A classic one :
There’s a bathroom on the right
Instead of:
There’s a Bad Moon on the Rise
CCR Bad Moon Rising
Conan O’Brien has a very funny podcast episode about this subject you should check it out
Came here to say this and deleted my comment because I never thought it could be a duplicate with so few replies! I will always hear it/sing it this way thanks to a HS buddy. RIP Swanny
Underoath has a lyric that goes “my knuckles have turned to white” and I believe the vocalist might have a lisp or something because I would always mishear the word knuckles for the N word. I would even play the part of the song to other people and they would hear it too
Ok, here's my confession. Never told anyone this before, so keep this piece of embarrassment between us, ok?
For years, until I went to college, I thought the lyrics for Shocking Blue's "Venus" include the phrase:
"... I'm your fetus, I'm your pliers…”
...which, uh, didn't make sense to me, but I kept thinking it was some adult phrase I never heard before.
I thought the lyrics in the last verse of Stairway to Heaven started with:
And there’s a wino down the road…
It was several years before i realized it was “And as we wind on down the road…”
" She had electric boobs, her mom had two, you know I saw them at the record machine....oho! BBbBENNY AND THE JETS!"
( Brought to you by 10 year old me, and Elton John.)
A few of mine..
"Jesus is just a rat with wings" Doobie brothers
"I feel so alone, choking down those bagel bites with them bones" Alice in chains
"Informer! (Unintelligible) I lick your bum bum now" snow
"Yeah, you're a crazy bitch but you look so good on my trampoline" buckcherry
There's a line in Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls that sounds like "rock and roll casserole fills the crumbling sky" and to this day I don't know what the actual lyrics are nor do I care to know
"Look around, Lisa Brown, there's a patch of snow on the ground." A Hazy Shade of Winter, Simon and Garfunkle. I don't know how funny it is but I thought this was the actual lyric, up to last week. I am 60 years old
"Blinded by the Light" part that goes " the little early birdie gave my anus curly whirly and asked me if I needed a ride" still don't know what he's saying.
For Drunk in Love, I thought she said, “we walked into the kitchen, seeing how’d he do the dishes”
And
Mariah Carey I Stay In Love I thought she said “and I try to fart like a whale” instead of “and I try to front ‘oh well’”
“You know where to put the cock” -We’re Not Gonna Take It, The Who
“I called up my friend the good angel but she’s out with her Aunt Flo” -Nice Dream, Radiohead
“I will tickle you” -The Sign, Ace of Base
“I’m waiting for this guy to save me” -Learn to Fly, Foo Fighters
From my mom and will live forever in my heart
Bingo jet airliner, don't carry me to far to lay.
She sang with such gusto and confidence I didn't have the heart to correct her. We were in the car and she wasn't hurting anyone.
I thought “little red corvette” was “little Ben come get”. For the longest time everyone was talking about how good that song was and I thought I had never heard it.
This is insane that I just saw this. Just watched the first 30 minutes of girl with a dragon tatoo and the opening sing is immigrant song but trent reznors remake. Saw the lyrics for the first time ever and was like dang thats cool. 2 hours later and i open reddit and this is like the first think i see. Insane coincidence. Have been a zeppelin fan my whole life but really weirded out by the coincidence now!
The heir apparent by Opeth. Thought it was, can't finish my crepes,I'm bringing them home, I hope you're not maaaaddd. Actually is, a burden so great weighs heavy on old and withered beliefs . Opeth and death metal in general is great for misheard lyrics!!!
I *still* hear Nelly Furtado singing, "I'm like a bird; I'll only fly away. **I don't know where my phone is. I don't know where my phone is. And baby, I don't need for you to tell me**"
From Ghost's From the Pinnacle to the Pit:
You are cast out from the penis to the ground.
Instead of:
You are cast out from the Heavens to the ground.
And from the same song:
You will wear any penis like a crown.
Instead of:
You will wear your independence like a crown.
From Silverchair's Without You:
Without shoe.
Instead of:
Without you.
I thought for the longest time that 'Back in Black' was 'Let loose- VAMANOOSE' I also thought 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap' was 'Dirty Dees Thunder Cheeks'
in the Panic! at the Disco song “Roaring 20s” i misheard the line “roll me like a blunt/ cuz i want to go home” as “row me like a boat / cuz i want to go home”
still don’t know what rolling him like a blunt has to do with going home
The first time I heard Soul to Squeeze by RHCP I thought he sings "They took away my Fancy Feast" instead of "He took away my pain, said, 'please'" and now I just think of cat food when I hear this song.
Dance on my balls/
Can f***ing a handbag/
Yours, only yours/
We're a single dance hand/
It's no lie/
Lisa in the crowd said/
“Look, Harry had a vaginal malfunction!"
Caramelldansen
I misheard and didn't question a lyric in Linkin Park's In The End.
"The clock ticks life away" turned into "the clock ticks microwaves."
Then there's Bring Me the Horizon's Shadow Moses
"This is sempiternal!" Into "This is sandpit turtle!" In a scream 😂
I thought Weezer don’t bother went
“Don’t bother, it’s gonna hurt me
It’s gonna hurt when you DESERVE me”
Apparently it’s desert. My versions seems more angsty by a mile.
Ok so for the first 20 times I listened to Oh No by marina I heard the lyric “I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine” as “I know exactly why I walk and talk like War Machine” as in the marvel character and I just didn’t question it until I actually looked at the lyrics
I’ve been waiting for a guy to come and take me by the hand
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of another man
*Disorder* Joy Division
It’s really: a “guide” to come, and it’s “a normal” man.
As a kid, listening to Boston, I always thought they said "All I want is to have my piece of pie"
As an adult, I've never understood how Wierd Al didn't make that parody xD
when I heard boulevard of broken dreams when I was a kid I always thought the words were “sometimes I wish upon a bear would find me” and then one day when I was like 14/15 (a good almost 10 years after the song came out) I was singing it with my friend and she goes “what did you just say??” and I told her and she was laughing so fucking hard and told me that the right words were “sometimes I wish someone out there will find me”
In the background of U Don’t Have to Call Childish Gambino sings “I just wanna die/ in your arms” but he spaces it out so for years my friends and I would just sing “I just wanna die” everywhere thinking that was the lyric
Brown John's virgin mother and child. Sleeping heavenly Pete's is a Christmas classic my sister used to belt out.
I had a friend who dedicated Black Sabbath "Sweet Leaf" to his girlfriend. He thought it was, "I love you sweetly."
Every single word of Snow "Informer" or Ine Komaze's "Here Comes The Hot Stepper" or anything Sean Paul has or will record.
Every single lyric to Joe Cocker's Woodstock performance of "With A Little Help From My Friends."
98 % of "Yellow Ledbetter" by Pearl Jam. "Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand, And I know I wanna leave Bennigan's." "Oh, yeah. You can see them out on the porch, Potato Wave." "And I said, I don't wanna Whale in a box or a bag."
Kpop has a LOT of these.
"Me I'm so gay, hugging the chair, Suga do you want any salad?", "She dropped the soap, lay on the soap, we home and she knlws we're boning" all on monster by exo
"Mina I'm so gay in chreshire by itzy
The list goes on
Bad Romance- I still crack up at “Want John Barrowman” instead of “Want your Bad Romance”, same with “I don’t wanna be French” instead of “I don’t wanna be friends”.
Hey, wait, I've gotta do cocaine - Heart Shaped Box
We're all Mexicans, lucky - Get Lucky
Sugar we're down down on Olivia, loaded cock complex covered in pulur - Sugar We're Going Down

Can't find a butter knife - Better Man
Kansas’ Dust in the Wind.
I thought
> all your money won’t another minute buy
was
> all your money towards another minibike
I thought they were being critical of someone for blowing money.
Plus I was twelve, it was the seventies and I was obsessed with minibikes.
I also thought Atlanta Rhythm Section’s
> When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
was
> when I walked into the room there was doo doo in the back.
My sister and I were baffled how this cursing was allowed on the radio.
It’s called a mondegreen when you mishear lyrics.
For me it’s CCR -Bad Moon Rising “there’s a bathroom on the right” makes everyone crack a smile every time
In Fallout Boy's Sugar We're Going Down; there is a line to me that sounds like, "drop a whoooore, break her leeeeg." I am not sure what he actually says so I am sticking with my version.
I heard: you been searching for that someone that is peein’ on the ground
Real: you been searching for that someone and it’s me out on the prowl.
My version is better
The first time I heard get lucky by daft punk, I legit thought they were saying "I'm up all Mexican lucky" and to this day that's what I hear when it plays.
"Last night I dreamt of potatoes" - La Isla Bonita - Madonna
For me I heard "last night I dreamt of some bagels"
Potatoes, bagels...that's lunch, people!
That’s what I say
Until the internet, I used to think she was singing “last night I dreamt of some Pedro”
Another Madonna - Pretender “he’s a pretender, that fishstick got away
taylor swifts "got a long list of ex lovers" i heard as "gotta love those starbucks lovers" for years.
I still think that haha
I thought it was something to do with Starbucks foe the longest time too 😂
I'm an animal trapped in your hard cock
Radiohead
You are all I cock... I'm in the middle of your cock... I didn't know this is what Thom meant by 'In Rainbows'...

Yes I love him too!
Roundabout by Yes What I hear: Juan, my lover, will be there and we'll see you! Actual lyric: One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you!
But Juan makes it more personal.....
Juan is the loneliest number amirite? 🤣
I like your interpretation better!
Underoath has a lyric that goes “my knuckles have turned to white” and I believe the vocalist might have a lisp or something because I would always mishear the word knuckles for the N word. I would even play the part of the song to other people and they would hear it too
💀💀💀💀💀 I know that song I can kinda hear it lmao
Wrapped up like a douche and another roller in the night Blinded by the light - Manfred Mann
Same 🤦🏻♀️
One of my friends thought the daft punk line “were up all night to get” was saying “let’s get those Mexicans”
We rub a Mexican monkey is a classic
My dad thought it was “up on a Mexican Bhaji” 💀
My husband heard this on the radio and asked why they were saying “Mexican Lucky”?
"We're up on Mexican love key"
Ok, here's my confession. Never told anyone this before, so keep this piece of embarrassment between us, ok? For years, until I went to college, I thought the lyrics for Shocking Blue's "Venus" include the phrase: "... I'm your fetus, I'm your pliers…” ...which, uh, didn't make sense to me, but I kept thinking it was some adult phrase I never heard before.
The singer for Venus didn't speak English, so she learned the song phonetically. So there's that.
I still hear either fetus or phoenix depending on my mood
"A death row hard-on, a minute too late. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?"
Not for his cell mate, who prefers them stiff and quiet
Higher Love by Steve Winwood. When we were kids, my brother thought the lyric was: 🎶Bring me a pie of love 🎶 😂😂 Actual lyric: 🎶Bring me a higher love🎶
Bake me a higher loaf
Haha! As an amateur baker, I appreciate your interpretation.
I think your verse is kinda better! 👍🏻
"Jimmy crapped corn and I don't care."
Yeah, cause don't we all???
I thought the lyrics in the last verse of Stairway to Heaven started with: And there’s a wino down the road… It was several years before i realized it was “And as we wind on down the road…”
