    Speaking of "Your Opinion" of bad songs,

    most of us have heard the lyrics wrong, and some of it is too funny. 
    My brother-in-law heard "I am woman, hear me roar, as I throw you to the floor"
    My kids heard "Nishimoto runway" (their 5th grade teacher) instead of "get your motor running".
    Do you have any "fractured lyrics" to share?
    Pretty sure we've had this question before, but it's time for an update.

    Paul Davis-- 65 Love Affair


      My high school friend thought he was singing,  Sex Defied Love Affair instead of 65 Love Affair.


     


    Patty Smyth--I Am The Warrior


      We thought she was singing,  I Am The Oreo instead of I Am The Warrior.

    The really weird part is that it made perfectly good sense!

    LOL, Oh Thank you, Fig. Pat B did not seem correct to me but I hadn't heard the song in years and chalked it up to a bad memory.

    Michael Jackson: Smooth Criminal


    I really hear the lyrics wrong. In the beginning he says.......


    "She Ran Underneath The Table
    He Could See She Was Unable"


    I hear..............


    "She Ran Underneath The Table


     Making Sushi with a nable"


    I have no idea what he is saying. The lyrics comes in and out.


    The chores:


    Annie Are You OK
    So, Annie Are You OK
    Are You OK, Annie
    Annie Are You OK
    So, Annie Are You OK
    Are You OK, Annie
    Annie Are You OK
    So, Annie Are You OK
    Are You OK, Annie
    Annie Are You OK
    So, Annie Are You OK,
    Are You OK, Annie

    Instead I hear..........

    Annie Are You Walking

    And what, my good woman, is a "nable"?
    chelleanne

    I have no idea. But that's what I hear!
    Bob/PKB

    Last night, I was at a performance and the musician asked us to sing along. I KNEW I didn't know the right words. So embarrassing.

    How do you think you would have done on the TV game show: Don't Forget The Lyrics. I know I would not have made it out of the first round.
    Bob/PKB

    I would have been out just ahead of you! :0 Just horrible. There is a song with just one word (HEY), and I didn't even know THAT. Cripes.

    Nothing comes to mind right off the bat but I'm sure they will as I try to fall asleep tonight......

    One of the funnest songs ever!

    There are alot of singers these days where you can't hear the words, I don;'t think it's so much a bad song as a bad singer, although there are alot of terrible songs around. I was watching The Voice a few weeks ago and Jessie J described a singer as singing too clear, saying she could hear all the words, what was that about, I like Jessie J but can't agree with that. Now Ollie Murs has a new song out, and you can hear every word clearly. Mind you he is an Essex Boy.

    It's a good song too.
    sunnyB

    Yes Roy ,I agree it's a great song. I like all of his songs, not becuase he cames from just down the road a few miles, but because he is a good singer and a nice bloke.
    ROMOS

    Not a big fan Dave but he does sing some catchy stuff!

    When I was a kid (not a goat) I can remember a song called, 'Funky Nassau".


    I'm not allowed to say what I thought I heard!


    Also Badmoon Rising by Creedence


    I heard; there's a bathroom on the right..


     

    Bob/PKB

    That's what I heard, too

    Ebony & Ivory -- Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson ... That song kinda makes me choke. Yurk, 


     Years ago in my aerobics class, our leader blasted “We are the world. We are the children.” The song had a good purpose and brought in money for hungry children (or some good cause) The problem? As the song played the teacher called a certain row up to be on the stage to “entertain” the rest of the class.


    That’s just what we wanted, of course.... too rounded, dripping perspiration, red faced with mascara running down our faces. It didn’t take our teacher too long to see that the minute she called our a row that the row walked out of the gym into the cool night air.

    Wasn't that Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder,? or am I getting muddled.
    itsmee

    sunnyB: I, myself, am THE muddled one. Michael Jackson would NEVER have performed that song. Thank you.

    'She's a must to avoid' by Herman's Hermits. I thought for a long time they were singing 'She's a muscular boy'. Perhaps they were.

    When I first heard the Pearl Jam song black I heard "...her legs spread out before me like her body once did"  the lyrics they sing is " sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay were laid spread out before me like her body one did" I love the song...just think it's funny how far off my hearing was.
