Randomly Lyrical

"Think about a time when you have misheard or misunderstood the lyrics to a song."

Since I'm tired today and not really feeling a writing mood (gasp - the horror) I found an appropriate short prompt from Writing Fix.

The first one that comes to mind is in Sick Cycle Carousel, by Lifehouse. These are the real lyrics;

"If shame had a face, I think it'd kind of look like mine."


I heard?

"I'm shaving her face, I think it'd kind of look like mine."


Heehee. I still love that song, but every time it plays I have a bit of an internal giggle. Another favourite is "Alex the Seal" (aka Our Lips are Sealed) which is made even cuter because I was all of like, three, when I made that up?

Now it's your turn - EVERYONE who lurks here: What is YOUR favourite misheard song lyric?

    Haha good one.

    Theres this song and I'd sing,

    "I only knew how freaky was her face"

    I was thinking, harsh!!!! And then I saw the lyrics were actually,

    "I didn't know heartbreakin' was her case..."

    And we are talking about Michael Jackson, so you know... a mish mash of mumbled words ahoy. NOT MY FAULT!

    I say Alex the Seal too.

    I can't think of a favourite. One that comes to mind is "now I see this pudding you gave me" from Only One. And it spawned all the pictures of Jason holding pudding :D

    "Cheap wine and a 3 day growth" - Cold Chisel

    I heard "Cheap wine and I am feeling gross"

    Makes much more sense

    "excuse me while I kiss this guy" from Jimi Hendrix instead of "excuse me while I kiss the sky"

    ....I have others but that is the only one that comes across at the moment
