I have as much trouble as anyone discerning what they're singing in most songs, but when I heard the Rolling Stones singing, "I'll never be your beast of burden" that's actually what I thought they were singing, I just couldn't believe it. I thought, "They're certainly not singing about a 'beast of burden'." It must be something else, I figured, but for once I was right!
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- Actual lyrics: "I've never been your beast of burden"
My lyrics: "I've never been your big suburban"
— Big Suburban - When I first heard the song "Constant Craving" by KD Lang, I thought she was singing "God save gravy."Anon
- I used to think that singers couldn't talk-they could only communicate by singing.Anon
- When I first heard Matt Monro's song "Born Free," I thought he was singing "Porn Free."Anon
- That song that goes:
I'll never let you go...
I thought he was singing:
Another machine gun...
Haha.— Kelle - The buckinghams song "kind of a drag", i always thought they were singing, "Canada Dry"— bobbybobby
