This is a question Singing the wrong words

There's a grand tradition of singing the wrong words to jingles, hymns and the dreaded school songs. Or maybe you have a corporate anthem too cheesy for words? Tell us the alternate words you and your friends sang so that we can too.

R - Kelly Set himself up for this one
My mate just happens to be a massive R Kelly fan and refuses to believe the pedophile charges. Unfortunately for him he does keep playing 'Bump'n'Grin' by R Kelly in the car with me and so:

"My minds telling me no but my body, my body's telling me yeah baby i dont want
to hurt nobody but there is something that i must confess to you...

(Chorus)
I dont see nothing wrong with a little baby giiirl
I dont see nothing wrong shaggin an 8 yr old..."

Listen to the song and see, the variations are endless.

Lolas theme (the massive house track from last year)
I sung:

"Im my girlfriends toaster"

instead of:

"I'm a different person, Yeah"

for a good 6months until someone told me. Woo.

Mmmmmm
The best spazzed up misheard lyrics I think I have ever amused people with were 'I love Sausage Rolls' from Joan Jett.

Being 7 at the time really is no excuse.

The GF (a big dirty dancing fan) gets very annoyed...
....when I sing this along to her ultimate Dirty Dancing CD.

"Just a fool to believe that she doesn't eat baked beans
She's got bad wind..."

Nirvana: In Bloom
Sitting around the table.. trying to figure out the lyrics.

Sell the kids for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again
Rape the dog again...

Yep...

Do You Ken Teenage Kicks?
Whilst very drunk last New Years Eve we started singing 'Do You Ken John Peel?' as a tribute to the late JP.

Severel bottles later I suggested singing the word of 'Do You Ken John Peel' to Peel's favourite track 'Teenage Kicks' and, for one magical drunken moment, it worked:

‘D’you ken John Peel
‘With his coat so grey?’
‘D'you ken John Peel
‘When he’s far, far away?’

And, blow me, even though it was less than a month ago, that’s all I can remember.

Fluff
Coming home from the pub, this is what Mr SF and I used to sing to our cat Pillow, to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the cat
She is sitting where she always does upon the back door mat
She is purry and she's furry and she's smelly and she's fat
She's the best cat in the world.
Glory glory Pillowlujah, Glory glory Pillowlujah, Glory glory Pillowlujah
She's the best cat in the world.

Aaah.

Oh dear god, just rememebred!
My sister was a bitch and sang this all the time at me when we were kids, and still does at Christmas.
(in the tune of "Rudolph the rednosed reindeer")

Susannah J-ane Gill
Had a very big fat bum
And if you ever saw it
You would even say Ho-hum!
All of the other children
Used to laugh and call her names
They never let poor suzi
Join in any childrens games
Then what sunny summers day
Sophie came to say
Suzi with you arse so bright
You could blow them all away-yay-yay-yay
Then all the children loved her
They all shouted out with glee
Susannah J-ane Gill

You'll go down in history.

By some massive coincidence, about 4 years after moving north and
my sister not mentioning it to anyone, the bullies used to call me ruldolph thanks to my acne red nose...bastards!

Bros:
When I was a kid I used to alter the words to Bros's cheesy 80's hit 'When Will I Be Famous' to something like,

"When will I, will I be famous?"
"I can't tell you that, I'm mentally handicapped".

It was entertaining for all of 30 seconds or until me mum clipped me around the earhole.

More recently I thought the title to Limp Bizkit's piece of crud 'Rollin', was 'Holy Moley'. I thought the chorus went, 'Holy Moley, Holy Moley, Holy Moley'. A friend politely corrected me by stating that the chorus and title is 'Rollin'. I thought it was 'Holy Moly' simply brought about their disbelieving expressions in the music video that they - a bunch of talentless, fat goths and past it skate dudes could actually cruise around New York on the bonnet of a Bentley whilst still trying to look credible

Clapping song
Cant rememebr the original ending but its been the same for me and my sister for as long as we can rememeber!

Killing in the Name Of
When it first came out a mate of mine thought that the chorus of 'Killing in the Name Of' by Rage Against the Machine (which is 'Killing in the Name Of') was 'Do 'Em with a Claymore'.

Which, I'm sure you'll agree, is an amazing leap of imagination and a quite extraordinary knowledge of Caledonian weaponry for a bloke who once pronounced 'Surrey Quays' as 'Surrey Kways'.

I'll never get all those nights I wasted at provincial indie discos back. Siiiigh.

Pack Up Your Troubles
our pube-headed, monkey faced Baptist of a guitar strumming primary school teacher must also have been a Somme veteran, because for reasons best known to himself he taught us the Great War classics It's A Long Way To Tipperary and Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag. Naturally, "Kit" became "Shit", thus creating the funniest song in the history of existence to any 10 year old. But better was still to come.

Our class were in charge of the assembly that week, so we did a WWI theme: trench foot, bayonetting krauts, mustard gassing the year 4's etc. To finish, the whole hall sang the song he proudly announced his class had been learning all week. What happened was that we all sang it on repeat...every time it reached the beginning again another class were told to shut up and scram off to break. Our class were the eldest, and therefore the last to go. The sound of the word "Kit" slowly dying away and being replaced by "Shit" as the hall emptied is still one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed.

Oh if you insist...
... here's another.

Macy Grey: Though I try to hide it, I fear / I blow bubbles when you are not here

and back in the 80s, me and my mate used to sing this inspired version of George Michael's seasonal classic:

Last Christmas, I did a big fart
The very next day, I blew you away

Which, thankfully, was as far as it went.

Guns don't kill people, made up words do
Goldie lookin chain song, lyrics are "guns don't kill people rapper do (so do the police)". Not in my girlfriends head. driving home one day she just belts that line out at the top of her lungs with "guns don't kill people rappers do (flob-a-dob-a-dee's)" and looked very hurt when i killed myself laughing at her.

Since when did bill and ben do a cover version of that song?

The levelers
Well my daddy he was killed in the chip shop
Fighting for anothermans pie
and my brother he was killed at the bus stop
and my mother well shes going on the game.

This means nothing to me becomes:

fish keep talking to me to me
I think I might lay off the LSD

And the old fave:

If I could choose the life I lead
Then I would be a spaceman
Take LSD and extacy and I'll be off my face man

If I could choose the life I lead
Then I would be a fireman
I set a flame a mighty spliff and I'd get even higher man

But we were only young and foolish

A trestle being some sort of table....probably quite a spongy, horny table if we all insisted on feeling it.

Imagine by Julian Lennon
Imagine I'm my father,
It isn't hard to do,
I look exactly like him,
And I sing just like him too.

Imagine all my records
selling by the ton.
Just for the simple reason
that I'm John Lennon's son.
