I'm the same...especially when it comes to Elton John's songs!

I struggle to understand the words to Elvis Presley's songs, he's got such a thick American drawl it's near impossible to know what he's going on about....

I have to admit when I have sang certain songs in the past I have gotten many lines arseways but the thing is you get so used to singing it that way and using those words that is hard then not to use themand substitute the right ones Or is that just me

I always get the lyrics wrong in Elton John's Yellow Brick Road chorus.........when he sings "Where the dogs of society howl"....I always think he says "Where the dark house society howls" Then when he carries on with "Back to the howling old owl in the woods, hunting the horny back toad"........it sounds like "Back to the animals out in the woods, huntin' 'n' hollerin' like a sow"

The only songs I have ever attempted to sing are Black Sabbath's 'Iron Man' and Metallica's 'For Whom The Bell Tolls'. It was at my birthday party at a rock night, I was drunk and will never embarrass myself like that again.... . I ruined two metal classics!
|
Catnapper
|
I'd loved to have seen that
|
Emperor Morphetine
|
Not if you really cared about Sabbath or Metallica you wouldn't, I was horrified the morning after!

I can imagine you too Morphy...though I;'m sure you weren't that bad
As for misheard lyrics I'm a terror for that kind of thing too babe....for years the Mr Mister song Kyrie (I never knew the title of the song for years ) I used to sing the chorus like this....
Korean days
On the road that I must travel
Korean days
through darkness of the night
Korean days .......etc
The actual lyrics are
Kyrie Eleison
Down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison
Through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison
Where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie Eleison
On a highway in the light
And even today I just cannot fix the proper words to it and still sing it like the guy wrote it was from Korea

I've also ruined a few Police songs while in the land of drink- I seem to remember being told I'd ruined the likes of 'Message In A Bottle' at a university Christmas party after a few too many refreshments....
|
Lucifer_666
|
I wonder how you ruined it??
|
Emperor Morphetine
|
By opening my mouth in the first place...

Nice

Why thank you, I like to think I aim to please! And I've uncovered another comedically misheard lyric- If you listen to 'So Lonely' by the Police and mishear it it sounds like they're singing a tribute to Sue Lawley, who used to broadcast on Radio Four.......

on the new pussycat dolls song on one part i always thought they sang "i wanna have boobies" when they actually sing "i wanna have groupies"
|

I'll listen out for that!

Has anyone else always found it difficult to work out what Kurt Cobain's on about when you listen to 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana? It's a great song but it took me years to twig what it was he sings.
|
Lucifer_666
|
Me too Cat I don't think I'll listen to many of these songs the same way again
I love that song Morphy too but I still make up my own lyrics to it.....am I the only one who does that?
|
Emperor Morphetine
|
Maybe.......
|
Lucifer_666
|
hmmm
|
Catnapper
|
I should imagine a few drinks are involved
|
Emperor Morphetine
|
As always, can't beat a good drunk singalong now and again. 
|
Lucifer_666
|
I can't even use that as an excuse...my singalongs are sober 
|
Emperor Morphetine
|
Well, they're equally fun. But I've always found that a few bevvies loosens people up for such things.....
