Have you ever sung a song for years only to discover – to your embarrassment – that you’ve had the lyrics wrong the whole time? Happens me all the time!

There’s a lyric in Jimi Hendrix’s Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) where Jimi sings “’scuse me while I kiss the sky“. For decades people have heard this as “kiss this guy“, which unfortunately leads to speculation about Jimi’s sexual orientation instead of just enjoying the damned song!

Well, some bright spark (who obviously suffered from the same problem) started a site where you can share your lyrical faux pas with other hard-of-hearing types. The site is called The Archive Of Misheard Lyrics and rather brilliantly, the domain is kissthisguy.com!

Where else could you discover that someone had translated the lyrics for Summer Of ‘69 from “I got my first real six-string, bought it at the five and dime” into “Got my first real sex dream, I was 5 at the time.”

This’d be a great place to fact-check your favourite songs before you ever sing them in front of human beings… :)
