    My buddy's dad had Van Halen lyrics messed up into the late 90s and when he found out he just stuck with it...
    Instead of
    "I got no love waiting at home, I got no love you call real"
    He thought it was "I got no love in Korea"

    Leash, my other bud thought it was "Drug police, get out of my fucking face, drug police..."

    I love when the lyrics I get wrong are the damn words in the name of the song. Im ALWAYS crushed when I find out.

    Like......

    Kiss - Lick it up - I thought was live it up also for a long time had no idea it was Kiss (smh).
    Oh please let it rain today.

    One of my favorites is when my mother in law thought "If I could be like that" from 3 Doors Down was "Fuck me like that" and she'd get pissed when she heard it until we corrected her.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    "Pretty little thing, let me light your candle
    'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle now, yessir'am"

    But it's really something like...

    "Hey lil ding, looks like a can a corn
    cause runnin round sure all the hennessy gets poured out"

    Well now, this is a bit embarrassing.  In the excellent song "Mabel" by the Juliana Hatfield Three I thought Juliana was singing "Take another leak" where she is actually singing "Check out that lady".  Talk about defective auditory discrimination, haha!

    I never cared to look up the lyrics to Blinded by the Light, but just yesterday I learned what they are actually singing. 

    Song: Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night 

    What I always heard: Woke up like a douche in the middle of the night. 

    Yikes I dunno how I misheard it that wrong haha. Makes sense why I never understood wtf he meant

    Going to pretend you never posted the real lyrics lol. That fact that it doesn't say douche kind of ruins the whole song for me haha
