HonkTonkWoman,

Always loved Eddie making fun of Mike for thinking the Kiss lyrics were, “I wanna rock n roll all night, and part of every day.”

Pearl Jam feels like cheating.

Here’s the classic Yellow Ledbetter

VaultBoyNewVegas,

I still don’t know the full lyrics of even flow. Every time I hear it fucks with my head and I forget the words.

Yellow Ledbetter doesn’t count. It’s mumbled in recordings because the lyrics change over time to adapt to whatever conflict we’re currently wasting life on.

At first I thought Post Malone was saying “swallow my knife” and not “spoil my night.”

I know I’m not the only one but I always thought the line was “dirty deeds and the Thunder Chief”. Still think Thunder Chief is a cool name.

Same band, I thought the line was “let loose, vamanoose” like a funny way of saying vamonos - or “lets go”.

I also used to say stuff like that as a kid! I think I said, “thunder Jeep.” My dad thought it was hilarious. But he did show me that the album included the lyrics. I’ll still do it my way if the song comes on when he visits.

Rai,

My mum thought it was “Dirty jeans and they’re dungarees”!

Hold me closer, Tony Danza…

You didn’t mishear it, the name and commonly-accepted lyrics are a retroactive fix at Mr. Danza’s request and he asks that we respect his privacy.

Not me personally, but I worked with a guy that always thought Secret Agent Man was Secret Asian Man.

chilicheeselies,

I am that guy. I thought that for a 20 years

Hellnikko,

No joke. Many years ago we went to a biker bar and it happened to be a karaoke night. Asian guy sings Secret “Asian” man and we lost our shit.

I’ve since learned it is a fairly common one. But we got a lot of laughs out of it with him. Just out of the blue when he’d come to his desk someone would break out singing it.

ryathal,

Honestly I think the singer threw in at least one secret asian man, and Secret aging man.

Turious, in What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?

I was once listening to The Pillows’ “I Think I Can” around a friend. Japanese band, lots of their songs are in English but you’d never know through the singer’s heavy Japanese accent. He repeats the titular line a lot in the song and my friend thought he was singing “I lick my cunt.”

That was 15 years ago and it’s still all I hear when I listen to the song.
