Alright, folks; we've certainly done this thread before, but why not do it again? What are some lyrics, be they from current or classic songs, that you misheard entirely? My first example comes from Manfred Mann's cover of "Blinded by the Light", but not for the famous "douche" line; rather, I misheard this line. When he says "and little early-pearly came by in his curly-wurly", I could've sworn he said "and little early-birdie kept my anus curly-wurly". Although, after reading the actual lyric, I'm not sure my misunderstanding makes any less sense.  Another one is when I was young, I used to think that the lyric "don't go chasin' waterfalls" from TLC's "Waterfalls" was "don't go, Jason Waterfalls". My most recent example is from Lady GaGa's "Do What U Want"; when R. Kelly says "I could be the drink in your cup, I could be the green in your blunt", I thought he said "I could be the drink in your cup, I could be the cream in your c***", which I thought to be really explicit for a song that was to be played on the radio. So, yeah, what are some lyrics you've misheard lately? |

"I'm baking the lemon inside you!" from Glass Shatters by Disturbed.
It's actually, "I'm breaking the limit inside you!"

Another in that song is the line "You're the Marilyn, I'm the president" to "You're the melon, I'm the president". |

Recently someone posted By the Power of Love/For the Honor of Love He-man/She-Ra music video. When the girl sings, I believe her actual words are "I nearly heard..." but the way she sings it and the poor rhyming it sounds like she sings "I nearly hurled...(puked)"

When I was a kid, pretty much the entire intro to The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Only when I got older did I realize that Polaris was singing "Or have you picked your target yet?" and not "Or have you bitten the dog again?"
More recently, these two from Katy Perry:
"Teenage Dream" -- I thought she was singing "We built a kelly and got drunk on the beach." (It's actually, "We drove to Cali ...")
"Dark Horse" -- When she sings "So you wanna play with magic" I misheard it as "So you wanna play with my Jeep."

Nickelback's How You Remind Me: "Tired of living like a black man".
Destiny's Child's "Say My Name". I always misheard the "yeah yeah yeah" portion as "Yeah Yeah you gay".

Elton John's Benny and the Jets: "She's got electric boobs" From the same song: "Now I'm ready and I'm Pakistani." Another Elton John song that always got me was "Tiny Dancer" - "Hold me closer Tony Danza." |

Elton John's Benny and the Jets: "She's got electric boobs" I like the Beastie Boys cover, which eventually just descends into mumbling along with the music. |

"Dark Horse" -- When she sings "So you wanna play with magic" I misheard it as "So you wanna play with my Jeep." Had you not posted this, I would've continued to think that she was saying "so you wanna play with my jig". |
