Misheard lyrics

[BoxsterCy]

Refrain of Chilli Peppers Scar Tissue was mostly unintelligible to me, something like "Whisper the shade something something view". Had to give in and look it up.

With the birds I'll share this lonely viewin'
With the birds I'll share this lonely view

Everyone but the hooting owl in that songs dies.

Maybe he died too after the 6th night?

 

[ImJustKCClone]

This cracks me up every time I see it. And I have absolutely NO IDEA what the real lyrics are:

Yup, he gone. Planting failed and they are coming for him.

Mony Mony by Tommy James, not even sure I know what the correct lyrics are.

This cracks me up every time I see it. And I have absolutely NO IDEA what the real lyrics are:

That.
Is.
Awesome.

There was a country song popular probably 12 or so years ago.

The lyric was “going down a windy road” or something like that. And we were cruising in my truck and my wife was doing her usual cute sing to the songs and she sang, “going down to Wally World”. I was like, what did you just say? She was, going to Wally World. She literally thought the lyric was about going to Walmart.

We still laugh about it when we hear the song. It’s been awhile but that song was really popular at the time. I think it was a Little Big Town song

With the content of today's country music (eg - Applebee's song) this is not as much of a stretch as it once was.

My mother always tells me about when I was little, talking 4 years old here, that I would run around in the nude and sing " Save big money at my Nards " while ummm... making obscene gestures with anatomy.

that explains a lot

When I was a kid, I thought the beginning of the national anthem was 'Jose, can you see?'

Another one most have probably misheard: 'Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche'

same

Adding to this - have you completely missed the meaning of a song?

My sister & I were talking this last weekend. As little kids, we would listen to the song "Wildfire" by Michael Martin Murphy and get upset because we thought the horse died. Nope. Song isn't about the horse dying.

Wait, the horse doesn't die? Or at least get lost? That really changes my childhood.

Apparently I've been singing this wrong since the song came out. I thought it was "With the blood I've shed it's a lonely view." I like mine better lol

 

[RamClone]

Train's "Drops of Jupiter": "and Dan Henning is overrated" instead of "and that Heaven is overrated." Dan Henning being former NFL coach who may or may not have been overrated

Oh man, when I was young I misheard SO many Elton John lyrics. Without having a lyrics guide, I made it up as I went along, especially from “Benny and the Jets.”

Re: your “Rocket Man” question, I heard (and still can hear) — “Burning on a shoe-tops ever long.”
(Actual: Burning out his fuse up here alone).

Another mix-up, just prior to that:
“I’m not the man they think I am at home.”
I heard —> “My poor mammy thinks I am at home.”

Levon.. I'm clueless to half the words

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds: "The girl with colitis goes by."
Actually, the girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)

For 55 years I've mumbled random syllables for half the song.

The only ones I was pretty sure about were "cross your heart with your livin' bra."

I finally looked up what the actual lyrics are supposed to be... and they make no more sense than the random syllables I was mumbling all along.
