Lyrics you change

[foxfanazer]

Are there any songs that for no good reason when you sing it you change the lyric. 

 

Just listening to A grand don't come for free by The Streets. The second song on the album is 'Could well be in' and the lyric is 'I saw this thing on ITV the other week saying that if she plays with her hair she's probably keen' which I rather childishly change to 'I saw this thing on ITV the other week saying that if she plays with her hair she's Robbie Keane' 

 

Always have done

 

Man this lockdown this needs to end!

Ciao Adios by Anne Marie.

 

I change Ciao Adios to 'Shower the horse'. As i am certain that is actually what she is saying.

Whenever I hear The Police 'So Lonely' I sing 'Sue Lawley' the ex newsreader (one for the teenagers )

Constant craving by KD Lang becomes "Cant stand Gravy"

 

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Sweet Home Alabama after watching 8-Mile has now permanently stuck as Eminems version.

 

ie I'm at home in my trailer

You're really letting yourself down if you're not changing "it's raining men" to "Israeli men" at every available opportunity imo

[boots60]

Pussycat's hit "Mississippi" has been changed to "Leicester City" for many years, well it has in our house.

[Bellend Sebastian]

Someone once said that 'Have a Nice Day' by the Stereophonics sounds like 'Have an Ass Day' and it's very difficult to un-hear that once it's in

[Corky]

"My lover's got no money, he's got his Trombelese"

 

Gala- Freed From Desire. I was convinced Trombelese was an instrument used for busking.

[Tuna]

Sail Away / Save The Whales.

[TiffToff88]

Kings of Leon - Dyslexics on Fire

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, jalapeño... yeah!

Blink 182 - The Rock Show

Actual lyrics: When we said we were gonna go to Vegas, I remember the look her mother gave us
What I hear: When we said we were gonna go to Vegas, I remember the hook-up on the gay bus

Coldplay - Yellow

Actual lyrics: Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones
What every Danish person hears: Jeg sked oh ja jeg sked en bums (In Danish, this basically translates to "I shat, oh yes I shat a pimple".) And it honestly sounds EXACTLY like that. The accent and everything. It's quite frightening really

When my boy was about five years old he used to sing Bon Jovi's 'Living on a prayer' at the top of his lungs.

 

Instead of 'Gina works the diner all day' he'd sing 'Cheater wants to die of old age' for no apparent reason - which made us chuckle...

Time this great idea for a thread was resurrected!

 

 

You've abandoned me, love don't live here anymore

Chicken Fricassee, love don't live here anymore.

 

Don't think I've ever sung the correct line of 'just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore' in my life and I've been listening to it for 40 plus years.

 

To anyone not alive in the 70's/80's, Chicken Fricassee was a catch all school canteen dinner, where they cooked up clearly left over chicken in a minging white sauce of unknown origin/ingredients served with rice. Feckin' awful it was.

 

This image wasn't far off from the shite we were offered at school, though I don't remember it having carrots. Rice was almost exotic in those days, so school 'dinner ladies' didn't know how to cook it for the most part.

 

A clump of over or under cooked white rice topped with white splat. Yummy.
