What Are You Listening To?

This is so funny - literal video version, someone is singing what is happening in the video in the style of the song
Total Eclipse of the Heart


Here's where I pretend to Eva Peron - Look at me, I'm lifting my arms, there's nothing else to shoot, so zoom camera under this arch
Leaning on myself because there's two of me here, but now there's only one of me in this shot.
I pull my feathered hair whenever I see floating cloth

Now, I’ve been listening to Bette Midler’s album It’s The Girls this morning!🙂 Quite amusingly, I suddenly realised what the ACTUAL lyric is for the song Mr. Sandman that, I now know, I’ve always heard wrong!🙄 The correct lyric, I suddenly realised, is “Mr. Sandman bring me a dream”, which I’ve always misheard as “Mr. Sandman bring me a drink.”😱:D🙄


It’s the way that Americans pronounce things!🙄 For years I always misheard Michael Jackson’s lyrics & thought he was singing “Jam On”; jam on what? instead of “Come On”:D “Eddie, are you ok?” instead of “Annie, are you ok?”

NOW, the song lyrics actually make sense given that Mr. Sandman is associated with sleep & dreams: like the tooth fiary to children losing their milk teeth! Ahhh!🙄:D

Edited to add:-* Like the infamous misheard lyric “One ton of melon” instead of “Guantanamera“. Which, incidentally, I’ve always heard correctly since I know it’s a cuban cigar. But, I understood immediately when I read that a lot of people misheard from a thread about misheard song lyrics someone, sorry can’t remember who, posted on these forums recently!🙄

@Lanny You reminded me of a thread that @Chris Hobson opened called misheard song lyrics!

Ahhh! That’s the thread & the OP, thanks!

Apparently theres’s a website devoted to the misheard lyrics that people have substituted for that infamous Guantanamera, the Cuban cigar, song. It’s what our brains naturally do when we can’t hear a song lyric clearly: substitute it with something else!🙄 Some of the substitutions really make me laugh!😱:D

I only knew what it was because my younger brother used to love smoking cigars & he was aspiring to be able to afford smoking this renown brand of cuban cigars: still in secondary school at the time!:( He’s asthmatic, like me, so I’m glad he dosen’t smoke anymore but, scocially on occassions & in times of stress: it’s a TOUGH habit to break from completely!:confused:
 
One of my favourites is may you never ...by John Martyn but don’t have skills to put a link on here
 

I love this version sung with feeling by Leona Lewis
