How about some of yours? We all have this problem from time to time. Here are some of mine.

Misheard-Theres a bathroom/baboon on the right.
Real-theres a bad moon on the rise

I don't need my pizza burning
I Don't need your beast of burden

Hold my breath as I wish for tea
Hold my breath as I wish for death.

 

[Eagle_Driver]

From The Beatles' "I Want To Hold...":

Misheard: I get high
Real: I can't hide

 

[zoboomofo]

This one's been bugging me for about 20 years.

From The Pretenders' Brass in Pocket:

"Gonna use my sausage." <-What

Everything but the Girl - Troubled Mind

Heard :"Cause with your troubled mind, you're like a good stream running through my life."

Real : "Cause with your troubled mind, you're like a goods train running through my life"

That one had me confused until I looked at the lyrics sheet.

Misheard-We all came down to Matt's house, on the Lake Geneva shoreline.
Real-We all came down to Mantraus, on the Lake Geneva shorline. Smoke On the Water

Misheard-Smoke On The Walter
Real-Smoke On The Water

Manfred Mann: Wrapped up like a ******?

 

[redshifter]

from stereolab's "transona five":
actual:
They are one of the same,
Two inevitables,
Two inevitables,

what i heard:
They are one of the same,
Two eager little boys,
Two eager little boys,

with her french accent that really sounds like what laetitia is singing.

it always reminded me a an old benny hill joke about a woman's bum looking like "two little boys wrestling under a blanket" when she walked by.

 

[Ebonyks]

Heard "Happiness is masterbation without the men"

Real: "Happiness is masterbation without the mess"

Our lady peace, happiness and the fish

 

[dr.orange]

Eric Clapton: Cecilia

Misheard: You're spilling my coffee babyyyyy
Real: You're shaking my confidence daily

 

[Mr.PD]

Sweet- Ballroom Blitz

It's a ballroom blitz
I heard "It's a bottle of Blitz"

 

[Khazim]

Tool - Reflection
Misheard: "Before we hide away."
Real: "Before we pine away."

 

[OneMalt]

This is a fairly common one from the Rascals' Groovin':

"You and me and Leslie" (Who the hell is Leslie?)

Should be "You and me endlessly".

Ok, growing up I always thought that's what he said, and when mom sings along, that's what she sings. Now, this isn't my kind of music so I never gave it another thought.

So what is he saying?

 

[Cherokee Mist]

That is Manfred Mann misinterpreting Bruce Springsteen's lyrics. It is supposed to be:

"And she was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night."

Not sure what drugs Manfred was taking at the time...

One of my buddies turned me on to Hendrix in 7th grade. First time I heard, "Purple Haze", I was a little confused.

Heard: "...'Scuze me, while I kiss this guy"
Real: "... 'Scuze me, while I kiss the sky"
