    Not PJ, but Soundgarden's "Fell on Black Days" at the end where he goes...

    "She don't mind, she don't mind the change"

    I hear...

    "SHIT ON MY! SHIT ON MY! FAAAACE!"

    My wife and my sister seem incapable of hearing any song lyrics correctly .

    My favourite wifey mistake is from the Spandau Ballet song "True" , when he sings " listening to Marvin all night long " , refering to the legendary Marvin Gaye .

    My wife heard it as " listening to more than all night long ".

    I now poke fun at her , commenting on the great singer and his sexual preferences . Not straight , not bisexual , not gay , no he's more than gay .
    Well it makes me laugh ...... no ? ....... no? ....... anyone ?............

    I'll get my coat ......

    the first few times i heard wishlist i thought it started off

    "i wish i was a new trombone, for once i could go off"
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense

    I always thought "Turned to my nemesis...a fool, not a fucking god"

    was

    "Turned to my nemesis...I fooled that fucking guy"!

    I mean, it makes sense! :D

    Parachutes, I just realised, was a pretty bad one for me.

    "I would've fallen from the sky till you, parachutes have opened now"
    I heard this as...
    "I would've fallen from the sky to tell you parachutes have opened now"
    Which makes an odd kind of sense.:D

    But far more embarrassing is this one.
    "Far away will be my home, and to grasp this I don't know."
    To me, this lyric went as such.
    "Far away will be my home, and the grass beside the gnome."
    Y'know - the little gnomes people have in their gardens?:o

    i had a huge misinterpret for go. what i thought is sooo far off from the words, but the way ed sings it really sounds alike. hehe

    i thought:
    "Once fastened, servile, now you're getting sharp
    Moving oh so swiftly, with such disarm"
    was:
    "one step so sublime, now you'll be a star
    moving on so swiftly, just past the sun"

    wow. i had more bad ones. once i think of them i'll post again. fun thread.

    i knew this next one wasnt it but still to this day i hear:
    "glorified pleasures of a pelican" in glorified g, instead of
    "glorified version of a pellet gun"

    oooh .. from habit:

    "i'm so happy with my righteous self"
    was:
    "i'm so happy with what my wife just said"

    my husband's best friend from when he was growing up had a great lyric misinterpretation.

    this is so ridiculous, but it's true:

    he thought "I wanna be sedated" was "I want a piece of Eddie" and that Joey disliked Ed Vedder to the point of writing a song about it...nevermind that the song was released 13 years before Ten...

    OK, it's not Pearl Jam....but yesterday I was really paying attention to "Breathe" by the Prodigy, I really thought it was....

    "Take the pressure off me - Bake Sale! Bake Sale!"

    I think they're saying "exhale"...and I'm not sure about the other part of the line either...Anyway, I had to laugh at me...at work...I'm an idiot sometimes.

    But most of these examples in this thread are hilarious!! Way to go, people!

    Hahaha oh this is great....The first time I ever heard Rearviewmirror, I thought instead of :

    "Saw things, saw things, saw things.)


    He was singing : "Soy beans, soy beans, soy beans."

    Yeah. Lovely.

    My husband use to think Elton John's Tiny Dancer was "Tony Danza"...That's a scary thought unless you are Angela and Mona.

    Whenever we hear it we sing loudly and proudly "Hold me closer Tony Danza"!

    What´s really scary is that some people still listen to Elton John.

    It's Alice in Chains song Rooster. For me this is one of their best songs, i love this song a lot for it's mood, tune and guitar work. But my misheard lyric is this:

    "My body's breathin' his dyin' breath"

    but i always hear it as

    "My butt is freezing, His dying breath" :D
