10 WEIRDEST MISHEARD LYRICS OF ALL TIME

We’ve all been there. Happily singing along to a song with our friends, until you notice that they’re all staring at you in disbelief. “Nick,” they say, “Do you really think this city was built on Sausage Rolls? Because it’s actually “We built this city on Rock n’ Roll.”” Oh the shame. The embarrassment! But I’m here to say, Everyone mishears lyrics from time to time. So much so that there’s even a term for it. A Mondegreen. Writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in 1954 after hearing the line “layd him on the green” in a Scottish ballad as “Lady Mondegreen.” And Mondegreens have been ever present in pop music since. I’m nostalgic Nick for Doyouremember and today we’re going to be taking a look at some of the most ridiculously misheard lyrics in music history. I’ll say this slowly as to avoid A Mondegreen.

When my daughter was like 5 she was playing in her room and singing. I was in the kitchen listening. She was singing the theme to the golden girls and when she got to the the line that says, "and the card attached would say thank you for being a friend" she sang, "and the heart attacks would say thank you for being a friend". When i finally stopped laughing I asked her, Why do you think the lyrics go like that? her response, "because they're old and about to have heart attacks" Even today all I have to do is Hum the golden girls and we cant stop laughing.

I saw Fogerty in concert a few years ago in L.A. He intentionally sang, "There's a bathroom on the right, " while pointing to the right.

When I first heard "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers when I was a kid, I mistook the line "four hungry children" for "four hundred children" and then thought, well no wonder Lucille left! LOL

[bobblowhard]

Sometimes, it's not just lyrics that are mis-heard, but band names. An old client of mine, for years, thought the band "Hall and Oates" was "Haulin' Oats".

A good friend was convinced for years that The Ants Are My Friends, They're Blowin' In The Wind. Thanks for this, it was a fun video!

A friend of mine loved to sing along with the radio in our cars. Both of us would be singing at the top of our lungs having a ball and Aerosmith comes on "Dude looks like a lady" and I heard him sing "Do me like a lady". I never laughed so hard in my life.

[ziggystardog]

My favorite was Neil Diamond’s hit, “Reverend Blue Jeans”. Then again I grew up with Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans, so it made more sense than “forever in blue jeans”.

[timmorrow]

"The girl with colitis goes by" Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes", one of my favorites.

[Wardads]

"Clarence to the left of me, Joe sits to the right here I am stuck in the middle with you " apologies to stealers wheel.

Back in the seventies my friend told me she had heard a new Lionel Ritchie song and that she couldn't believe he was singing about being in love with his cousin. We are from Alabama as is Mr. Ritchie and hear the "you date your cousin" thing too much so she was really ticked off at him about this song. I asked her what it said and she said "We're once, twice, three times related, but I love you". I almost rolled in the floor laughing. The song is Three Times a Lady. I still sing it her way when I hear it.

[merilynnzimmerman]

My grandson sang: “We are family, even though your fatter than me.”Now we all sing it that way.

[louisbecker]

Journey- Any Way You Want It:
"She loves to move
She loves to groove
She loves eleven things"

I once heard a child in a store singing a Barry Manilow song....”looks like tomatoes”. I still think of it and laugh.

After hearing Simon & Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" my five-year old turned to me and said, "They never say if Parsley saved Rosemary in time" 30 years ago and we still laugh about this ... Oh yeah ... when she moved out and bought her first home she adopted a cat and named him Parsley ....
