Now I love a good sing song, not really a karaoke queen, but love to sing along to, well just about anything really .......... doesn't seem to matter that I don't know all the words. In fact most of the time I don't, I just think I do confused I can go for years singing the wrong lyrics :undecided:
Judy mentioned a song by Manfred Man, Pretty Flamingo in the 'Soppy' thread, and it brought back this memory ......
Quote by MISSCHIEF
Oh Pretty Flamingo!!! I never knew the title to the song and up until about 5 years ago always sang the words 'where did the wind go' rolleyes redface surprisedops:
Was only when someone saw me singing along to it when out one night that I found out ..... but not before he had picked himself off the floor laughing and finished telling the rest of the pub :roll: :roll: :roll:
:oops:

Another time I burst into song was a romantic day in bed with an ex. Macy Gray was in the charts and was singing along to the song 'I Try' .....
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
I walk cobbles when you are not near

(should be My world crumbles when you are not near)
:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
Really bugs me when people burst into hysterical laughter and can't tell me what they're laughing at for ages :confused:
I just thank heavens I realised Barry White wasn't singing about Garlic sauce before anyone picked up on it :shock:
my first, my last, my everything
and the answer to all my dreams
you're my sun, my moon, my garlic sauce
(s/b guiding star! :shock: )
my kind of wonderful, that's what you are
The above 3 songs are an easy mistake to make ..... aren't they dunno You listen to em next time they're playing and see!!!! Yep, an easy mistake to make cool
These are just a couple off the top of my head, there are probably hundreds more, and even more than that which I am still unaware I'm singing wrong :roll:
So, is there anyone else who has convinced themselves that the original singer has got the words wrong? And what songs are they?
MissChief - really hoping shes not the only one :shock:
Not quite as good as those but I always used to think the lyrics to a famous Pearl Jam Track called Glorified G was:
'Glorified version of a pellican' when in fact it was 'Glorified version of a pellet gun'
How stupid did I feel when I realised
My mates mum washing the pots when we were kids:

Rollocking Times
Oh mist rolling in from the sea
My desire
Is always to be here
Oh, Rollocking Times

She couldn't work out why we were ghispering and wiggling !!!
I also had a friend that thought the words to Message in a bottle (Police) were:

A year has passed since I broke my nose
I should have blown it right from the start

confused :? :? :? :? lol :lol: :lol: :lol:
I do that a lot too - There are lots of songs I don't know the the words to so I make it up!
I can't think of an example at the moment though. (probably because I don't want to embarrass myself)
Does anyone else have the habit of singing at the top of their voice in the car (even when sitting in traffic) thinking that they are a great singer and someone might actually "spot" them and bring them to stardom?
(Not me, one of my friends)
biggrin
I'm not going to do it! I'm not going to do it! Mine is so prattish that I'd never be able to raise my head again.

Suddenly my mind's gone blank as well........??
Oh, go on Tune, tell us................... Please?
I'll ignore the fact that you "accidentally" put hump instead of passionkiss in the Soppy thread. (although I understand it's the same thing for a lot of men)

Silky just reminded me of the line from Macy Gray
" I wear goggles when you are not here"
I still sing the wrong words to this even though I know the right words now. I have argued with many people that my version is the correct one redface
You don't have to say you love me just because I'm mad
You don't have to stay for ever I will understand
