http://www.amiright.com/misheard/artist/u2.shtml


All I can say is, do people make this shit up??

Sample:

U2's, "Velvet Dress"

Misheard Lyrics:
If you were on Alcatraz

Correct Lyrics:
If you wear that velvet dress

 

[wertsie]

Weird site!

U2's, "All I Want is You" (Make Correction) (Suggest Different Misheard Lyrics)
Misheard Lyrics:
No i won't eat it
Correct Lyrics:
All I want is

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

that website inspired that text line in my sig.

yeeeeees, that's right! all the quotes i have are actual misheard lyrics taken from amiright.com

the one i have now won't fit completely. if i put who "said" it, it cuts off my winampdb sig. so anyway, it's taken from led zeppelin's "whole lotta love."

it esp. cracks me up when people mishear the part that's the song title! how could you get that wrong? (like the infamous "shamu the mysterious whale" thing)

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

oh yeah, i also have a misheard lyrics section on my website.

 

[Cask]

These ones really cracked up, how could anyone misheard the chorus "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" and listen one of these things:

Misheard Lyrics:
So naked, it's lovely

So naked, it's lovely

Someday, Johnny, Someday

Someday, buddy, someday

Sunday's just like Monday

 

[IWasBored]

you'd have to be either incredibly stoned, drunk, or somehting to misshear "sunday bloody sunday"...

 

[Elvis Presley]

Tiny Dancer - Elton John

"hold me closer Tony Danza".......

 

[hippy]

'Scuse me while I kiss this guy!

~Scuse me while I kiss the sky

That's my favorite one!

 

[FallingStar]

hippy, from what song is that? Mysterious Ways?

 

[wertsie]

Someday, buddy, someday

You know, I could actually see someone thinking that!

 

[wertsie]

hippy, from what song is that? Mysterious Ways?

No, that Jimi Hendrix song...It's supposed to be "Excuse me while I kiss the sky."

 

[IWasBored]

Tiny Dancer - Elton John

"hold me closer Tony Danza".......

that's funny...i don't think i've ever heard more than a few seconds of the original, but i went to the movies earlier and you know that terrible radio thing they always have playing in large chain-store theatres? they played a cover version of it, some country singer, i forgot who...

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

No, that Jimi Hendrix song...It's supposed to be "Excuse me while I kiss the sky."

purple haze?

i can see the tony danza bit...the way elton says it isn't like how it's usually said, like tie-knee. it sounds almost more like torny.

and someday, buddy, someday sounds like how it would sound if bono had a cold.

 

[macphistosmagic]

My favorite has to be "cyanide in the sky you make me feel like I could die..."

 

[wertsie]

My favorite has to be "cyanide in the sky you make me feel like I could die..."

What are the real lyrics? I'm about to fall asleep right now so I can't quite place it!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

"i and i in the sky, you make me feel like i could fly."

 

[IWasBored]

"so high EL-EV-ATION! WHOO HOO WHOO HOO!"

if my roommate wasn't sleeping i'd probably be pissing off the neighbours listing to that loudly now...

 

[hippy]

purple haze?

 

[FallingStar]

No, that Jimi Hendrix song...It's supposed to be "Excuse me while I kiss the sky."

Good, I thought I didn't know the lyrics for u2 songs anymore.

 

[wertsie]

"i and i in the sky, you make me feel like i could fly."

Ohhh...See, I get that now, but last night I was just GONE...

 

[ICRED]

A friend of mine thought that the line in Discotheque "You just can't get enough of that lovie dovie stuff" was "just can't get enough of that lovin' doggy style" HA!

Also, I've heard one that someone thought the chorus of Spirits In the Material World by the Police was "Ooh Papa Smurf, we are material"

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Also, I've heard one that someone thought the chorus of Spirits In the Material World by the Police was "Ooh Papa Smurf, we are material"

i saw someone thought it said "there are spirits eating my cheerios!" where do people come up with this stuff?

a side note: when i was compiling a list for my misheard lyrics for my sig, i'd say at least half i found were police and sting lyrics.

 

[greenbax]

The more I listen, the more I hear:

Alex Descends Into Hell.... Towards the end of the first vocal section it sounds like the choirboy wants a "Small Chinzano"

and

Another Time Another Place - In the part where Bono seems to adlib he's going on about "Lemon Cheescake"

I'm hearing things, I'm going mad I tell ya!

Maybe not!!

I like Lemon Cheesecake. My wasteline doesn't. I now have to iron my clothes on the driveway!

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

My favorite has to be "cyanide in the sky you make me feel like I could die..."

...um...okay...

The person who heard that wasn't suicidal at the time, by any chance? ...

These are hilarious.

[Keocmb]

I always thought it was "Ionide in the sky"...

 

[rivergoat]

First few times I listened to "Kite" I could swear he was singing:

"There's a cat blowing out of control on the breeze..."

and I was trying to figure out the 'symbolism' of cats when I finally read the lyrics....

[yertle-the-turtle]

the colours spin throughout the hall..

my biggest gaffe would be in 'let robeson sing' by the manic street preachers though

original: mccarthy posioned through with hate
i thought: my coffee poisoned you with hate

 

[BVS]

On Sort of Homecoming I heard "I'm Bono and we run" instead of "On borderland we run". I thought he was real arrogant to put his own name in the song, until I really read the lyrics.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

My s/n stems from a misheard lyric-nothing incredibly funny, but in "Angel Of Harlem", I thought he was saying, "Moonlight on the avenue", and I thought that was a rather romantic little line. Then I found out the actual lyric.

Still a nice line, though. .

[TiaraGurl]

I know I was singing my own version of electrical storm for awhile which was lets see colors that never been bleed or something which was pretty far off.
