There's a song I love listening to called The Suffering by Coheed And Cambria... My only issue with it is one line-everytime I hear it i'm thoroughly convinced it says "well burn in hell John Cena" (it's actually "young sinner").It cracks me up everytime-even in the middle of the shop or on the bus...I get very funny looks...

 

Does anybody else have a song that they constantly get the words wrong to?

In Queen's "Save Me" Freddie sings "Everybody wants to put me down, they say, I'm going crazy"...

 

Well, when I were a lad, I would sing "Everybody wants a crocodile, they say, I'm going crazy". Because it sounded a bit like crocodile and you'd have to be crazy to want a crocodile.

In "Girl" on Beck's new album, Guero, the line of the chorus goes:

 

"Hey, my *something* gi-ii-irl"

 

It sounds like "sonar", and even in the lyrics book the word isn't provided.

 

Cheers!

Let's not forget Queen's One Vision - at the end it sounds like they're singing "Fried Chicken", and do you know why? Because they do! They did it as a joke apparently because Freddie was bored of singing "One Vision" so much.

Yup - either check lyric sites, they'll always list the last line as "Fried Chicken".

 

From Wiki:

Another thing that was controversial about this song is why the band sang "Fried chicken" in the end of the song (both the studio and live versions), although the lyrics say "One vision". It was later found out that it was a result of a prank that Freddie Mercury did in the studio, as the band had fried chicken for dinner. It was Freddie's boyfriend, Jim Hutton's, idea to keep it in the song.

Sugababes:

 

Round Round is the song, and it's when they go, "And round and round and round..." it sounds to me as if they're saying, "Jim Briwn, Jim Brown Jim Brown!" :)

In the line in Phish's YEM. I thought they sang "Wash your feets i(that's the Itallian for and, I think) drive me to flroenzi" but really they say "Watch Uffizi drive me to Florenzi" Silly me! I mean honestly, how could I make such a mistake? Edited by Twig

James Blunt, "Those three wise men they've got a...semi by the sea."

 

Semi, bwahahahaha!! :lol

 

(Yes i mean semi erect penis. :P)

 

I had to get my mate to explain the lyrics to me a few weeks ago because I couldn't understand how else the lyrics could be taken.

 

Also my sister used to sing, "Where did you come form/ Where did you go/ Where did you come from/ Diddleyepo?" and thought K-Kwik's lyrics went, "Low down dirty and sneezing/ Wheezing".

Run-DMC's The Kings for DX (found an old WWF album) - the repeated line sounds to me like 'The king of Blackpool/ The king of rock, what?' and it still makes sense!

(Blackpool rock, right? stripey innit? :P)

Saxon's Solid Ball of Rock became Salad Bowl of Rock thanks to one of my many drunken friends...

 

Kings of Leon - The Bucket. The whole song is just beggin' for a misunderstanding :)

Heres a totally stupid one (staying in kayfabe?) in Adam and the Ants Prince Charming, i always thought they said "Prince Charming has chocolate biscuit hair on" remember i was 7 at the time! Whats funny is that isnt even CLOSE to the original line which means i must have just made words up as i went along. As you do when you're a kid!
