Misheard lines from songs - we need a light diversion 09:43 - Feb 4 with 4028 viewsBluesky

When I was very young I heard Ralph Readers "We're riding along on the crest of a wave" to be "We're banging a gong on the chest of a slave"!

Any similar stories? Let's crack a few smiles....

The Skids - Into The Valley


I bought a box set of Skids albums and when I heard 'Into The Valley' again all I could hear was the misheard lyrics I'd seen in the Maxell advert from years ago all over again. The misheard ones were burned in, no idea what the real ones are.

My brother’s partner apparently thought thin lizzy’s ‘the boys are back in town’ was called ‘the bus from Pakistan’

I misheard a line from manics song ‘you stole the sun from my heart’ too, the line is ‘drinking water to stay thin’ and I thought it was ‘drinking, what a Tuesday thing’
And on that note, I’m off for a pint 🍺

For many, many years I wondered what a chancel fly was, and how they resembled taxis.

Then I saw the lyrics for Waterloo Sunset, and realised the line wasn't 'taxis like chancel flies', but 'taxi lights shine so bright '.


BTW, what is a chancel fly?

One more I almost forgot. One song, I mean a classic pop song, but one I’ve always had difficulty working out the lyrics for, Blondie- heart of glass. Even though I know the line is ‘riding high on love’s true bluish light’ it still sounds to me like ‘riding high, although I’m still a Jewish lie’. It was years before I found out what it was, before which I’d assumed Debby Harry was some sort of mad conspiracy theorist

Abba also obviously used to sing about Chicken Tikka as well.

It was only the other day that I realised that "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" doesn't include the line "The truth is I never loved you", which kind of changes the meaning somewhat.

I remember it being mentioned on Nationwide, the tea time news and events programme. Sue Lawley who hosted it was suitably embarrassed.

You saw Glasgow last night in Tesco? I always assumed he shopped at Waitrose.

They're things like taxis, I believe.

Apparently I used to sing "All the 'kin time" to a certain Wings song with bagpipes. I was only two so I can't remember.
