Greg.Bassman Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 What is a song lyric that you have got wrong in the past? To this day, I still question what Eddie Vedder is saying in ‘yellow ledbetter’. I’m not even sure if its english! 00.29-00.35… … when I first heard the song, I swear he was saying ‘on a ceiling, on a porsche, glitter, say’, and thats just 5 seconds of the song! 😆 I think SNL said it best [or not said, as the case appears to be!] 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, perhaps if we keep clear of the peter kay videos for now. They are funny, but we have all seen them 😉. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundfreedom Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The Cult's Edie (ciao baby) Before the advent of the internet and lyrics sites, I always used to think the lyrics were "A wh@re's darling queen Edie". Turns out it's actually "Worhol's darling queen Edie". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was child, I actually believed it. At the time, it made sense to me because the song is called love ‘cats’, and cats get fleas, so go figure! lol 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg.Bassman Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 I should’ve realised that I am not going to be able to un-hear these now! Memories upon memories just out the window lol 😆. I was just listening to all your suggestions on youtube, gleefully anticipating the points, and none have disappointed so far. So funny! 😆 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franticsmurf Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The Police with their reggae/rock ode to a BBC presenter - "Sue Lawley, Sue Lawley, Sue Lawley". Kenny Rogers - "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, four hundred children and a crop in the field". Well, with 400 kids, they could certainly make a dent in that crop. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davepb24 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The line "see the blood flow, watching it shed, up above my head" in Maiden's theme tune always sounded to me like DiAnno was singing "see the butler washing dishes..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) On the other side of the coin, I always assumed that I was singing Tubthumping by Chumbawumba wrong, because there's no way they'd play "P#ssing the night away" on the radio. Would they? 😳 Edited June 2, 2022 by Newfoundfreedom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundfreedom Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 When I was a kid, I thought Mike Reid off the radio invented Fairly Liquid. I genuinely thought the song on the advert said "Hands that do dishes can feel soft as your face, with Mike Reid's Fairy Liquid". 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bay Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 T- Rex, 2nd chorus of 20th century boy sounds more like Robin Hood than rock and roll RHCP - ooh aah, guess you never meant it. That took me ages to get and I still sing ooh aah, kiss your little Muntjac 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
