Completely Misheard Lyrics?

edited October 2013 in Words and Music...Communication
In Gone - the chorus; 'I'm gone, long gone, this time i'm Goldie Hawn'. Love the song but just cant listen to it without hearing that now, so i just don't listen to it! It is pretty haunting hearing a fully grown man wishing he was an ageing actress...

    Ah! Good ones!

    My wife has always wondered about the culinary delights of "Muffin Man" and "Butter Man"....

    yeah, that'd be Nothingman and Betterman, hon, thx.

    I remembered, as well, that when i first listened to lost dogs (during this last summer actually), i was listening to Gremmie Out of Control - and, not knowing what a 'Gremmie' was, i assumed it was like a Granny...so i thought it was quite strange how many different situations this granny got up to, and the way that the granny so vigorously yelled 'cowabunga'...then i asked my brother...d'oh.

    Does it have to be a PJ song?

    When I was a little kid listening to the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky w/Diamonds", I heard something funny.....

    The lyric is "newspaper taxis appear on the shore"

    I heard "newspaper taxis', the beer on the shore"....hee, hee..

    in hiding:

    "i stayed where my last STEP left me, ignored all my rounds."

    i thought he was saying "i stayed where my last CAB left me, ignored all my rounds." i could just imagine eddie in the backseat of a cab and the cabbie wouldn't take him to the places he wanted to go, so he got out and the cab driver drove off leaving him behind.

    Beck - Loser

    "Soy un perdedor" "I am a loser" in Spanish.

    Misheard by a few as "Soar, open the door."

    One of my favorite misheard lyrics was by my cousin. It was a Rage Against the Machine song, Renegades of Funk. He always thought they were saying "We're the RANDOM kings of funk." Not renegades. I laughed my ass off when he started singing the wrong lyrics.

    I misread WMA and always thought it was "police SHOT my brother again"
    and then I looked up the lyrics and it was really "police STOPPED my brother again." There is big difference between the two, changing my interpretation.
    Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl...

    That's funny, I thought it was "police STABBED my brother again." boy was I wrong.

    In sometimes my girlfriend is always laughing because she think that he is singing "like a pokemon ..." instead of " like a book amongs"....;)
    Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
    Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
    Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
    Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
    Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
    Butt-head: Well, they both suck.

    I cant stp laughing! What a funny bunch of people we are,love this thread!
    Well, my cousin and I used to try and write the lyrics down so we could sing along to all the pj songs and we came up with this for " Jeremy spoke in class today"...."Jeremys smoking...plastic" . But you know, maybe he was? And even now, its still hard for me to sing Even Flow without singing " Rests his head on a FELLOW made of concrete". My mum used to think silverchairs lyrics for Pure Massacre were "Steel matchie car". Haha!

    Oh my gosh we laughed...

    Misheard lyrics, i was talking yesterday with my girlfriend about the pelican story (i read somebody who thought "fortyfive virgins and a pelican")
    About me:
    In Marker in the sand i heard: "those undecided needing halfway to be free", instead of "Those undecided, Needn't have faith to be free", is the last.
    In immortality: "vacant is the world"

    I used to think in Spin The Black Circle when he says 'I see this needle, I see my hand, drop drop droppin it down, oh so gently' he was saying:

    'drop drop droppin it down, oh so genuine'
