You know the eifel65 song "Im blue da be da ba di"
I thought he said "I'm blue I'm in need of a guy"

— Anna

In the Blink 182 song "What's my age again?" he says "I wore cologne, to get the feeling right."
Weeeellll.... I thought that it was "I walk alone to get the feeling right."
My mom was like "Umm... why would walking ALONE help him get the feeling right, Kelsi?"

— Kelsi [walks alone]

pick of the bunch

in the Beastie Boys song 'Intergalactic' they sing 'another dimension' but it's so distorted that one can easily hear 'I have an erection'

— Victor Romijn

In that Alanis Morrissette song that goes like "It's not fair.....to deny me...of the cross I bear that you gave to me, you you you oughta know!" Yeah its called u oughta know well anyway when I was five i heard: "It's not fair, to the night air, of the cross eyed bare that you're naked me, yoodle yoodle yoodle otter no!" I thought it was about a girl whose boyfriend made her stand outside in the cold one night holding an otter and yodeling.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

When I was about 6 I used to believe that a line in Abba's 'Take A Chance On Me' was 'You wanted to leave me there, afraid I would love a bear'. Actually it is 'You wanted to leave me there, afraid of a love affair'.

This from the Smashig Pumpkins' Bullet With Butterfly Wings

Misheard lyrics:
Betrayed desires, and don't be so gay.

Real lyrics:
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

— stupid

Theres a punk song called "Ruby Soho". In the song the lyrics go "He's singing and she's there to lend a hand, He's seen his name on the marquee but she won't ever understand" I misheard the lyrics as "He's single and she's down giving head , He's seen this dame at the market and she won't ever understand" I found out the real lyics after embaressing singing mine in front a old friend. I now know. In my defense the lead singer has a very rough, slurry voice and he's hard to hear right a lot.

— not a punk rocker

In the song "Time To Dance" by Panic! At The Disco, there's a part that goes

"But they believe it from the tears
and the teeth
Right down to the blood at her feet.
Boys will be boys, hiding in estrogen and wearing aubergine dreams."

What I heard was:
"And they believe it from the tears
and the teeths
Right down to the bond energy
Boys will be boys, hiding their ass in aubergine jeans."

Tracks of My Tears by Smokey Robinson.

Actual Lyrics:
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading


Misheard:
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masterbating
Inside my hope is fading

Until very recently I thought that the lyrics to Fast Car by Tracy Chapman were "city lights spread out before us, your arms and legs wrapped round my shoulders..." Instead of "your arms felt nice wrapped round my shoulders"
Can't imagine how I thought someone could drive a fast car in that position....

— fan of contortionists

I used to think the line, "I'm not big on social graces," in "Friends In Low Places" by Garth Brooks was actually, "I'm not big on sausage gravy."

Which I thought was nutty because my dad made excellent sausage gravy and how could anyone not like sausage gravy?

— Sara

My brother used to think "Kung-Fu Fighting" was actually "When It Comes To Fighting."

— The Pacifist

Backstreet Boys - I want it that way? I heard "I was born on a tidal wave

— gembop

I used to think the song 'play that funky music' actually said 'play that f**kin' music, white boy!' and it confused the hell out of me, because i thought that you couldn't say 'f**k' o tv or radio. I thought that till i was like, 13 and heard my sister singing it the right way.

— F**kin' music white gril

I always thought the childrens song here comes the bride had i line that said "all dressed and WIDE." I thought it was a fat bride.

I just resently realized that its All dressed in WHITE, and i'm 17 now

In "the anthem" by good charlotte, it still sounds to me like he's saying "I never use the restroom" in a slurred voice at the end when he really says "Another loser anthem, woah!" lol

— Amused

I used to think that the song"Stayin Alive" said "Staying In Line" like at school when I was little.

— MacKenzie

When I was little I thought the song line "every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you" was actually "take a piece of meat with you." I imagined a girl leaving with a big steak or something. The worst part is my parents would hear me sing it and they thought it was so cute they didn't bother to correct me.
