and hilarious misheard lyrics in music
sorry lyric police what are the words
for this list we’ve chosen five of the
most popular misheard lyrics based on
their pop culture recognition or
acknowledgement by the artists
themselves we’ve also chosen five other
hilarious misheard lyrics that we wish
were the real thing
number 10 Africa by Toto misheard
real
though the actual lyrics of Africa are
more spiritual in tone it isn’t hard to
see why people have hilariously misheard
what todos David Paich is singing on the
track after all if you’re missing your
brain it certainly makes sense that it’s
going to take some time to do things
never hats especially if you’re
frightened
number nine losing my religion by REM
misheard that’s me in the corner
in the spa
real that’s me in the corner
in the spa
who knew that spirituality and bodily
functions could equal chart success for
these alternative rockers okay so
Michael Stipe has said the song is
actually about unrequited love but
either way here’s hoping you’re always
able to find a bathroom when the need
arises and that you don’t ever feel the
compulsion to sing about it in public
number eight dancing queen by ABBA miss
her
taking
a real
while feeling the beat from the
tangerine is there a better way to have
the time of your life than to kick down
a dancing queen and watch your screen
apparently more than a few fans think
the Swedish pop group is singing about
just that while we’re not condoning
violence in any way you gotta admit that
such dark lyrics and an upbeat disco
song would make quite an unexpected but
your scene
number seven paranoid by Black Sabbath
misheard
real
with heavy metal blamed for various
societal evils and with controversy
surrounding the Prince of Darkness
wherever he goes people probably didn’t
think it was out of character for him to
be encouraging suicide in Black
Sabbath’s paranoid though these
interpretations of his music were later
reinforced by lawsuits that blamed his
lyrics for two youth suicides Ozzy
Osbourne has since set the record
straight about the track
I said I’d sing in that song I tell you
to enjoy life not end your life number
six every time you go away by Paul Young
originally by halle notes misheard
real
you go Oh
you take
Paul Young took the halle notes tuned to
the top of the charts in 1985 and made
sure that carnivores around the world
didn’t go hungry with this simple
reminder all right so this is actually a
love song and the real lyrics ask the
subject to take a piece of me but you
never know when a good piece of meat
just might come in handy
number five bad moon rising by Creedence
Clearwater Revival misheard
real as the world inches closer to its
end making sure you know where the
closest bathroom is seems to be a major
priority for John Fogerty at least
that’s what many see see our fans think
the singer is talking about in their top
to hit this miss hearing has become so
common that Fogerty has even taken to
singing it during live performances
number four
blinded by the light by manfred Mann’s
Earth Band originally by Bruce
Springsteen misheard real life when
manfred Mann’s Earth Band covered Bruce
Springsteen’s track the group gave the
boss his only chart-topper as a
songwriter however this version contains
some changes that resulted in a feminine
hygiene product getting some serious
airtime in the process we often confused
lyrics were even the subject of a comedy
skit on the vacant lot
blended by a line held up like aloof by
the foreigner
what the hell is that that song blinded
by the light
number three beasts of burden by the
Rolling Stones misheard real is the way
to a woman’s heart through her stomach
stones fans seem to think so maybe
they’re onto something here after all
who doesn’t like a good slice of pizza
after you’ve made some sweet love number
2 tiny dancer by Elton John misheard
real
are you sure yes I’m sure I mean I never
even met Elton John though the electric
boots and mohair suits and Elton John’s
Bennie and the Jets have been the
subject of several mondegreen
it’s actually tiny dancer that continues
to pervade pop culture while the song
came out years before Tony danza’s
acting debut that hasn’t stopped people
from thinking Sir Elton was declaring
his love for the who’s the boss star
both Will and Grace and friends have
played with this idea hold me close
young Tony Danza number one Purple Haze
by Jimi Hendrix miss her excuse me while
I kiss this guy real excuse me while I
kiss this guy by the time the Jimi
Hendrix Experience released Purple Haze
it was well known that Jimi Hendrix was
no stranger to drugs add the fact that
the title is another name for LSD and
maybe it wasn’t so strange after all
that people thought Hendrix was
expressing some homosexual tendencies
the electric guitarist didn’t take
offense and even sang this version in
concert excuse me while I kiss this guy
