Misheard lyric confessions

[eck]

I think this is misheard, it just can't be right: one of those ubiquitous sofa ads starts: "I want a brand new house on an episode of Friends..."
Please can someone tell me what it really says?

It's an episode of Cribs, not Friends. I you don't already know what Cribs is, you probably don't want to!

One that I misheard was Feeling Good by Muse:

Possum in the tree, you know how I feel

and my Mum used to think the Rockafeller Skank went:

right about now, the front's all rubber

Uncle Gibbon

[nutkin]

Remember Me-eee
I'm the one who had your baby drowned



No idea what the real lyrics are, nor indeed what the song was called.

[Wowbagger]

Most of them.

da, thank you so much. I just googled Cribs. You're dead right, I really don't want to know. Friends is bad enough.

Intro to Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes

"I am like , er, smokin' the ganja"

Remember Me-eee
I'm the one who had your baby drowned

"Remember Me. I'm the one who had your babies. Yes I am."

[Woofage]

"Sandown Market" instead of Stand Down Margaret (The Beat)

[clarion]

'Blue blue electric blue: That's the colour of my loo'

David Bowie.

Well, it rhymed better than his version.

[tiermat]

Metal Gnu, is it you?

Mark Bolan et al...

[Robbo5]

Not exactly misheard, but my father convinced me these were the correct words to Handel's "Zadok the Priest"

Zadok got pissed
and weed on the carpet
and we do a song about it,

[Maladict]

"Just an Earth-bound biscuit I."

Uncle Gibbon

"So I dub thee Uncle Gibbon"  ?!

[Greenbank]

"Just an Earth-bound biscuit I."

This prompted me to check as I was sure it was:-

"Just an earth-bound distant cry."

Of course, neither are right

[Quisling]

Sixpence none the richer:

"Strike up the band, watch the fart lice dance"

[rogerzilla]

The classic happy clappy ditty:

"Dance, then, wherever you may be/I am the Lord of the damn settee".

ISTR misheard lyrics are termed "Mondagreens", after the gracious Lady Mondagreen:

Who is mentioned somewhere here:
"Ye hielands and ye lowlands,
Oh whaur ha'e ye been,
They ha'e slain the Earl o' Moray
An' laid him on the green...."

[eck]

A few years ago The Grauniad had a regular piece on misheard lyrics, called "Come
Again?"

My favourite: Tonight I sellotape my glove for you. 

[Mrs Pingu]

Mrs Pingu, Bowie:

The secret life of a reindeer

 

Oooh, I'd forgotten about that one. But he does say 'Arabiaaaaa' in a very mockney way...

and my Mum used to think the Rockafeller Skank went:

right about now, the front's all rubber

someone I used to work with thought it went

right about now, vauxhall brother

[rogerzilla]

In "Hotel California"

Her mind is differently twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz

should actually be

Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends

Bloody stupid puns.

[Palinurus]

Spider man, spider man
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size
Catches fish, catches flies

[tiermat]

Following on from Mr L's one, for years I thought there was a line that went:

Warm smell of Policemen, rising up through the air

In that there song

[rogerzilla]

The Stone Roses' trance-dance classic "I Wanna Be A Dog".
