Favorite misheard song lyrics

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

When ABBA sings "Diggin' the Dancing Queen", it's audibly close to "kick in the dancing queen".

Every time I listen to Trippie Redd's "Dark Knight Dummo", his enunciation of "Voldo" on the "I feel like Voldo I'll chop off your arms" verse sounds eerily like "Bono". So it's easy to trip up and sing along "feel like Bono, I'll chop off your arms" as if Bono would ever do such a thing.

Also, Men At Work's "Who Can It Be Now" sounds like "Killer Bee Now".

And there's a line on Michael Jackson's "Lady In My Life" that's actually "love you more each day", but there's a weird audio hiccup that makes it come out like "love you Morris Day."

[MiLB Fan]

For a long time, I wondered why Sam Cooke was singing about a pair of pants made of poultry. (“He’s dancing with the chicken slacks/She’s moving up and back.”)

“So you wanna play with my Jeep?” (Katy Perry - “Dark Horse”)

“We built a kelly and got drunk on the beach.” (Perry - “Teenage Dream”)

“Icys, fur go rising is a very good sign” (Loggins & Messina - “Danny’s Song”)

“And it must have been so bad/‘Cause Little Women must have damn near killed you.” (Nickelback - “How You Remind Me”)

[Citizen Snips Has Left]

I used to hear "Old teenage hopes" as "Oh, teenage ho's" in Feist's "1234"

[Spider2024]

One of my new favorites is one I been apparently mishearing for almost 2 decades, and just this week read the lyrics and got corrected: "Our love is like water" from Live's "All Over You" song. I always thought it was "Our love is like Walter"!

[Jumpin' Jesse Walsh]

“Got a list of Starbucks lovers/They tell me I’m insane.” - Blank Space by Taylor Swift

“Who likes tacos?” - As I Lay Me Down by Sophie B. Hawkins

Weird you heard Cheryl Baker because I always thought it was Chet Baker, so what we thought we heard was not a million miles away from each other

You would see, the biggest gift would be for me- Thank You For Being A Friend

[The Unconquered Sun]

A guy I know, and in no way me, thought Toto's Africa, the lyric was "it's more than 100 men on Mars could ever do."

Oh my God. I remember one year my family rented a cottage in Alpena, a town in northeast Michigan for a week. During that week my nephew, my cousins child, and a friend of my brothers child watch this exact same episode over and over again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
Make it stop.
Make it stop.

Hold me closer, Tony Danza. Count the head lice on the highway

Strawberry Fields ending John says "Cranberry Sauce" and somehow it becomes "I buried Paul"

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

What have I become
My Swedish friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
