Misheard rock lyrics (that you think are better than the original)

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Golden Brown
Texture like sun
Lays me down
With my Mike Sheron's

 

[GaudinoMotors]

What's that from? or rather, what is it a mishearing of?

Life on Mars

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Golden Brown
Texture like sun
Lays me down
With my Mike Sheron's

Mosquitoes surely.

Not me, but a friend of my sister thought "Don Quixote" by Nik Kershaw was called "Donkey Horsey"

Isn't the title a pun on Donkey Oat-y? The book is stuffed with dreadful, convoluted puns.

AFAIK, if donkey meant donkey in spanish, then "donkeyote" would be a big donkey. It's like the name of his horse; Rocinante, which sounds impressive. But a Rocin is an old nag, and it's common in Spanish to add -ante to a word, like we might add '-like', '-er' or '-ing' to a word, even if it's not a noun.

These, btw, are the names that the protagonist makes up for himself, in an attempt to aggrandize himself. Don Quixote - and his steed Rocinate! Sounds good. But someone else might hear 'Big Donkey and his Old Nag'

'Cause in the alleyways and bars downtown“

At the time I thought it was alleyways of Boston town

Oi! I was taking a swig of me tea when I read that one. Damn near spat the whole mouthful over the keyboard.

Not rock, but ‘Toxic’ by Britney Spears always sounded like she sang;

‘I’m addicted to you, don’t you know that your cock stinks’!

Sounds like a plausible addiction for Britney.

For years I thought Ian Curtis was singing, “I've been waiting for a guy to come and take me by the hand”. I still kind of prefer this. It's more casual, more mysterious to me, than “guide”.

It's come to me that the reason why I prefer my hearing is that it sounds more as though it could be you or me, going up to Ian in Albert Square, say, taking him by the hand and leading him out of his misery.

One Vision by Queen

But a cold wind blows and a dark rain falls
And in my heart, it shows
Look what they've done to Mike Read.

Why were they singing about a Cockney comedian?
