Misheard Song Lyrics

I am sure someone made a thread about this subject before, but have you ever listened to a song and would be singing it for years and not realize you were not singing the correct lyrics?

A good friend of mine mentioned this song "Jungle Fever" by Chakachas. Now, in elementary school you interpret things a lot different than you do as a teenager or adult.
So, his friend Bobby told him that this song was about a lady that was having problems with her eyes.

It was if some person kept sticking a strange object in her eyes and she wasn't having it.



Bobby swore that someone was torturing this poor lady for the entire song was messing with her eyes.

If you got an older sister there is a period where ya'll fight all the time and then ya'll get cool.... I was singing 'gimmie the knife' and my sister, who was riding shotgun while I drove, looked at me like I was a fucking idiot. Then she told me the real lyrics and that shit made so much sense I couldn't do shit but laugh....and couldn't get pissed because was had got cool by then.... That shit was over 30 years ago and I ain't forgot yet...

My mother used to love "Adorn" by Miguel because she thought the chorus was:
"Left my love in Georgia," as opposed to "Let my Lover Adorn you."

Perhaps, but mom was a bit older so I cut her some slack.
It's like the television show "Good Times" came out in 1974 (49:years ago), and many people have seen a few episodes. Now, ask someone to sing the opening theme song (you know there is a line that confuses a good majority of people).

I don't have an older sister, but I have a niece that's close in age. There was a song called "Hot Shot" by Karen Young and for years my nice swore she was saying she needed a "Hot Shower."

Hey I ain't mad at her! :D
 
MJ - Don't Stop Til You Get Enough

I always thought the chorus was, "Keep on with funk stuff....Don't stop til you get enough"
But according to the lyrics on the music app it's, "Keep on with force, don't stop......don't stop til you get enough"
I still don't hear that 1st "don't stop" unless it's a double vocal. :dunno:

I can see that, when the song came out I wasn't sure if I had some of the lyrics correct either?

To this day, if you offered me a million dollars to write down the lyrics to "Wanna be Starting Something" by Michael Jackson you would have to keep your money.

I get lost at the part where he says:
"You're a Vegetable."

Ummm thanks for mentioning that song because I had NO IDEA what it was about until I found a video with the lyrics! :roflmao:

 
A friend told me that his uncle used to love "Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye, but would yell out "Suzy Q, would mean my life you see." As opposed to "Losing you would mean my life you see."

I had to ask him was your uncle sober at the time, he said he thought he was, but it was hard to tell with him.

 
I have come to realize that I did too many drugs as a child. I probably had an addiction to St. Joseph Aspirin for Children and those Flintstones Chewable Vitamins. Probably why I heard this song incorrectly.

I remember hearing "Bad Luck" by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes," and I thought Teddy Pendergrass said "I sat down with my Baby Ruth bar, open it up, open it up."

You reminded me of something. Some recording artists would incorporate other languages into their music. The Moments had a song out entitled "Look at Me I'm in Love," and cut a single in French.

I am sure some of the older guys in the neighborhood would sing this to the girls and impress them. Knowing damn well that some these guys were struggling with English (their first language).

 


I was in the navy in the Philippines at a club called Billboards. all the lil Broads in the clubs were singing (Don't believe the High) :roflmao3: and they meant that shit. Terrible English lil Sexy MFs. They come at you like " hey chocolate me love you long time don't believe the high".

You're right, that part from 1:36 on left me very confused?


It made me think of this scene from "Fear of a Black Hat."
