Everyone sings the wrong words to songs sometimes. Here are some of my favorite ones that I have encountered.
“I’ll Be” by Edwin McCain
Actual Lyrics: “I’ll be your crying shoulder.”
This happened during soccer carpool in middle school. I was carpooling with 3 other girls, all named Sara(h). It went as follows:
Sarah T.: “I’ll be your crying so good.”
Sarah G.: “No, it’s ‘I’ll be your crying soldier’.”
Sara W.: “Guys, I’m pretty sure it’s ‘I’ll be your crying shoulder’.”
“Paint It Black” by The Rolling Stones
Actual Lyrics: “I see a red door and I want to paint it black.”
The Boz (my brother Dylan) treated us to this rendition over Thanksgiving: “I see a widow and I want to paint it black.”
“No Diggity” by Blackstreet
Actual Lyrics: “I like the way you work it, no diggity, I got to bag it up.”
I was belting this one out in the car with Andy one day. “I like the way you work here. No diggity, got to bag shit up.” Andy started laughing so hard I could barely understand him. He asked me if I thought the song was about working at a grocery store. FYI, it’s not. I still sing the wrong words because I can.
“Sister Christian” by Night Ranger
Actual Lyrics: “Motorin’. What’s your price for flight?”
I sing “Motorhead! What’s your price for flight!” Andy asked me if it was about sexual acts in a car. Apparently it’s not.
“Oops, I Did It Again” by Britney Spears
Actual Lyrics: “Oops, I did it again. I played with your heart, got lost in the game.”
The Boz was a little dude when this song first came out. He liked to sing, “Oops I did it again! I babe-it your heart!” I still don’t know what a “babe-it” is.
“Never Let You Go” by Third Eye Blind
Actual Lyrics: “I’ll never let you go, I’ll never let you go.”
When I was in middle school and playing for a soccer club, there was a team from the nearby town of Bellevue that was called Magico. Much to our dismay, we thought the words to this song were “I love you Magico, I’ll never let you go.” We did NOT like Magico.
Have you ever sang the wrong words to a song before?

hahaha! For Dirty deeds by ACDC by friend used to say "Beradine thunder jeeps"
Actual lyrics: Dirty deeds done dirt cheap! ha we still remind her of that :)
EVERYDAY. Everyday I sing the wrong lyrics, sometimes I don't even insert words, I just makes sounds that are similar to the whatever the hell is being sung. Because I'm baller.
xx
Chris sings the wrong words to songs all of the time. It's so damn annoying, but I love to make fun of him for it.
This is such a genius post. HAHA! Love it.
Are you ready for the worst one ever? My girlfriends and I came up with this one in high school, which makes it even worse.
The song "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed, lyrics "with arms wide open, under the sunlight, welcome to this place I'll show you everything."... we used to replace the word "arms" with "legs". HORRIBLE, I know. hahaha
The Kid sings.. Apple Bottom Jeans. Poops with the Smurfs..
I know these are not correct lyrics, but I swear in the song "Little Black Submarines" by The Black Keys, it sounds like "oooh, can of beans" instead of "oh can it be" - Derek and I both sing it that way now!
And my friend's little brother, named Jason, used to swear that TLC said "go, go, Jason, waterfalls" - he would have NONE of it that he was wrong. Adorable :)
Sara
Hahah! classic. I make up so many lyrics to Alice in Chains songs because he drags the words out.
I almost wanted Edwin McCain as my wedding song until I realized it was one of the top wedding songs ever. Alissa and I may have slow danced to it in my kitchen at my old apt. May have...haha
You know that Kendrick Lamar song that says DRANK over and over again? Justin swears he says FRANK. And I pee myself laughing.
Hahaha I love this!!! The "sister christian" one had me cracking up.
Mike, my boyfriend, is notorious for singing the wrong words and it cracks me up! These are pretty hilarious too! Thanks for sharing!
