Four Hundred Children and a Crop In the Field

Sweet dreams are made of cheese.

"Someone shaved my wife tonight, shaved her bare...."


"so I'm shaving off my muff for you....."

When we were in our tens, my cousin was convinced that Elton's 'electric boobs' were accompanied by 'mohair tubes'... though I couldn't quote figure out what the hell those were supposed to be.

In 1973, I was 10 years old and started buying 45's. One of the first was Photograph by Ringo Starr. It seemed to take forever to find out the real title of the song because I thought Ringo was singing "Boat Of Crap"
A few other misheard lyrics: Someone I knew thought that Abba was singing "Pumpkin' Eye" in SOS and a friend of mine thought Pilot was singing "My D**k" instead of Magic. He also thought that Genesis was singing "Invisible Tool Shed" instead of Invisible Touch.

One that always cracks me up is a co-worker thought the line from the Eagles' "Hotel California" was "what a nice surprise, when you're out of ice...."

You can't imagine how a lot of English spoken song parts sound to the Spanish ears. A lot of parts that sounds like Spanish sentences that have different and funny senses.

Like Smooth Operator by Sade is one of the numerous examples. It sounds like "Es una Porrera" ( grass smoker), and the part Coast to Coast sounds "Costo, costo" ( drug, drug).

Fun thread, pamelajaye.

My offering is the (just pre-AT40) classic from CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" -- misheard as "... there's a bathroom on the right".

My favorite: Groovin' - Rascals

Life would be ecstasy.
You and me and Leslie (endlessly), groovin' ?

Also BTO's recipe for Bacon Carrot Biscuits (Takin' Care of Business)

Take my advice, I'm only trying to screw ya!

Smiling Faces Sometimes.

I had a friend in college at the time who thought Earth, Wind & Fire were singing, "Let's screw tonight", instead of "Let's groove tonight". Being the religious person he was, he hated the song!

I always thought Brad Delp of Boston sang "I don't care about FBI" on Peace Of Mind.

[tarobe]

"Some underworld spy or the wife of a clothespin" ("You're So Vain," Carly Simon)

"I'm a constipated man" ("Loves Me Like a Rock," Paul Simon)

"Playin' your icky romance forever" ("Someone Saved My Life Tonight," Elton John)

"Some p*ssy on the highway would sure feel fine" ("Take It to the Limit," Eagles)

First line of 1981 UK Top 5 hit 'Reward' by Teardrop Explodes is 'Bless my cotton socks I'm in the Nude' (News).

Just let me staple the vicar

I was just a kid. I am not making this up to get a laugh. I could have sworn that the Fifth Dimension were singing

"I want you to sing along with Richard Nixon".

Hey it was only early 1969 and I figured maybe they were cutting the guy some slack. A "first hundred days honeymoon" sort of thing.

Two years earlier, when Mama Cass sang "if you love her then you must send her somewhere where's she's never been before" I thought it was about travel.

After hearing Hooked On A Feeling by Blue Swede on this week's show, I thought of another misheard lyric. I was 11 when this song came out and I thought that they said "Got a fart from you girl" in the song
