Hi, what're some song lyrics that you misheard? Here's a short list of song titles and lyrics and what I thought the lyrics were.
1. Bad moon Rising by Credence Clearwater Revival,
I used to think it said "there's a bathroom on the right"
It really says "there's a bad moon on the rise"
2. Sledgehammer by Peter gabriel
I used to think it said "we could have some bumper cars humping"
It really says "We could have some bumper cars bumping"
3. Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top
I used to think it said "every girl's crazy about a shot glass man"
It really says "every girl's crazy about a sharp dressed man"
4. Blinded by the Light (okay, someone fill in the blank here).
I used to think it said "wrapped up like a douch"
It really says "wrapped up like a duce"
5. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2
I used to think it said "I have kissed horny lips"
It really says "I have kissed phony lips"
Okay, any additions? Can't to hear some other funny lyrics.

Most people I know have thought the CCR song Bad Moon rising said bathroom on the right. Sometimes in the cover band I play in my brother will sing it that way and people crack up over it.

I feel like I've seen this topic on this board before, but maybe not. Anyway, you took one of mine. I thought Blinded by the Light was the same thing, about douch. The other one was Kiss The Sky, by Jimi Hendricks. I used to think it said, "Excuse me while I kiss this guy."

I thought the U2 song said hungry lips. But as for mine, the one I remember most was the song Wn by Metallica. It says Hold my breath as I wish for death. I used to think it said as I wish for tea. LOL. Then an acquaintance of mine used to get confused by that stupid Blue song by eiffel 65. Of course the chorus is I'm blue da ba d da ba di. Well he thought it was saying I'm blue, I'm in need of a guy. ANd of course just about every Green Day song is easy prey for mishearing the lyrics.

lol I can't exactly think of any that haven't already been mentioned, and this might seem slightly irrelevant, but I googled "websights for commonly misheard lyrics", and this seems to be the best link I found.

Haha, glad i'm not the only one who thought the CCR song said Bathroom. I remember hearing these songs when I was a kid, so maybe I just didn't pay close enough attention to the Lyrics. That's a funny Jimi Hendrix Lyric. One of my sister's friends used to think the Rolling Stones song "Beast of Burden" actually said "big suburban". I still can't hear that song without a giggle.

I was browsing around and found some misheard lyrics and the funnyest one to me was the Chrystal Gayle song, Why Have you Left the one you Left me For?
Someone thought it said, has she hair like me that's lavender.
It really says, Has she heard like me, that slamming door.

That's funny!

Just a quick correction, its revved up like a deuce. Its talking about motorcycles.
Wrapped up like a deuce makes it sound like they're singing about toilet practices.

A friend of mine thought that the Ramones song Blitzkrieg Bop was actually let's drink pop. I can't hear that song without cracking up now.

## Post 12 by Dirty Little Oar (I'd rather be rowing.) on Friday, 10-Jun-2011 14:17:28

When it first came out, I thought "I want a new Drug" by Huey Lewis and the News was saying "I want a new truck". I was like 12 or something so to be fair, I don't think I really knew what drugs were. My Dad still laughs at me every time that song comes on.

## Post 13 by jessmonsilva (Taking over the boards, one topic at a time.) on Friday, 10-Jun-2011 14:53:31

In Rihanna's only girl in the world I thought it said I want you to love me like I'm a hot pie. It's I want you to love me like I'm a hot ride.

## Post 14 by CrazyCapricorn (I lost my conscience! Anyone seen it?) on Friday, 10-Jun-2011 16:59:26

lol Jess, I thought the same thing.
And I also thought "Revved up like a deuce" said "Rapped up like a douch" lol

## Post 15 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Saturday, 11-Jun-2011 19:30:24

For years, I always wondered how they could get away with playing the popular song about 'Signs, signs, everywhere are signs' ... I thought the next line started with 'f**kin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind'.

## Post 16 by GreenTurtle (Music is life. Love. Vitality.) on Saturday, 11-Jun-2011 21:26:03

Oh yeah, I used to wonder how they would get away with playing FM by Steely Dan, cause i thought it said give us some fucked up music instead of funked up.

## Post 17 by blw1978 (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Sunday, 12-Jun-2011 0:12:00

Wow! Thanks for the Reved up like a deuce correction. I also thought the Rihanna song said "hot pie". I never sang it that way, cause I figured it was wrong. I also used to think Weezer's song said I've got my ass wipe, instead of hash pipe. Lol!! My best friend in Middle school thought the Red Hot Chili Peppers song said "get it away" not "give it away"

## Post 18 by BryanP22 (Novice theriminist) on Monday, 13-Jun-2011 12:25:00

Well as for the Ramones (R.I.P. Joey), it would be pretty easy to mishear their lyrics LOL.

## Post 19 by blw1978 (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Monday, 13-Jun-2011 21:01:31

Yeah, I've misheard a lot of Ramones lyrics. When I was about four, the Hall and Oates Song Man Eater was really popular. I used to think it said "man meeter". My older sisters still tease me over that one.

## Post 20 by Imprecator (The Zone's Spelling Nazi) on Wednesday, 15-Jun-2011 2:00:16

Listen To The Music by The Doobie Brothers: I used to think the chorus went, "For a while, it's confusing."

## Post 21 by SilverLightning (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Wednesday, 15-Jun-2011 2:25:53

The wheezer song says "I've got my ass wide" and "I've got my hash pipe". So you were closer than you thought.

## Post 22 by GreenTurtle (Music is life. Love. Vitality.) on Saturday, 18-Jun-2011 22:12:40

In the Pink Floyd song Hey You, instead of the line about breaking bottles in the hall, I was convinced he said breaking bubbles in the hall.

## Post 23 by blw1978 (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Thursday, 23-Jun-2011 1:42:24

Wow, thanks for the weezer correction. Pink Floyd is another band whose lyrics are easy to get wrong. I like their music though.

## Post 24 by BryanP22 (Novice theriminist) on Saturday, 09-Jul-2011 18:41:04

Green Day's another band whose lyrics are also easy to get wrong as I may have said earlier.

In the Fantacy remix mariah carey did with ODB, I thought he said I'm a little bit Rocky, but he actually said, I'm a little bit country. In I want it that way by the Backstreet boys, I thought they said aint nothin' but a party, it was actually aint nothin' but a heartache. In happily ever after by Case, I thought he said, many times bitches just stayin on my mind, but he actually said pictures just stayin on my mind. Lol who the heck can understand Michael sometimes? Between the sha moans and he, hees! Lol smooth criminal? I still don't know exactly what he's talkin' bout, but I thought he was saying, Anny are you walking? He actually says anny are you ok. When I was little I just use to say any nonsense like, "Anny are you walking, when your jealous, are you walking? uh arra karra wicky wendow, anna shindow, and a shoon doom, daddy. a shonna nahnna onna wengo, and a blood stains, on the carpet...deh gone it, baybeh!"

## Post 27 by BryanP22 (Novice theriminist) on Sunday, 27-May-2012 11:08:05

LOL. My favorite was that stupid Eiffel65 song. The propper lyric of course is I'm blue da ba d da ba di, bla bla bla...minus the bla bla bla of course. But I had more than a few friends say they thought it was I'm blue, I'm in need of a guy.

## Post 28 by DevilishAnthony (Just go on and agree with me. You know you want to.) on Sunday, 27-May-2012 14:11:47

Omg lmao! That's funny.

## Post 29 by LittleSneezer (The Zone-BBS is my prison, but I like it here.) on Sunday, 27-May-2012 18:16:32

A couple of my friends thought it was "I'm blue, if I was green I would die."

Thanks for this everyone. Best forum read in quite a while.
This isn't mine, but my mom thought the 3 Doors Down song "Be like that" actually said "f*** me like that" in instead of "if I could be like that."

if you're gonna say the word fuck, why censor it? just sayin'.

## Post 32 by Remy (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Monday, 28-May-2012 12:41:00

Because I try to avoid needless swaring as much as I can.

## Post 33 by chelslicious (like it or not, I'm gonna say what I mean. all the time.) on Monday, 28-May-2012 12:47:22

oh brother; to each their own, though. *shrugs*.

## Post 34 by chelslicious (like it or not, I'm gonna say what I mean. all the time.) on Monday, 28-May-2012 14:34:32

to get back on topic, one of my younger cousins used to think Eminem's song "without me" said "consaversity" instead of "controversy.
