Miscontrued or mis-heard lyrics?

[Kymery]

I thought I would start this thread...you have Doug to thank...or laugh at??

The song called Gone by Blake Shelton..he just loves that song, but he just realized he had the lyrics wrong! I was wondering what he was singing. He couldn't figure out the "Red Roadside Wild Flower" part...all he thought was that Blake was picking up some girl and setting her on the counter and had he done that more, she wouldn't be gone! Men....guess their kinky, over sex crazed brains can only think one way. :confused:

Ok...I would think the girl would leave him anyway if he was always just setting her on the counter...that gets boring!!;)

Hahaha - I have to admit I thought the same thing the first couple times I heard that song - thought he was saying something about taking the girl home and um..."setting" her on the counter.

But when I actually sat and listened to the song, it made a lot more sense! :)

I'm sure there are tons of songs I mess up or don't really know the lyrics to and sing along anyway...can't name one now, I'll be thinking about it now as I sing along in my car - and I'm sure I'll have more to share!

Bwahahaha!!! I just about spit my diet coke all over my keyboard reading that!! LOL!! That is hilarious!

One misheard lyric that comes to mind is from "Lifes a Dance" by JM Montgomery:

heard: like trying to get OFF ON a water spout :eek:
actual lyric: like trying to get OIL FROM a water spout

Most of those country boys pronounce OIL like OLE and it made for a funny lyric in this case! Ha!

ha ha.. i think he's referring to all the things he should hae done to make her happy, and she would not have left...picking flowers, setting the FLOWERS on the table, sunsets, etc... funny doug!!

I thought at first it said: trying to beat old from a water spout (hmmm , thought it was some special water in that spout!)

Yep, I had to explain that in detail to him!! Believe, this wasn't the first time. There is another Blake song...Don't make me..he had that one backwards. He thought it was him warning her, not getting the pun in the song, that she wants to leave, and that is making him leave her!

How about this "classic" mis-heard lyrics....


A version of the song recorded by Manfred Mann's Earth Band was a major hit, reaching #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 on 19 February 1977 and #1 on the Canadian RPM chart the same day. As of 2008, the Manfred Mann's Earth Band recording of "Blinded by the Light" is still Springsteen's only Number 1 single as a songwriter on the Hot 100.

The song is notable for lead vocalist Chris Thompson's garbled enunciation, especially of the phrase "revved up like a deuce" which has led many fans to interpret it as "wrapped up like a douche". The original lyric is neither of the above, instead being "cut loose like a deuce."[1] Springsteen once attributed the popularity of the Manfred Mann version partially to Thompson's enunciation.[2]

In high school (which is about to date me, please still be my friends when you figure out how old I am) I thought the Eagle's "Life in the fastlane" was "Lightening and vasoline"
and sang it that way at the top of my lungs. Yeah I know, I know.

At one time I think it was Burger King that had a commercial with the song "I believe in miracles, you sexy thing", well my bestfriend thought it was "I believe in Malcom". We laugh about that still if we here that song.
