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

Kolanaki, (edited ) Head Automatica - I Shot William H. Macy
What my friends and I heard when the album dropped: “Yeah, yeah… I put a sausage in your little hand!”
What the actual line says: “Yeah yeah, I’ll put assassins in your little head.”
Although my all-time favorite is and will forever be:
“Excuse me, while I kiss this guy” - Jimmy Hendrix
Rai, Love Head Automatica (and Glassjaw!)
I’mma pull up I Shot William H. Macy now.
Towerofpain11, Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Casserole, casserole, on the wall.
eran_morad, Who, from time to time, has not been revved up like a douche?
corsicanguppy, I was like last month old when a cover performance finally suggested it could be “deuce”, like the coupe, instead. I knew “douche” was wrong, but I never had the presence to ask.
I still don’t know whether that’s right.
eran_morad, Deuce is correct. The tune that everyone knows is actually a cover by Manfred Mann of Springsteen’s original (yes, Bruce Springsteen). The lyrics were tweaked a bit. Springsteen’s lyrics are “Blinded by the light, cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night”.
intensely_human, In the middle of the night is best
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
Insig, José Feliciano - Feliz Navidad.
Sounds like he is saying ‘release mum and dad.’ interlace with him singing ‘I want to wish you a merry christmas’
I was in stitches at the dinner table when I heard it. Trying to tell my brother while crying and hyperventilating with laughter made it even better.
MIDItheKID, I hear this song in my head every time I see a “for lease” sign…
For lease navidad.
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…”
SirSamuel, Blinded By the Light
Roll up like a douche Rev up like a deuce
bcgm3, 🎵 Another boner in the night 🎵
Usernameblankface, “Hey now, you’re a rockstar, get laaaiid!”
Oh, it’s actually get PAID.
Khrux, I’ve always sang the first chorus as get paid and the second chorus as get laid without thinking about it.
JackGreenEarth, Til
NigelFrobisher, What have I become my Swedish friend?
recapitated, Suffragette City:
“The smell of fat chicks just puts a smile on my face”
dingus, Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee
When I was a kid, I swear the lyrics sounded like “later we’ll have some fucking pie”, but it’s “later we’ll have some pumpkin pie”.
HonkTonkWoman, Oh I am absolutely teaching that one to my nephew before next holiday season…
cheese_greater, How old?
dingus, Can’t say I remember. It’s one of those songs that has been played every year for ages upon ages. Maybe around 10 or something.
0ops, She’s got electric boobs… Something something… B-b-b-benny and the jetsssss
cheese_greater, Its funny, I always felt Benny was more crocodiley than Crocodile Rock. Like that snappy piano riff at the beginning sounds like the musical/thematic equivalent of a crocodile with its mouth wide open snapping shut
indigomirage, “'Scuse me while I kiss this guy…”
ZeroGravitas, (edited ) Call Me Maybe / Carly Rae Jepsen
You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still, you’re in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
Swear to Satan it’s real At first sight, and it’s real
I didn’t know I would feel it
But it’s in my wayYep. Knew it was wrong, but that’s what I heard. TIL what the actual lyrics are.
Sea_pop, Another Carly Rae one:
Fake Mona Lisa
He was born in Vegas
The way she sings it, it sounds like
It’s morning fa**ots
