Even M now is tempted to sing that, "Mom, it REALLY sounds to me like they're singing, "Mazel Tov is all we do."" I spent a few days trying to remember what they were actually singing. I have most of the Goo Goo Dolls songs memorized, at least from that CD. So yesterday, annoyed with some pop song on the car radio, trying to de-stress some, anyway, I popped in this cd, happily singing along. And relented, the second time Stay With You came on, and pulled out the lyrics.
"I'll stay with you. The walls will fall before we do. Take my hand now. We'll run forefer. I can fell the storm inside you. I'll stay with you....."
Big difference, really. ("the walls will fall before we do," lovely sentiment, vice well, the inane thing I could have sworn my ears heard them singing.)
There's a song that I could have sworn sang, "I could do your girlfriends." Not until a radio station had some lyric/song guessing game on, did I learn that the guy was really singing, "Like you do your girlfriends." Oh.
What are YOUR song lyric bloopers?
I've listened to my very own copy of The Best of Talking Heads for years, but Don had to tell me the one song was Sax & Violins, not Sex & Violins. ~ Mary
ReplyDeleteI'm know I have a few but I can't come up with any right now. DH and I were just talking about this other night when one of those new lyrics shows were advertised.

"She's got electric BOOBS" from Elton Johns' Benny & the Jets - of course it's "BOOTS".

I'm always mishearing song lyrics. For years I thought Springsteen was singing, "blinded by the light, revved up like a douche in the corner of the night." It made no sense but I thought that was what it said. I finally found out that the real lyrics were, "blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce and a quarter in the night." It seems that "deuce and a quarter" is slang for a make of car designed by Buick called an Electra 225 (deuce and a quarter)!--Sheria
