Misheard Lyrics

Heard : He doesn't want to know what's going on because he's in love with a drug.
Actually it's "drug", not drunk.

Accidentally switched those again while typing.
The song is Numb by The Cure

Heard: "You were longing to be free of my hotel"
Actually:And it's from these ordinary people you are longing to be free. My hotel and on the tv...
The song is Port of Morrow by The Smiths

What I heard: Open condom store!

It's actually "Oppa Gangnam style!" No matter how many times I tell myself it's Oppa Gangnam Style, I just keep hearing "open condom store".

Sway sung by Dean Martin
Actual: "When we sway I go weak!"
Heard: "When we sway I go wheeee!"

I thought those were the lyrics for so many years...

I just realized that in "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty, he's saying "crazy 'bout Elvis." It took me listening to a cover to figure that one out.

...For the past decade-and-a-half of my life since I first heard that song, I've thought he was saying "crazy 'bout elephants."

" Hey I just met you and this is crazy, so here's my LLAMA so call me baby "
I swear to God; that's what I heard the first time I heard the song; and even though I know the real lyrics I still sing it with the Llama. And I don't even LIKE most pop sons =O

@ hawker!
That's not as bad as one of the DJs on the radio said; he said at first he thought it was " Free Ballin' " instead of " Free Fallin' ".... I mean my goodness xD

@ Reaver.
I always hear " whoppin' Condom Star " O.O sooo yeah you ain't the only pervert here! Hahaha xD

What I hear: I don't wanna believe I'm Entei. - American Capitalist, Five Finger Death Punch
Actual words: I don't wanna believe I'm empty.

Not really misheard, but I always assumed the song "Nights in White Satin" was "Knights in White Satin".

I still like mine better.

The first time I heard I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab For Cutie-

What it is: Illuminate the 'no's on their vacancy signs
What I heard: Illuminate the nose on their vacancy signs

When I heard We Are Young by fun. the first time:
what I heard: Give me a second eye, I need to get my story straight
what it is: Give me a second I-I need to get my story straight.

I mean really, I heard the right thing, I just interpreted it wrong.

Sins of My Youth by Neon Trees:
what I heard: I've got these habits that I cannot break, and as a mother there is more at stake.
what it is: I've got these habits that I cannot break, and as I'm older there is more at stake.

One Direction's Rock Me

Actual Lyrics: "R-O-C-K me again"
I heard: "I won't see Katie again."

Totally thought they wrote a song about me

Never Tear Us Apart - Paloma Faith

Actual Lyrics: "I, I was standing, you were there. Two worlds collided"
My mum heard: "I, I was standing, you were there. Two wardrobes collided"

She was forever calling it the wardrobe song and I didn't have a clue what she was on about.

siriusly.:

I'm not sure what the correct lyric is, but in Blinded by the Light I hear "Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche." My internet searchings tell me that that's a common mistake. XD

I know I just posted but reading through all this is making me
I thought that it was "wrapped up like a goose"

Avenged Sevenfold's Beast and the Harlot.

What I heard: "Now if you wanna serve above or be a G below with us..."

What it is: "Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us..."

I'll be a G or gangster with Avenged any day.

Truly by Lionel Richie.

What it is: I'm truly...
What I heard: I'm Julie...

I was eleven, okay.

Thriller by Fall Out Boy (Not the album version though, the demo version).

What it is: So long live the car-crash hearts // Cry on the couch all the poets come to life (I think...)
What I heard: So long live the car-park harp // Fly on the couch till the pirates come to life.

Also, Corrupted by McFly.

What it is: It chews you up when you feed it // but everyone needs to eat
What I heard It cheers you up when you feel it // but everyone needs you here.

I thought those were the actual lyrics to Corrupted for the longest time and I genuinely couldn't understand why they didn't make any sense whatsoever. I only found out earlier this year that those weren't the lyrics.

In RIP by Rita Ora:

Pretty much most of what Tinie Tempah is rapping? Yeah, I still don't understand most of it
after listening to the song over and over.

What I heard: "Jump out at no remoter."
What it is: "Jump out of the big remoter."

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN.

What I heard: Diamond doo, baby, New York City / Never was a hamburger so pretty.
What it is: Diet mountain dew, baby, New York City / Never was there ever a girl so pretty.

The earth moved when he spoke.

Actual Lyrics: Can anybody help me make things better.
