Wrong lyrics

Re: Wrong lyrics

Regarding the Sister Sledge song "Frankie", I wrote a complete parody of the whole thing to sing about my gripes about another boy in my year. In hindsight that was an unkind thing to do really.

Did anyone else parodise a pop song to annoy another person in their year/class whilst at school?

Another classic of mine was Jingle Bells ..."oh what fun it is to ride" became "oh what fun to kiss your eyes"

Re: Wrong lyrics

When you was a child, did you ever completely sing the wrong lyrics to a song but they sounded just like it. (well to you anyway)

I used to love Frankie...Sister sledge and would sing away quite happily

Only i used to sing:

"Oh, how you brought me down - down down. hot dinner was all around, "

When it should of been:

"Oh, how you brought me down - down down. All I did was runnin' around - around.

I loved this song too, and I thought the lyrics were "our dinner was thrown around". Thought they must have been referring to lover's tiffs at meal times!

Celine Dion My Heart will go on... near, far wherever you are, i believe that the HOTDOGS go on..... and also the lyrics of the Madonna song that go 'gonna dress you up in my love', I thought said ' wanna Samson and Delilah'. Hehehe

Re: Wrong lyrics

I remember the single "I.O.U." by Freeez. When I was in the 1st year at secondary school, I tended to sing the chorus as follows:

Freeez, Freeez, Freeez, Freeez, I O U, U,
I sometimes fly.
Freeez, Freeez, Freeez, Freeez, I O U, U,
I sometimes fly.

Someone in my year kept on to me that those words were incorrect, and pointed out to me Freeez is the name of the group.

Re: Wrong lyrics

Me too Fifi, except I thought it was PRAWN SAUSAGES!

A friend once asked me what "mancheerans" are , as in -

"Golden Brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mancheerans"

She was mortified when I told her it was "with my mind she runs"

As a kid I thought the Beatles were swearing when they sang "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da"

Re: Wrong lyrics

In Bohemian Rhapsody where they sing "Spare him his life from these monstrosities", I used to think they were saying "Spare him his life from these warm sausages"!

Re: Wrong lyrics

My sis used to sing 'Hide the guillotine, hide, hide' in the Kids from fame song. Think it should have been 'high fidelity, high, high'

Re: Wrong lyrics

I too thought it was 'four hundred children' I was thinking 'ffs no wonder Lucille did a runner!'
In 'The Police' song 'Material world' it goes 'are spirits in a material world'....I thought he was singing 'upstairs in a material world'.
In Neil Diamond's 'Forever In Blue Jeans' I was convinced he was singing 'for reverend blue jeans'.
This one is embarrassingly recent...in Amy Winehouse's 'Valarie' I thought she was singing 'come on over by the way'...then after a while i thought it was 'come on over via the rail'. I didn't know the name of the song, even if I did, I don't think I'd have copped.

Re: Wrong lyrics

I'm sure you'll all remember Bonnie Tyler's 'It's A Heartache' which started with the immortal line :

'It's a hard egg, nothing but a hard egg'!

Re: Wrong lyrics

They don't care about us - Michael Jackson "everybody dog poo" you can't miss it.

Always - Bon Jovi "This romeo is bleeding, you can see his blood, it's nothing but some PEANUTS". It's there if you listen for it.
