Other fave mishearders include:
Bicycle Parts (The Three Degrees- My Simple Heart)
The Reverend Blue Jeans (Neil Diamond)
'When the night is cold and dark and I'm legalising sodomy' (Streams Of Whiskey by The Pogues, the actual lyric being 'when I need a light inside of me')
'We live so fast, bullshit bullshit''- Heaven 17 (the actual words are 'motion motion')
'Making love with a seagull' - David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust
'I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram like a Cilla Black fan on a bike' and 'I know somebody somewhere must be tall and a bear' - both from Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
'Shave sheep, bums to the wind, shave sheep, feeding my band, shave sheep, all dance is queer'- Metallica, Of Wolf And Man
'I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghosties' - Bon Jovi, Bed Of Roses
'Speedy's coming, we live in his arse' (it's actually 'you live in his heart') - The Scorpions
'Eat Shit Parlourmaid' - Faith No More, A Small Victory (it's actually 'It shouldn't bother me')
'Shit on my chest' - Soundgarden, Fell On Black Days (it's actually 'I sure don't mind the change)
'I'm pleased to be a lamp post'- Crosby, Stills 7 Nash, Long Time Gone ('it appears to be a lo-hong ti-ime')
'Breathe the pressure, come play my game I'll test ya, Czechoslovakian and he can sing!!'- The Prodigy, Breathe
'Im running away from you and your cock' - Renaissance, Running Away From You (the actual word is 'car')
'Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body' - Madonna, Erotica
'She seems to have an invisible tough shit' - Genesis, Invisible Touch
'Realise Roger Diddumy is feeding my addiction' - The Almighty, Addiction (it's actually 'what you're giving me')
'Neville, Neville, Neville, taste it' - INXS
My brother also seemed to think that the words 'sea river lake' (from The Cycle, an obscure album track by Procol Harum singer Gary Brooker) said 'chewing her leg' How he got to THAT conclusion is beyond me. But then again, he is a bit fick.
Then there are the ones where the words don't appear to be in any language at all. The New Seekers 'Beg Steal Or Borrow' alaways sounded like 'Big Steel Nabarro' - but what the hell is a Nabarro? Also, what is a 'fingo', as referred to by Buster Bloodvessel, where on one's body are the 'yeyes' to which Midge Ure refers to dancing with tears in, and last but not least let's not forget Elton John's assertion that he wants to "kiss the Bride- Gep!" GEP? GEP? WHAT IN THE NAME OF FUCKETY FUCKETING FUCK IS A GEP?
These and many other mysteries will not be answered any time soon.... |
