Sunday monkey won't play piano song...

[hippie_chick]

Who hasn't heard a song and misheard some of the lyrics? For the longest time I heard "She's got electric boobs..." instead of "...electric BOOTS..." in Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets" like many others have. LOL!!

Anyway here are just a couple more of my favorite misheard lyrics.

I have three or four books of misheard lyrics, with entertaining illustrations. They're at home in Maine right now, but they provided much amusement. I just may have to sign up for that listserv.

The only one I can think of right now is my husband's. Bon Jovi "Dead or Alive"

Actual - "I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride."
Misheard - "I'm a cowboy, on a stale horse I ride."

It always cracked me up, so I had to share!

A couple come to mind, although my favorite is probably the electric boobs.

Free - Alright Now
Actual lyric: "Let's move before they raise the parking rate..."
Misheard lyric: "Lets move before they raise a f*ckin' rage..."

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Actual lyric: "The kid is not my son..."
Misheard lyric: "The chair is not my son..."
This only occurs once in the song. Even Conan O'Brien picked up on it.

Steppenwolf - Sookie, Sookie
Actual lyric: "Sookie, sookie, sookie, sookie, sookie, sookie, Sue..."
Misheard lyric: Sookie, sookie, s*ck me, s*ck me, s*ck me, s*ck me, Sue..."
Oh wait, that is what they say, at least on the Live album.
