Is THAT what they're singing?

After the “masturbate without you, honey” discussion from another thread, I wonder what other lyrics have been misheard and sung loudly and proudly for years. . .

I always thought the line in I Love The Sound Of Crashing Guitars was “Longhaired vintage cheeses”

Hehehehehe. If you ask me, that would be better than the actual lyrics. To show off Per’s humour, perhaps. Hehe.

Okay I’m gonna embarrssed myself... but when I first became a fan in 91 I thought Marie was singing:

“Hey now touch the sky, got a certain kind of look in my ZWEI!???” in THE BIG L!!!

I thought Roxette where German for about 6 weeks!

It was only when I bought the album and checked the lyrics I noticed my mistake!

(Hey! give us a break I was only 13!!!)

What about the start of “KEEP ME WAITING” sounds like double dutch! ha ha!

“I’m gonna get freshed without sex”

I still get teased for this one:

Madonna - Vogue:

“Grace Kelly; Harlow, Jean
Picture of a beauty queen
Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire
gingivitis, dance on air..”

Of course, it was not gingivitis but Ginger Rogers instead. I thought it was kinda odd... But hey, I don’t even know who Ginger Rogers is!

I always tend to hear Per sing “I remember when we both threw up” instead of “grew up” in ’Jefferson’.

And when I was younger I always misinterpreted the lyrics of ’CBB’ from “That’s my real middle-name” to “That’s Marie, a little name”.

Oh gosh! I had a book I used to call “Holy Book”. I took it everywhere I went and put it by my pillow every night after kissing it goodnight ofcourse. I wrote my Roxette lyrics in that book. Well knowing where I lived I couldn’t find the lyrics to the songs till later when myself or someone else would bring it in from Europe. Oh well... I once went over that book 3 years ago and it was so embarrassing that I hid it!!! Hahaha! I will bring in it next time I go home and scan a few pages for you to laugh. You cannot find lyrics worse than that. Quite a classic!
