Do you sing the wrong words to songs?

Question

For years I thought it was... Somewhere over the rainbow weigh a pie... What do you get wrong?

Answer 1

The child's song "Oranges and lemons..." for many years I'd sing as "orange juice and lemons".

Then there's that joke about the boy who named his old cross-eyed teddy bear 'Sadly'. When asked why, he said that in church they's sing about "Sadly, my cross-eyed bear". The song was actually, "Sadly my cross I'd bear".

Answer 2

I can't take the credit for this. Peter Kay tells a great story about Dads at weddings singing songs at the disco but not knowing the words;

Abba - Dancing Queen

Dancing queen, eating chineese with Mr Bean.
You can dance, in your underpants.

Doesn't translate as well as when you see it in text though!!

Answer 3

I am quite talented at this as i do it with just about every song....i solve this problem by searching for the song lyrics....now this usually can be quite embarassing when waround people singing the wrong words, especially when you can't sing(ME)....but people know me well enough so i just laugh it off!

But i definitly know how you feel, especislly if its a favourite song!

Answer 4

Of course I do, first of all because I am a bloody foreigner and cannot catch all the words and idioms sung in English but even in my language, if I listen to song that I like and I haven't learned it properly, I make up words just to keep it singing.

Answer 5

Of course I do - who doesn't? LOL. The one I get picked on for the most is from Stevie Nicks' Edge of Seventeen.

The line, as I always thought it to be: Just like the one winged dove
The actual line, as Stevie sings it: Just like the white winged dove

But one of the funniest came from a friend of mine. She and her husband were at an INXS concert when he turned and asked her, when are they gonna play "Supersonic Bomb"? He had always thought "You wanna make a Suicide Blonde" was "You wanna make a supersonic bomb".

Answer 6

I sing loads wrong i just hope that ppl dont notice
I can't for the life of me remember any of the songs i get wriong right now tho

Answer 7

Many songs I've sung wrong words to, and only until someone hears me and corrects me, do I just laugh it off and sing the right words to ^_^

Answer 8

i always sing the wrong words to a song cos i can never seem to remember the lyrics lol =( either that or i always mix up the lyrics from different songs

Answer 9

Yes! I thought that Gwen Stefani song "Wind It Up" was "One Love" but it's still a silly song. There are too many others to list.

Answer 10

hahaha, it is particularly humorous. i understand rap sucks, yet my mom listens to close by pop stations and he or she heard lil wanye's lollipop. She stated as my sister up and reported "i like this new track the place the guy says Shawty wanna hug!", even nonetheless he extremely says "Shawty wanna thug". LOL, probable a poor occasion, in spite of the undeniable fact that it grew to become into humorous to me!
