We all know about people singing CCR's" Bad Moon on the Rise" as "Theres a Bathroom on the Right". The other day i came home to find my wife singing "Miss Missy from Omaha"!I myself have had lyrics wrong FOR YEARS.How about y'all??Examples??

What's bad is that I find it amusing to totally find different lyrics to songs - just for laughs ... like the "bathroom on the right"...deal

I can't name any in particular as I write this since there is so many... but here is something you can do that will make almost any song funny.... especially any song that mentions the word LOVE in the lyrics... Just change the word love to the word drugs.... cracks me up everytime. I think I heard a comedian say that one time and I've done it ever since...

And no I don't do drugs... I just find that funny...

OK mike .... heres one for you - "Bingo Jet has a light on" - Steve Miller Band. also stolen from a comedian.

" 'scuse me while I kiss this guy" - Jimi

"bald headed woman" - Bee Gees (More than a Woman)

"I am a man of constipation" ( I am a man of constant sorrow}

Actual line from Robbie Fulks song "Georgia Hard" : The cold Virginia rain...

My wife hears : The sausage in the train...

Van Morrison's "Centerpiece" I always sing/hear 'centipede'

>> The sausage in the train
Nothin' Freudian about that!

Had a friend once asked me if Heart was really singing "Hard A**" (Heartless). Now, despite myself, guess what I hear?

Also, I had a teacher in junior high who liked the Marshall Tucker Band song, but heard it as "Pretty Little Love Song".

Re: "my wife singing "Miss Missy from Omaha". My daughter claims that it is "Miss Missy from Ohio!"

a girlfiend of mind in the 80's would sing "Cannonball"instead of -Panama-

alice cooper-ballad of dwight fry

"but now i hear those sirens callin ,and so i am not free"

the wife heard,*and so im in a tree"

great long running, adaptable artist by the way

In Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee I always here "Then we'll have some F***in' Pie" instead of pumpkin pie.

And my daughters think I need hearing aids..........................

Speaking of Panama, a friend always sang Had Enough

There are more but I can't think of them at the mo.

True enough...

And don't they mention feminine hygiene products in Manfred Mann's "Blinded by the light". Always sounded like he says "Wrapped up like a douche". Sounds different in the original Bruce Springsteen version

ah snowcone...what are they singing?

always liked that Beatles song 'Got to Get You Into My Wife'

Heard a dj from K-Hits here in St. Louis, tell a story of a friend of his singing the lyrics of Beast of Burden as... I'll never be your pizza burnin. Thought that was pretty funny.

I think the original Springsteen words were "Revved up like a deuce..." a reference to driving your hot-rod deuce coupe.

I think that in the Brit dialect of the American language "douche" has a more polite meaning, it refers to a shower. After working out, a guy might say "I need to go take a douche."

In "All Along the Watchtower" I always heard "While other women came and went, their foot-servants too.." in stead of "...barefoot servants too.."

Actually, I sorta like my version, it might be a little more evocative of medieval times, and I feel that the song is set in those days.
