Misheard Lyrics

[Dragoncat]

Ever heard something in a song and thought: Wait a minute, that can't be right? Or maybe you didn't think that and later on you found out you heard it wrong, and felt stupid or embarrassed? Post those here.

I'll post a video for the first one only because I'm too lazy to look up the name of the other song. It took me long enough to find this one...it's not unique or a well known song.

Real Lyric: I came here for diamonds, so beautiful
Misheard Lyric: I give you (insert plural of word starting with a v and meaning part of a woman's anatomy here), so beautiful

I'm not kidding. I honestly heard that. The part starts around 0:45...please tell me I'm not the only one with a mind dirty enough to hear it.

And the other one...

Real Lyric: Shake your body, rock your body
Misheard Lyric: Sh*t you're back, monkey butt

I heard the right lyric when I listened closer lol.

There's a entire website dedicated to this here. There's some pretty hilarious ones on there...

 

[misskitten]

First time I hear Pokerface, I really thought it was "poke her face", lol. Was ages until I learned the song's title and realized I had been mistaken, lol

 

[Fraxinus]

Just two for now. Maybe I'll add some later if I feel like it.

Song: Overcome
Artist: As I Lay Dying

Lyrics: "So can all this pain!"
Mondegreen: "So, get on this bed!"
[reference]

~~~
There are a lot from when I was little... but I don't feel like thinking too hard, so I'll just include this one:

Song: Play That Funky Music
Artist: Wild Cherry

Lyrics: "Play that funky music, whiteboy."
Mondegreen: "Play that funky music, lightbulb."
[reference]

Pretty obvious I didn't know what a whiteboy was.

 

[Mellow Ezlo]

Song: Shake Your Groove Thing.

Proper lyrics: Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yaya!
Misheard version: Shake your boobies, shake your boobies, yaya!

Song: Venus

Proper lyrics: I'm your venus, I'm your fire at your desire
Misheard version: I'm your penis, I'ma fly over your fire...

These were both when I was like 3 or 4... and I sang them both out loud! And that's why I got kicked out of Wal-Mart

Woah penis is uncensored now? LOL when you were 3 or 4, did you even know what a penis was? Most 3/4 year olds would call it a peepee or weenie or something like that.

When my cousin was little he actually sang this one in walmart and embarrassed my aunt half to death:

Real Lyric: stuck on you
Misheard Lyric: suck on you

 

[Spiritual Mask Salesman]

Jimi hendrix
Can't remember the name of the song, but he says
Excuse me while I kiss the sky
People miss hear it and think he says
Excuse me while I kiss this guy
Lol

I just thought of another
Nirvana
Song: Lithium
Real lyrics: I like it I'm not gonna crack
Misheard lyrics: I like it I'm not quitting crack

 

[Fig]

This just happened to me just right now when my friend linked to the He-Man HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA video.

[video=youtube;ZZ5LpwO-An4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ5LpwO-An4[/video]

Original Lyrics:

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

Misheard Lyrics:

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying b****
To get it all out, what is in my head
And I, I know I could kill ya

Immediately after I misheard that, I double-checked to make sure that I did in fact misheard the lyrics as I was very certain that those words weren't really there. Thankfully they are not, but I feel so ashamed to have misheard that. I think this is a sign that I need some sleep.

 

[Magatha]

Ho Hey by the Lumineers.
My brother, my mom and I had 3 different versions of the lyrics:

Max: I've been longing you, you've been longing me in my sleep.

Mom: I belong with you. you belong with me, in my sweet home

Me: I belong with you. you belong with me, you're my sweetheart.


After a rather intense debate and a quick google search, it turns out I was right.

 

[CynicalSquid]

Whitechapel - The Darkest Day of Man

Original lyrics: With the time and preparation I could be a tyrant and ensure the downfall

Misheard lyrics: Where's the Dr. Pepper, ******? Walking to the toilet and it's on the damn floor.

 

[Blue Canary]

I don't remeber the original lyrics (And I'm to lazy to look them up) but here is the mondegreen:

I'm a little man, oh so ???, oh so into cats... oh so into cats...

 

[Akuhime-sama]

The '80s song "Africa", I misheard as a child.
I always thought they were saying "I left some raisins down in Africa..."

Years later, I was told that they were saying "I bless the rains down in Africa"

[Dragoncat]

"I left my brains down in Africa" is a common one for that one.

 

[Fraxinus]

Blame my sister for this one, alright? I'm constantly being reminded of it right now because when my sister wants to play MK8 with me, she'll sing "Mario Kart" to the tune of this song. Note we had a little bit of fun stretching the mondegreen as much as we could. Molybdenum suffers from low-level hearing loss from really bad sinus infections when she was little, so that might be a part of it.

Song: Super Smash Bros. Brawl Main Theme
Artist: Nobuo Uematsu

Lyrics: "Audi famam illius. Solus in hostes ruit et patriam servavit. --Audi famam illius..."
Mondegreen: "Mario Kart! Link, too! Kirby is so cute! Snake is a butt-head! --Donkey Kong! Pikachu~ *...insert impromptu lyrics about the rest of the characters here*"

 

[Dragoncat]

LMAO Snake is a butt head. Doesn't really count as misheard lyrics since they're ones that are made up and they sound nothing like the real ones, but I'll let it slide

 

[Akuhime-sama]

There was a section of "Eight Easy Steps" by Alanis Morissette That I misheard them saying "Digimon!"
I think it was the point in which they suddenly start the chorus of "I'll teach you all this..."
The "I'll Teach you all" part, sounded like "I'll DIGIMON!" xD

Also the lyric: "I'll show you how leaderships looks when taught by the best"
I misheard that for "I'll show you how neat your $hit looks" xP
