Queen misheard lyrics

Has anyone here ever sang a part of a song or heard the words wrong in a song and then find out that he completely sings a different thing. Or in other words, has anyone ever experienced mis heard lyrics in a Queen song? I find myself doing that all the time and it isn't just in Queen songs. I do it for other songs as well.

The one that sticks in my mind the most is that in "Hammer to Fall" when he says anesthetic, I was thinking he said "ass bandit" until I got "The Works" album and actually looked at the lyrics.

I could also never understnad the words to "Tie Your Mother Down" and then I got ADATR and finally got them figured out.

For awhile, I was convinced that instead of 'I'm just a poor boy' it was 'I'm just a pool boy' in Bohemian Rhapsody. I was the same with Tie Your Mother Down, too.

When I first heard Bo Rhap, I had never heard of the devil being called "Beelzebub" (bad sp, I know...sorry). So I had no idea what they were saying at that point.

In "Don't Stop Me Now" I thought instead of "I'm gonna make a supersonic woman of you", I thought he says "supersonic one out of you".

Also in Under Pressure I thought he said
"Quick my brains are on the floor"
not
"Kick my Brains around the floor."
:>

Wow, I have a lot of those.

-My Fairy King: I thought "pearls for poor man's eyes" was "birds will poop and die"

-Invisible Man: I thought "so I make my mark from the edge of the world" was "so I thank my mom from the edge of the world"

-Bohemian Rhapsody: There were so many, I can't even think of them all. Especially in the opera section.

I actually can't think of anymore right now...

Never had that myself, I always look at the lyrics for queen-songs... but a friend of mine had this with WWRY, he thought that they where singin: "kickin' your cat all over the place"....instead of "kickin' your can all over the place"

very funny....

Lol:)))))))))))))))

My sister always believed the song "All dead, all dead" was called "Odette", a song about a girl called Odette.

Somebody to Love: I once thought that "They say I got a lot of water in my brain" was "They say I got a lot of heavy trains." Bizzare.

The last line in Mustapha: As a kid I thought it was "Allah Coupe Soleil", when in fact it is "Aleikum Salaam".

Coupe Soleil is a word used in French and Dutch for blonde highlights in your hair.

My friend thought in Bicycle Race what it says "You say coke, I say cain" she thought it said "You say coke, I say can"

Somebody to Love: I thought "Got no common sense" was "Got no compensates"

Killer Queen: I thought "Recommended at the price" was "Recommend it at the pass"

Where did you get the lyrics from Mustapha?? They're not in the album....

I'd like to have those.. Just wondering what they sing...

Here's the lyrics to Mustapha:

I misheard the lyrics to Radio Ga-Ga...(actually I only found out the real words a few days ago)...but in a rare turn of events, my misheard lyrics actually made sense

Real
"You've had your time! You've had the power!
You've yet to have your finest hour!"

Mine
"You've heard the cry! You've heard the call!
You've answered well! Your finest hour!"

And before that, I thought "your finest hour" was "the fight is on!" Which still woulda made sense, because of the "battle" between radio and video.
