Misheard lyric

[turf3]

In CCR's "Bad Moon Rising": "There's a bathroom on the right."
The best part is that when I watched John Fogerty sing the song during a televised concert, I could swear that he sang the "bathroom" version, with a twinkle in his eye.

Fogerty wrote in his autobiography that he sings "Bathroom" about half the time, these days.

 

[turf3]

From Come Together | The Beatles that is the exact lyric. What is the actual lyric supposed to be?

I thought it was "hold you in his arms till you can feel his disease".

 

[Turnaround]

Roy Orbison's "Only Baloney".

 

[JazznFunk]

The Police- Every Breath You Take

"Now my poor heart aches..."

"I'm a pool hall ace!"

Also from The Police, in 'Don't Stand So Close To Me':

"Just like the old man in in that book by Nabokov..."

"Just like the old man in in that big pineapple cart...'

 

[GretschWretch]

Merrilee Rush, "Angel of the Morning": "Just brush my teeth before you leave me"

 

[Iristone]

Where did you read that? It's certainly "armchair"-- a bit of Lennon wordplay.

So it was meant to be? Then I stand corrected, I may have misread that.

Always heard the EJ line "hold me close now tiny dancer" as " hold me closer Tony Danza".

 

[MrAB4003]

...Life could be ecstasy, you and me and Leslie....

I used to think that was the lyrics when I was younger!

 

[MrAB4003]

Always heard the EJ line "hold me close now tiny dancer" as " hold me closer Tony Danza".

Apparently, that's the way is was supposed to be!

Riding in the car with my two older kids once. They were singing "you take a shower" instead of "you keep on shouting" in KISS's Rock and Roll All Night.

Here's another one

 

[FilterFunk]

I thought it was "hold you in his arms till you can feel his disease".

That's what I've always thought.

 

[FilterFunk]

From "Automatic" by the Pointer Sisters:

I heard "All I can manage to push from my lips is a stream of absurdities" as "All I can manage to push from my lips is a stream of obscenities"

 

[FilterFunk]

" Squeeze me , while I kiss this guy "

The "Squeeze me" makes it even funnier!

 

[FilterFunk]

From "Betcha By Golly, Wow" by the Stylistics:

I heard "You're a genie in disguise" as "You're a genie in the skies"

 

[dougjwray]

I thought it was "hold you in his arms till you can feel his disease".

Nope. Definitely "armchair."

 

[FilterFunk]

...Life could be ecstasy, you and me and Leslie....

I'm 63, and up until this very moment I still thought the line was "you and me and Leslie"!

I thought perhaps it was some sort of, shall we say, complicated relationship...

[TeaTime]

RATM - "I'm a brother with a furious mind."

Me, 4 or 5 shows performed before one of the crew asked why I was doing that - "I'm a lover of the furious five." 10 years before Jack Black, so must have been Grandmaster Flash.
