A Selection of Misheard Lyrics

Over the years, there have been many many songs where the lyrics are so muffled due to simply the style of singing, or an imbalance of the production, or just plain old mumbling ( 'Thank ye-ve-much-ev'one ) that some are hilarious. I am sure there were those who noted dodgy lyrics and got mileage out of them many years before I can recall the trend, but, in recent years, it was yet again good old Terry ' I've finally wised up - Eurovision is Fixed ' Wogan, who brought such silliness into millions of homes with his own favourites, such as the Hot Gossip lyric concerning Draught Excluders. As with some of the other lists on my site, I've simply plain ole nicked 'em, only way really. As usual I've taken a rather large bulk delivery let's say, and then indulged in some judicial pruning to try and keep the contrived / made up ones at bay, and even the plain old boring, of which there are quite a few; the sites devoted to this very subject seem to like listing the ones that don't add any mystery or sparkle, where the misheard lyric is just as bland as the correct ones, but, hopefully, not here. Oh, unlike other sites, I am not posting the original lyrics, they are only funny if you already know the song, so waste of time to do so. Enjoy
