Ever mistaken a song title for something else ? (as per an article in todays Daily mail) or indeed ,deliberately changed them in pure devilment...
One of mine is.. The Beatles " I wanna hold your gland....."
What's yours?

Sister Sledge: We Are Family
The real lyrics are: We're giving love in a family dose but to me, it sounds like, we're giving love in a 'femidom'

Well, as we've moved off song titles to lyrics, the most famous one of course is:
Abba Supertrouper:
I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
Usually misheard as
I was sick and tired of being thin
When I called you last night from Tesco
I used to have big arguments with my sisters on Bo Rap where Freddie sings
"Has the devil put aside for me...."
I was totally convinved (and sadly wrong) that it was
"Has the devil put a sack for me...."
Talking of Bo Rhap, I used to think the line..
"Spare him his life from this monstrosity" was actually " spare him his life from his pork sausages"
And the pretenders song Brass in pocket, where Chrissie sing " Gonna use my sidestep" I thought it was "Gonna use my sausage"............Hmmm, strange sausage fixation going on there....
My son singing a song I knew the melody to, but had no idea what he was singing.
He kept repeating "Skimpy the fish".
A few weeks later I noticed one of his old Birthday cards lying around. It's one that sings a sing when you open it....this one had a picture of Tina Turner on the front of it and when you opened it it sang "Simply the Best".
Bless him.
When my son was younger he was convinced that the chorus of the song by Eiffel 65 - Blue (da ba dee) was "In Aberdeen I will die" and he went around singing that for months...........it still makes me smile, as I can't listen to the song without hearing the alternative lyrics
"If you rebel against high heels, take care to do so in a very smart hat.'' George Bernard Shaw
An ex-girlfriend of mine used to sing along to Snap's The Power...she used to translate the lyric It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kind of hectic as skinny, skinny, skinny's got a habit.
And I never corrected her...
Video Killed the Radio Star by Buggles. I always thought this was about a guy who was dumped for being a drunkard.
'In my mind and in my car
'With country wine, we've gone too far!!'
That's what I thought he said for years
He actually sings 'In my mind and in my car. We can't rewind, we've gone too far'
First time I heard Hall & Oates singing "She's Gone"...I thought they were singing "Cheese Scone"......
Ciara's one two step i thought sounded like
all night super sonic hypnotic punky fish hahahah
it is infact...
automatic, super sonic hypnotic funky fresh!
i felt like such a numpty singing about punky fish infront of my mates!
Shania Twain's 'That don't impress me much'
The Lyrics are 'I can't believe you kiss your car goodnight'
I used to think he was kissing something else goodnight!
I can never make the lyrics out anyway.
When I sing along to songs it usually sounds like Norman Collins and his 'intermittent microphone' schtick. Sitting here this morning, though, I can only think of songs where I know the lyrics (probably because I checked them on the internet at some point, or where the LP had lyric sheets...)
Or famously, in the end line of One Vision, Freddie really does sing
"Gimme gimme gimme fried chicken!"
rather than the more plausible
"Gimme gimme gimme one vision"

Either way I'm intrigued to know what the devil it means: can you explain your interpretation of: "has a devil put aside for me"?
