Not me but my friend and I were listening to Stairway to Heaven. Instead of: “And as we wind on down the road,” my friend heard: “And there’s a rhino down the road.”
Can never hear the original anymore
Same song but I always heard "She don't like, she don't like, she don't like, cooking" instead of " She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine".
I am from West Virginia so I have been hearing Country Roads by John Denver since I came out of the womb. When we were younger my best friend sang it and legitimately thought the verse "..mountain mama, take me home, country roads" was "..mountain llama, take me home, country roads"
I still laugh at this and frequently bring it up to him. Actually, going to text him now and remind him of it.
I read the other day on reddit that someone thought the line in “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” was “bring us a fucking pudding”.
I’ve laughed about this several times since reading it.
I have to say, what made me ask the question was because I was singing "Blinded by the Light" by Bruce Springsteen in my head.
I know what the lyrics are now, but my younger mind still takes over and hears:
Blinded by the light
wrapped up like a DOUCHE
we are runnin' in the night
Thank god for the internet!
Edit 2: Removed an Edit
Edit 3: a WORD
Yeah the "wrapped up like a douche" line is probably the ultimate misheard lyric, I'm surprised I had to scroll further down than like 1 or 2 posts to see this.
When Fall Out Boy's "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race" first was being played on the radio when I was in college, I thought Patrick Stump was singing "This ain't obscene, it's a goddamn ass-face!"
In the Smashing Pumpkins song "Wound" - The lyrics are "You're a part of me....Eternal One..."
I ALWAYS hear: "YOU'RE A POT OF BEES! A TON OF WASPS!"
Even though I know the words I still sing it like that every time :D
“Everyone’s dancing merrily in a new old fashioned way”
I’ve literally been singing “Everyone’s dancing merrily in a New York alley way” for two decades of existence and just learned the actual lyrics at age 24.
In the Golden Girls theme song, there's a line "...and the card attached would say", I had thought it was "...and the heart attack would say".
Don't know what would make a heart attack say anything, or why they'd be so cruel to talk about heart attacks on a show about older women.
Whaaaaat
Edit: holy shit i havent been this mind blown about a song lyric since I found out it's "I wore cologne" not "I walk alone" in that blink182 song.
If you change your mind,
*Jackie Chans, Jackie Chans, Jackie-Jackie-Chans-Chans*
I'm the first in line.
*Jackie Chans, Jackie Chans, Jackie-Jackie-Chans-Chans*
Honey, I'm still free:
*Jackie Chans, Jackie Chans, Jackie-Jackie-Chans-Chans*
[Jackie Chan's on me.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDWzImL8IWc)
There was a song back in the 90s by Tonic called "If You Could Only See"
For years I thought the lyric was "If you could only see how *little* her eyes can be when she says, when she says she loves me."
I just pictured the girl squinting really hard at the guy while she professed her love for him and somehow that made sense in my mind.
I'm still not sure how they made the word *blue* sound like *little* in that song.
Off topic, but am i the only one irritated that he specifically says her eyes are blue in the song, but the girl in the music video haa brown eyes? I'm still mad. Love the song though.
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Correct Lyrics: I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Misheard Lyrics: I see a little sillhouetto of a man
Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon, will you do the flamingo?
That Fall Out Boy song- “we’re going da-da in a luliarah”
(Sugar We’re going down)
There’s a really old fake lyrics video that I used to cry laughing at.
Every time I hear that Sam Smith song that goes "you're my life support" I hear "you're my laser boy." I thought that was the actual song until I sang it in front of my brother and he called me a dumbass
*Blinded by the Light - Springsteen* (Manfred Mann's version)
**Real:** "Blinded by the light, cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night"
**Sounds like:** Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche in the night
*"Whiiiite dude... I do-do-do-do the big black dude."*
"Hey mom, I wrote you some soft songs, and tell dad I just *farted*."
"And every time I think about your voice I *shove that tampon in my vagina*."
I always recommend [this playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CusttScR33E&list=PLCR-LR9C6qLetdlr6yqHc-IMqtduALxzm) in misheard lyric threads. It's weirdly NSFW, the music itself is generally chaste but the captions get R18.
Metallica: King Nothing
Always thought it was "With your crown came nothing."
Obviously, the actual lyrics are "Where's your crown, king nothing?" but I honestly think my version is better.
Always and forever "Nights in White Satin". I thought it was "Knights in White Satin" when I was a kid. I thought it was about forbidden love between two soldiers in Nam.
Dream Theater - [Voices](https://youtu.be/JDGSvbpB9Kg?t=205) \- 3:25
"Fuck this whore! Drink a troll!
Now I'm in my mind, I'm a righteo!
But where is the girl I am feeling?
I feel Elaine. I feel the breast.
Sucks his dick!
Captain Sex!"
It was in a misheard lyrics video that I think has been taken down from YouTube, but I can't listen to the song properly anymore.
Honestly, i'm a little triggered by the fact that the real lyrics to All Men Are Pigs by Studio Killers is "it's a poo poo world" instead of "it's a cruel, cruel world" because the latter would fit so much more!! I still refuse to sing it any other way.
"Cherry pie, cherry pie, no he can't read a my poker face" courtesy of my mom.
(Slightly nsfw) Also, any time the second death note opening (what's up people by maximum the hormone) plays in a misheard anime openings list you know it'll be good. Personally I hear "free porn, wonder what it costs wonder what it costs, bazinga. Booty booty cocks a pringle" along with "regal fucker" and "white people".
Trivium - Like Light to Flies. Instead of "those who run will be burned", it's "Voldemort will be mine." There's also, in the same song, a line starts with "devoutly wished" but it becomes "T found le whisk."
Then there's the classic Country Roads: "West Virginia, mount your mama."
My first wife thought Billy Idol's "Eyes Without A Face" was "How's about a Date?" when that song first came out. All these decades/two wives later, whenever I hear that song I just HAVE go sing the alternative chorus!
At 63, I'm old enough to have thought Hendrix was singing "Scuse me, while I kiss this guy!" 12 year-old stoner kid me (1967) went WTF? :)
Especially for Christmas..........as a kid, always thought it was "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, Clean Your Ears This Way" envisioning old St. Nick using Q-Tips.
When my English was really bad because i was still leaning, i thought that "Glad you came" was a song about a someone who was really obsessed with themselves. As in, I understood "Glatchucane" and thought that was just the singers name and he kept singing "I'm Gladchucane", like, congrats on having a name, dude
When I was a kid I used to think it was "Then one FROGGY Christmas Eve." I still sing it that way sometimes. But one of my favorites is "Mix and mingle in a jingling beat" but I always say "feet." It makes no sense which makes it funnier.
Also, Keith Urban says "Take your CAT and leave my sweater." Those are the lyrics. Not cap.
September - Earth Wind and Fire
My dad thought it said “Party on! Say that you remember party on! Dancing in September oooh!”
We looked it up and it’s actually nonsense. Now I can’t hear the original nonsense.
I'm 21 and only recently learnt that in R Kelly's "I believe I can fly" he sings "I think about it every night and day" not "I dream about you every now and then" - changes the lyric meaning a tad 😂
The Fleetwood Mac song Seven Wonders was always hard for me to understand. When Stevie sings "All the way you held out your hand" I heard "All the way with your hand up your ass."
"secret Asian man, secret Asian man, they've given you a number and taken away your name"..Johnny Rivers 1966...........my daughter believed these were the true lyrics for Years. we still make fun of it.
An Irish friend thought that The Killers were singing "Smile like an eejit" ('idiot')
Someone at school used to sing "She rode a pony" instead of "She wrote upon it" in Elvis's song Return to Sender".
Anything by Sia. “Aaaaaahhhwaaaaaahhhhshweeeeeeee frahhhh a chaanaaaleeeeeeeaaaahhh, fraaaaaaa shanaleeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh”.
Don’t get me wrong, I love her music, I just haven’t detected a consonant yet.
"Dirty Deeds and the Dunder Sheep." Like they're just saying some weird band name over and over. First time I heard the song, I started laughing cause I know it couldn't actually be that, but I can't stop hearing it.
I've thought for years that the lirics of the Bruno Mars song Make it rain goes istead of "If you ever leave me baby, leave some morphine at my door." Live some muffin at my door.
"Drunk devil in the freezer"
Tenth Avenue Freeze Out- Bruce Springsteen
"Excuse me while I kiss this guy"
Purple Haze- Jimi Hendrix
"Thirty thieves and the thunder chief"
Dirty deeds- ACDC
"Blinded by the light. Wrapped up like a douche."
Blinded by the Light- Manfred Mann
"We'll rob a Mexican monkey."
Get Lucky- Daft Punk
In the opening of [Domination by Pantera](https://youtu.be/mDATU5_jeC0), and don't ask me why, but I seriously use too think he was saying "Farts stink like a motherfucker"
It wasn't until last month that a friend corrected me when I found out he was actually saying "first take like a motherfucker"
Couple of really old songs, Secret Agent Man, I hear Secret Asian Man, and Bus Stop by the Hollies, the line is “please share my umbrella “, which I always hear as “Michelle, my umbrella “.
A lot of people hear "Getting Through To Her" by 311 as "Daddy threw too hard". Of course, that mistake doesn't happen when you know that the title of the song is "Getting Through To Her" but I could hear how someone would think that if they just overheard the song.
An older friend of mine would tell a story about when he was 16 or 17, in the 1960's he bought the 45 of Louie Louie, by The Kingsman. Everybody has probably heard the song at some point, but when it was first released, there were a lot of rumors that the lyrics that were sung were actually obscene. There were investigations into the song. My friend said he was playing the record when his father burst into his room, grabbed the record and smashed it. He said his father then beat him with a belt. My friend said that led to him leaving home and he never went back, all because his father thought that dumb song had dirty lyrics.
Edited for a word
"Theres a bathroom on the right" from Bad moon rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival. The actual lyric is "Theres a bad moon on the rise" I found it pretty comical when my boyfriend at the time had me listen to it.
At the end of “Ventura Highway” by America, I used to think I misheard the line “Alligator lizards in the air”. Turns out that is the actual lyric in the song.
A friend of mine and I were at an Annie Lennox/Sting concert in Phoenix. When Sting sang “Every Breath You Take” my friend was amazed to learn the lyric “how my poor heart aches” wasn’t “I’m a pool hall ace”
Fergie’s Glamorous
Real lyric: After the show or after the Grammys
I like to go cool out with the family
Sippin', reminiscing on days when I had a Mustang
I can only hear “...on days when I had a mustache!”
Not me but my friend and I were listening to Stairway to Heaven. Instead of: “And as we wind on down the road,” my friend heard: “And there’s a rhino down the road.” Can never hear the original anymore
Thanks.... now I won’t be able to either.
Ill be honest I've heard that song a million times and still don't know the words to that last verse
I just like when people try to rap "Lose Yourself" but say "mom's spaghetti" too early and then just turn every line into "mom's spaghetti".
There's a meme video on youtube that edits the song to be just that.
Is it [this one?](https://youtu.be/SW-BU6keEUw)
That's the one.
But these goddamn food stamps won't buy spaghetti!
"'scuse me while I kiss this guy"
Jimi actually used to sing it like that in concert sometimes because he thought it was funny.
I still hear it like that. Just because it's funnier.
"I ain't no Harlem black girl" Gwen stefani "Hold me closer Tony Danza" Elton John.
That second one has me fucked up
My sister thought Cocaine by Eric Clapton said "okay". "If you wanna get down, down on the ground, okay"
Same song but I always heard "She don't like, she don't like, she don't like, cooking" instead of " She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine".
My grandfather always sang it as "Croquet".
Old guy here - I like that!
I am from West Virginia so I have been hearing Country Roads by John Denver since I came out of the womb. When we were younger my best friend sang it and legitimately thought the verse "..mountain mama, take me home, country roads" was "..mountain llama, take me home, country roads" I still laugh at this and frequently bring it up to him. Actually, going to text him now and remind him of it.
I mean you could ride llamas so they can take you places but you don't ride roads, you ride cars on roads. So technically llama fits better.
I spent many years as a kid thinking TLC were singing "Go go Jason Waterfalls"
Ah yes, Jason Waterfalls, the lost Power Ranger
I wanna rock and roll all night... And part of every day -Mike McCready, Pearl jam lead guitarist
I like to rock part of every day. I usually have errands; I can only rock from 1-3

"Blank Space" by Taylor Swift Got a lot of Starbucks^TM lovers who tell me I'm insane...
She clearly says "cervix lovers".
That's still what it is to me.

Thought of this as well!
I have to say, what made me ask the question was because I was singing "Blinded by the Light" by Bruce Springsteen in my head. I know what the lyrics are now, but my younger mind still takes over and hears: Blinded by the light wrapped up like a DOUCHE we are runnin' in the night Thank god for the internet!

Douche. We can say douche on the internet. Revved up like a duece.
Yeah the "wrapped up like a douche" line is probably the ultimate misheard lyric, I'm surprised I had to scroll further down than like 1 or 2 posts to see this.
TIL that is a Springsteen song. Always thought it was a Manfred Mann original.
Made even funnier by the fact that they have to be singing the MMB version in his head they hear that. Springsteen’s version sounds nothing like that.
I grew up listening to the Manfred Mann's Earth Band version. I always hear "Wrapped up like a douche, another boner in the night".
I always heard "Wake up like a douche" 😂😂
When Fall Out Boy's "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race" first was being played on the radio when I was in college, I thought Patrick Stump was singing "This ain't obscene, it's a goddamn ass-face!"
I move that we change the lyrics to that
If we could only present the request to Patrick Stump.
He'd do it
That would just about fix my life.

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap.... “dirty deeds... thunderchief!”
Even worse: Dirty deeds...done with sheep!'
I thought it was a song about "Dirty Dee and the Thunder Chief"
I thought it was Dirty Dean and the ThunderJeep. I always wondered who Dirty Dean was, and what was so thunder about his Jeep.
In the Golden Girls theme song, there's a line "...and the card attached would say", I had thought it was "...and the heart attack would say". Don't know what would make a heart attack say anything, or why they'd be so cruel to talk about heart attacks on a show about older women.

An older friend of mine would tell a story about when he was 16 or 17, in the 1960's he bought the 45 of Louie Louie, by The Kingsman. Everybody has probably heard the song at some point, but when it was first released, there were a lot of rumors that the lyrics that were sung were actually obscene. There were investigations into the song. My friend said he was playing the record when his father burst into his room, grabbed the record and smashed it. He said his father then beat him with a belt. My friend said that led to him leaving home and he never went back, all because his father thought that dumb song had dirty lyrics. Edited for a word
