Imaginary Wrong Lyrics - Bennie and the Jets
« on: Thu, 10 September 2015, 10:53:57 »
I literally just today found out the real lyrics to this old song.  So for 20+ years I was singing them wrong.  And now I feel like an idiot, because the lyrics I was singing were totally ridiculous!  :))

So here's what I thought the chorus was:
"She's got electric boobs,
A mullet too,
You know I'd rather have a magazine, oh"

After talking to other folks in my office, everyone had a different (wrong) version of the lyrics.

Feel free to post your best imaginary lyrics for this or any other song.


By the way, the real lyrics are here.

Hey Jude - The Beatles

For the longest time I thought it was Hey Jew.  Didn't make sense to me, but hey, people were more overtly bigoted back then.


Also, more recently, Lean On by Major Lazer.  I thought the lyrics were "Bacchus, fire a gun" not "blow a kiss, fire a gun".

Reminds me of "Manta ray vs fat irene":

I actually don't know the real lyrics and don't really want to. They can't be as epic as "Pounding out her best friend, turns into obsession, cannot killl the fat Irene!"

A Finnish friend told me about this one: "Slow walking Walter, the fire engine guy" - Smoke on the water

And then there's this, it's older, but still amusing:
