![]() ![]() ![]() For years I thought Sting was singing about sausages in this song. Well, if you do often mishear lyrics, worry not – it’s really common and it happens to everyone! There are loads of songs like that for me. In fact, I think “kiss this guy” and “kiss the sky” are identical.ĭo you ever do Karaoke, see the song lyrics on the screen and realise you’ve been hearing all the words wrong, all these years? Or do you wonder if maybe the guy who did the karaoke subtitles didn’t have a perfect command of English and misheard all the lyrics? ![]() The connection of ‘this’ and ‘guy’ makes the /g/ and /k/ sound almost exactly the same. The real lyrics: “Excuse me while I kiss the sky” Sounds like: “Excuse me, while I kiss this guy” In fact, everybody does! Let’s listen to some song extracts in which the lyrics don’t quite sound as the singer intended. Do you ever listen to songs and completely mishear the lyrics? I do it all the time.
