Listening to a fairly eclectic collection of music at the moment and "Elektrobank" by the Chemical Brothers came on, which I haven't heard in ages.
A slightly wooly a coffee soaked part of my brain is convinced that the lyrics contain the line "I'm a thighmaster", which would be unusually random even for them.
So what songs have you missheard or any classic moments of publicly singing the wrong lyrics?
I think "Excuse me while I kiss this guy" might become the "Godwin's Law" of this sort of thread
I genuinely used to wonder why, on 'Heal the World', Michael Jackson wanted us to "make it a better place for you and for me and the anti-human race"...
In reply to Reach>Talent: In their trak 'Thick as thieves', Kasabian sing "I give you all the earth's skies". I like to think it's the singer's poor diction rather than my cloth ears, but it was only when I looked this up that I realised they were NOT singing "I gave you all my arse gas".
In reply to Reach>Talent:
This sort of thing used to be more common in the days before CD. Some peoples vinyl was in poor condition and this led to misheard lyrics. Here's a couple of examples:
In reply to Reach>Talent:
There was a Diana Ross one that I was sure said I pee out the wondow (on closer llistening it was peer out the window)
And a Queen one, Look what they've done to Mike Read. (Whatever it was it was not enough)
In reply to Reach>Talent: 1st time I heard Michael Jackson's Beat It I couldn't believe a song with the lyrics "show me hot f#cking" was being played on daytime radio. Turns out it's "showing how funky".
"She keeps a mohican shotgun
In a pretty cabinet..."
I always wondered what a mohican shotgun was and what it had to do with Marie Atoinetter until I read Good Omens where one of the characters is listening to this and wondering who Moet and Chandon are....
