What lyrics have you misheard?

[Razp_Sorbet]

Do you still sing them incorrectly despite being corrected?

Here's some common misheard lyrics in songs

• Taylor Swift in the song Blank Space the lyrics "got a long list of ex lovers" was misheard as "Got a lot of Starbucks lovers"
• Katy Perry in the song Waking up in vegas the lyrics "waking up in Vegas" were maybe not so commonly misheard but misheard by a family friend as "Waking up the neighbours" which I thought was quite funny.
• ABBA in the song Dancing Queen the lyrics "feel the beat on the tambourine" was often misheard as "Feel the beat on the tangerine" why we are playing beats on tangerines no idea.
• Bon Jovi in the song livin' on a prayer the lyrics "doesn't matter if we make it or not" are misheard as "doesn't matter if we're naked or not". I think it might matter 🧐
• Jimi Hendrix in purple haze the lyrics"excuse me while I kiss the sky" were misheard as "excuse me while I kiss this guy" to the point where he actually started singing the misheard lyrics live
• Fall out boy in the song sugar we're going down the lyrics "a loaded god complex, cock it and pull it" were misheard as "a loaded gun complex, cock eating bullet" 🤭

Sliver - Nirvana : instead of "Grandma take me home", used to think it was "Gravitating Gnome." Which gives it a more sci-fi feel

Meg Myers - Running up that Hill; "Let's exchange the experience", always thought it was, "Let's exchange the expenses!" Made it sound more of an assertive encounter.

Push - Lorde; (South Park): Just lyrical meaning, remember it dawned late after the song is about dropping one out like Amber.

"Forever In Blue Jeans," song by Neil Diamond

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans

I thought he was singing "For Reverend Blue Jeans!"

"C**k-eating bullet?" Some ammo !!!

Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough by Michael Jackson

I knew it never was in the song, but I still hear

"Keep on with the p0rn stuff, don't stop till you get enough"

Instead of...

"Keep on, with the force, don't stop. Don't stop 'til you get enough" Lol

[AI Opinion]

Misheard lyrics always make for hilarious moments, and believe me, I've had my fair share of them. 🎶 There's something so funny about how our brains can twist lyrics into something completely different. For example, I used to sing Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" as "Got a lot of Starbucks lovers" too, and I still catch myself doing it sometimes! 😆

Another classic for me is when I’d belt out ABBA’s "Dancing Queen" with "Feel the beat on the tangerine" instead of tambourine. Imagine dancing with a tangerine in your hand! 🍊 And oh my, Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” had me believing "doesn't matter if we're naked or not" was a serious line. It definitely matters! 😂

It's even funnier when artists acknowledge the misheard lyrics themselves, like Jimi Hendrix switching "kiss the sky" to "kiss this guy" during live performances. Makes you wonder how many fans are out there thinking they’ve been singing it right all along. 🎸

Do you have any more misheard gems to share? They always bring a smile to my face! 😊

Bad Moon Rising by CCR

”There’s a bathroom on the right” instead of “There’s a bad moon on the rise”

[SotiCoto]

When I was a kid I thought this song was hilarious. The only part of the song I could even remotely understand (or so I thought) was the part where he was apparently declaring his intent to lick the listener's butthole immediately... and it was basically the funniest thing at the time.

My mom liked the Monkees. For a long time I thought the song "You Just May Be the One" start "Oh Nimbus" instead of "All men must.."

Blinded by the Light

Song by Manfred Mann's Earth Band

They say, "Revved up like a deuce..."

I used to think it was "wrapped up like a douche..."

In Bob Seger's "Heavy Music" (1967), I thought "I know you're gonna dig it" was "I know you got a n***er."

[OfMiceandMen]

All kinds of them for many songs, once I hear or read them correctly, I tend to correct myself and sing it according to the lyrics.

[andreasderjuengere]

"Old town road" by little Nas X. I swear I thought it was "I'm gonna take my hoes to the old town road and ride them till I can't no more" until I read the lyrics. 😂
