Lets hear em

Crafter72, (edited ) I wish I didn’t have to pee be so bad.
-blink 182 - Wendy Clear
and the most prominent
I wore cologne walk alone to get the feeling right
-blink 182 - What’s My Age Again.
Though sometimes when Tom and Mark performs live, they butchered some lines for some dumb jokes lol.
Waldowal, Selena Gomez - Good For You - “I’m 14 carats. I’m 14 carets I’m farting carrots. I’m farting carrots.”
Towerofpain11, Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Casserole, casserole, on the wall.
hactar42, My sister-in-law thought the chorus of Metallica’s Battery was “backdoor raid”. Now I can’t unhear it.
I also thought in Live and Let Die Paul sang, “give an Alabama yell” instead of “give the other feller hell.”
bcgm3, Billy Joel - She’s Always a Woman
She hides like a child but she’s always a woman to me == a weasel-woman to me
j4k3, (edited ) Back nearly 20 years ago Disney California Adventure (Anaheim, Cali) had this interactive exhibit where you did various things in line with the Disney animated kids movies. One was playing the Seven Dwarfs “Heigh ho, heigh ho, it’s off to work we go…”
In a little alcove in front of a group of friends was another group of cute mid-teen little Latino girls. They were dressed somewhat provocatively for the average Disney guest and all were wearing bold makeup, (not judging, but they stood out). The typical Spanish accent was prevalent with the silent “h”. Their innocent rendition as they sang along was hilarious. Happy as they could be they were singing, “I hoe, I hoe, it’s off to work we go…”
NigelFrobisher, What have I become my Swedish friend?
recapitated, Suffragette City:
“The smell of fat chicks just puts a smile on my face”
indigomirage, “'Scuse me while I kiss this guy…”
EndlessApollo, The bridge to The Four Horsemen by Metallica
🎶Time has taken a stool on you!🎶
Anarch157a, There this French fold band, Skáld that usually sings in Old Norse language. In the song Hross, the first line of the chorus is “Hverir eru þeir tveir?”. The way they sing those first two words sounds like “Fevereiro”, which is the Portuguese (my native language) word for February.
justabigemptyhole, (edited ) For Whom the Bell Tolls
“Ni**as fight on the hill in the early day…” == Make his
Jackthelad, Israelites is a classic.
Me ears are alight.
Schal330, Freed from desire - Gala Rizzatto. I always thought it was “My love has got no money, he’s got his trumbalyse” and I never knew what a trumbalyse was.
Also Peter Kay did a great bit around misheard lyrics.
theit8514, I can’t believe this is 15 years ago. Still hear these in the song today. youtu.be/VWqC4KKiVbU
