What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?
Tears in Heaven
[chorus] I must be strong == I must destroy
Lets hear em
Tears in Heaven
[chorus] I must be strong == I must destroy
Lets hear em
SgtAStrawberry, There be a hot tub in the town of Berlin .
spittingimage, Brimful of Asha by Cornershop.
The title and the lyric are both “brimful of Asha”, which has a double meaning. In the singer’s native language ‘Asha’ means hope, and is also the name of an iconic Bollywood singer/dancer.
What I heard was “grim poodle basher”. Obviously it wasn’t right, but I couldn’t figure out the actual words just by listening harder.

Here’s one from there
Like a virgin touched for the thirty-first time. Artist: Madonna Song: Like a Virgin Real Lyric: Like a virgin touched for the very first time.
intensely_human, Bring me a pile of love!
RampantParanoia2365, I wanna be your big Suburban.
Battle_Masker, My aunt once told me when one of my cousins was like 4 or 5, he was singing along to Band on the Run, but saying “Hand on the rug”
Nibodhika, (edited ) It’s in our nature to destroy ourselves
It’s in our nature to kill ourselves
It’s in our nature to kill each other
It’s in our nature to kill, kill, kill
That’s the actual lyrics of Blood Brothers from Papa Roach, some people hear “Human Nature” instead of our nature, which is still the same meaning. However I once read someone misshearing of that lyrics and I can never unheard it, this is what I hear now (and so will you if you read):
Send the ninjas to destroy ourselves
Send the ninjas to kill ourselves
Send the ninjas to kill each other
Send the ninjas to kill, kill, kill
SpaghettiYeti, Uptown funky butt
SlothMama, I remember the subtitles for Smash Mouth - Walking on the Sun said “It’s like kitty fat, it retracts before impact” which was nuts, I had the CD, and it was “any fad”. They didn’t use to vet subtitles on MTV. There were orders, but that’s all I remember.
StThicket, (edited ) Killswitch Engage - My Curse
This is my curse
This is my purse
JackGreenEarth, “living like a lover with a red iPhone” - Pour some sugar on me, 1987
Ringmasterincestuous, My wife’s childhood:
“My anus can’t take it I’m addicted to love”.
Robert Palmer.
Mine is when I sing, and I can’t remember what I say, but something like “kissing your neck, back, n’dem titties” to Labrinths Still Don’t Know My Name. Although I’m still fairly certain those lyrics to be correct 👍
helmet91, “Carry a laser” - Mr. Mister
johsny, I want to break trees
Artard, Had a friend who’s little bro thought “Liberate my madness” from Liberate by Slipknot was “Never eat bananas”.
