More misheard lyrics

Postby Melaszka on Wed May 21, 2008 1:25 pm

Misheard Japan/Sylvian lyrics are already amply covered in this thread:
http://www.japansylvian.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=579

But what are people's mishearings of other artists lyrics?

My worst examples are "I Surrender" by Rainbow, which I somehow misheard as "Aston Villa", and "Contagious" by Nirvana, which I used to think was "At the Tailors".

I also once knew someone who thought the first line of Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" (real lyrics: "Last night I dreamt of San Diego") was "Last night I dreamt of some dago."

And a Polish friend is convinced that the real lyrics of "Killing Me Softly With His Song" are "Pilimy soki nad Wisla" - the Polish for "We were drinking juices on the banks of the River Vistula"

Well, Japan-related...

I challenge anyone who has either the Indigo Falls album, or JBK's Beginning To Melt, NOT to hear these words sung by Mrs Barbieri at the start of The Wilderness after having read this thread:

"Channel Four's across the room" :lol:

Or maybe it's just me...
