Misheard Song Lyrics

[china444]

Song- that one Chumbawumba song

What I heard- I get no towels, but I get up again, never gonna get me towels

Real Lyric- I get knocked down, but I get up again, never gonna keep me down

Real Lyric- Rolling down the street smokin (not sure, i think it is still window) sippin on gin and juice LAID BACK

Thought Van Halen's "Running With the Devil" was "Burning With the Devil" until I saw the title printed on the Van Halen II album. About the time I was just getting out of my fundamentalist phase and into Junior High .

I know there've been other ones, can't think of them offhand though.

Now think a bit.

Would 2live Crew so Me so Honey?

Think a little before you misunderstand it.

The reason *I* knew what it said was that I'd seen the movie "Full Metal Jacket"--wasn't that a soundclip from the scene with the hooker in Hue?

Some song by Beck, which is titled Loser. I was maybe 7 at the time.

Real Lyrics:
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

I heard:
Wah, I live in Canada,
So why don't you kill me

Later I heard:
Wah, I live in Canada,
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me

From my cousin:
Aerosmith's "Eat the rich" = "Pizza Base"

 

[Stile]

This thread is hilarious.

Beastie Boys:
actual: "No sleep 'til Brooklyn!"
my brother: "No please, don't proflay!" - he had no idea what proflay meant

Sugar Ray:
actual: "spread your love and fly"
me: "regular Bud Light"

Found another one. .. Copperhead Road, by Steve Earle

Heard: Shot coat of primer on the side
Actual: Johnson County sheriff painted on the side.

Heard: something about driving a trash truck
Actual: Round here they draft the white trash first anyway.

That song gave me a bunch of headaches until I hunted the lyrics down.

Peter Gabriel: "Sledgehammer".

My wife heard: Won't you chauffeur me? 'Cause I will chauffeur you.

Actual Lyrics: Won't you show for me? 'Cause I will show for you.

Doesn't make sense either way of course, but that's show business. <groan>

In "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam, I always hear either "Jeremy has spoken" or "Jeremy is broken".

Which one is it?

 

[Renata]

Jeremy spoke in class today.
