What song lyrics have you been happily singing for years only to find out you've a made a complete fool of yourself as you have them wrong  One of mine is really embarrassing but I'll share  Instead of '3 Lions on a shirt . . .' I used to sing along with '3 Lines on a shirt . . .' I could never work out what the 3 lines were. Oh the shame when my friend pointed out my mistake but his was worse in my view. He insisted the line was 'Its full of peppery goodness . . ' instead of 'It's full of Cadbury goodness . . ' in the fudge advert  Anyway what are your Lyrical errors ? |

That must be what the tune was years ago because I remember singing "peppery goodness"... Did they change it...?

However, I did make quite a fool of myself on FB a few years back when I ran the lyric to this song as my status...
I posted... "Coast to coast and into Chicago, Across the north and down to Key Largo..."
Oh the shame... |

Toto - Africa....
Instead of
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I used to sing "There`s nothing that a million men from Mars could ever do"

I always knew thwy were wrong but just used to find it funny to sing the wrong thing.
Anna Friel instead of 'And I feel' in Madonna's Ray of Light
Onamatapaeia instead of 'Annie I'm Not Your Daddy'
And perhaps most oddly
Dangernouse instead of 'say that You love me, say that you love me, tell me you love me' in 'Unchain My Heart'.

Unbreak my Heart sorry. Can't remember who sang it but it used to drive my friend i sat opposite in 1997 nuts!
It was quite difficult to make out the words to Sade's songs I agree.

I remember, when I was a kid, I went through an Abba phase and was convinced Super Trouper's opening line was "I was sick and tired of everything when I called you last night from Tesco".

Lol I used to think "if you change your mind, I'm the first in line" was "if you change your mind I'm on the Virgin line" |

I used to love that "Fairy Liquid" advert as a kid.
For years afterwards, I cheerfully sang ... "For hands that do dishes can be as soft as your cock ... with mild green Fairy Liquid" ... until the local vicar pointed out the error I'd made.

Band Aid's Do They Know it's Christmas "and there won't be snow and advocat this Christmas time"
Manfred Mann's Blinded by the Light "knocked up by a douche another runner in the night"
And not technically mishearing a lyric as getting the words wrong completely, by singing out loudly without realising "joy to the world, the Lord is dead" - which given it happened in a carol singing service at the local festively decorated church, did not go down too well.... redface4

OMG I was going to mention Neighbours in this thread.
Where it said You can find the perfect blend.
I used to sing You can find the perfect place.

Remember that song Reverend Blue Jeans? Shame it was actually a ditty called Forever in Blue Jeans then !  And another one by some eighties band, the title eludes me but it was one of those shouting ballad things this being the line I always think of. 'Goldfish. They know what you're thinking. I don't need no reason because you're good, you know you're good. You're real good.........' Now I shall drive myself insane trying to think of that damned song |
