classic.

Ha-ha garion! Apparently though I'm the only one ever to mistake lyrics....... unless nobody else wants to admit theirs

I've got absolutely loads which is why I clicked on the topic originally, but I couldn't (and still can't) think of a single one at the moment - I'll come back to the topic at some point and prove to everyone just what am idiot I am.. *laughs* You do realise though, that the Lithium thang will stay with me for ever - one of my favourite tracks that I'll never be able to hear again without giggling..

Sorry dude......

Jokes aside, I remember the first time I heard Nevermind when it first came out, listened to the whole album thru headphones in a Virgin Megastore after hearing 'teen spirit' on the radio, 'Lithium' was one of the tracks that made my mind up that I was going home with a copy. I later discovered 'Bleach' which is my fave album of theirs, wonder what they'd be recording now?

Regrettably (and I hate to say it, as they were a favourite band of mine) I think they'd sound like a low-rent Foos, if Lennon hadn't passed away, imagine what kind of rubbish The Beatles would be putting out, or the pale shadow albums that Pink Floyd do.. It is perhaps best left encapsulated in its perfect time.

Yeah agree with U there garion, could make for an interesting topic in itself, ''what'd bands/artists sound like if they were still going today'', either that or ''which acts/artists have over-stayed their artistic welcome''?!

The scripts song for the first time.
Lyrics is she's in line at dole with her head held high. I used to think .. in line at door with her head held high.

Can remember others now. There's too many rock and metal songs that I get wrong, as English isn't my language. So I always have a-z lyrics open on my browser.

This isn't so much 'misheard' as 'misunderstood' - a song that terrified me as a kid was Eleanor Rigby: the bit where she 'puts on the face that she keeps in a jar by the door..' I imagined this flayed skull with exposed blood vessels and veins and stuff which she covered up if there was a visitor. (you know how your imagination runs riot when you're a kid)
It wasn't until years later when I overheard a woman talking about 'putting her face on' before going out that I realised it meant make-up..

Garion!

''He's just a poor boy from a poor family, spare him his life and his pork sausages'' ......ahem, another one I misinterpreted as a kid

That David bowie song... ground control to major tom. The name eludes me right now. Byt the line heeerrreeee am I sittin in a tin can'' I always sang it shiitting in a tin can.

Space Oddity is the song btw.

oh that is brilliant

I knew there was a legendary family one, but couldn't call it to mind until I just heard the song being used in a tv ad.
When she was very little I heard my sister singing: 'raindrops keep falling on my head, they keep falling, because I'm four'
I said 'it's because I'm free hon' and she said 'yeah, but I'm not anymore, I'm four..'
You can't argue with that sort of ineffable logic..

Alas garion, the legendary Burt Bacharach re-written by a four year old!

I saw a video yesterday that made me think of this.
