Chain My Body To a.....

September 25th 2006 00:01

I remember there was a girl in my year when I was in high school all those years ago when that song - I think it was the Rockmelons - came out with the lyrics - "I won’t let it get me down, change my smile into a frown).
With that particular line “change my smile into a frown” – she was heard to be singing “Chain my body to a plough.”

Here are some of the most commonly misheard lyrics that I've heard of:


Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

The real lyrics - 'Scuse me, while I kiss the sky
Misheard as - 'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy.

Bryan Adam -: Summer Of '69

The real lyrics - Got my first real six string, bought it at the five-and-dime.
Misheard as - Got my first real sex dream, Had it at the five and dime.
- I got my first real sex change

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue

The real lyrics - With the birds I'll share this lonely view.
Misheard as - When the bird shit is all over you


Red Hot Chili Peppers (again) - Can't Stop

The real lyrics - Can't stop the spirits when they need you
Misheard as - Can't stop the ferrets when they need food

Smash Mouth - All Star

The real lyrics - She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an "L" on her forehead.
Misheard as - She was looking kinda dumb with her finger in her bum and the shape of a elf on her forehead.

That's absolute GOLD!!!! I was trying to think of 'misheard' lyrics but the lack of sugar fix is hindering my train of thought! Keep 'em coming!!

here's a few more;
Billy Bragg "I'm more impressionable when my cement is wet" misheard as "I'm more impressionable when my semen is wet"
stone roses "I wanna be adored" m/a "I wanna be a dog"
and my all time fave Bee gees "More than a woman..." m/a "four-legged woman"

That Billy Bragg one is fantastic - almost got me into trouble though when I laughed out loud and my young daughter wanted to know what I was laughing at. 4 legged woman got me off the hook.

I know more - I'm just like you at the moment Ailene - I just can't get them to spring to mind.

4 legged woman indeed! PMSL!

I think these are sometimes called "Lady Mondegreens".

Thanks Adrian, I hadn't heard that term before - there's a few good ones there aren't there.

I especially like the Beatles 'Ticket To Ride' one.....

Actual lyric: "She's got a ticket to ride."
Misheard Lyric:"She's got a chicken to ride."

What the.......!
