Misheard Lyrics.

[Caran]

I still don't know the correct words to Abba's "Super Trouper". I always sing
Super Trouper beans are going to bind me!
What have you misheard?

[Hopkirk]

Creedance Clearwater Revival

"There's the bathroom on the right"

[naomi24]

“Call out the instigator because there's something in the air.
We've got to get together sooner or later because THE RED BALLOON IS here.”

Never could figure out what it meant. :o/

[Buenchico]

I remember my mother telling me that, as a young child, she always assumed that the King liked plums because of the line in the National Anthem that went "Send him Victorias . . . "
;-)

[Sam1960]

Bonnie Tyler ......... Singing about a "Hard Egg" ......!!!

[Jackdaw33]

In 1956 we lived in a flat above a greengrocer's. At the time Doris Day was singing Que Sera, Sera. When it came to the line, "...the future's not ours to see" all I could sing was, "The fruit shop's not ours to see".

[Peter Pedant]

CCR gave up fighting it and occasionally sang that version live, Hopkirk. Hendrix would also sing "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" and snog the bass player.

[Buenchico]

Lots of people, including me, thought that Meghan Trainor was singing "All about that bass, no trouble" until Radio 2's Chris Evans corrected a colleague on air by telling him that she actually sings "no treble".

[Sir Alec]

Similar to Buenchico's, when we sang hymns in infant school, I was convinced that God had a motorbike because we sang Halleluyah, his the Triumph, his the victory alone.
As for a misheard lyric, when I was 18 months old, I always wondered who or what Burdadoo was. My Mum always had the radio on when she baked or did housework and I heard a man singing, "I don't know why I love you Burdadoo"

[hc4361]

Sorry, buenchico, but you're wrong. It's all about the cake, the cake, no trifle

[naomi24]

Sir Alec,// I was convinced that God had a motorbike because we sang Halleluyah, his the Triumph, //

Can't stop laughing. How funny!

[Hopkirk]

I once asked a question on here about the last two words of the Queen song "One Vision" as it sounded like "Fried Chicken" to me.

Apparently it really is "Fried Chicken"

[hc4361]

[cupid04]

Louis Armstrong's What a wonderful world ...one of the lyrics says....dark sacred night....I used to think it was 'and the dogs say goodnight!'

[Arksided]

It is Hopkirk:

Gimme one night, yeah.
Gimme one hope, hey.
Just gimme, ah.
One man, one man,
One bar, one night,
One day, hey, hey.
Just gimme gimme, gimme, gimme
Fried chicken.
Vision [fading]

[Jackdaw33]

The 'technical' term for this is a Mondegreen.

This stems from an old poem which contains the lines, "... they have slain my lord of Atholl and laid him on the green" which was misheard as Lady Mondegreen.
