Misheard Stevie Lyrics

[BlackWidow]

My latest favorite was "Illume"
Originally I thought she said:
"Illume..like Keith's dad said, I am a cliffdweller from the old school.
instead of -
"Illume..like it dances. LOL!:D

Next time listen for it..it's a Keith Olsen reference..lol!!!

[iamovercome]

When I heard EO17 for the first time I thought she said "I will f*ck will an angel desire to please"

[Lala]

When I heard EO17 for the first time I thought she said "I will f*ck will an angel desire to please"

Me too!

"But never have I been a blue corn seed/I have always been a storm."

I think I actually sang that out loud a few times before it actually registered that it made no sense.

[rbs3676]

"Paper Doll" ~
"Yesterday I was masterbated by somebody else..."


Horrible, I know....but true...:shrug:

:lol: That one really made me LOL.

[skcin]

We've had several threads like this, of course I can't find them now for some reason.

For years I thought that "well I've showed you all my cards" from TTM was "Well I've showed you, oh my God, well isn't that enough"

Someone posted that they (or someone they knew) thought "pick up the pieces" from GDW was "pick up the pizzas." I still laugh about that one. :D

[michelle2677]

I have several

Stop draggin my heart around on "so you had a little trouble in town"
I thought was "ran a little trouble"

or is it the other way around??:lol:

anyway-NQA
"when I see him..I feel him-there's an intenseness, in him...in his eyes"
I thought was "there's an intenseness..in his arms...in his eyes"

paper doll-
"he says 'well I have forgotten you and your beautiful eyes' "
I thought was "your beautiful lies"

I don't want to know
correct: "finally baby-the truth has been told"
michelle:"finally baby-the truth is getting told"
correct: "you say you love me but you don't know"
michelle:"but you don't boy"

I know someone who thought gypsy was "you'll say you're a gypsy" and on "the chaaaaain...keeps us together"-they looked at me and said "who in the hell is shane??"

that's all for now. There are tons

[TheBlueLamp]

For years I thought that "well I've showed you all my cards" from TTM was "Well I've showed you, oh my God, well isn't that enough"



I thought those were the words too! For YEARS!


anyway-NQA
"when I see him..I feel him-there's an intenseness, in him...in his eyes"
I thought was "there's an intenseness..in his arms...in his eyes"


I just had to listen to NQA. I was SURE it was 'in his arms'! :o

I have a few others too:

It took me forever to realise she wasn't singing "I'm waiting for a kneejerk to just something I must do" in Kick It.

I thought the line in Greta was "just how many odd lovers can one get to know"

The Nightmare is the worst for misheard lyrics for me.

"She paled in the wake" becomes "she failed in the way"

and

"Well, if she had flung out her heart against him
Then in all of her wisdom" becomes "Well she has love in her heart that gets invented all the wisdom"

I think I need to take a refresher course in Nicksian lyrics :o

[BlackWidow]

In Gypsy..I thought she sang:
"She was just a witch..she was just a witch"
Instead of, "She was just a wish"

[foxyluva]

When I first heard "Everday", I could have sworn Stevie was singing:

"Everyday I see you,
Everyday I need you,
Everyday I breed you..."

:laugh:

[sparky]

"Paper Doll" ~
"Yesterday I was masterbated by somebody else..."


Horrible, I know....but true...:shrug:


rbs'

That was a full on freudian slip on yer part, mister. :lol:
You probably were !

[aleuzzi]

Here are two howlers:

1. The first time I eard "Landslide" (back wen I was about 10) I thought se sang "And when I saw my reflection it was no cup of tea."

2. Then, later, when "Stand Back" came out I first thought "I need a little sympathy" (at the end) was "I need a little simple beat."

[JazmenFlowers]

In Gypsy..I thought she sang:
"She was just a witch..she was just a witch"
Instead of, "She was just a wish"
I can not tell you how long I thought that was the correct lyric too! for, like, forever. seriously. :laugh:

[chiliD]

Someone posted that they (or someone they knew) thought "pick up the pieces" from GDW was "pick up the pizzas." I still laugh about that one. :D


That would've been ME! (of course) :thumbsup:

[michelle2677]

planets of the universe
correct: the earth and the sea and the sky, is at rest with the ocean
michelle: is impressed with the ocean

whatever.


:lol:

[Oona]

the one I have so burned into my head is from After the Glitter Fades.....
"Even tho the lemonade's sometimes laced with limes, t'sallright...".
I even have been known to sing it this way, when alone of course.

[michelle2677]

oh of course!!:laugh:

your secret's safe with us!!! :wavey:

That is so true about TTM.:nod:

Thanks God, mystery solved. :p

My dad thought she was saying "sand bags" in Stand Back on the radio when I was little.

[ryan8472]

"Paper Doll" ~
"Yesterday I was masterbated by somebody else..."


Horrible, I know....but true...:shrug:


rbs
:lol:

I laughed literally for a minute straight over this. :nod: :laugh:

[gina]

My ten year old thought the lyric in Dreams was "when the rain washes you, clean your nose".

[SuzeQuze]

Me too!

"But never have I been a blue corn seed/I have always been a storm."

I think I actually sang that out loud a few times before it actually registered that it made no sense.

Ah yes! Someone else with the blue corn seed head. :lol: I somehow made it make sense to me until I finally learned the real lyric and then it was, "Of course!"

My friend thought that in Stand Back

"Like a willow I can bend" was
"Like a weirdo I can't dance"

:lol: She was trying to learn the song and had written out the lyrics. I nearly peed when I saw that line.

Someone once said they thought "Enchanted" was "aunt Janet". Oh that kills me.

I know I used to get a bunch wrong but I can't think of them right now!

[joshywashy377]

During the bridge part of I Cant Wait I thought the wierd voice thingys said "how will your donation help me?"

[UnwindedDreams]

Someone once said they thought "Enchanted" was "aunt Janet". Oh that kills me.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[TheWILDheart]

"Like a willow I can bend" was
"Like a weirdo I can't dance"
!

OMG!! When i was a wee whipper snapper my Dad played this I thought she sang "weirdo" too. I was like "yeh, you'd REALLY yell Stand Back at a weirdo. You'd just kick him and run. lol.

[jannieC]

In Gypsy..I thought she sang:
"She was just a witch..she was just a witch"
Instead of, "She was just a wish"

Oh yes, I thought that for YEARS. I think the whole world thought that though.

During the bridge part of I Cant Wait I thought the wierd voice thingys said "how will your donation help me?"

I thought that was "poly is interational". No, that isn't a mispell, that's exactly how I sang it, KNOWING it made no sense.

[joshywashy377]

I've done that exact same thing, where u know it doesnt make any sense but you gotta sing something. My mom always played Gypsy in the car when i was young and I would sing "like lis-drives, maybe once maybe twice" and "to a room with sownlays and vapor flowers"

[jannieC]

I've done that exact same thing, where u know it doesnt make any sense but you gotta sing something.
Yes! That's exactly it- too funny. :laugh: :laugh:

[DrummerDeanna]

My sister thought in gypsy it was, "She was just a witch..." :rolleyes:

[amber]

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: You guys are cracking me up.

Ah, when don't I mishear her lyrics? I happily have been singing songs for years without knowing them. My best made up ones were from Storms, because they still made sense. I still don't quite know that one part in Edge. I mean, I've looked up the lyrics, but then I forget again. I just sing whatever same noises she is singing right then. Gold & Braid was another challenge. The whole "easycuhtheteassheseesa payethweh,anasehsehgoieyy,uh-sheslistowusadooway-waietheyalwayalltheseyeahs" :rolleyes:

ahem:

"Living, through each, empty night. Identical inside."

"So I search to find a next affair - so I can truly win."

See? Those lyrics could work, too, right? :laugh:

Compared to the misheard lyrics y'all have posted here, I now feel like a genius. :laugh: But actually, you guys thought some good ****, mostly when I can't understand Miss Thing, I just sing the sounds rather than making stuff up, but you guys made up some funny ****.

God, the first time I heard SOTM I was totally mystified. Had no idea what the hell she was saying.
Which brings me to my favorite thing I heard a deejay say, way back when, before I was a super super super fan - I was 19, I think - Something about how if Stevie and John Fogerty ever did a duet, no one in the world would be able to understand what they said - most incomprehensible rock singers ever. :laugh:

And that whole "well well like a willow, I can bend"? I had no idea what that said for many, many years. I can't remember what I made up, but never in a million years was it close to the actual lyrics. Of course.
I have a long, long history of not hearing lyrics right. My mom loves to recall those tales.

[SortaSavageLike]

And that whole "well well like a willow, I can bend"? I had no idea what that said for many, many years.

I used to hear "well, like a wheel, I can't bend!" Like a wheel? :confused:

I still occassionaly hear "mounted lovers, watch them go up...and down..." in GDW.

[amber]

I used to hear "well, like a wheel, I can't bend!" Like a wheel? :confused:

I still occassionaly hear "mounted lovers, watch them go up...and down..." in GDW.

:laugh:

That's pretty good...

I think I heard a "wheel" thing, too, in SB. Or maybe a "widow" thing? I can't remember, but when I found out the real words, I remember feeling pretty stupid, and going "ooooohhh! Duh!" Yeah, duh, as if it should be obvious, when really, most things Stevie says are apropos of nothing. :rolleyes: She could be saying anything, at any time. :shrug: You might as well make **** up, it's not like she's so cohesive and obvious with her lyrics. Lol.

[witchy-poo]

i have one.
"my city of mountains, stay with me stay"

[jannieC]

"Living, through each, empty night. Identical inside."

Um, I just had to go look up he lyrics because that's exactly what I have always thought she was saying. :shocked: If I wasn't chained to my computer "writing my paper", I'd go out in my car and listen again.

I always thought it was "like a widow, I can't bend" :shrug: Again, doesn't make sense but you have to sing something.

[senseformiles]

"Somewhere I'm in the back of your mind.."
Should be, somewhere out...

Hmm, I can't think of all the others but I know there are a lot!

[jarlic]

First post.

For the longest time, I heard "everything sucked" in stead of "everything stopped" in EO17. :shrug:

[SapphireSister]

I have so many misheard Stevie lyrics and the funny part is that I'll just sing whatever I think I hear even if it makes absolutely no sense or isn't even a word. She's not the easiest person to understand when she's singing. I'm sure I sing something wrong in every song. At least I'm better than I used to be since I look them up now when I don't understand. Here are a few:

-"she was just a witch" instead of "she was just a wish"

-"magic moment" instead of "ivory morning" (pretty much all of The Nightmare my lyrics are completely off)

-"pick up the pieces and grow old" instead of "pick up the pieces and go home"

-"she dances around on the boulevard" instead of "she dances around in a circle"

-"still I get this feeling" instead of "still I carry this feeling" (same with L&L, half the stuff I think she is saying makes no sense whatsoever).

-"I am my own mind" instead of "I have my own life"

-"My eye-make-up is dark and it's killing" instead of "My eye-make-up is dark and it's careless"

-"long clouds of white" instead of "long nets of white"

-"all the way that I do anytime" instead of "All the way down to Emmiline"

-"Your shinin' on an ocean crashing" instead of "Your shinin' autumn ocean crashing"

-"I would try" instead of "I would cry"

-"and they said" instead of "undoing the laces"

-"when the rainbow sheds you clean you'll know" instead of "when the rain washes you clean you'll know"

-"and it's still that subtle memory" instead of "in the stillness of remembering"

-"just like the one winged dove" instead of "just like the white winged dove"

-"it's been a gold and braid" instead of "it's a bit of gold and braid"

-"There's no pain and there's no sound" instead of "There's no pain and there's no doubt"

-"second place, second time" instead of "certain place, certain time" actually a lot of Seven Wonders is unintelligible.

-I can't being to tell you what I hear instead of "A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect"

-"to a room with sun laced and paper flowers" instead of "to a room with some lace and paper flowers"

-"my love lives in a world of both pleasure and pain" instead of "my love lives in a world of false pleasure and pain"

-"Special knowledge holds truth best beleive it" instead of "Special knowledge holds truth bears believing"

-"Sounded good on a ???? card one more big time rock and roll star" instead of "Sounded good on a delicate white-ribbon card one more big time rock and roll star"

-The entire song Rock a Little is one big mumble.

I could seriously go on forever with these...

Stevie is the Queen of misheard lyrics!:p

[jannieC]

I just thought of another one which is nutso because it's from one of my alltime favorites:

"I never doubted...your beauty....unchanged..." instead of "I've changed" but in my defense this was before I had ever heard a live version. And I was thinking of the real beauty and the beast and how she never doubted his beauty while he was still the beast...unchanged. *sigh*

[amber]

Um, I just had to go look up he lyrics because that's exactly what I have always thought she was saying. :shocked: If I wasn't chained to my computer "writing my paper", I'd go out in my car and listen again.


Lyrics sheet says it's "A deadly call inside".

[jannieC]

Lyrics sheet says it's "A deadly call inside".

Right, but I was saying that I always thought it was "identical inside" until that moment. When you posted that, I mean.

[amber]

Right, but I was saying that I always thought it was "identical inside" until that moment. When you posted that, I mean.

Yeah, and then I was saying it's not, and telling you what the lyrics sheet said. :D

[jannieC]

Yeah, and then I was saying it's not, and telling you what the lyrics sheet said. :D

Oh, ok. But I went and checked myself. But thanks for having my back, anyway. :wavey: :xoxo:

[DrummerDeanna]

:eek: I always thought it was "a dealy calm inside" oy.

[BlackWidow]

Lyrics sheet says it's "A deadly call inside".

Actually the original lyrics were:
"A deadly calm inside" -
In the studio she changed them to - "A deadly call inside":nod:

[michelle2677]

:eek: I always thought it was "a dealy calm inside" oy.
I thought this for the longest time too.

longest time meaning, like, up until about a month ago.

of course I'm the same person who thought stevie was singing the chorus to "come"

Gawd I still can't get over that one.

[elie]

Actually the original lyrics were:
"A deadly calm inside" -
In the studio she changed them to - "A deadly call inside":nod:

Oh I like "deadly calm" better I think ..

Also in"Storms", I would hear
"I' d like to leave you with something more", instead of "warm".

[strandinthewind]

Oh I like "deadly calm" better I think ..

Also in"Storms", I would hear
"I' d like to leave you with something more", instead of "warm".

I always though that about more instead of warm.

Also, the deadly call inside horrified me when I first heard it because it reminded me of suicide.

[DashingDan]

1. Though people said, "somewhat shadowed"
Her eyes, her mystery

2. You see a pathway
hand and hand from the doorway
Been waiting there all day
All these years

3.In his heart, he wishes to forget her
Like to make her better
Own her like a child

[mikeschmike]

Funny, I always thought that line in Storms was "A deadly calm in sight."

Meh...screw it. I'm singin' it my way.

[Sahara]

-"magic moment" instead of "ivory morning" (pretty much all of The Nightmare my lyrics are completely off)


Oh yeah, I can see where you got that from ... no ... no, wait I can't. ;) Where did that come in?!

-The entire song Rock a Little is one big mumble.


:laugh:

[Sahara]

"who in the hell is shane??"


*laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs*

:] BRILLIANT!!!

[bookie29]

Oh I like "deadly calm" better I think ..

Also in"Storms", I would hear
"I' d like to leave you with something more", instead of "warm".

I agree and agree again.

Also in "Sara" I always said " a great dark wing, within the winds of a storm". What are wings of a storm? That has always bugged me.

[BlackWidow]

I always though that about more instead of warm.

I loves me some Storms!:thumbsup:

[jannieC]

Yup, me too. :wavey:

[michelle2677]

I probably posted this already (can't remember and too lazy to look through the thread:o )

on wild heart
dare my wild heart....dare my wiiillllddd....heart

I thought it was "damn my wild heart" which I like better

[BlackWidow]

I agree and agree again.

Also in "Sara" I always said " a great dark wing, within the winds of a storm". What are wings of a storm? That has always bugged me.

You have obviously never been.."within the wings of a storm"..lol.

[The Catdancer]

I always heard "Long nets of wine cloud my memory", instead of:"Long nets of white cloud my memory". I was like:"What the hell is a long net of wine???" but it made sense because I thought she wrote the song after rehab so her memory was clouded by "long nets of wine".

Another one is "I never doubted your beauty, I'm chained".

"Wait a minute, baby, stay with me a while, said you give me light but you never told me about the higher.....".

And then Peg's (my g/f) all time favorite (she teases me relentlessly with it: I def. heard Stevie sing "Just like the Worthington" instead of "Just like the white winged dove". And I actually said that to her when I met her in France in '81. You should've seen her face...... and you should've seen mine when I saw the correct lyrics..... :D ahem

[BlackWidow]

I love "Even though the lemonade's somtimes laced with limes"
LOVE THAT!

[petep9000]

I used to sing "Moments in wine cloud my memory" instead of "Long nets..."

To me, 'Moments in Wine' sounds more like something that would cloud her memory. Oh, that and the 9,987,176 Klonopins she was poppin' daily back then.

that's all for now. There are tons

Good ones!:nod:

[michelle2677]

I just learned of a few misheard lyrics for me

correct: she's home now, and she says I've gone far beyond that song
Me:she's gone now...etc.

correct: some circles around my eyes
I thought she said "same circles" :shrug:

At the moment I can't think of any funny misheard Stevie lyrics - although I know they are in dark recesses of my mind. But regarding a related artist, Sheryl Crow --- when her hit "Steve McQueen" was all over the radio, my five year old neice (having no reference for that name) would sing "Steve The Queen."

Also, going way back to the mid-seventies, a big hit at the time was a song called "Rock The Boat."

The line: And I'd like to know where you got the notion
Heard as: And I'd like to know where you got the nose job:thumbsup:

[DrummerDeanna]

my five year old neice (having no reference for that name) would sing "Steve The Queen."

Well he seemed broken hearted - someday we'll kill him! :rolleyes:

Absolutely LOVING this one!

One of the best I've ever heard is my mum's version of Edge of 17...
"Looks like the white window sings a song sounds like it's sing"
What the HELL?

I thought "long nets of white cloud my memory" in Rooms on Fire was "moments of light cloud my memory"

Don't even ask me about Storms lol I've seen that a lot of people have problems with that one... I think I'm hearing a totally different song to what she's singing!

In "Sweet Girl," I heard "Who do you love to do" instead of "What do you love to do"

At the very end of "Seven Wonders" where she sings over the main melody, you know "Well if I hope and I pray yeah, maybe it might work out someday"
I heard "Well with my Bible I pray yeah..."

And the worst one is, I hate to say I thought this...
In "Love Is" where she actually sings "You've got the softest lips"
I heard this for the first two 2 three times until I realised no this cannot be what she's saying, for a start she's straight...
"You've got the softest tits..."

Yeah I know, absolute lunacy but what can you do!

well, I was playing a few of the demos, which are especially rife with mis-hearings. When the disc got to Castaway, a gal in the room made an odd face as if straining to hear the lyric. the lady asked me why someone might be singing "cast-a-rate"? It seemed that it was an odd song topic and what's with the extra "a" added in? I just told her that the extra "A" sylable just made it more lyrical and it fit the rythm better. I deliberately ommitted the info that the lyric wasn't "cast-a-rate".





ps....darn I need a spellcheck

Well, open up the window, and listen to Lorraine.

:wavey: I know the thread is sort of old, but I didn't feel like starting a new thread just for this:

In the Cleaning Lady version of Sara, does she sing " No sorrowful sorrow you can have no more" or
"No sorrow for sorrow you can have no more?"
Or neither? :shrug:
I've always thought "no sorrowful sorrow" but then I saw the other thing posted on a lyrics forum ..
