"Wrapped Up Like a Douche" And Other Wrong Lyrics

From "Beast of Burden": "All this sickness, I could suck a duck."

"four letter woman" for "more than a woman" by the Bee Gees. :)

When my son was little he heard "Everybody Plays the Fool" as "Everybody plays with food."  That still cracks me up!

He sings "wrapped up like a douche."

Slow it down, watch his lips (in the youtube video).

It's douche. period.

Jimi Hendrix has a line which says, "excuse me while I kiss the Sky." When I was a kid, I always thought the line was, "excuse me while I kiss this guy."

Researching this for some time now - i reckon luck is much more progressive than search engines...

amazing i just have always loved michael and his songs. He was naughty, the world will miss michael

My husband thought ..."the men all paused" in the song by Klymaxx 'Meeting in the Ladies Room' was actually ..."menopause"!

Groovin"

Life would be ecstacyYou and me and Lesley

always wondered who Lesley was??

The most famous of all, of course, are Hendrix's bi-curious "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy" and Elton John's wonderful hit, "Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza."

When I first heard Merle Haggard sing "I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee" I thought he said, "I'm a brain-damaged, gun-fellating, neanderthal who should be anally raped by chimpanses."

You don't want to know how I interpreted God Bless America!

Are you reelin' in the yeast?Stowin' away the tide?Are you gatherin' up the cheese?Have you had enough of mine?

what I heard:"you don't have to say you love me, just because I ask."what they sang:"you don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand."

Part lyrics of the THE GO-GO'S - Our Lips Are Sealed

Hush, my darlingDon't you cryQuiet, angelForget their lies

Can you hear themThey talk about usTelling liesWell, that's no surprise

It doesn't matter what they sayIn the jealous games people playOur lips are sealed

Pay no mind to what they sayIt doesn't matter anywayOur lips are sealed

Our lips are sealedOur lips are sealed___________________________________________

Along with the purity/chastity rings, I'm surprised this ditty didn't become the signature tune and rallying cry for the Christian Girls Abstinence Program.

I was shocked and appalled that these guys were on mainstream AM radio singing: "Wrapped up like a douche..."

I couldn't believe it.

stu stu studio....stu stu studio by Phil Collins

a friend of mine sang a famous Latin song Guantanamera to me as "One ton tomato"

Manfred explained the angle of the head on the tape recorder was in a position so if they tried to correct it the lyrics would disapear. Manfred himself was tierd of the whole long recording process and said we just release it. Record compnay and himself thought it would be non acceptable for the radio stations and dont get any airplay especially in the "American Bible belt" with the vaginal references....but the reason it went to number one on the charts was that everyone bought it to listen if it was douche or duece....

Oldie alertWhen Petula Clark sang "Don't Sleep in the Subway" there was a line that actually is "Take off your cloak, lie down and close the door" I always thought it was "Take off your clothes,lie down and close the door"After all, that was what I always said to Rudy Vallee!!

I don't know why, but in the Temptations song, when Papa died, (Papa who was a Rolling Stone, that is) I thought the lyric ended was "all he left was was a loan" rather than "alone." A loan that they would then have to pay off, and be even more miserable than they were, now that Papa died.

I don't know why I felt like I had to complicate the financial and emotional lives of characters in songs, but ...

I always thought Sade's Smooth Operator was"School for the Red Eye." but I was deeply messed up in the clubs in which I heard that.

(her new song is very nice though -- and not at all confusing.)

The BeeGees "More Than a Woman" as "Bald-Headed Woman." Listen to it and tell me I'm wrong.

Someone I once knew - a Republican - was crushed when I pointed out that Elvis Costello was not singing "What's so fun about peace, love, and understanding" - but rather, "What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding."

Elton John:

"I can see the red tea lights.."

KC and the Sunshine Band's prescient advice on gay marriage: "Keep it common law" ("Keep it comin' love")

Cat Stevens by way of Rod Stewart: "First cousin of Jesus" ("First cut is the deepest")

and Elton's immortal "Hold me closer, Tony Danza" (Tiny Dancer)

And what is she actually singing?

I was convinced for almost a year that the hook in Madge's "Ray of Light" was "and I feel like a disco ball." I've been on those drugs too.

A friend of mine thought that the lyrics to Flashdance went "What a feeling! Take your pants down, and make it happen!"

Should be "take your passion, and make it happen"

As for "Blinded by the Light", apparently someone else thought he was saying "douche". That word was edited out of the song when it played on AM radio - it was covered over with a blast of guitar music.

Actually the correct CCR line is "Hope you're not quite PREPARED to die". After all these years, I'm still hearing it wrong.

Zasu Pitts quoted a line from "Bad Moon Rising". When that song was new, my cousin misheard the following line:

"Hope you got your things togetherHope you're not quite afraid to die."

as "Hope you got your things togetherHope you're not quite the fairy type."

When I was a kid I heard this line from Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues":

"Make me wanna holler"

as "Make me go to Harlem."

I've always had trouble with a line from Boston's "More Than a Feeling" which sounds like:

"When I'm tired of drinking Coke."

I still don't know what he's really saying.

"I can see clearly now the rain is gone."

I Can See Clearly Now- Jimmy Cliff

"I can see Claire now Lorraine has gone."- misheard

So OK, can't blame those Aussies, I was totally like, you know, had no clue either of what the Go Gos were going on about, you know?

The Go-Go's - Our Lips Are Sealed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

It is "Puppetance of Love", as in love can turn you into a puppet in the hands of someone you love so much. These lyrics were stolen from a jazz singer, incorrectly, by Steve Miller who use to listen to old time jazz singers. Miller translated it to "pompitance", meaning importance.

It's all about how close one gets to the mic in the studio and how one enunciates certain words while singing. You can either go for raw passion or reign it in and go for enunciation. I hate windscreens, they make me back up from the mic and I also think they screen out some nuance from the vocals.

I don't care anymore what you say

This is my wife....

My partner thought "I'll never be your beast of burden," was "I'll never be your pizza burnin'."

Either way - these are things I'll never be.

For the first year I heard it, Til Tuesday's "Voices Carry" was "Hush hush, keep it down now, This is scary!"

When I was a kid, Deep Purple had a song called "Smoke on the Water" - I always thought the lyrics were "Slow coming down, girl" - which makes no sense - at least to a kid.

Alice Cooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy" - when he sings "I helped the blind to see" I thought he was saying "I helped her fly the scene"

Elton John's Daniel - "Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky" - I could never make this out - it sounded like "Daniel you're a star, in the faffle de sky"

I thought the Go-Gos were singing, not "Alex the Seal" but "s'long as I see you"

Any wonder I've been to the ear doctor?

Go here. Funny.

In West Side Story, it sounds like "capuccino" but it's "Send for Chino."

I always heard "Wrapped up by a douche" too! NOW I understand - "revved up like a deuce" describes a two-barrel carbuerator, like the Beach Boys "Little Douche Coupe."

"Alex the Seal." I'm dyin here!!!

There's a good story behind the "Puppetude of Love" Look it up under that spelling.

"I don't know what a pompatice(sic) of love is but I'll take three to go!!"Actually according to Wikipedia, the word POMPATUS is made up. Used in a Steve Miller song" The Joker"

I don't know what a pompatice of love is but I'll take three to go!!

What exactly is a "pompatice of love"?

Another one:

With Lady Gaga's "Poker Face," I always thought she was singing "cutie pie..cutie pie..." but it's "can't read my...can't read my..."

LOL....Alex the Seal!!!

Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's said that when they played Australia the crowd was singing along and they were all: "Pay no mind to what they say, doesn't matter anyway, oh oh oh...Alex the Seal!"

I always heard CCR's immortal line "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise" as "There's a Bathroom on the Right!"and just when I needed one so badly. (God, I hate wearing Depends)
