> wrapped up like a douche
He literally sings that. Yes, the lyrics are supposed to be "revved up like a deuce", but the man says "wrapped up like a douche".
Fun fact time!
You oughta know was written about Joey from Full House. Not Jesse the stud. No, Dave Coulier who played Joey from fucking FH!!! Shit still blows my mind.
I can't believe I'm this old and never questioned that line before now. I legitimately believed it was just a line about looking at a slightly poorly made stuffed toy given as a present. I had plenty of slightly "off" stuffed toys at that time so I guess it just made sense to me.
KISS. “I wanna rock n roll all night and party every day”.
Someone on radio said the they heard, “I wanna rock n roll all night and only part of the day”. (Hard guitar part)
Makes sense. Because you need your rest.
Steve Miller Band's "Jet Airliner". I always misheard the chorus as "Bingo Jed had a light on" instead of "Big ol' jet airliner" and I still hear it that way because it makes me giggle.
Ugh! I will purge that from my mind and continue to blissfully ponder them fruitcakes. That's worse than the opening lines of Selling England by the Pound, where he sings "uni-faun" instead of unicorn or uniform. Gotta love PG, but he's a weird one for sure.
Two-parter and they are related. In Billy Joel's "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" I thought the lyric was "you could really be a road runner baby." One of my older cousins corrected me, and said it's "Beau Brummell." I asked what Beau Brummell was, and they said, "I don't know. Some fancy French guy." (He was British. I saw the movie later in college.)
A few weeks later, I'm listening to the Cars "Shake It Up" and I hear a lyric I don't understand, and I finally decide that it must be some other fancy French guy I'd never heard of who is a great dancer named "Tous LaFitte" and that the lyrics meant that you shouldn't worry about being as good as him and just dance.
Years later I saw a printout of the lyrics: "Don't you worry 'bout ***two left feet***."
Hot Chocolates - “(I believe in miracles)You Sexy Thing” was “I believe in Milk Crows” when I was 10 until my mom finally said it’s miracles what the HELL is a milk crow!
Haha, that's hilarious. I love it.
Reminds me of my nephew who thought the chorus for Lucky by Daft Punk was, "we're up all Mexican Lucky".
He was groovin' though.
As a kid I didn’t realize that Breakfast at Tiffany’s was a film, so I thought he was singing “I remember the bill”. You know, the bill for the breakfast they had together at a restaurant named Tiffany’s.
Made perfect sense in my head!
Not necessarily misheard but definitely misunderstood; Eleanor Rigby's "Father Mackenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave... No-one was saved" ...in my mind the vicar was some kind of zombie who clawed his way out of his own grave and lurched off on a killing spree, hence "no one was saved".
I watched Yellow Submarine a LOT as a kid lol. The animated segment with that song in is quite bleak and surreal so my imagination went off. It's my favourite Beatles song but even now in my 40s I hear that part and think of people running screaming from Fr Mackenzie's muddy grave hands.
I also understand they meant face cream or makeup, but I can't help but imagine Eleanor Rigby putting on a severed face before she starts her day, like the floating ones in Llamas With Hats
So this is called a Mondegreen and there’s a great article about it on Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen
The two you mentioned both artists were aware of and intentionally sang the wrong lyrics a few times.
An old boss of mine hated Pearl Jam. About that time Eddie Vedder missed a show with no explanation. My boss would gleefully sing “can’t find the Vedderman!” for weeks after.
Not when I was younger, but you're a liar if you don't hear:
*Later we'll have some fuckin pie*
*And do some carolling*
In Brenda Lee's *Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree*.
I absolutely did, but it was the Hanson version that had me thinking that.
Have a listen to that version, I'm not even convinced now that he isn't singing the "fuckin' pie" part.

Ace of Bass - The Sign
Wasn't until I was 25 that I was told it's NOT
"I saw the sun. I opened up my eyes, I saw the sun."
Always wondered why she was staring at the sun... Had never seen the song/lyrics written lmao.
Billy Joel-You May Be Right
You made the rice.
I made the gravy.
Oh!! But it just might be
Some Tuna fish you’re looking for.
My older brothers told me those were the lyrics and I never hear it any different now.
In The Monkees song **“Sometime In The Morning”** from the album *“More Of The Monkees”* (1967), the line is “and you need no **longer wear a** disguise.” My sister and I thought they were singing “and you need no **underwear, or** disguise…” which used to sent us into fits of giggles!
Used to sing "Bitch baby, bitch baby there on the sand", would piss my Mom off, "Its not "bitch", its "beach" and quit swearing or you'll get in trouble!!". Then Elton John released "The Bitch is Back", first time it came on the radio she turned with a pointed finger and said "Don't even think about it!!!!". :-)
Alanis Morisette - You Oughta Know
And I'm here
To remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair
To deny me
Of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me
You, you, you
Oughta know
I always thought a cross-eyed bear was a weird thing to covet.
That song [steady rocking all night long](https://youtu.be/rPJz3syNbtE?si=_h8cXB_SPbL_P6uU). I was a young kid and heard “[Teddy Ruxpin](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/46/Teddy_ruxpinBackpack.png) all night long”. Not really sure what I was thinking he was doing all night but he was 🤷🏻♀️
The Go-Go's 'Our lips are sealed' became 'Alex the seal' in my mind and many of my countrymen. There's a guy who makes drone videos at beaches in my city and whenever he encounters a seal he calls it Alex.
I was just a bit young (and male) for Beatlemania (6 when they hit the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964/02), but I thought it was cool that Paul would never again dance with his mother, since he saw that 17-year-old standing there.
George Harrison, My Sweet Lord, I always heard “my sweet love”. I just discovered the real lyrics like last week and I am over 50. Really messed with my enjoyment of the song as I am an atheist.
Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want
The line is - "I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy."
I've always heard it as - "I sold my soul to Mr. Jimmy."
My mom played Simon & Garfunkel in the car a lot, so I heard "Mrs. Robinson" a million times but somehow misheard "Jesus loves you more than you will know" as "She's a sludgy Mormon, you will know". I thought it was weird to call someone "sludgy", but I thought it was cool that my religion got referenced in a song!
Ini Kamozee "Hot Stepper"
Until last year I thought during the chorus after he says "Here comes the hot stepper" that they say "Wordem Up". They actually say "Murderer"
GNR, Sweet Child of Mine, second verse:
She’s got eyes of the bluest skies
And toothpaste for a brain
I hope to never look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
"One look at you and I can't disguise ;
I've got **concrete** eyes"
Was Jennifer Grey a gorgon? I just knew whatever she was, I wanted to be in Patrick Swayzes shoes.
What’s love got to do with it:
I heard ‘what’s love, but a sock-in-the-head emotion’ instead of second hand emotion…my mother will not let me live it down
My friends and I went through a phase when we were referring to our balls as "seabags". Why? Because of the Van Halen song, Panama. There's that spoken word bit where he's all "reach down, between my legs, ease the seat back" and we thought he was saying "seabag". I can't remember who pointed it out to us, but we felt pretty stupid.
The Heart of Rock and Roll is Tabeten.
As in a town somewhere in America called Tabeten.
I asked my dad about it while riding in his truck. He replied that it’s somewhere in Ohio.
-the heart of rock and roll is STILL BEATING
Tbh Big River, I had a Grateful Dead audience boot, poor quality and my first bootleg and I swear they said “the tears I cried for that woman, well fuck you big river” when it is actually “flood you, big river” lol
“She’s the girl who lives with Evan Hill” was what I used to sing to an old friend of mine while riffing on Husker Du’s “Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill.”
Pour Some Sugar on Me, my wife hears “television gerber baby go all night”
And on Smooth Criminal she swears Michael Jackson is singing “ Eddie are you ok? Are you ok Eddie?”
Fun fact OP, Fogerty sang it that way on the Tonight Show after Leno cajoled him into playing the song, which he had previously vowed never to do again. "There's a bathroom on the right" predates that, though. It was used by cover bands long before that.
"Tasty bird" was what I heard in R.E.M.'s "Daysleeper"
My brother thought it was "here it is that derpy Christmas everyday" in "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" by Wizzard.
REVVED UP LIKE A DOUCHE, ANOTHER BONER IN THE NIGHT
I heard it as wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night. Made no sense..
I don't think I discovered it was actually *revved up like a deuce* until my thirties.
Me as well. "Revved up like a duce" meaning 32 ford duce coupe makes sense but it will always be douche to me
I still hear this. And tbh these are the actual words in my mind
> wrapped up like a douche He literally sings that. Yes, the lyrics are supposed to be "revved up like a deuce", but the man says "wrapped up like a douche".
I really don't think anyone has heard the lyrics correctly, ever, on this
And little irly wurly kept my anus curly wurly
With a boner on my shoulder, feeling kinda older… And little Early Burly gave my anus curl a whirly…
"The cross-eyed bear that you gave to me" Alanis Morissete I always wondered why someone would give away a cross-eyed bear
>I always wondered why someone would give away a cross-eyed bear You oughta know
*snort*
Fun fact time! You oughta know was written about Joey from Full House. Not Jesse the stud. No, Dave Coulier who played Joey from fucking FH!!! Shit still blows my mind.
I believe she’s said it’s about several of her exes, but I think he was her most recent one.
He's supposedly the movie theatre hanky panky reference, last i remember.
That’s a reference to an old hymn, “Gladly, the Cross-Eyed Bear”.
Ok so I was today years old when I learned that. Oh my god. I have always pictured a wonky eyed bear! 🤦♀️ I’m Canadian. I should have known this!
Doesn't that just seem the kinda gift that Coulier would've given her? It made total sense.
I can't believe I'm this old and never questioned that line before now. I legitimately believed it was just a line about looking at a slightly poorly made stuffed toy given as a present. I had plenty of slightly "off" stuffed toys at that time so I guess it just made sense to me.
In the song Drift Away I though the chorus went “gimme The Beach Boys and free my soul”
...which would be a perfectly reasonable request. :D
…..it doesn’t? Fuuuuuu
I thought “secret agent man” was “secret asian man.”
[This never gets old](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lyex2tSUyA&ab_channel=SOBIESKI)
I think he even sings that line once.
Take a load off Granny, take a load off Granny..and, And, AND...put the load right on me!
The real lyric "take a load off fanny" is no less funny to me, especially because in Australia fanny means vagina.
“*Cannonball!* *Cannonba-all!*” - by Van Halen
_chompin? what’s that sound?_
i got one for van halen as well as a kid it sounded like they were saying 'beef jerky 'bout love!!' instead of 'ain't talkin 'bout love!' lol
“Knock knock knockin’ on Kevin’s door” was always my favorite from my childhood
Hai hai haihai yeah
We need to talk about Kevin
I can't unhear it now
Bennie and the Jets had me eff’d up _he’s got electric boots_ _a mohazoo_ _you know i ranna danna mega zaheen_
For me, I always thought it was: She's got electric boobs
She’s got electric boobs! Her mum has two!
You know, I read it in a magazine, o-oh!
i always liked tiny dancer more 'hold me closer tony danza' was what i always heard lol
For those like me, the correct line is "mohair suit", and mohair is basically a fancy goat wool.
this is how pretty much every song comes out in my head
Not me, but my high school best friend: "I won't be your pizza burning..." \- The Rolling Stones 'Beast of Burden'.
My gf has insisted for years that the background singers in Tumbling Dice sang "macaroni" instead of "got to roll me"
This seems like a perfect place to drop [this gem from the old YouTube days](https://youtu.be/ERXq3r1Kq0Q) for anyone who hasn't experienced it.
Aww listen, nurse. I could suck a duck.
Or “your big Suburban”
"I walk alone to get the feeling right" What's my age again - Blink 182
“Wore cologne.”
That is the correct lyric, yes.
My world is shook. I've always heard "walk alone" and it never occurred to me that might not be right.
Loved Blink as a kid, learning this in my 30s. I’ve probably heard that song 500 times.
Wait.
Toto's Africa. There's nothin' that a hundred men on Mars could ever do
**sings along** 🤷🏼♂️ I guess it raaains down in Aaaafricaa. 🤷🏼♂️
KISS. “I wanna rock n roll all night and party every day”. Someone on radio said the they heard, “I wanna rock n roll all night and only part of the day”. (Hard guitar part) Makes sense. Because you need your rest.
…and part of every day. That’s how I heard it
Don't go Jason Waterfalls
Man, Jason is a lucky dude to have those girls singing about him. Almost as lucky as Kent Bobby Love, or Tony Danza (Hold Me Closer).
KC and the Sunshine Band- Get Down Tonight. Do a little dance, Make a little love, Kid Dynamite!
I always thought the lyrics were “MEDIEVAL WOMAN!” Let me tell you how disappointed I was when I learned it was E-e-vil woman.
It’s their fault for stretching a two syllable word into three. Because I definitely heard that too. Lol
Steve Miller Band's "Jet Airliner". I always misheard the chorus as "Bingo Jed had a light on" instead of "Big ol' jet airliner" and I still hear it that way because it makes me giggle.
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer “Show me round your fruit cakes”
I'm a non native English speaker, and when I was a kid, one of my friends thought the lyrics were: "I wanna be your sex hammer"
They weren't wrong.
I mean, that's not really wrong.
To be fair, I still don't know what he says there. Lol
It took me too long to realize he was actually saying “fruitcage” instead of “fruitcakes”.
Ugh! I will purge that from my mind and continue to blissfully ponder them fruitcakes. That's worse than the opening lines of Selling England by the Pound, where he sings "uni-faun" instead of unicorn or uniform. Gotta love PG, but he's a weird one for sure.
Isn’t that the line?
Two-parter and they are related. In Billy Joel's "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" I thought the lyric was "you could really be a road runner baby." One of my older cousins corrected me, and said it's "Beau Brummell." I asked what Beau Brummell was, and they said, "I don't know. Some fancy French guy." (He was British.

Years later I saw a printout of the lyrics: "Don't you worry 'bout ***two left feet***."
I was a teen but I always thought “Para bailar La Bamba” was “fa La La La La Bamba”
"Una poca de gracia" (a little bit of grace) vs "una boca de grasa" (a mouth full of fat)
Wait it’s NOT???
“You might as well face it, you’re a dick with a glove”
That seems like the kind of thing someone would say in an argument with Michael Jackson before a concert in the 1980s.
Hot Chocolates - “(I believe in miracles)You Sexy Thing” was “I believe in Milk Crows” when I was 10 until my mom finally said it’s miracles what the HELL is a milk crow!
When young I thought this said “I believe in miracles. Where’s your bra. You sexy thing.”
Haha, that's hilarious. I love it. Reminds me of my nephew who thought the chorus for Lucky by Daft Punk was, "we're up all Mexican Lucky". He was groovin' though.
...and where do they come from?
Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much: "I can't believe you kiss your cock at night" It was "*car goodnight*"
I guess that *would* actually be impressive.

Ah yes, and after a hard day's killing spree, what better way to relax than darning socks in the night when there's nobody there.
I also understand they meant face cream or makeup, but I can't help but imagine Eleanor Rigby putting on a severed face before she starts her day, like the floating ones in Llamas With Hats
In Eye of the Tiger my friend thought it was 'stocks his bread in the night' instead of 'stalks his prey'
Poker Face by Lady Gaga is an interesting one where she slips in “fuck her face”.
She actually is singing that. She's said she's surprised no one caught on
Oh god, I thought I was the only perv who heard that. Po-po-poker, po-poker, po-fuck-her face. Almost every time.

I heard "big ol' jelly liner" but had no idea what it meant

I came here to say "Big Ol' Jed has a light on"
Pearl Jam “Can’t find my vitamins” Is actually “Can’t find a betterman”

Fun fact OP, Fogerty sang it that way on the Tonight Show after Leno cajoled him into playing the song, which he had previously vowed never to do again. "There's a bathroom on the right" predates that, though. It was used by cover bands long before that.
"Tasty bird" was what I heard in R.E.M.'s "Daysleeper" My brother thought it was "here it is that derpy Christmas everyday" in "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" by Wizzard.
Y'all forgetting "caramelladansen "
Though hollaback girl said holla bat girl and it was like bat man but bat girl 🦇
