Misheard Lyrics

in BYOB...still you feed us lies from the tablecloth.....those are the real worRAB..but MOST people either hear it and cant belive it...or think its something else....
 
the one that pops into my head that i just recently learned the actual lyrics to is sum 41-no brains (yes here i am talking about sum 41 again, add that to the list). theres this one part where he's singing in the background and for the life of me i could not figure out what it said. the way i said it was:

"*something something something* more than
i am hepped myself before"

when it really is:

"i cant help you anymore than
i have helped myself before"

dont ask me how i got "hepped" instead of "helped".
 
All Along The Watchtower

business men, they drink my wine; plow man, dig my earth

i always thought it said business men, they drink my wine, come and take my herb.
 
I read a story online where somebody thought that "Idiot Wind" by Bob Dylan was in fact a love song about too people named "EYEEEEDDIE AND GWENNNNN" (eddie and gwen). I couldn't stop laughing.
 
i was listning to the live A reality tour version of Fame by Bowie and heard him say 'gotta get a raincheck.' I was surprised 'cause the proper lyrics are 'gotta get a rent-a-gun'. then again maybe Bowie knows bettter than I do. Although considering he actually says on the same album he can't remeraber which album Be my wife is on...
 
the song sister christian by night ranger. i always though the lyrics were:

"motor end
watch your prys for flight"

when its really:

"motoring
whats your price for flight?"

now that i know the lyrics, it kinda sounRAB like a song about a hooker
 
i used to think it was "someone's got a tummy ache" in placebo's 36 degrees, but the lyrics are in fact "someone tried to do me ache". not too far off i guess.
 
Oh man I forgot about this one and don't know why I remeraber it today (but probably because I was picking up Chinese food)

In soundgardens "Outshined" he says "Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today."

I misheard him and asked on the boarRAB I was on back then "Hey whats the song from soundgarden where he sings 'I like the power chow, I'd like to say..."

The post after it was a correction and an answer, the one after that was "lol@powerchow" and the posts follow in that vein from there on.

I don't know what the hell i was thinking other than to say, it was the 90's lyrics like "dog food skulls and the beefcake pantyhoes" were the norm.
 
i have no idea how or why, there must have been something wrong with my hearing at the time but i heard:
"i've got a big fat bucket, Mona Bick"
instead of
"i've got a big fat ****ing bone to pick"
in radio by alkaline trio.
 
There are so many ... I think most of them would be from my youth though. The lyrics are so easy to find nowadays with the internet, but unless they were printed in the sleeve back in the day, you had to work it out for yourself.

I'd say 'kiss this guy' would be the most misheard one, and I must admit, I was guilty of it too.. [I expect I don't need to elaborate on that one, but just in case - Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix] There's actually a site called kiss this guy dot com.. with a whole load of them... some are hilarious.
 
My mom was watching the video for Aerosmith's Dude looks like a lady and turned to me and asked what was with all the cross dressing in the video. I raised an eyebrow and said it was because the song was called Dude looks like a lady. She insisted it was called Do a lucky lady and we waited for the credits to come up at the end.
 
This may have been said, but I thought that "Blinded by the Light" was.

"Blinded by the light rolled up like a douche"

instead of...

"Blinded by the light revved up like a deuce"
 
I thought the song, Swing Swing from the All-American Rejects went like this:

"Swing swing from the table tops my heart is crushed by a form of love."

When really it goes: "Swing swing from the tangles of my heart is crushed by a former love."

This was back when i was a retard....
