This may have been done before but it's always intriguing what people hear when listening to a song.

Personal fave as mentioned in the thread that inspired this one, has to be Shania Twains

"I can't believe you kiss your car good night"

that sounds more like

"I can't believe you kiss your c**k at night ... "

The other one that had me confused for a while was the word "Calytis" from Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. I thought it was an STD ...

"The girl with calytis go by"

It was only when I read the lyrics did I realise that it was actually "the girl with kaleidoscope eyes"

smiley - doh

The Police track 'So Lonely' always sounded to me like Sue Lawley who presented Natonwide at the time.

Infact it was even mentioned on the programme and the track was played for the viewers to decide if they thought so too.

I still can;t here it now with out wanting to sing Sue Lawley insead of So Lonely smiley - silly

Gnomon - time to move on

That's a great site. My favourite from a 2-minute visit to it is:

Beep goes the night, and long-stemmed lovers,
Beep goes the night, and long-stemmed us.

There's the other Madge hit "Ray of Light" where she has an obsession with Anna Friel.

And there's that bit in "The one that I want" in Grease, "meditate my erection" ... just sounds kinky!

For a long time I though TLC were singing a song about a bloke called Jason Waterfalls.

Fun Lovin' Criminals 'Big Night Out' "Cocaine makes you thinner", I heard as "Cooking makes you thinner." I spent a long time trying to work out how that could be true.

And of course, Beelzebub has a devil on his sideboard.

Oh, and while I'm at it: That Tori Amos song:

"Honey bring me my toaster back.
Honey bring me my toaster back.
Honey bring me my toaster back.
Honey bring me my toaster back.
Honey bring me my toaster back.
Honey bring me my toaster back.

It's gotta be a pig."

I've always heard Madonna singing about "Young girls with eyes like potatoes". Can anybody please tell me what she is really singing?

The other lyric I always misheard was from "Escape - The Pina Colada Song". "If you like making love at midnight, and the jewels on the cake". I thought he was singing about a fondness for cake decorations, until I heard the song on a friend's tape and suddenly understood the words!

Dr E Vibenstein (You know it is, it really is.)

There's a bit in "Way Down" where I'm convinced Elvis sings "Weighed down with a fireplace..."

*imagines the King with a fireplace on his back, struggling to carry it into Gracelands*
