When it all goes wrong.

I've had one of those weeks I'd rather forget. Apart from the fact I got tricked on April Fool's Day, I missed a really important meeting, I didn't reach my word count for two days in a row, and my kids started laughing hysterically when I sang the words to one of my favourites songs on the radio. The reason they laughed wasn't because I was off key....at least I don't think I was.. it was because they said I had the lyrics completely, ridiculously, tragically wrong.

Has that ever happened to you? You've sung a song a hundred and fifty times, matching the lyrics word for word, only to suddenly realize you'd got it terribly, terribly wrong? The song I was singing was Macy Gray's "I Try" which I've always loved, and for some inexplicable reason thought she said "I wore goggles when you were not here."

Have a listen. Am I wrong? http://www.tubechop.com/watch/5621324


And then it got me thinking about all those other weird lyrics that never seemed to make any sense. I always did wonder why, in "The Police" song it was "a year since I broke my nose". Can you hear it?  http://www.tubechop.com/watch/5621351

The kids were laughing uproariously at this point and so I started to really worry that I'd been mishearing every lyric of every song. Bon Jovi came on the radio and I suddenly wondered if they were saying "it doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not": http://www.tubechop.com/watch/5621361

So, in the spirit of people making a fool of themselves everywhere...and because lots of us have a holiday for Good Friday today, I thought I show you a whole lot more misheard lyrics and ruin it all for you too!

Tell us the lyrics you've suddenly realised you got wrong.

Hope the Easter Bunny brings you lots of chocolatey treats this weekend X
