Re: Lyrics you always mis-heard but didn't know it
There's a lyrics site which gives a line from the song "Movie Star" by Harpo ,as:
"So you went to Sweden to me and the birdman" when it should, of course ,be "So you went to Sweden to meet Ingmar Bergman"
I thought that was rather funny when i saw it.

Re: Lyrics you always mis-heard but didn't know it
Amazing how singing something distorts the way people hear the word.
When Elvis Presley sang the German part of Wooden Heart, it sounds like he's singing: "pụssy den, pụssy den, do you skate your name in love?"
Abba's Super Trooper: "I called you last night from Preston" or "Presto" or even "Tesco".
Blondie's Sunday Girl: "Chicken ketchup with a lonely heart".
Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights: "We'd roll and fall in wee".
There was another one, but I have forgotten it.I've everything I need to keep me satisfied
There's nothing you can do to make me change my mind
I'm having so much fun
My lucky number's one
Ah! Oh! Ah! Oh!

Re: Lyrics you always mis-heard but didn't know it
I always thought the lyrics to Games without frontiers by Peter Gabriel where "She's so popular" not "Jeux sans frontieres"
and You sexy thing by Hot chocolate went "I believe In milko"????? when it should've been "I believe in miracles".

Also, Cheryl Baker, Sue Lawley and Jocky Wilson all seem to get honorable mentions via mondegreens.
Speaking of the Jocky [sic] Wilson song by Dexy's Midnight Runners, I thought that they were singing about the Yorkshire TV transmitter "up in Emley Moor"...I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

Re: Lyrics you always mis-heard but didn't know it
That other song that I remember (but briefly forgotten before) was Irene Cara's "Flashdance... What A Feeling".
When she sings "take your passion", it sounds like either "take your pension" or "take your pants off".
And Dionne Warwick's "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" sounds like she used the f-word before singing "cars and pumping gas".I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

I used to think that the Hot Chocolate song was also Milko and not Miracles as well.
In that 1980s Terry's All Gold advert, I thought that were singing: "see the face you love light off, with Terry's All Gold".I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

Just listened to Brown Girl in the Ring from Boney M for the first time in years and I remember when I was younger that I thought they were singing about a "brown girl in the rain".I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

Re: Lyrics you always mis-heard but didn't know it
The Bangles and Manic Monday always spring/sprang to my mind - as when they said "the boss is already there", I was certain they said "Bus" and more so given missing the Train a and "even if I had an Areoplane I'd still not get there on time"!!
