Songs You Messed Up The Words To (1 Viewer)

[Trace Downing]

I always forgot what The Crash Test Dummies were saying when the song wasn't on, I always thought it was...
"She...had...stretch marks all over her body."
Another from Enigma...
female: "Sad, de moi."
monks chanting: "No problem", do-do-di-dooo.
"She want some whiskey pomade."
I made my girlfriend pissed because I changed the words to Janet Jackson in the car...
"Because of Love, I knit a sweater. Because of Love, my pussy's wetter."
We don't talk anymore.

ELO's "Evil Woman" misheard as "Medieval Woman";
Paul Anka's "Nothing Stronger Than Our Love" misheard as "I believe there's nothing stronger than Allah."

It was only last year that I learned that Steeley Dan's "Hey 19" contained a drug reference. I thought "...fine Columbian..." was "fine-toned ambience..."
I know, I know. I'm the world's biggest square. But, as Huey Lewis says, "...it's blip two scream 'where'."

Well , until last summer I thought Macy Gray sang :
" I wear goggles when you are not here "

How about "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival:
"There's a bathroom on the right."

How about "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival:
"There's a bathroom on the right."

As a little bit of trivia, this was a common mistake made by fans of the song. Upon hearing this, John Fogerty played word games with the audience and actually inserted this into his live performances. This little bit of trivia is substantiated by his performance of Bad Moon on the CD, "Premonition", a live recording of one of his performances (which by the way is the 2nd greatest live CD ever made). I've heard this myself, and he actually says "There's a bathroom on the right."

I too was sure that Kenny Loggins sang "I went to the danger zone", not "Highway to..."... until I read this thread.
Otherwise, I am so bad at remembering lyrics that I can't even remember them wrong.

Dome, thanks for sharing that bit of trivia. That's a riot! I am going to have to get the Premonition disc just to hear "Bad Moon Rising". Of course, it helps that I like Fogerty as a solo artist and CCR.

Many years ago, when Beck's "Loser" came out (a song I never cared for), the local radio station had some deal where if you were caller #9 or some such thing and sang part of the song, they'd give you the CD.
Some girl called in and sang:
"Soar over Canada, I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?"
I have no idea what the first part of the song says (nor do I really care), but I'm pretty certain it isn't "Soar over Canada" ... half the city had a good laugh at that poor girl's expense.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you do criticize them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
