Have you ever heard a queen song and thought the lyrics meant something else? I did in the song you and I, on a day at the races. I serously thought it said, not tonight, come tomorrow, when everything's sunny and bright, cause Freddie will be waiting for the moonlight. It's cause then we'll be waiting for the moonlight. Does anyone else have any lyrics they misheard? |

Hahaha, my friend always hears "im just a pool boy" instead of "im just a poor boy" LOL! |

In Seaside Rendezvous, I always thought the part, "What a damn jolly good idea" was just jibberish. |

like, everything in killer queen. "she keeps moet et chandon"->"she keeps a mohesian sandal"(from the country of mohay) "caviar and cigarettes, well-versed in etiquette"->"carry on, take a rest, we're bustin' etiquette" "gunpowder, gelatine"->"godfrede and geraldine" "wanna try"->"what a drag" "in conversation"->"in compensation" "met a man from china, went down to geisha minah"->"middleman from china, wouldn't dare to get yer mind on"(what does that even MEAN?) you can imagine my surprise when i finally looked up the words. |

what i REALLY hate, though, is when you mishear a lyric, see the real lyrics, and the misheard ones are better! |

I swear in Staying Power it says "Let's get John to the groove, make him move make him move" instead of "let's catch on to the groove...". Seriously, listen to it, ir really does! |

I just remembered another one from Hot Space.. On Life is Real, it sound like he says "tossers in my closet" instead of "torso's in my closet"! |
queen mercury 33542 23.08.2006 02:01 |
Yes. Killer queen is hard to distinguish. And so is seaside rondeview. Sorry. I can't spell that, and I'm too tired to look. Lol. I thought of another misheard lyric that I heard in somebody to love, but it's not the case. I thought it he said, I work hard, every day of my life, I work till I ache my balls instead of bones! That's horrible that I thought that! And I'll listen to the lyrics in hot space friend. Interesting. |

yeah, speaking of hot space, what DOES "torsos in my closet" mean? maybe this is common knowledge...but it always brings to mind american psycho or greek ruins, or something. |

oh, i remembered another one! in "life is real," when he says "i can take it or leave it," i kept hearing "i can take it on ebay," which of course didn't exist then! lol. |

I totally misheard most of the lyrics in Drowse. It was very funny when I actually took a look at the real lyrics. |

When Freddie sang Lets turn it on, I thought he said lets turn it on and start masturbating... Unless he really says that. |

thenymphinyellow 23.08.2006 08:37 |
haha! another one with the killer queen stuff i dont know how, but i got 'a neat little case she says...' instead of 'let them eat cake she says...' and in somebody to love where he says 'I take home my hard earned pay all on my own' I thought that was just jibberish. and probably the stupidest one was '..and we'll keep on farting til the end', hey I was only like 8! ahh embarrassing times!! hehehe! See ya later aligator! |

In AOBTD: "better put you back into your place" I always hear as "better push a bag into your face" |
The Classic 23.08.2006 10:26 |
Sometimes I'll sing these well known Queen songs with different lyrics. Try it this way the next time you are singing along with Freddie. "I Want to Break Knees." "Another One Bites the Dog" And me and my friends personal favorite... "LongHead" Instead of Headlong, we just switch the words. Beats me as to why... but it's sooooo much funner! lol Later |

Many times... of most i can't recall at this very moment. Apart from maybe on I Want It All where he sings "like an alley creeper" i kinda thought it was "meat cleaver". Then i realised how the hell can that fit! lol And when first hearing Machines i thought i couldn't quite work out what the hell it was about. It's better when it's sung clearly. Sometimes the music can be too loud over the vocal and make it difficult to work out like in Drowse. |

She's a Killer Quee-eeen Goodbye Virginity as opposed to Gunpowder Gelatine Also on the website Am I Right. Some misheard Lyrics include: We are the Tampons my friends and we'll keep on fighting till the end We are the Tampons we are the Tampons etc... I wondered how someone could believe that a song called We are the Champions could have a chorus that involves singing tampons |
Munchsack 23.08.2006 13:38 |
the GIRLZ are back in town wrote: She's a Killer Quee-eeen Goodbye Virginity as opposed to Gunpowder GelatineThat is brilliant. I can't really remember which ones I've done, but I know I have done it. In Let's Turn It On it sounds like Freddie sings "Let's stop everybody farting." Even though I know that's wrong, it still sounds like that. |
queen mercury 33542 23.08.2006 13:53 |
Torsoes in my closet. Have no idea what those are! Lol! As far as your brother getting the words wrong whoever wrote that, that's so funny! I laughed the whole time! Let's turn it on says nothing about masterbating, but I can see where you would find it to be about sex. I mean, lets turn it on? It would be another response to get down, make love, if the song said what you thought it said. Smile. I tried to write a parody called another one starts to cuss, and a friend and I wrote one called fat chockolate girls. Lol! Anyone wanna help me with one for killer queen? I thought of an idea of a girl who is crazy about dairy queen! |

hey 7 seas of rhye, your brother is hilarious. me and my friend could never figure out what freddie was saying during the breakdown in AOBTD. i think he says, "bite the dust, bite the dust yeah". but we would always say, "bite the dust, i'm adopted". or "i'm a doctor". |

Seriously, I thought the lyrics to Drowse were: It's a salad goodbye Yesterday's moments are remembered It's a blue stream, beating guardians I recall It's a misty abyss of hazier days Buy the son and the lazier lays There's always more visions of crapping and crying, and your mother and wife, it's too far apart. It's a fantastic drowse of the afternoon sundays Born into Asian tears It's burning me feet, just erased all your good times, Foxed with your liquorice fears. Well, at least I got some of it right. I know this is not the whole song, but I really don't feel like typing it all. |

My brother thought it was "I love my style" for "When love must die" in "Who Wants to Live Forever". I can't shake the fact that I thought "lady moon" was "many moon" in "Brighton Rock". My mom is very confused about "Killer Queen". She said recently "reccomend in epitaph" or something for "reccomended at the price". I think Freddie was harder to understand when he was younger. All slurry and stuff. This could be why people were really confused during my "Killer Queen" movie. It was funny, but only to two or three people who knew what he was saying... |

I listened to staying power after someone mentioned that it said let's get John to the grove, make him move. I can maybe hear him saying John, but it could be a slang on, you know? That's interesting. |
queen mercury 33542 23.08.2006 22:28 |
As speaking of people's names, like let's get John to the groove? Someone please listen to you and I. It soulnds really like cause freddie will be waiting for the moonlight, because it's so fast. Youc an probably und where I got that misheard lyric in me. Or is it misheard? Lol! |

It's quite sad, but for a good 10 years I was convinced the first line of I Want It All was "I played your Sega on an empty seat" and I used to think in Save Me it said "I clothed myself in glory, Angela" |

Not actually Queen, but one of the lines in Thick as Thieves by The Jam is "We stole from the drugs that sent us to sleep". When I first heard it, it sounded like "We stole from the church that sent us to sleep." I was disappointed when I read the lyrics because mine actually makes sense and it sounds better and is kinda funny (IMHO). |
