Misheard Lyrics

I read an article in the paper today about misheard lyrics, and it mentioned a few well know ones from famous songs. I got me thinking about one I’d misheard myself over the years, as well as a couple that other people told me off.

Mine was that old Johnny Cymbal song “Mr Bass Man”, and when the chorus went……Oh Mr Bass Man…..I wanna be a Bass Man too. For years when I heard that song, I thought the guy was singing

“Oh Mr space Man…….I wanna be a spaceman too”

A mate told me that another mate of his used listen to the old Johhny Tillotson song POETRY IN MOTION……..and when it got to the chorus his mate would actualy sing the words as ……..OH A TREE IN MOTION

Best one I ever heard was a guy who thought the Dire Straits song Money For Nothing song line………Money for nothing and your chicks for free……was actually……..Money for nothing and your chips for free

There’s a good site dedicated to this, it’s called kissthisguy ( see the link below ) and it gets it’s name form the most misheard song lyric of all time……..PURPLE HAZE…….by JIMMY HEDNRIX.

The song line in that goes…………..‘Scuse me while I kiss the sky’ and it’s misheard as ‘Scuse me while I kiss this guy”

Let us hear your misheard lyrics, and give us all a laugh.
