Misheard song lyrics​

Does anyone else have memories of misheard song lyrics? My favourite is from a little girl who loved ABBA

Dancing Queen
Young and Sweet
Only seven teeth

My sister and I were huge Carly Simon fans (still are) and we’d loudly sing along to You’re so Vain.

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was “at break out”

We only found out two years ago, the scarf it was apricot.

I had the same problem with the Beatles Hey Jude.
I couldn't understand why they were singing about the Rabbi?
(HEAD JEW)

 

[Luckyus]

Another one was, Guantanamera? I thought that songs
were very, explicit rendition of the female anatomy
All the Mary's I knew had one had In the same place

There's a song by Elton John called Tiny Dancer. The lyrics are as follows

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Only some wag replaced 'Count the headlights on the highway' with 'Count the headlice on the highway'.

Once heard, never forgotten!

My niece loved the song Arizona! She would sing it all the time, but with the words
Hairy Molar!

My niece when she was about 8 loved the spice girls. Brings back happy memories when they used to come down from Cairns and we all holidayed at the old Port Willunga Caravan Park during Summer

Advance Australia Fair. Our youngest daughter used to sing "Australians all eat ostriches, for breakfast lunch and tea...." at the weekly school assembly! She was 7 y.o at the time, and I believe her older sisters may have just led her up the garden path! We still giggle to this day, and they are all in their 30's with kids of their own

That’s so funny.
In a similar vein, our boy used to call Advance Australia Fair the National Anthony, probably based on so many events he’d seen where Julie Anthony sang it.
Fast forward to the lead up to the Sydney Olympics and my hubbie and I happened to be in a box at a sporting event with Julie Anthony and her husband. We were discussing who would be chosen to sing the anthem at the Olympics. We told her about the National Anthony and said she’d be a shoo-in.
And she was!

My neighbours son when he was little used to sing Mark Jackson’s song I’m an individual as I’m a little vegetable. He genuinely thought they were the right words.

Mine is an old Seeker's song "Oh Sinner Man" as a child I thought it was "oats in a man"
