Misheard Lryics

[norrahe]

The song is playing in the background, you're not paying much heed to the content, what lyrics do you often mishear?

My starters for 10 are

"she's so popular" for Jeux sans frontiers - Games without frontiers - Peter Gabriel

"eating trifle" for Eton Rifles - Eton Rifles - The Jam

and Mr N's contribution:

"Sue Lawley" for so Lonely - So Lonely - The Police

[Drewster]

"she's so funky yeah!" for Jeux sans frontiers - Games without frontiers - Peter Gabriel

[RichardCranium]

"Are we human? Or are we hamsters?"

I know what the lyrics really are, but the tape in my head suddenly kicks in at a higher volume and over-writes what my ears hear. Just as it does with:

"Alice? Alice? Who the f*** is Alice?

[Cliphead]

Purple Haze

'excuse me while I kiss this guy'

Is actually

'excuse me while I kiss the sky'

[TestMangler]

First line of "I don't like Mondays"

The silicon chip and cider head........

"she's so popular" for Jeux sans frontiers - Games without frontiers - Peter Gabriel

Seriously it's not "she's so popular?".

'excuse me while I kiss this guy'

I was going to say that one. And I was watching an episode of Firefly on DVD last night, and that's got the same thing in the title song: "you can't take this guy from me".

I remember Hot Chocolate singing "I believe in Milko" many years ago...

"You're the Wizard of Oz" instead of "You're the one that I want" from Olivia Newton John & John Travolta.

My youngest son, whilst a 4-year-old, thought that Gabrielle and East 17 in "If you ever" were singing "You must be Shaun the Sheep" instead of "You must be sure that she".

It always sounded like "I believe in knockers" to me....
