Title: Lyrics that you've heard wrong
Post by: Rusco on February 19, 2016, 10:24:30 PM
Many years ago there was a similar thread in here about only NMA lyrics.
I can still remember some of them with a slight grin on my face.

High

But high on the high heels you can't see nothing...!


Bloodsports

Scream it loud! Scream it loud! I'm not at bar...I'm not at bar...

 :)


Oh but there are always lyrics you've heard wrong for sure! Let's put some of them here, right? Not only just NMA lyrics but others too. I'll step aside and add some them later...

Used to think the line "Saving All My Love For You"  by Whitney Huston was --

Shaving off my muff for you  ::)

One Way System, a hardcore punk group sang: "Give us a future!" that sound like Give us a pizza!

I remember Justin talking about a night when someone had a large Norwegian flag that was waved during Queen Of My Heart, onbviously whoever it was had misheard the lyric King of nowhere and thought they'd heard King of Norway :) :)

A mate of mine told me that in New York, The Prodigy's Smack my ***** up was on at a club. A local girl was apparently waving her camera phone about, having understood it to be Snap my Picture  ;D

Me too.  Imagine those verses...violins after the chorus...peaceful song...crowd nearly shedding tears...and then you see somebody with the flag.  ;D

'See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen...'

I think Abba might have spent some time in dodgy Northern nightclubs...  ;)

Is it that part of the chorus where they sang "Oh yeah!" after it? Laughing my arse off here...

Oh, and I remember another thing about Bloodsports I mentioned earlier: "Scream it loud: from another world! From another world!" Could you imagine it as a song about aliens? Hehe.

There was a crust band called No Security in Sweden. They sang in Swedish and had a certain song that I heard: "Where are you going? Why not a shop?"

There was an artist in Finland called Maukka Perusjätkä who had a song called "War Against Apathy". The choruses sounded like "War Against Japan" as they sang in Finnish. :)

Anyone remember the hymn / folk tune 'Lord of The Dance'... the chorus went...

Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he


As a little kid, I genuinely thought it went...

..I'll eat you all, wherever you may be
An I'll eat you all in the Dance said he...


I truly thought it was about some big cannibalistic demon or something...  ;D
