We have all been caught singing the wrong lyrics to a song at one time or another. You know, you pretend you know the words and then you just kinda hum and mumble something to make it look like you really know the song? Why do we do this? Below are a few examples of misheard lyrics (80s style)....some of which I am guilty of singing and others that I just think are hilarious. We'll start with the one at the top...
1.Elton John
Tiny Dancer
Original Lyric: Hold Me Closer Tiny Dancer
Misheard Lyric: Hold Me Closer Tony Danza

3. John Cougar Mellencamp
Jack and Diane

Misheard Lyric: Scratches His Head and Does His Best to Change His Jeans

Okay. I will admit it. I am VERY guilty of this all the time. I do not know what compels me to sing to every song whether I know the words or not.
I still do this with some songs today! It is not an 80's song, but there is a CCR song that sounds like it says "there's a bathroom on the right" but it is saying "there's a bad moon on the rise"! Love ya!

Haha! I love this list!!!!
Happy day to you, Beautiful!!!!
I have a couple from childhood friends. The first is the chorus of Stayin' Alive (the 70s not the 80s, but pretty close). Instead of "Stayin' alive" my friend insisted it was "Stay in the lines." Can you tell she liked to color?
And my second favorite is from another friend and it's from Michael Jackson's Don't Stop Til You Get Enough. In that chorus, instead of "Keep in with the force don't stop," she thought it was "Come on, eat a pork chop." admittedly, it does sound like he's singing that...
Anyway, thanks for another fun post!
Well, of course, you know the most misheard lyrics I could think of are courtesy of Manford Mann and they are the lyrics to "Blinded by the Light".
Funny, this is the second time today I read "Hold me closer, Tony Danza" that just always makes me laugh. I had a book of misheard lyrics, it was so funny. It was called "Excuse me while I kiss this guy."
