Mistaken Lyrics

[Just1L]

Thought I'd start something fun. This one's about those lyrics you used to sing until you figured out what they were actually saying. Please post what you used to say and then what they actually are. I'd like to add the real lyrics as one of those hidden teaser things but can't find that option anymore.

 

I'll go first with one of the classics from when I was a kid. 

 

Big 'ol Jed had a light on

Big old jet airliner

As a child I would stand in church and happily sing the words of that well known hymn:

 

Bringing in the cheese

bringing in the cheese

We shall come rejoicing

bringing in the cheese

 

As a fan of cheese, this made complete sense to me lol

[McnaughtonPark]

Man, I don't like telling on myself, but I did this a lot.  I still do it, lol, and now my daughter corrects me, lol., too funny!

 

From 1979 Bee Gees song Too Much Heaven - I guess I never knew the name of the song...

 

Nobody gets too much hair in their armpits

 

Nobody gets too much heaven no more it's....

I used to think Ozzy sang:

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could perisqulate

 

I didn't know what the word perisqulate meant but it sounded smart

He actually sang:

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

 

Good ole' Ozzy mumble

[Rudi]

I always thought this song was called 'Cowboy'.

 

Too much of a stretch? Listen again.

My father still picks on me for singing, "I'm sittin' on a dopple

of hay, watching the clouds rolls away."  That's what it sounded like to me as a kid.  Plus, (as young children) remember that song, "Shake, shake, shake your booties".  Well my brother (many thought we were twins-15 mos apart) We thought we were getting away with something--He and I would laugh like crazy as the seeds from an elm tree spun to the ground (they looked like bikini tops or bras) as we sang,"shake, shake, shake your boobies while we shimmied our non-existent chests to our self-made music.

Everyone in the UK's seen this I'm sure... So one for everyone else...
