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

[Dalesblue]

Queen, “Is this the real life…is this just Battersea?”

 

[Lavinda Past]

Queen, “Is this the real life…is this just Battersea?”

Vince Miller, Vince Miller will you let me go?

 

[Uwe Already]

Brass in Pocket

Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my ............ now I have always sang "sassy" till a couple of months ago.

It always used to sound like sassy but now I know it does actually say " sidestep" . Still think sassy is better.

Crikey, I always thought “gonna use my senses” - just looked up the lyrics and I don’t recognise that song at all! “Got new skank/It’s so reet” Chrissy Hind a Yorkshire woman, who knew?

Blue Rondo a la turk - Klacto Vee Sedstein

I always thought it was about losing your virginity at the age of consent..

” I've got to find out, I've got to find out, I've got to find out "
GLAD TO BE SIXTEEN
ooh ooh ooh ha ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ha ooh ooh

I'll be honest, I'd never heard of him. Just looked him up on Youtube. “Staple the vicar”! Brilliant and mad. A man after my own heart…

Have a look for Dave Spikey - a mate of Kay's until they fell out over the misheard lyrics, amongst other things. Spikey was doing it first but was less famous and now looks like he copied.

Not misheard, but a favourite from him is Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak - "tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town". Just guessing, but I'd say the jail.

Good God, you mean it's not that?! I'm getting paranoid now about everything I've been mishearing for donkeys years.

” I've got to find out, I've got to find out, I've got to find out "
GLAD TO BE SIXTEEN
ooh ooh ooh ha ooh ooh

Looks to me as if whoever's singing is already in the process of finding out.

An ex of mine used to sing ‘I got the cherry’ instead of ‘I shot the sheriff’ until I put her right.

Hahaha, biggest belly laugh of the day! That's brilliant. Did she actually know what that phrase meant, or was she singing it in blissful innocence?

"tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town"

Actually, that's sounds plausibly like a Michael Owen commentary.

Everyone I work with thought it was senses too. No one knew it was sidestep!!!
