    what are some lyrics you've always heard incorrectly? I'm not asking about the usual suspects, like "'scuse me while I kiss this guy..." or "wrapped up like a douche..."

    personally, I've always wondered why Neil Young spent time thinking about what Efrén Herrera said....

    I never knew the second line of Strange Brew by Cream was until watching Alien Earth and hearing the song remade.



    "KILL whats inside of you" - i always knew something was happening inside of you, just didnt know what. Though it was "come whats inside of you", but that made no sense.



    Im Waiting For The Man by Velvet Underground.

    The lyric sound vaguely like "Eeyore shoes and a big straw hat"? No idea.

    I looked it up at on point - "P.R. shoes and a big straw hat", as in Puerto Rican shoes. Never would have figured that out in a million years.

    That was big in the 70s.

    Wow. I could go in a million directions here. I’ll go with my first one ever…

    When I was a little kid I would hear Bachman-Turner Overdrive “takin care of business” I thought they were saying “taking care of biscuits”.
