Favorite Misheard Lyrics/Song ?

I saw this on a website few weeks ago
In New York, I've become a wet dream tomato

 

There's a Rainbow song called "Stone Cold," and the chorus has:

"Searching in the Dark.ness!"

And as a kid I really heard "Searching in the Dog.Mess!" This video is, indeed, a steaming pile:

Thank you that too.

 

Stand in the place where you live... now K-Swiss (instead face west)

A girl I went to high school sang it that way

Or anything Michael Stipe sang before Document.

 

There's this silly commercial on lately that plays on this lyrical confusion:

I used to get that line wrong too and thought it was funny to make something up that fit, like "earnin' up his use of queers at home" (maturity was a foreign concept)

 

Lating out loud aka LOL! :grin:

 

First time I heard Descendents "Silly Girl" I thought he was saying "City Girl"

and a double post.

 

Listen! Yo ass is about to missin.

You know who gon' find you? The Moleman fishin!

 

Where ya gone for tomorrow?
Where ya going with the master plan?
And I feed the eels
When the dogs begin to smell her
She says she smells alone


Man Scott Weiland was on a ****load of heroin.

I remember listening to this song and thinking of a million different things he was saying.

The one that stuck the most was "I was beat up and died"

da ba de da ba die...

 

One of my favorite lyrics that I apparently had wrong for over 10 years is from Massive Attack's song "Mezzanine." I always thought the lyric repeated over and over is "All these have flaws." Then a few years ago my wife informed me that it's "All these half floors," which makes sense now given the title.

Not a lyric, but for years I thought Eric Clapton was pronounced Eric CLAMPton.

 

At work so some of the posts are not showing (vids mainly), but I always thought that commerical that had Def Leppard's Pour Some Sugar On Me as Pour Some Shook Up Ramen or something was pretty good, haha

 

I remember someone telling me they thought Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" said "I ain't no Harlem black girl."

 

"There comes a time, when we need a self-control..."

Sing it, "We are the world...."

 

It's because of 3D's British accent but yea I can see why you thought that as I thought that, too!

 

Biggie - Juicy.

Now they play me close like butter played toast. From the Mississippi down to the east coast.

my buddy thought it was

Now they play me close no butter, plain toast.

 

I had a friend who thought Rihanna was saying "scurry love" instead of Disturbia. The same friend thought Linkin Park was saying "all of that in Michigan" instead of "all of that and this again".
