Misheard Lyrics

[Pezaholic22]

Just read the "peed in the water" line...cracked me up!!! ROFLMAO over and over again...I will never again be able to listen to that song...it was actually on the radio as I read that!!!!<p>I have a whole store of misheard lyrics but I can't think of any of them right now...I will be back and post more as I remember them!<p>Song: Lonestar's "come Crying To Me"<br>What I Heard: I'll leave the little blue light burning all night<br>Real words: ..Living room light<p>Song :Ricochet's "Daddy's Money"<br>What I heard: Country as a tourney green (incidentally there is a stuck-up fancy restaurant not far from me called the Tourney Green...mediaval theme going on)<br>Real word: Country as a turnip green<p>Song: Alabama's "If YOu're Gonna Play In Texas...."<br>What my best friend heard: ...You gotta have a fiddler in your pants. (She told me this in the car when it came on the radio and I nearly went off the road. However I'm sure there are at least a few fiddlers who wouldn't mind it too much...and they'd probably hang out in Texas whenever, say, Shania Twain was on tour!)<br>Real words: ...gotta have a fiddle in the band<p>Song: Gary Allan's "It Would Be You'<br>What I Heard: If it was a phone booth it would (missed a few words) your lips<br>The Real Words: If it was a full moon it would be a total eclipse. (I don't even know where I got that from!!!!)<p>Finally, not at all misheard lyrics, just a mini-parody of Diamond Rio's "How Your Love Makes Me Feel":<br>There's a skunk in the road<br>You swerve to the left <br>It smells really bad so you're holding your breath<br>Till you pass out then you die<br>That's how your love makes me feel inside<p>Written for a jerk who had a crush on my best friend and kept making passes at her. I wrote it, and we went over and serenaded him during lunch. He turned the funniest shade of purple...N

[Doug]

It happens all the time....<p><br>Song:<b>Goin through the Big D (and I don't mean Dallas)</b> Mark Chestnut I think<p>What I heard: She got the Two Bedroom Mortgage is due...Dynamite View or Satelite too...palace..<p>Real Words: She got the Two Bedroom Mortgage is due, SIDING LIGHT BLUE, Palace...<p><br>there are plenty more :) Cool Topic...<p><br>N

[CMFAN20]

HA HA this is a good topic because just today my niece and I were outside cleaning up the back yard when Garth came on the radio... So this of course just thrilled her. LOL she's almost 3 years old and just loves Garth. So we are sitting there and Standing Outside The Fire came on and she started singing... STANDING OUTSIDE WITH FLYS!!! HA HA HA She had no clue that she was singing it wrong, and I just couldn't help but start laughing... LOL it was adorable. :D<p>PaulaN

This was in the 'Belfast Telegraph'last November;<p>40 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT GARTH BROOKS;<p>11: Reached #1 with 'Much Too Young' (To Feel This Damn Cold)'<p>N

[kristen166]

I am not a DWIGHT YOAKUM fan, but he had this song, I do not know what it is called, but I kept thinking he was saying, "I GOT PICKLES IN MY HEAD" and I think he is saying, "I GOT PROBLEMS IN MY HEAD."N

[Brits]

Hey, Pezaholic22, I thought it was "Little blue light", as well...<p>O.K., I have a few apart from that whole "Peed in the water" thing.<p>Song: Roy Orbison's "Oh Pretty Woman"<br>What my mother heard: If it's a lemon tree, O.K.<br>Real words: If that's the way it must be, O.K.<p>Song: Steve Wariner's "Every Little Whisper"<br>What she heard: I know that Mama lied.<br>Real words: I know that I'm alive.<br>(Found out about that one when she asked me what his mama lied about)<p>Song: Trisha Yearwood's "She's In Love With The Boy"<br>What I heard: What's meant to be has always spun away. (don't ask me why I heard it like that)<br>Real words: What's meant to be will always find a way.<p>Song: Elton Jhon's "Sacrifice"<br>What I heard: Cocoa heart. (The rest of the song I couldn't make out <i>at all</i>)<br>Real words: Cold, cold heart.<p>Song: Elton Jhon's "Passengers"<br>What I heard: And riding on a string.<br>Real words: And riding on this train.<p>(Whoops, I'd better not get started on Elton John; I could never make out any of his songs, and we could be here all day!)<p>Song: Alan Jackson's "Right On The Money"<br>This one I didn't mistake the lines of, I just thought that it sounded like he was saying this:<br>Cheese, right on the money.<br>Real words: She's right on the money<p>That's all for now...I'll be back with more, though!<br>HazelN

[cybersadie]

This is a great topic! The fiddler in your pants thing cracked me up (of course if the fiddler were Jimmy...)<p>Well, when I first heard Trisha Yearwood's "Little Hercules"<br>I heard: The mets may be invincible but we are only strong<br>She said: Myths may be invincible...<p>N

[Pezaholic22]

Song: Tim McGraw, Where The Green Grass Grows<br>(No matter how many times I hear this song, the first thing I think of when I read the title is still that old kid's song about 'where the green grass grows all around, all around, and the green grass grows all around.')<p>What I Heard: And the camel's wearin' me a big straw hat/or/And I saw Luke Perry in a pink straw hat<p>Real Words: And the camel's buried in a big straw stackN

[ObsessedwithGarth]

I got one and I still don't know exactly what he is saying:<p>Dwight Yokam's Little Sister where he says ah sooky or what ever it is.I swore at first that he was saying ah suck it. :o So what does he say?N

[Pezaholic22]

That is one of the great mysteries of country music, I think. I've read it tons of times before from all kinds of people; I don't think Dee-white himself knows what he says in that song. :)N

[Conor McLaughlin]

This happened a month or two before I became a Garth fan....<p>Bear in mind, I didn't know what the song was called then.<p>ACTUAL LYRICS: "We're two of a kind, workin' on a full house"<p>I HEARD: "We're two of a kind, workin' nine-to-five hours" <p>(It looks even stupider now that I've written it down!!)N

[Anonymous]

My friend heard I do (Cherish You) by Mark Wills and asked--why does he share a shoe?<p>I love Tracy Byrd's Big Love...On the way to a baseball game you can say "I've got a big Glove"<p>That's all I can think of right now.N

[MrPuck2]

Hey ObsessedwithGarth, <P>Are you sure that that is from Little Sister? I thought it was from Fast as You! Maybe not though, I don't have any idea waht he is saying either.N

[Conor McLaughlin]

OK, I've read this "peed in the water" line thing. But, I haven't a clue what your on about.<P>Tell me what song it's from and what the actual line really is.<P>Thanks.N

[MJ]

Its from Tim Mcgraws "For A Little While" and the actual line is "feet in the water".There is another thread around here somewhere with the whole story.(I think Britts was the originator.The name may be what's he saying or something to that affect.N

[theking]

That Dwight Yoakam line "suki" is from "Fast As You", not "Little Sister".<P>The question about the Dwight line "I got problems in my head" or "I got pickles in my head" is from "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere" and it goes:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>I got heartaches in my pocket<BR>I got echoes in my head<BR>And all that I keep hearing<BR>Are the cruel cruel things that you said<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>N

[Debbie R]

OK, I'm hoping somebody can clue me in on the lyrics to this hit song. I don't even really like the song, but it bugs me that I can't understand it.<P>26 Cents by The Wilkinsons (I think)<BR>The chorus goes something like:<BR>26 cents, quarter for the call, penny for your thoughts.... and THEN WHAT???? I have no idea what they say next!! Everytime I hear this song I try to listen closely and just hear somethin somethin somethin mama's love!!??N

[JulieLvsGB]

Debbie R<P>Isn't it? A penny for your thoughts, a quarter for the call, and all of your mama's love.<P>JulieN

[Hyacinth]

According to the way the local band sings it, Dwight's word is "sucker." <P>I miss words in Garth's songs occasionally...(does this ever happen to you...even after you know what the word actually IS you still hear it wrong in your head???) It took me forever to figure out that the cowboy's love is IN TULSA. I thought he was saying "a tossup". I had to look it up! I also didn't hear "Hurry up" put her on the line, but I didn't have a word for it. That one I got from reading his lips on the video. I'm hard of hearing, so there are lots more examples :).N

[Brits]

OK, I have another one.<P>Song: Fly (The Angel Song) by The Wilkinsons.<BR>What I heard: Heaven bound, Dumb, Mystified.<BR>Real words: Heaven bound, I'm mystifed.N

[CaptMorgan]

Here's one I'm really hoping that I'm hearing wrong.<BR>On Alan Jackson's song <b>Right On The Money</b>, this is the line that has me stumped..<P>"She's the best cook that ever melted cheese."<P><b>Please</b>, someone tell me this really isnt' the line.<BR>Every time I hear this, I go huh???<P>Catch y'all around the next bend...N

[JulieLvsGB]

CaptMorgan,<P>That what it sounds like to me too! Go figure?<P>JulieN

[Brits]

"She's the best cook that's ever melted cheese"<BR>That's-a-what he's saying! Got it straight from the "High Mileage" word booklet.<BR>Sad, isn't it?<BR>HazelN

[Debbie R]

Actually, coming from a non-cook, I think that "melted cheese" line is pretty cute. Even though all she can cook may be "melted cheese" (or grilled cheese as we all it in the midwest!) she's still right on the money!N

[Paula]

The line about melted cheese made sense to me, sort of along the same lines as someone who can't boil water.<P>PaulaN

[CaptMorgan]

Thank you all for the confirmation.<BR>I have to confess though, whenever I hear that line, I still go hmmmmmm? :)<P>Catch y'all around the next bend...N

[Gator_Girl_4_Garth]

OK, I just had to share this with ya'll....<P>The other day I'm driving in the car and my 8 year old daughter and I are listening to "Double Live" (of course). Well the song <b>"Two of A Kind"</b> came on and all of a sudden I hear my daughter singing....<P>"We're two of a kind...working on a Bell South". :D<P>Needless to say I about wet my pants from laughing so hard. I corrected her and told her the right words, but she decided she likes her version better.....<P>Kids, you gotta love them! N

[Conor McLaughlin]

"The Cowboy Song" had me stumped for months, here's what I kept hearing....<P>Pushing horns weren't easy<BR>Like old Jimmy said it was.<BR>And I don't recall no dance halls,<BR>Girls or hotel rooms and bugs.<P>You worked hot and tired and nasty<BR>Rode your pony's head too low.<BR>And there were all the nights she couldn't sleep<BR>Cause it was too damn cold.<BR>And you'd sing "Strawberry Road" and "Little Joe".<P>Like the time we hit the river and the rains began to fall<BR>And the water was risin' so damn fast <BR>We thought it'd drown this song.<BR>We lost a lot of steers that day<BR>And four or five good maps.<BR>But when all the boys rolled in again<BR>We knew that's what counts and we sang "YipeeTyYiYae" and "Amazing Grace".<P>Or the night they broke behind <BR>And they caught us on the ice.<BR>I whisted out to bonner, I seen the terror in his eyes.<BR>Well he rode on his horse for a while <BR>And I know he done his best.<BR>But he crossed over Jordan ridin' Dunny to his death and we sang "Bringing In The Shhep" and "The Rugged Cross".<P>I knew the last verse OK, but the rest was a bit pathetic!!N

[Cheryl]

My daughter's friend was upset that Trisha was making fun of blonds in her song, Powerful Thing.....instead of "have to be stone deaf, dumb, and blind" her friend thought Trisha was singing "have to be stoned, drugged, dumb and blond!" N

[George]

In response to the misheard line in Dwight Yoakam's "Fast As You," what he is actually saying is "Aw, sookie!" I saw him a few years back on TNN and he said he just liked the way it sounds! It's nothing but nonsense and he got it from a Steppenwolf song from the 60's! See www.steppenwolf.com. Hop this helps!N

[Gator_Girl_4_Garth]

Ok... I've got another funny misheard lyric...<P>The other morning around 7:30am, I'm getting ready for work and the phone rings....<P>My friend is on the line and wants to know who sings the song," I wanna know how the river feels". She just loves this song but doesn't know who sings it....<P>Well, of course I am <b>ROFLMAO</b>....<P>I told her it was Kenny Chesney and the song is " I wanna know how forever feels"! :)<P>N

[Anonymous]

Gator_Girl_4_Garth,<P>My mom heard the same thing in the song. When the video was first released we were watching it and for some reason she started singing along--this is weird becuase she isn't into country and it takes her a while to find a song she likes enough to sing along to. However, we all laughed when she started to sing "I want to know how the river feels".<P>She should have known better becuase me and my sister love Kenny Chesney and had been talking about the song since we first heard it in November. Well, at least she likes the song--just wish she knew the words.N

[Garth2gal]

First time I ever heard "In Another's Eyes", I thought it was "In a Mother's Eyes"! LOL... :pN

[Brits]

I've got another one!<BR>Before I ever knew who George Strait was, I heard his song <i>Heartland</i> on the radio. At first I didn't like the song, so I didn't listen to it very hard, and I thought the first lines were:<P><i>When your airplane fails,</i><BR><i>And you steal a guitar.</i><P>LOL!! For those who don't know, the real lines are:<BR><i>When you hear plane fiddles,</i><BR><i>And a steel guitar.</i><P>Hazel :oN

[Paula]

<b>Brits</b>,<P>I thought it was When you hear "twin fiddles" but I may be wrong.<P>PaulaN

[JulieLvsGB]

Been wanting to post this for the past couple of weeks, but have been forgetting.<P>When I first heard John Michael Montgomery's new song, Hello L-O-V-E, I thought he was saying:<P>Hello pain and misery...<BR>Hello, Hello V.D.<P>Do you believe that one? LOLN

[MJ]

I had the words right but I thought sure Joe Diffie was singing this song(and I have been listening to John Michael since he first started).My 9 year old son set me straight.N

[Crackerjack]

This was a while ago, but when my then 9 yr. old son heard "In Another's Eyes", I heard him singing in his room,<P>"In a Mother's Eyes"!<P>I thought it was so sweet. I've never corrected him.N

[Brits]

Whoops! :o<BR>Paula, I think you're right...Thank you!<P>Gator_Girl_4_Garth: Are you sure that your friend wasn't talking about Diamond Rio's song, <i>Now I Know How The River Feels</i>?<P>JulieLvsGB: I though that too! "Hello, Hello V.E.". WHAT!? It wasn't until the D.J. said it was <i>Hello L.O.V.E</i>, that I realised what he was saying.<P>I just <i>know</i> that I had a few more mistaken lines to post, but I can't remember them now...<BR>Oh well...<BR>HazelN
