misunderstood lyrics

[carnation]

There's an old song called "Secret Agent Man" and I thought they were saying "Secret Asian Man"! My best friend, who was Chinese, and I never could figure out how a man could secretly be Asian.

[tinydancer]

And don't forget Elton John's

"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
By the dark sorority house"

(i like that better than "where the dogs of society howl)

Actually, it's Johnny Kemp's "Just Got Paid" (originally) BOY do I feel old....

and, even though we knew the lyrics, we always changed it to "Just Got Laid" anyway.

tinydancer, ROFL about the dark sorority house.

I thought of another one, my French teacher was scandalized by the Foreigner song "Urgent." She thought they were saying "Virgin! Virgin!"

He's actually saying "you're a vegetable...". See, we should have known back then that MJ was starting to crack up.

OMG, maybe cos its 4:50 am, but this thread is so cracking me up... I have tears in my eyes!!!

"Shes got a ticket to ride" (Beatles) real lyrics

Me, age something or other young: "Shes got a chicken to ride"

"All you need is love" (Beatles) real lyrics

Me, again, pretty young: "All you need is gloves"

yea... thats all I can think of.

OOh

Funny, Chumbawumba, the tubthumping song....
This was on the radio... someone thought that the lyrics were:
"I got no job, but Im an opera fan"

and not:

"I get knocked down, but I get up again"

...and Andy Dick grew up 5 min from me... the things you learn on the radio!!! PLUS our radio station hazes their interns! They sent one through the carwash today... *sigh*

This girl I work with used to sing Madonna's "Music" as:

Music, makes the people, come together
Music, makes the bushwacker Barney Rubble

LOL, I said to her, you can't believe that those are the words! She said, why not!

It really says

Music, makes the bourgeiosie and the rebel.

She also sings Paul Simon's "Call Me Al"

"I can call you ready, and ready when you call me you can call me Al."

LOL, this thread rocks!

"Ladies leave your man at home, the club is full of ballers and their c**k is full-grown...."

What the heck are they really saying there?

LOL! I'm probably not right either, but I always heard it as "and their pockets full grown" But, like, what sense does THAT make?

Their "pockets full grown" means that they are large...in other words, they have a lot of money.

There is a Credence (sp?) Clearwater Revival song where one lyric is "There's a bad moon on the rise", but it sounds like "There's a bathroom on the right".

Also, my mom always thought that "Secret Agent Man" was "Secret Asian Man". In that song, she also thought the line "Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow" was "Awsaw, you won't live to see tomorrow", like Awsaw was the guy's name!

The other day, I was belting out Marky-Mark's "Good Vibrations". I thought the lyrics were, "It's just your good vibrations, it's just you're sweeeeeeeet sexy song..."
My roomie started cracking up and it explained to me that the lyrics were, "it's just you're sweet sensation."
