"The girl with colitis goes by" and other misheard lyrics

I'm sorry but I can't forgive you...

Me too! I think those were the same years that I thought there was one letter in the alphabet song between k and p....and that letter was "ellemeno"

You could probably fill a book with the misheard lyrics coming out of "Louie, Louie" by the Kingsmen, eh?

I should know. I made many of them up myself.

"She's got a chicken pot pie!...and she don't care!"
(ticket to ride) - The Beatles
"Hold me closer Tony Danza..."
(Tiny Dancer) - Elton John
"I can see clearly now, Lorraine is gone"
(the rain is gone) - Johnny Nash
"This love has taken it's toll on me...She said goodbye to Mary Tyler Moore
(too many times before) - Maroon 5
I believe in marigolds!
(miracles) - Hot Chocolate
"I said, it's too late to order fries"
(too late to apologize) - One Republic

Lots of jokes made out of this kinda material.

Like the Mexican boy at the ballpark who they won't give a good seat and stick him on top of the flagpole. He later thinks everyone was "really nice" because they all stood up to ask him: "Jose, can you see?"

Or the thievin little italian katlik choir boy who thought the priest told him "Dominic, go frisk em."

For many years, I misheard 'Down at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun' from Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell as 'down at the bottom of a pool in a bathing thong'.

Billy Idol's Rebel Yell.


Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel came pumping on the floor
She said, come on baby, I got a license for love
And if it expires, pray help from above

I thought it was, Greyhound from above.
And then somebody told me no, it's rain hell from above.

Now I find out it's pray help from above
