I thought "Good Thing," by the Fine Young Cannibals, was actually "Fruitcake." The song goes "Good Thing, where have you gone?" And I thought it was "Fruitcake! What have you done?"
Okay.
Just wanted to get that off my chest.

We've all done similar.
Where's MY forgiveness?

I always thought (perhaps for 35 yrs!) The Beatles "Hey Madgie shes a pretty nice girl.." was Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl. A cheeky satire on the Queen. I took some persuading.

When I first heard Mama's Boy by the Ramones I thought Joey was singing
my my my my my three balls.
It's sort of a running joke around here now😂🤘😂
"Rudolph, come to see his friends compete"

Or the original track of All in the Family. They had to redo it because people kept on asking about it.
(Gee our old salad grate)
Man, that's a knee slapper, I've got to sit down a minute now

In my defense, the internet was a new thing when I was in high school, so it's not like you could just goigle it when I was a kid!
Must look my copy out
Maxwell jump
Nellie Furtado - "Hung like a bird"
Whenever I hear that song today, that's what I think of. 🤭
In my defense I'd only heard the song on the radio and we didn't have the internet.
Gravy, that’s how it goes.
Over the turkey, and on the ’tatoes!
Which makes less sense than wrapped up like a douche 😂😂😂
But I only heard that version in the past year.
I don't know what that is or why you'd wrap one up.
OMG, this is so much more fun!

Ok... I got one...
🎵 Heave ho, cheese and crackers, never shall we die 🎵
It took until we all spawned & one of the kids told me. It's all right, I sank an earworm on them that lasted days.
Later we'll have some fu*kin’ pie,
And we'll do some caroling

*That would have to be years ago...
I’m not sure if the tree came to life or was hit by lightning or what, but something upsetting obviously happened.
It's NOT long blonde hair?
Back when it came out, we'd sing it as "That underarm hair" as a joke, but you're saying we never even go the original line right?
I think we're being punked.
The first word of that line is almost certainly "That", not "Like"
Normally once you know the correct line you can hear it, but I cannot map "Like No One Else" to that line no matter how I listen to it.
Always thought they sang “let’s move before they raise the fking rent” and even when it was pointed out it is “parking rate” I still like my version better 😎

Now that song is weird to me… I liked it better when it was knights

That is all. I'll see myself out.
(Frankly, SK hearing it as "fruitcake" makes so much sense.)
I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one getting this song wrong.
Good fruitcake reduces cannibalism. They were just really into civics.
Clothes and throw ‘em away”
“She drives me crazy,
With long blonde hair…”

Fruitcake!
My all time miss heard lyric was a kid who quite young thought when Barry Manilow was singing Looks Like We Made was singing Looks Like Tomatoes.

Some of my own stupid interpretations:
Led Zep: It's whispered that soon
If we all call the Jew
Simon&Garfunkel: And paint his arms brown
Like a bridge over...
Steppenwolf: Born Snoopy -- Wow!
I wanna be elated
'The only trouble is...
CHEESE WHIZ
I'm dreaming my life away'
When Jimmy Hendrix sang
'Excuse me while I kiss the sky'
I thought he said
'kiss this guy' 🤣
The sky’s in love with you 😏
just kind of stood there because I have 8 older brothers...watched their reaction, and when they told me the lyrics ...I said ooooohhhhh, 🙄
Knowledge is power
France is bacon 🙈
Thank you!😊
Never knew a Shondelle, btw.
My 1975 Sears stereo (with built-in turntable) put out some strange lyrics, like "request in quiet" instead of "big boys don't cry" in 10CC's 'I'm Not In Love".
However, I thought the same thing. Seriously...
Not to mention the Saturday Night Fever hit, "Bald Headed Woman."
And Toto's "I felt your brains down in Africa." (Always suspected you wrote that one.)
I catch some waves down in Africa.
And here I thought Hawaii was the surfing hot spot.
My poor husband. He’s a musician. I love to sing on long road trips. Either he really loves me or he doesn’t know the words as well. 😂
You win.
And Paul Rodgers was singing that years before Thatcher’s Poll Tax.
Priceless
Who TF is "Fanny"???!!!
