    In Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower," when he sings "the hour is getting late," I used to think he was singing "but I was getting laid!" I still hear it, actually....and the "YEAH!" that immediately follows makes it even funnier to me

    I read the following in a similar thread a few months ago, and now this is what I hear instead of the real lyrics. In Go I hear:
    "Turned to my mrs, I pulled out my fucking cock."

    instead of
    "Turned to my nemesis, a fool, not a fucking god."

    There are others, but none quite as funny as that.

    I always heard "tell my nemesis, before you're fucking gone"

    came across Once on pandora last night

    "Without pain, now I'm pee pee" :problem: really stood out, but that isn't where it ended.

    In Alive (Pearl Jam)
    ACTUAL: Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
    Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
    Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
    Hey...oh...

    I can't be the only one who thought the lyrics were "don't worry I'm still alive" the first thousand times i heard it

    I know that the line in "Faithfull" is actuall:

    "and echoes, nobody hears...."

    but I often hear it as

    "like geckos........"

    which makes me think of the silly gecko in those Geico commercials.
    "I know I was born and I know that I'll die...the in between is mine"

    In "Rearview Mirror," one of my friends thought Ed was singing "Soap is so much cleaner...wash you, wash you" rather than "Saw things so much clearer" -- damnit, I still hear it too!

    A roommate also thought in "Daughter" the lyric was "The pager left will remind me" -- of course, that's when pagers were still around :lol:

    When I was a kid I thought AC/DC's
    "Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap"
    was
    "Dirty Deeds, Thunder Chief."
    I thought the song was about an bad indian chief or something...
    i always thought it was dirty deeds done with sheep?

    I don't know if this has been addressed already...but who put up the lyrics on the site? Either some of them are completely off, or I'm going nuts, lol! For example...All Those Yesterdays...now I'm not exactly sure what the line is myself, but it seriously can't be 'all those paper plates'...can it?! I've seen a few others that I know must be wrong...anyone else notice this?

    It's one of my favorites too but that's what it is. The last time they played it in Bristow, VA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J50iKud1DZE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR6hgeX1txI before Black Eddie says, 'We're paying attention up here is that the kinda shit you're into, you like the weird stuff?" meaning ATY I just thought that was funny.

    As a child, my girlfriend didn't know PJ but she did know that they had a song named "Jeremy", even though she had never listened to it. The thing is that she used to misheard Europe's "Carrie" chorus as "Jeeeremy" instead of the actual "carrie".

    She thought "Carrie" was PJ's "Jeremy", and she thought it was BEAUTIFUL.

    *Note: We are spanish speakers, so you should understand that we get many lyrics completely misheard.

    Peace.

    Back in '92 a cover band did alot of Pearl Jam-after they sang Even Flow, my mosh buddy and I informed the singer that he was singing the wrong words -- no wonder he looked at us like we were crazy!

    Our Version : Ohhh girlfriend, when he can't have her, he's happy to look to his hand!!! :lol:
    Correct Version : Oh, dark grin he can't help when he's happy, looks insane
    Make sure the fortune that you seek

    at the gym, I keep hearing this song during class so I can't use my ipod:

    "I like my feet back and my face down low"---thinking it sounded sexual and really annoying to hear over and over.

    looked on internet today and apparently it is:

    "I like my beats fast and my base down low"

    :lol::lol::lol::lol:
    :oops: (i thought it was sexual!! arf arf)
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    From "Rats":
    "Pick the dead off Olajuwon's feet."
    Seriously, can't bring myself to sing it any other way.
