'You got mud on your face, you big disgrace
Whipping your bladder all over the place.'
Only now did I find out it was...
Wavin your banner all over the place

'Buddy you're an old man, poor man, pleadin' with your eyes, gonna make a zombie some day', on the other hand, is not a line in the song at all. :o
Turns out it's 'gonna make you some peace some day'. :D
For ages I thought that Eiffel 65's Blue (Da ba de de ba di) went 'I'm blue. I was beat up and died'. Felt like a wile eejit when my friend corrected me on it.
You should feel like an eejit for even listening to that song brendy.
Mini raptor used to love the feckin' thing when she was about 18months . every time we'd get into the car all we'd here was "Boo ....Boo" and she'd keep it up till it was put on then about 2 lines from the end she'd have the hands up in the air just waiting and as soon as the last note* sounds she'd be at it again "Boo Boo Boo" hands waving frantically until yet again we'd put it back on. needless to say long journeys were agony.
*if you could call any of the noises on that track a note
Kevin Barry song "who died for liberty"
As a kid I thought this was "who died for liver tea" :o
Gwen Stefani had a song out a few years ago called "Hey Baby". There's a line in it where she sings "Boys say, boys say"...
I had my wife convinced that it was actually a tribute song to Only Fools and Horses and she was singing "Boycie, boycie". :D :D
Best game ever.Quote:

Actually: "What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster?"

Could for the life of me figure out why a bus stop would be coming over a hill/
Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy
Actually: "Smack my bitch up"
What the mrs heard up until 2 months ago: "Smash my picture"
I've never laughed so hard in all my life as when I realised she seriously believed they were the lyrics.
I remember the first time I heard the song Volare, the line "Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu" sounded like "kneedeep in gerbils" etc.
Thought Come on Eileen was Come on Irene the first time I heard it
Googled Come on Irene and found a whole site dedicated to misheard lyrics (this was more than a few years back)
I just remember another example of misheard lyrics for this song was
"Muhammad Ali"
Toto Coelo song "I eat cannibals" - heard my sister in law singing it as "I eat cannon balls".
Hard to digest I'd imagine ;)
The Chinese are going to be so disappointed now.:DQuote:

He heard them (as I do now!);
"Flying high, up in the sky,
We ate the ref last Friday night."
I had to explain that as Derry fans don't need can(niball)s.
He also heard, 'Stand up for the Candystripes,' as, 'Stand up for the Cannisters.'
Did you buy him a hearing aid? :D
In fairness, in a strong Derry accent it can indeed sound like that.Quote:
