Clothes , But No C-Car !! What is it they are singing??

**remicks** · June 20th, 2011, 11:43 AM

****

We all have them don't we???

Those songs where we've slightly twisted the lyrics because we can't quite discern them??

Oh we know they aren't right , but they stay in our head that way anyway....(and usually wind up being better than the actual lyrics anyway!)

here are a couple of mine:

Hot Chocolate YOU SEXY THING

actual lyrics:

I believe in miracles
Where ya from you sexy thing (sexy thing you)

what played in my head:

I believe in miracles
wear your bra off, you sexy thing! (sexy thing you)

_________

I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY Whitney Houston

actual lyrics:

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat of somebody
Ya I wanna dance with somebody

what played in my head:

Oh I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna smell the feet of somebody
Ya I wanna dance with somebody

You?
Got any????

Oddly enough I misinterpreted the lyrics of 'You Sexy Thing' too; I thought Errol was singing 'I believe in milko', whatever milko is (?!) - I was only 11 years old though.
My fave misinterpretation of mine was always in 'Chain Reaction' the monster no.1 pop hit by Diana Ross; instead of 'to anywhere & there aint no salvation' I was convinced she sang 'tell Eddie Waring there aint no salvation'!! Quite why Ms. Ross would be singing about a British rugby commentator god only knows!! (I hadn't thought it through - & no excuses this time 'cos I was 20 by this time!)

She was probably looking for "an up and under"

Well he's kinda marble mouthed ... and back then especially we were listening mostly on thin AM radios .

It helps to not mess up the punchline though .... it wasn't "take your bra off" I was hearing - but rather "wear your bra off " .

kisses in the night

Jump, jump, for my love

If you wanna take my
temperature tonight
then
Jump , jump, for my love

*****

He he, love it!

I often find myself singing 'I'm in Missouri can't you see' on 'The Love I Lost' by Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes instead of 'I'm in misery can't you see'; well, Teddy did sound in quite a state!! (geddit? sorry, couldn't resist that one!)

Oh well, let's give this total bomb of a thread (but for your contributions my dear Dee!) one more shot!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_wBqp0V9mo&t=4m27s (damn that didn't work .............???)

of course Stephanie is @ 4:30 and 4:37 simply offering the encouraging words:

"YOU CAN MAAAAKE IT ! "

but it was so much more fun to think she was twice urging the crowd at the top end of her range to:

"GET NAAAAKED !!!!"

that's nothing short of perfectly clever.
I will hear it that way from here on ...

Whenever I was at the clubs and heard the song "Cafe" by D.D. Sound and they got to tag line "Cafe, cafe, cafe", I thought they were singing, "I'm gay, I'm gay, I'm gay". LOL.
