Misheard Song Lyrics

[Aww Skeet Skeet!]

"On Blackgirl Online/
Mrs Bullet be on my mind/
Smash that kitty like I was King Kong/
She on my mind, like/
Give it here, and don't say nothing/
Just, give it here (Ho), and don't say nothing/

Hit the game room next/
Get the blunt and roll that/
Bullet in the bathroom, right? then umm...cut the check!/
And Give it here, and don't say nothing/
Give it here (Ho), and don't say nothing/
"

 

[Heavenlywings77]

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."

Yooooooooooooooo!!! Watching this film later today

"Play that fucking music white boy" but it's actually "Play that funky music white boy".

 

[the artist]

We used to laugh and say that "Gonna love you more each day" sounded like "Gonna love you Morris Day" in "The lady in my life".

 

[woodchuck]

The younger sister of a friend of mine was riding in the backseat when "Bad Mamma Jamma" came on the radio. The minute the singing starts, she starts yelling, "She wears Batman pajamas!" To this day, I can't unhear that when that song comes on.

 

[tallblacknyc]

30 hours kanye song



Most people think the person saying 30 hours

But he’s saying where the islands girl/go ( something like that)

 

[Texas Catdaddy]

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).

and Chappelle set us straight .....

 

[Lurk Diggler]

Yooooooooooooooo!!! Watching this film later today

Lmao that movie is criminally slept on. so many quotables. “When you take that bus you get there”
They say you gotta watch out for the quiet ones. “And if you notice, I ain’t said shit for a few minutes…”

 

[TimRock]

LL and Boyz 2 Men - Hey Lover
For years I thought it started "it was all a mental ruckus". Found out years later its actually "it was Harlem at the Ruckers"

 

[Piff Henderson]

"Broke my sacrofiliac" For years I didn't know what the fuck that meant until I discovered he said "sacroiliac."

 

[ThaBurgerPimp]

Towards the end of the song i thought he said "Gotta get that PROVOLONE.."

 

[WattDogs]

Towards the end of the song i thought he said "Gotta get that PROVOLONE.."

Greatest start to a music video EVER!

My man just slid the fuck in & starting singing. Fuck the rookie newness, I'm that nigga right now!

"Kissing like a baandit, stealing time/underneath a sycamore tree....."

Speaking of misheard lyrics, everybody gets what he says in the second verse wrong.

Hugging like a monkey-see, monkey-do/
Right beside a riverboat gambler/
Erotic images flow through my head/
Said you wanna be a midnight rambler/
Quickly, but quickly/
The blood races through my veins/
Quickly, loudly/
I wanna hear the sugar bells ring

My cousin Van used to tease me because she felt I should be fluent in Spanish. Nevertheless, I was listening to "Oye Como Va," by Santana, and it occurred to me that I don't really know the lyrics.

To exacerbate the situation, they are singing about a black woman.

Santana - Oye cómo va (English translation)

Santana - Oye cómo va lyrics (Spanish) + English translation: Rrr, feel it! /

lyricstranslate.com

What does Mulata mean in Oye Como Va?

Santana's “Oye Como Va” lyrics, translated to English. The lyrics are so simple, and there isn't much to them. Santana is just telling us to listen and enjoy his wonderful rhythm, which we do. The word mulatta (“mulata” in Spanish) is referring to a mixed race woman, who is brought to mind dancing right along with us.Dec 19, 2021

 

[Lexx Diamond]

I was 9 or 10 when this song came out. I thought he was saying "Count your blessing".

​

 

[Man_Of_STeeL]

i was terrible at understandin' lyrics as a kid...

i would either sing the lyrics incorrectly...or i'd sing them correctly in front of my family but not understand the meaning...

case in point...i was singin' Ginuwine's "Pony"....

And i thought he was sayin' "If you're on it...let's do it...ride it..my pony"...

made sense to me...he's singin' about a girl being on his pony and it even rhymed kinda...so I thought that's what he was sayin'...

then i was singin' it in front of my cousin...and he laughed..was like "that's not what he's sayin'"...



I'm just a bachelor
I'm looking for a partner
Someone who knows how to ride
Without even falling off
Gotta be compatible
Takes me to my limits
Girl when I break you off
I promise that you won't want to get off

If you're horny let's do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it
If you're horny let's do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it

Sitting here flossing
Peepin' your steelo
Just once if I have the chance
The things I would do to you
You and your body
Every single portion
Send chills up and down your spine
Juices flowing down your thigh

If you're horny let's do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it
If you're horny let's do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it

If we're gonna get nasty baby
First we'll show and tell
'Till I reach your pony tail

Oh
Lurk all over and through you baby
Until we reach the stream
You'll be on my jockey team

Oh
If you're horny, let's do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it

If you're horny let's do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it

If your horny let's do it
Ride it my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it
If your horny let's do it
Ride it my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it

If your horny let's do it
Ride it my pony
My saddle's waiting
Come and jump on it

Otis Redding - White Christmas



First time I heard this song as a kid...Instead of sayin' "May your days" i thought he was sayin' "Mayonaise"

I can actually see how and why you thought that.

 

[Darkness's]

This is where it comes from

ma ma se ma ma sa ma ma coo sa
ma ma se ma ma sa ma ma coo sa

 

[ThaBurgerPimp]

If you're on it...let's do it...

I thought it was"Jump on it,lets do it"

 

[bgbtylvr]

Great thread.

 

[Darkness's]

Up until recent I've often gotten the lyrics to gap band's "early in the moy" wrong. I used to think they were saying" though I loved you ten years ago" they were actually saying " I didn't know I loved you 'til you were gone."

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.

That's the one right there! I was in my forties before I found out he wasn't saying "Keep on to the bus stop!"

 

[Princenubian]

A very close female friend thought that on "Kiss" by Prince that he was saying:
"I just want your lips, your tongue and your kiss."
As opposed to: "I just want your extra time and your kiss."

Carry on….

I'm sure I made this mistake. It's how he pronounces "horny" (hor-nay).

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.

Not sure how anybody could mishear this song as the chick is speaking/singing in Spanish. BTW, a Belgian group.

Anyway, they're called Mondegreens and their history is fascinating.

A famous one is Jimi's Purple Haze - "'scuse me while I zip my fly?" Oh, dear.

There are many, many others. My favorite one is one I had twisted for fucking decades: The Rascals - Groovin'. The lyric I heard was "you and me AND LESLIE" and I always thought Leslie was some chick Fe or Eddie were dating.
Turns out the lyric is "you and me ENDLESSLY." lol.

[Database Error]

You couldn't tell five year old me that they weren't saying "it's just another man named Monday".

Heard this joint again last week after all of these years like what the fuck!?

 

[WattDogs]

I thought it was"Jump on it,lets do it"

What makes it worse is that's actually what he says....on the edited version of the song.

 

[Mello Mello]

For years I would sing 'gimmie the knife' when it was 'gimmie the night'
George Benson

Black Air Force energy

“Im bout to whip his ass and take all his cash, just gimme the knife”

If this is the case, why'd he pay Manu DiBango for using his lyrics?
