The entire lyrics are on Amadeus are shockingly bad... 

 

Lyrics

Rock me, rock me, rock me, rock me
Rock me, rock me, rock me, rock me

Rock Me Amadeus
Rock me, Amadeus

Do it, do it
Do it, do it
Rock me all the time to the top
Rock me all the time to the top
He was a punk
Er war ein Punker

And he lived in the big city
Und er lebte in der großen Stadt

It was in Vienna, it was Vienna
Es war in Wien, war Vienna

Where he did everything
Wo er alles tat

He was in debt because he drank
Er hatte Schulden, denn er trank

But all women loved him
Doch ihn liebten alle Frauen

And everyone called
Und jede rief

"Come and rock me Amadeus"
„Come and rock me Amadeus“
He was a superstar
Er war Superstar

It was popular
Er war populär

He was so exalted
Er war so exaltiert

Because he had flair
Because er hatte Flair

He was a virtuoso
Er war ein Virtuose

Was a rock idol
War 'n Rockidol

And everything called
Und alles rief

"Come and rock me Amadeus"
„Come and rock me Amadeus“
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus

Come and rock me, Amadeus
Come and rock me, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus
Hey
Ey

It was around 1780
Es war um 1780

And it was in Vienna
Und es war in Wien

No plastic money anymore
No plastic money anymore

The banks against him
Die Banken gegen ihn

Where the debt came from
Woher die Schulden kamen

Everyone was familiar
War wohl jedermann bekannt

He was a man of women
Er war ein Mann der Frauen

Women loved his punk
Frauen liebten seinen Punk
He was a superstar
Er war Superstar

It was so popular
Er war so populär

He was too exalted
Er war zu exaltiert

That was exactly his flair
Genau das war sein Flair

He was a virtuoso
Er war ein Virtuose

Was a rock idol
War 'n Rockidol

And everything is calling today
Und alles ruft noch heute

"Come and rock me Amadeus"
„Come and rock me Amadeus“
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus

Come and rock me, Amadeus
Come and rock me, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus

Come and rock me, Amadeus
Come and rock me, Amadeus
Now, come and rock me, Amadeus
Now, come and rock me, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, oh, oh, oh Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus

Come on, rock me
Come on, rock me

Come and rock me to the top
Come and rock me to the top

Amadeus
Amadeus

Ama-, Ama-, Amadeus
Ama-, Ama-, Amadeus

Now come and, now come and rock me, Amadeus
Now come and, now come and rock me, Amadeus

Amadeus
Amadeus

Imagine how pissed whoever wrote it was though.

Mrs Kurtz is adamant that in "money for nothing" its "cheques for free" not "chicks". She thinks if you're a pop star y ouget free banking and that's what they are celebrating. This debate comes up more often than you would think. 

Jet airplanes, microwave ovens, refrigerators, custom kitchen deliveries and free banking. 

 

I should have learned to play that guitar.

I'm not a fan of UB40 and never will be.

 

However, I have for years when i've heard it played thought the song Ivory Madonna was actually, i'm a Prima Donna.

 

I had the piss taken out of me for weeks in work.

Im 51 soon and not ashamed of this confession.

Not a misheard lyric but I’ll put it in here because I can’t be arsed looking for another thread. 
 

I was talking in work about a trip I’d booked to Vegas and someone looked up the hotel I was staying at and said while I was there they had a Bee Gees tribute. 
 

This woman pipes up, in front of about 15 people, and said if your surname was Bee Gees then why would you call your kid Barry?
 

Yep, she thought he was named Barry Bee Gees.

Was only about a year ago that I found out they were English, Barry has very American looking teeth, so it threw me off.

In the early days of lockdown when home working en masse was a new things for lots of people, our team - like many - was having a fun session on teams at the end of each week and most of those sessions were quizzes one of the team would pull together.

 

we always had some variation of a music round such as “name the song and artist from the lyrics” which I was always utterly crap at, because I know nothing about popular music, or “finish the next line” which I’m also crap at and have a dreadful inability to make lyrics fit in my head unless they are sung to the tune.

 

anyway, one of them was from the steps song “5,6,7,8“ which I recognised straight away, and thought I’d got, but annoyingly I managed to both get it wrong, and end up with those wrong lyrics stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

 

My boot scooting baby is driving me crazy, my obsession for the western...” apparently it’s “my dance floor date” not “we danced all day”

 

nobody cares. It’s a terrible song and in part I’m glad I don’t know the words, but fucking hell just typing this out now guarantees it’s gonna be in my head again now.

I was today years old when I discovered this song wasn't I'm a Prima Donna.

Almost every song Jagger has ever sung

 

Shine a Light - smile on your face and terror in your eyes

Street Fighting Man - Everywhere I hear the sound of marching Georgian beat boys, 

and I'll shout and scream, I'll kill the king of Israel and all his servants

Sympathy for the Devil - 

I watched with glee While your kings and queens fought the tender case for the gods they made

 

and many more

Just rewatched season 2 of Mr Inbetween and this is masterfully dropped at the end of episode 4: Monsters.

 

 

At 00:41 and 2:48 I can’t listen to it without hearing “A ghost turd in the sky”.
 

Which would, let’s face it, be objectively terrifying.

In smooth criminal I thought it was " Eddie are you ok?"

 

When my lads were little they would sing along to stuff in the car and obviously i wouldn't ever correct them. Two of my favourites were "New Gold Dream" by Simple Minds were our Matthew sang "Eddie one Eddie two Eddie Three Eddie four" instead of "81-82-83-84" and my personal favourite was "Electrical Storm" by U2, which he thought was "Electrical Stuff". 

 

I prefer the nonsensical stuff that you were convinced were actual words for years, or at least you didn't question whether it was correct or not, you just went along with it. Prime example, in "Enola Gay" by OMD i always sang along to it as "Calicious novel and you're coming home" when he actually says "Conditions normal and you're coming home". No idea what a calicious novel is, or could be.

"Praying for Time" by George Michael came on in the car this morning and for the first time in 34 years i realised in the part of the lyrics that go...

 

"This is the year of the hungry manWhose place is in the pastHand in hand with ignoranceAnd legitimate excuses"

 

...it wasn't actually "the gentlemen's excuses". You live and learn.
