Misheard song lyrics

[Mireystock]

I used to work with a bloke who sang ' ...lays me down, with my mancheero's...', instead of '...lays me down, with my mind she runs...' to The Stranglers 'Golden Brown'.


Maybe he was right though. Weren't Mancheero's a novely crisp from Golden Wonder, from about 1976 ?

Our father who art in heaven

Don't know but when I first heard it in the 90s, I thought they were singing about Gordon Brown.

' ...lays me down, with my mancheero's...',

The Kooks song.... She moves in her own way, I thought they were singing 'well uh oh oh Burger King'

 

[Smokin Joe]

Beatles: Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a woman...

I had to look that up because I thought that's what it was till I read your post......

I always heard it as

'Mancheerons'

So I am glad I am not alone in getting that one wrong

too many to mention, mostly animal themed for some reason

ACDC's dirty deeds and their done dirt cheap- is dirty deeds and their done to sheep

Enya's Sail Away is SaveThe Whale (to be fair it was at a time when lots of whales were getting washed ashore - and I quite liked the song when I thought that was the lyrics

Cliiff Richards It's so funny (we don't talk anymore) has become bearable if I change it to Disco Bunny

and
don't know the artist but the song goes "myl lovers got no money, he's got his strong beliefs" makes more sense if he's a busker and has got his tambourine.....

I only know the lyrics as the vinyl album had them printed on the inner sleeve thingy. La Folie, I think it was.

I thought for decades that Tom Jones's Green Green Grass Of Home said pair of golden lips like cherries instead of hair of gold and lips like cherries, How can you have golden lips i thought?

I also thought Johnny Tillotson's Poetry in Motion said oh a tree in motion.

I wasn't the only one though. Look at 2 minutes 15 seconds.

The song that goes

'I'm horny, horny horny horny!'

I thought it was

'I'm Holly, Holly Holly Holly!'

Well, hello Holly, but, why are you telling us?

Bruce Springsteen did not sing about "a bridge in disguise".

Beatles: Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a woman...

Me too, but not surprising perhaps considering that Loretta Martin thought she was a woman!

Me too!

I thought I would resurrect this thread to ask if I am the only listener to think that Sheryl Crow put on a porn show?
