hi all. ok, I know we've all heard lyrics we can't at first understand and for ages think the bands are saying something really weard or insulting. please, give me your misheard or crazy lyrics, that is what you thought the lyric was, and what, if misheard, the lyric actually was. I'll start you off with a silly lyric. Summer breaze,,, makes me feel fine,,, blowing through the jasmine in my mind. What the hell were they thinking of when they wrote that!
I have one. *smiles* In the song "Beast of Burden" by the Rolling Stones, I thought he was saying "i never see your pizza burnin'"! *laughs* But he was really saying "i'll never be your beast of burden. (Actually, I just looked this up right now and found that out for sure. *laughs*

I've just looked for misheard lyrics for the band status quo, and there's loads! they're all verhrhrhrhry funny!
Here's a ccr one! Don't go out tonight, for it's bound to take your life, there's a bathroom on the right. But they actually said don't go out tonight, for it's bound to take your life, there's a bad moon on the rise. Also here's one from Paul Young's every time you go away where he says every time you go away, you take a peace of meat with you, but he actually says every time you go away, you take a peace of me with you.
And forget "Purple Haze" by Jimie Hendrix when you think he says "Excuse me while I kiss this guy". It's actually "Excuse me while I kiss the sky". Lol.
Oh gosh this happens to me all the time. The best one was this song we were singing in chorus that was in Hebrew. It went, "He nay ma tove ..." and then some other stuff I dunno how to spell that sounded like "Ooh wah my ee shel la tah hee mon ya ov," and I thought it was saying, "He made my tofu (as in the japanese meat thing), wa, my yee! Shell la tov he, mon yah, off!" oR something. Heh. Random...
I came up with a username once because I misheard a Blind Guardian lyric. I thought in Battlefield it said "Let's pray and bless to the aida" The album was A Night at the Opera and an aida is a leading lady in an opera, but it was "Let's pray and blessed be our leader" My dad misheard AC/DC's song Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" and thought it said "dirty feet and the thunder cheeks!" They did a call in thing like this on a classic rock station and there's that one song that says "I'm hot blooded, check it and see" and the guy thought it said "I'm a hot blooded chicken of the sea" Oh, and when I heard Metallica's Unforgiven, there's a line that says constant pain and disgrace and I thought he said "constipated disgrace"
there are some great ones here, keep your miss-heard lyrics coming!
I have sooo many, I'm such a bad lyrics decoder, I just can't think of any...hmmm...well there was thsi one random song on the radio and i thought it was saying "you're blah" or somethign lol ... I don't remember. If I think of anymore I'll post. But i'm dying reading these hehehe.
When I heard the Deftone's "Be Quiet and Drive", for awhile I hated that song because I could not understand the words and the yelling part sounded like the worst whining ever! I know that part was saying "I When I heard the Deftone's "Be Quiet and Drive", for a while I hated it because I couldn't understand the lyrics, and the shouting part sounded like terrible whining! I thought it was saying "I don't care if it's far", but I had to go and find the lyrics and it is actually saying "I don't care where, just far", plus I found out the rest of the lyrics, so now I don't mind the song as much since it now makes much more sense to me. *smile*
Woops, sorry, I thought I had deleted the part of the post I was trying to rewrite. Anyway here's what I was trying to say. *smile*

I wish I could remember what my girlfriend told me what she thought the lyrics said, but she heard the song "boten anna" by basshunter, and thought the lyrics were completely different from what they were.
in the song by the streets, fit but you know it i thought he was saying, i would like to tickle you though you don't want me too, though he was actually saying, i'm not trying to pull you, even though i would like too. lol
Oh man!! You should go to
www.amiright.com
They have toooons of hilarious misheard lyrics there!!
One of my personal favorites, but some one online's slip up, not mine
Nonpoint "Victim"
Lyrics: "Your a victim, slipping through the system!"
Misheard by online person as: "Victor! Slammin on my sister!"
Lol.
Oh!! That song "I'm your Venus"
It goes "I'm your venus, I'm your fire, your desire!"
That was my mistake & when I was a little girl I was in the backseat singing:
"I'm your penis, I'm your fire, your desire!" Lol!
in bring me to life, the lyrics go "bid my blood to run"
and someone misheard it as "spin my box around"
So smokey bear was that t the Type O negative version of Summer breeze you are refering to in the first post? Anyways another often misunderstood lyric is from the Tool song sober, Alot of people thinks he says, "I am just a worthless Lawyer" when the line is "I am just a worthless Liar"
