The "Hilarious Misheard Lyrics" Thread

[DollxParts]

Mine are:

Dommin's My Heart, Your Hands
They said: "You promised you wouldn't harm a hair..."
I heard: "You promised you wouldn't, hammerhead..."


"Sleepwalking"
They said: "Wait dear, the time is getting late here."
I heard: "Reindeer, the time is getting late here."

I will probably think of more later.

The theme from Firefly
He sung: "Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand"
I heard: "Take my love, take my land, you can take me where I stand"

[DollxParts]

Oh, and Pearl Jam's "Glorified G", my friend pointed out that it sounds like "Glorified version of a pelican" rather than "pellet gun." Which I found funny as I'm not a huge PJ fan...

There's a bathroom on the right

[Narcoma]

There's a Placebo line that goes:
"When I dream, I dream your fists"
On first listen I thought it said:
"When I dream, I dream your vests"
I was like... wha..? o_O

lacuna coil, our truth:
"clock is ticking"
"cock is stinking"

it's like she DOES say it.

I just remembered... my ex & I used to laugh over AC/DCs "You Shook Me All Night Long".

The first line goes: "She was a fast machine" but it sounds like "She was a fax machine"

And, where it says "You shook me all night long"
it sounds like: "You should be on my lawn"

It really does sound like that. It's pretty funny..

[Dark_Spiral]

^ Wait... that's what it's called? I always heard that as 'You should be all night long!"

...though I'll admit I wasn't listening very hard... I hate AC/DC...

[BlindMagLovett]

Ok I went through a little phase a few years ago when I would listen to Shakira's Laundry Service album over and over. And this one...yeah. I don't know where it came from.

Real Lyrics:
Objection! I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away!

What I heard:
Measure the angles of this trangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling, I'm farting, your hands are gay
No way I've got to get away!

Seriously. I, until the day I looked up the lyrics online, swore that those were the words because that's what I heard EVERY TIME! I was seriously confused as to what any of that had to do with the rest of the song, but never could hear any different.

[Dark_Spiral]

^ I could never work out those lyrics...

[DollxParts]

"The Sporting Life" by The Decemberists.
They say "there's my coach, he's looking down" but it sounds like "there's my goat cheese, looking down!"

Short Stack- Electric Romantics

He sung: 'I'm killing romance, in the name of love'
I heard: 'Uncanny romance, in the name of love'

[DoomGem]

I don't really wanna read any of these for fear of seeing a song that I like and then getting the incorrect words stuck in my head the next time I hear it, but....

For the longest time, I always thought Chibi was saying "mystic smiles", not "lipstick smiles". I like the former better but somehow I found out what she was actually saying. I think I found out just by listening to the song one day and hearing something a little different than I always heard before. I wasn't SURE that she was saying "lipstick" but I started to get a feeling. Then I just couldn't resist to look up the actual lyric. I usually try to avoid reading TBM's lyrics. I'd rather just hear what I wanna hear. It's been that way ever since I fell in love with Red Stars, the first song I ever heard by them.
