ReefWhat is a song lyric that you misheard completely?
ZombiepirateI used to think the Kiss song went “I wanna rock and roll all night… and part of every day.”
AurenkinModeration is key for everything, after all.
We found Lois Griffin
Captain AggravatedI mean, partying every day just results in Slurms McKenzie.

GreyShuckI always heard it as trombeleese, which I imagined to be some exotic musical instrument like this:
That thing looks like a Fremen sandworm saxophone
“It’s him. It’s Kenny Al G!”
This made me laugh pretty good. Delightful!
SubArcticTundraI wonder what that sounds like.
CanopyflyerManfred Mann’s cover of Blinded by the Light has entered the chat. Probably the most misheard lyrics in the entire history of modern music.
It’s “Revved up like a deuce.”
Wait… Manfred Mann’s version is a cover? Yep, Blinded by the Light was originally performed Bruce Springsteen.
Blinded By The Light
Speaking of blinding, my honey used to think a different song went “she blinded me with oven mitts, it opened up my eyes”
And the Springsteen version very clearly says deuce which means Manfred Mann had to deliberately change it.
Pandantic [they/them]I used to sing Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong as “Pyramids, pyramids, pyramids, pyramids can’t be wrong”.
Also, in Africa, I definitely thought they said “rises like a lepress (like a female leopard) above the Serengeti”. The real lyric is “Olympus”.
Untill this day, I thought it was lepress too.
FenrirIIIIt makes more sense as the mountain isn’t even located there to begin with
I love that lyric, it’s so supid.
I know that I must do what’s right, sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
Mount Olympus (assuming we’re talking the one in Greece and not the one on Mars) is like 3,000 feet tall, Kilimanjaro is 7,000 feet tall. Kilimanjaro would put Olympus to shame, except Olympus is whiter than Kilimanjaro.
Also, you can’t see Kilimanjaro from the Serengeti. There’s a small area where the summit is above the horizon but the air is too hazy.
Even more reason why it should have been a lepress!
Also, if he’s sure he must do what’s right “as sure as Kilimanjaro rises… above the Serengetil”, and it doesn’t, I guess that means that he must not do what’s right? Or only a little bit, and it’s a bit hazy… 😋
Thanks for the great info!
I think I’ve read that it was either intentionally written kind of dumb, like it sounds poetic but it’s the kind of thing a white guy who has never been to Africa would say.

AceFuzzLordWith Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong I used to hear “ain’t nobody gonna come when your sound is gone” instead of “when you sound your gong”.
Yes, me too for that part too.
I have an auditory processing disorder sooo all of them lol
Excuse me, while I kiss this guy.
It wasn’t until my first job at a grocery store during Christmas time that I learned it was “Feliz Navidad” being sung.
Before that, I couldn’t figure out why the cheerful song that only appeared around Christmas time was saying “Police shot my dad”
OwlBest laugh I had in a long time 🤣😭
Don’t go, Jason waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.

Kings of Leon. I always thought that he said “You know I wanna eat somebody. Someone like you!”
I’m not absolutely sure if this is the right snippet of the song, but I don’t see a more-likely bit:

You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you…
That’s it. I still can’t hear “use” even though I now know it’s the name of the song.
If anybody remembers this from Del Amitri: youtu.be/K_s44LilaYM
I always heard "The wrong guy, the wrong situation. The right time the wrong week.

“Parrot, parrot, parrot eyes” by Coldplay (Paradise)
tgirlschierkeParadise is the song with the weird elephant music video, right?
I thought it was monkeys
Lemmy Sparkling LemonadeFor a long time, I thought in the song Inagadadavida, the lyrics went ‘“doncha know that I love you”, but it turns out, they say "l’m lovin’ you".
That’s not really a fair song to enter in a misheard lyrics thread.
But, there’s so few lyrics in that song, and they say it repeatedly. When I first learned they say lovin’ and not love, all I could think was the McLovin from Superbad. I’m mclovin youuuu…
As bad as Louis, Louis.

STEVIE RIKS - Bee Gees Misheard Lyrics - Night Fever (Nice Beaver) - (With Stevie Riks)
Blinded by the light.
Revved up like a douche, another runner in the night.
It’s _duece. _
That actually makes even less sense.
It’s referring to a two-stroke engine.
Generally it’s a 2-door car, specifically a 1932 Ford.
Not a motorcycle?!?!
This seemed like such a motorcycle song!
Mayor PoopingtonIt’s a strange song
I always heard “wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night” and happily sung that in bars.
Blinded by the light – wrapped up, like a douche, another runner in the night.

dan1101Instead of the Go Go’s saying “Our lips are sealed” I thought they were saying “Honest, Lucille.”

We like to joke about non Spanish lyrics that sounds like Spanish. I love Apolocatv channel for that and 🐱 costumes.
Éxitos y Clásicos en INGLÉS, que suenan como español! Radio Michi 😎🎸!
In yoga, they have us sit in “sucasana” (also known as criss-cross applesauce) and I always t hear it as the polite form of tu casana, and Namaste also sounds like a Spanish word to me, every time. Tu Namaste tambien!
