MANGLED SONG LYRICS

I can`t be alone in mis-hearing song lyrics.  Here are some lyrics that people have managed to mess up in a funny way.  They are officially called "mondegreens."

 

Are you going to starve an old friend ?

Actual lyric: Are you going to Scarborough Fair ?

( Simon and Garfunkel)

 

All my luggage, I will send to you.

Actual lyric :  All my loving , I will send to you.

(Beatles)

 

Bald headed woman.

Actual lyric :  More than a woman.

( Bee Gees)

 

Donuts make my brown eyes blue.

Actual lyric :  Don`t it make my brown eyes blue.

( Crystal Gayle )

 

Come shave my heart.

Actual lyric :  Unchain my heart.

( Ray Charles)

 

Do a little dance,  make a little rum,  Italian Ice!  Italian Ice !

Actual lyric :  Do a little dance, make a little love,  get down tonight,  get down tonight.

( KC & The Sushine Band " Do a Little Dance")

 

Hang on stupid.

Actual lyric :   Hang on Sloopy.

( The McCoys)

 

Give me the Beach Boys and free my soul.

Actual lyric :  Give me the beat, boys , and free my soul.
