Hey Sandy - Misheard Lyrics


What did you think the lyrics for Hey Sandy were when you were a kid?

Mine:

His Mom is strange
You're lookin' happily deranged
Can ya settle a shoom-bay
Or have you picked your dog head yet

His and me
Does your dog bite
His and me

For the record, I was 10 years old when the show first aired.

I used to think it was "hey Cindy." I'm sure I misunderstood the rest of the lyrics, too, but that stands out to me for some reason.

reply

I thought it was

They Mighty Strange
They living hapily deranged
Can you settle to shoot me?
Or have you bitten your dog today?

reply

Alllright this is what I got....

Hey smiling strange,
you're looking happily deranged
could you settle to shoot me?
or have you picked your target.
Ai ya yah
don't you talk back...

i always thought it was 'does your dog bite?' as well!

reply

Mine:
It's mighty strange
You're looking at a little rain
Can you sit on a shoom-beh
And have you hid your garden well

His and me
(Aye-ai-ai-ai)
Does your dog bite
(Aye-ai-ai-ai)
His and me

always, --=tYCC=--
Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can't Lose.

It's mighty strange, when you're looking happily deranged,
A did a you a sid me,
Or have you met your darkest yet and say me,
ya ya ya ya,
But you talk by ay ay ay,
Hey Sandy!

reply

It's mighty strange,
You're lookin' at the leafy range.
Well can I set on a shoombeh?
Or have you been/bit the darkness yet?
Does your dog bite?
It's in me.

reply

Yeah I always thought it was "Does Your Dog Bite" too LOL

reply

Here's what I have:

Hey smilin' strange
You lookin' at the leafy rain
Uncanny sale a shim bee
Or have you bit your dog head yet

It's in me
Eye eye eye eye
Don't your dog bark
It's in me

Eye eye eye eye
Hey Cindy
Don't your dog bite
It's in me

I used to think the
"or haven't you picked your target yet"-part was
"or have you bitten the dog again"

Made perfect sense to me

reply

"or have you bitten the dog again"

Same with me! It's a dog bite dog world anyway!

Look up references for 'mondegreen', for the general phenomenon.
