man]

"Blinded by the light, wraped up like a douche another motor in the night."

"She's got a chicken to ride."

"Money talks, Beavis walks."

 

[thestrangequark]

"Blinded by the light, wraped up like a douche another motor in the night."

I made that mistake too. The generally douchiness of that crappy song just sealed it for me, and I didn't learn that it was deuce until I was much older.

 

[Itisnotlogical]

Caramelltanzen. A German remix, of a Japanese song that was really the sped-up remix of a slower Swedish song.

...Klatsche in die Hande
Du bist dabei
Spring und fuhle dich frei
Hor zu und lern...

I'll let somebody else take a swing at that one- I don't want to get banned for all the suggestive things I misheard on my first listen

 

[Guitarded]

For those of you familiar with Metallica, or at least "Enter Sandman."

I lol'd heartily.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

"Louie Louie". 'Nuff said.
