My sister and I used to sing the Motown song by Rod Stewart horribly!
I believe that the real lyrics go like this:
Bring over some of your old motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles echo in the alley down below.
We sang it like this:
Bring over some of your old mo-time records
Put the speakers in the window and the phone
Over then we'll listen to the miracles echo in the alley-alley-o.
Here's one I read and forgot about until lately--"I'm mad about you, you're mad about cheesecake". (Thread CPR :) )
From "American Pie" by Don MacLean, The Brady Kids or Madonna.
The correct line is:
"Well I know that you're in love with him 'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym..."
When I was a Kid I used to think it was:
"Well I know that you're in love with him 'cause I saw you dancin' chin to chin..."
My brother always though the Till Tuesday song was saying "Hush, Hush, Keep it down now Mrs Carey"
For years and years "Killer Queen" by Queen was one of my favorite songs...i would sing along with it at home or in the car and for the longest time I had no idea what half of the lyrics were and would just mumble through those parts and fake it...so I thought I'd post the lyrics to the whole song since much of it is fairly unintelligable.
She keeps her Moet & Chandon
In a pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
[CHORUS:]
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable in appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
[CHORUS]
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's all out to get you
[CHORUS]
Recommended at the price
Insatiable in appetite
Wanna try?
Daddio, I'm going to cut out those lyrics and paste them next to my radio :laugh I was mumbling through that song myself just the other day, no kidding.
A friend of mine thought AC/DC's "Who Made Who" was "Fu Manchu". We caught her singing it that way once and never let her live it down. This same person thought that the words in "TNT" (yet more AC/DC) were "oi, oi, oi" instead of "fight, fight, fight". :laugh
:rofl Ok, I admit to wondering who the heck the "Thunderchiefs" were in ACDCs "Dirty Deeds" :lol
In "Undercover Angel" by Alan O'Day, the line is: Undercover angel - midnight fantasy. I thought it was midnight Tennessee. :blush
When I was a kid i misunderstood the meaning of that song...it came out right about the same time as "Charlie's Angels" debut and I thought he was singing about either Farah, Kate or Jaclyn...you know, Angels who work under cover for a living...Quote:

Hey, I was just reaching puberty so give me some slack OK? LOL
i was at a frat party in college when there was this highly intoxicated girl who jumped on the bar and started dancing and singing (very very loudly)- "I WANT TO BE, YOUR BIG STUFFED BIRD"! The song is obviously Beast of Burden by the Rolling Stones... classic...
