    Misheard song lyrics

    This is pretty funny. Especially the AC/DC one

      Until a couple of weeks ago I assumed this verse of Bohemian Rhapsody....

      Bismillah, no we will not let you go, let him go
      Bismillah, we will not let you go, let him go
      Bismillah, we will not let you go, let me go


      Was...

      "Mitch Miller, no we will not let you go, let him go
      Mitch Miller, we will not let you go, let him go
      Mitch Miller, we will not let you go, let me go."

      I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the long-time head of Columbia Records A&R Deptartment should be so desperately missed. But TBH I didn't spend much time thinking about it either.

          A mate once loudly sang along to Bo Rhap (as da kidz call it)

          "Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard"

              From Dancing In The Dark "Here's a joke...here's some wine...it's on me."

              Rather than "There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me."

                First time I heard ABC's "When Smokey Sings", instead of "When Smokey sings, I hear Violins" I thought they were singing "When Smoke Descends, I fear Violence".

                  No one should be laughed at for mishearing song lyrics. No one. And then prodded about it. And reminded of it every now and then. No one. And if someone could get that message to my wife, quietly of course...

                    It was only maybe two years ago that I learned Phil was singing:

                    "Norman Wisdom, Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, good times."

                    And not:

                    "Norman Wisdom, Joey, Joey Deacon, good times."

                      It was only about a decade back that I discovered Bob Smith wasn't singing 'Across the Red Sea / See into a tree' at the start of The Cure's A Forest - a record I'd bought on its release in 1980.

                            I think that was also the title of a Play For Today, or something. About a bus driver in Belfast. Good call.

                              Peter Kaye highlights a few excellent ones in one of his live shows. Well worth watching.

                                        It's only since the song has been included in an advert recently that I have realised that the song "Electric Dreams" includes the line:

                                        We'll always be together, however far it seems

                                        rather than

                                        We'll always be together, whatever pirates deem

                                          Oh,
                                          The taste of your lips
                                          I'm on a ride
                                          You're toxic I'm slippin' under
                                          With a taste of a poison paradise

                                          I'm addicted to glue
                                          And you know that it's Bostik


                                          Not so much "misheard" as "re-written for my own amusement", but hey ho. Nil Desperandum, etc.

                                            There's a fatherland on the horizon

                                            ABBA - Chiquitita
                                            You'll be dancing once again like penguin

                                              Mishearing song lyrics is the default as far as I'm concerned. It's more often a surprise when I get them right.

                                                I always thought it was 'You'll be dancing once again, like an angry hen'

                                                Staying with Abba, the first line of 'Take a chance on me' sounds like, 'If you change your mind, on the first July'
