What I heard:
"Body like a backhoe..."

I didn't even hear most of the other lyrics in the song because I was too busy trying to make sense of that.

Actual lyrics:
"Body like a back road..."

Well, I wasn't expecting the actual lyrics to be that, but at least that makes a little more sense.

'Never Can Say Goodbye' (1975) Gloria Gaynor.

The lyric "never can say goodbye" was misheard as "never can say the bible."

I forget the name of the song.

Dylan sings: " Genghis Khan could not keep his kings supplied with sleep.

What I heard was: "Genghis Khan, and his brother Don, could not keep on keeping on."

i like my version better.


I really want to know about Don Khan now.


He was probably a lot like Billie Carter! :lol:

The granddaddy of all misinterpreted lyrics: the song from the closing credits of WKRP in Cincinnati.

Rockin around the Christmas Tree
at the Christmas party hop
A mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop

Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie (I hear "fukking pie")
and we'll do some caroling

Alive and kicking
Stay until your love is
Alive and kicking
Stay 'til your love is
Until your love is, alive

I always thought it was "I love my chicken" (and a very bizarre lyric).
I also thought the song was by U2, not Simple Minds. I hate U2 but didn't realize this wasn't them until recently.
