my mother in law always thought Dirty Deeds went "Dirty Knees and the Jungle chief"
ReplyDeleteMy husband swore for years that Dirty Deeds went "Dirty deeds and they're thunder cheese."
ReplyDeleteI hate it when ants blow in the wind. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
I had a friend and work who would always sing "scream my balls off" when No Doubt Spiderwebs was on the radio. The correct lyric was "screen my phone calls". He also sang "Mr. Big Stuff of Love (say what?) to RHCPs "Rollercoaster" - I should never have quit that job!
ReplyDeleteMount yer momma. That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy youngest sang, "I've got shoes, they're made of plywood, and I'm losing the bows" from Grease.
ReplyDeleteMy brother sang Freddie Fender's classic "Wave to Dave and wave to Mike!"
And I used to sing "She's got electric boobs, her mom has 2 . . ."
Ever since our boss let us bring in MP3 players to listen at work I've been keeping records of my coworker's creative singing. These are the two best:
ReplyDeleteMY CHEMICAL ROMANCE - SING
Misheard lyrics: Sing it for the boys, sing it for the girls Every time that you lose it, sing it for the world Sing it from the heart, sing it to your nuts.
Real lyrics: Sing it for the boys, sing it for the girls Every time that you lose it, sing it for the world Sing it from the heart, sing it 'til you're nuts.
YOUNG THE GIANT - Cough Syrup
Misheard lyrics: Life's too short to eat a carrot oh.
Real lyrics: Life's too short to even care at all oh.
You will NEVER convince me that Manfred Mann is not saying douche. Never. I've listened to that song a thousand times and it still sounds like douche. Every. Single. Time.
ReplyDeleteAnd how the hell do you mishear Nine Inch Nails as "I want a duck shaped like a triangle, you give a toaster to Bob"?!? Is that the Raffi version?
Daughter used to sing Kenny Loggins "Don't Fight It" as "Go Pirate".
ReplyDeleteMy sister used to sing "Hang On Sloopy" as "Hang On Stupid." What kind of name is Sloopy anyway?
ReplyDeleteYears ago, when Kenny Rogers was still human, the kids of a co-worker of mine thought that Kenny was singing, "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, four hungry children, a-crapping in the field"......." Real lyrics: four hungry children, a crop in the field. I now picture 4 children crapping in a corn field if I hear that song.
ReplyDeleteKinda makes it hard to enjoy corn on the cob.
DeleteAlthough if you grew up near farms like I did and you know what the older kids did in the cornfields, a little poo is nothing.
