I just thought of some more misheard Travis lyrics...



Also in Safe, I thought it was: "About as distant as a sultan light" at first instead of "satellite." :P Really, it sounds like it!



I used to think it was "Saturn light"


in coldplays Viva la Vida i thought it was "i hear terrorist bells are ringing, roman Catholic choirs are singing" instead of Jeruselem bells and Calvary choirs.

"Saturday's ho" to the tune of Weezer's "Say it ain't So."


LOL!!! That's a great one!

For years I thought The Beatles' "Hard Days Night" went..."so I just get ya on home, 'cause when I get ya alone, you know I feel okay" when it's actually..."so why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone."


Wha? It's not, "cause when I get you alone?" Wow, you learn something new every day.

Is that what he says?!?! Wow! I thought it was "I hear in future bells are ringing, Roman Catholic choirs are singing" Hehe! I was never bothered to look up the lyrics. He mumbles a lot on the new album, which kinda bugs me. I still think it's great though.

No, it is "'cause when I get you alone"...it's the first part of the phrase I got mixed up. I thought it was "so I just get ya on home" when it's really "so why on Earth should I moan".

I thought Elvis Costello sang, "Every day I ride the bus, " instead of "Every day I write the book."

Hmm, I thought it was "I hear the missionary bells are ringing, roman catholic choirs are singing".

Good to know I'm not the only one who didn't catch the proper lyrics lol

My friend used to sing "Mamma mia, here we go again, my my, how can I assist you?" instead of "how can I resist you?" XD

Funny thread.

When I was 8, I used to sing "Zinc, Zinc, Zinc...
For the love you bring won't mean a thing...unless you zinc"
I thought it was Zinc, the chemical element.

In WDIAROM, i thought it was "silly days" instead of "sunny days"
And you know that Dido song where she goes "I won't put my arms up and surrender", I always heard "I won't poke my eyes out and surrender" that had me totally confused.
Oh, and Flowers in the Window was a completely different song in my mind when i first heard it! "flowers in the window it's such a lonely day and i like the way it feels" haha :)

I tought my pupil the alphabet in English with that song and she also had trouble sepparating the "lmnop" part :oP.
She was really excited with the song though, it was a hit xD.
