Misheard Song Lyrics

[Patrick]

My French wife told me a funny one tonight.

She said when she was young, she heard Bonnie Tyler's song "It's a Heartache" and thought to herself...

'Why is this woman singing about a hard egg?



Another gem...

A Radio DJ from my city related a story on air that a guy phoned the station and requested "I Was Barney Rubble" by Tom Petty.

The caller of course meant "I Was Born a Rebel"

Do any of you have a funny misheard lyric story?

I thought Coldplay’s “Sugar” was “Shaw Nuff” for a while…

One of my favorites:

Hold me closer Tony Danza

instead of

Tiny Dancer
Elton John

I used to think for a while that Rihanna's song "Umbrella" had the lyrics "Under my arm forever" when it first came out in 2008. Then I realized about a month later that the lyric actually was "Under my umbrella." Suddenly the lyrics mentioning rain made much better sense.

Go figure...!
