A few years ago I bought Ray a book that had listed a bunch of commonly misheard lyrics, like Hendrix "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy" and we were talking about some of them earlier (When Ray used to play in the band, his brother thought Steven Tylers "Dude looks like a lady" was "Do me like a lady" lol)
Anyhow...I was just looking online and found a few that are pretty hilarious.
Top 10 from Trendhunter:
The Police “When The World Is Running Down” - “You make the best of what’s still around.”
Misheard as ”You make the best homemade stew around.”
The Bee Gees “Staying Alive” - “It’s alright. It’s okay. You may look the other way.”
Misheard as “It’s alright. It’s okay. You may make love the other way.”
Beatles “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” - “The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.”
Misheard as “The girl with colitis goes by”.
U2 “Mysterious Ways” - “She moves in mysterious ways.”
Misheard as “Shamu the mysterious whale.”
Beatles “Michelle” - “Michelle ma belle, sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble.”
Non French speakers heard “Michelle ma belle, some say monkeys play piano well, play piano well.”
Queen “Bohemian Rhapsody” - “Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the Fandango.”
Misheard as “Scallaboosh, Scallaboosh, will you do the banned tango.”
The Police “Message In A Bottle” - ”A year has passed since I wrote my note.”
Misheard as “A year has passed since I broke my nose.”
David Bowie “Changes" - “Strange fascination fascinating me.”
Misheard as “Strange vaccinations are killing me.”
Oasis “Wonderwall” - “You’re gonna be the one that saves me.”
Misheard as “You’re gonna be the one at Sainsbury’s.”
Kate Bush “Wuthering Heights” - “Heathcliff! It’s me, Cathy and I’ve come home oh, so cold, let me in-a your window.”
Misheard as “It’s me; I’m a tree, I’m a wombat. Oh, so cold at the end of your winter.”
lolup: I'm a tree, I'm a wombat)
And a couple more
"Here we are now, in containers." (Real lyric: "Here we are now, entertain us," Nirvana)
"In a glob of Velveeta, honey." (Real lyric: "In-A-Gadda Da Vida," Iron Butterfly)
"Might as well face it, you're a dick with a glove." (Real lyric:"Might as well face it, your addicted to love," Robert Palmer)
"There's a bathroom on the right." (Real lyric "There's a bad moon on the rise," CCR)
And to round it off, here's an awesome video of Joe Cocker at Woodstock, someone has subtitled it with what it 'sounds' like he's singing. This is awesome, it still cracks me up.
