Lyric Mishaps

I know there’s already a thread for this but I can’t seem to find it. So creating this 

I’m a sucker for singers messing up their own songs something Mika seems to make a habit of so I wondered if we could have a place to collect them all 

 

Here’s the most iconic one to start with

I don't have a video for this, because we weren't allowed to video this gig at all, but at Philadelphia several years ago Mika completely forgot the second verse of Popular Song. I think he abandoned the song twice, before coming back to it much later in the gig. He finally got it right the third time!

 

Oh, I just found the thread you were thinking of:

It's like history repeating itself because Mika forgot the lyrics to Elle me Dit on the second day of the Philamornie concerts and told the audience that he's not finishing the gig until he got it right! :biggrin2:

 

 

I can't find the video now, but it wasn't too long ago when I was watching the private Mika's magic numbers gig and I'm sure Mika forgot the lyrics to Grace Kelly (at least I think it was that song? 🤔), it would be nice to watch again if someone can share it 😊

I was going to put this with the Emily/Elle me Dit discussion but that thread is also a little old. So I think here is a good place to mention this.

 

Not only does Mika get his lyrics wrong but so does google! 

 

Emily lyrics from google search:

 

Emily, it's your life and you can't live it twice
One day you'll understand and then you'll take my hand
Emily, I love you, an do know you do too
You never make no sense, screaming at me in French
Bullcrotching, that's that
Bullcrotching, that's that
Shut up listen to me, dance with me Emily
Bullcrotching, that's that
Bullcrotching, that's that
Shut up listen to me, dance with me Emily

 

You can read google's full lyrics Here

 

A few more lines are quite wrong too! :naughty:

I guess they assume the whole song is in English and are guessing but still that’s horrendous
