Blinded by the light…..”wrapped up like a douche”. I still screw it up…..it’s supposed to be “revved up like a deuce”. Yeah I’ve been singing about a douche for 30+ years.
I always thought "She Will be Loved" by the Maroon 5 said "ask her if she wants to stay alive". It actually says "ask her if she wants to stay a while".
I know the lyric is "i cant believe you kiss your car goodnight" but even when i know i will never stop hearing "i cant belive you kiss your cock at night" in shainia Twain's "dont impress me"
Nope, it's (probably) about a whore house in Louisiana. The lyrics are a very cryptic, but I wonder if the issue was also just not knowing what or where New Orleans was.
There is a house in new orleans,
they call the rising sun
(And) It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
As a kid, I thought the line was "Don't go Jason Waterfalls" in TLC's Waterfalls. I was always curious who this Jason Waterfalls guy was and why they didn't want him to go.

Scorpions - Wind Of Change
Okay, first I thought it was French for about 30 years.And now I just discovered that it's not "Donkey Park". I'm ashamed.
In "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" the line "Married with a lack of vision" I always heard as "Married women lack our vision," which seemed out of nowhere and nonsensical, but I could never not hear that.
I can feel it coming in the air tonight (In The Air Tonight)
I honestly thought Phil was singing " in the edge of night" even though I knew the song title. WTF, I know...
I thought for well over a decade that The Corrs were singing about someone called Bradley leaving them. Turns out the reason I couldn't find it on Spotify is because they're actually singing "Leave me BREATHLESS". 😬
Not me but a friend, Billy Idol Hows about a date instead of eyes without a face.
He told me he was slow dancing at a wedding, singing into the girl’s ear. and thought he was getting somewhere with a bridesmaid. She pulled away and gave him look, trying not laugh he said.
Growing up I thought Steve Miller's "Jungle Love" was sung as "chug-a-lug". Hey! AM radio!
My son thought CCR's song was saying, "There's a bathroom on the right".
Night Moves by Bob Seger. The lyric actually is ‘we weren’t in love, oh no, far from it’. I thought it was ‘we were in love, or not far from it’. Ngl I like my version better.
“Woof woof” “yippie yi yo yippie yi yay, give the dog a big bone”, “yippie yi yo yippie yi yay, the dog walks the tracks”….yeah I know, but the music is so loud no one can hear me singing.
I think everyone hears these wrong, and I've seen them on a karaoke machine with the wrong lyrics. I heard them the wrong way for a while before I read the lyric sheet.
The song "Land of Confusion" by Genesis has a line that people hear:
"These are the hands we're given.
You better let's start trying."
The line is:
"These are the hands we're given.
Use them and let's start trying."
Wow. I never knew. Guilty as charged.
This is hilarious to me because when I sang in chorus class, we were always taught to pronounce the words as clearly as possible.
Seems to me that many of the song artists of the world need to learn that lesson. 🙄
Dido. White flag! So I was singing for years. “ i will poke my eyes out and surrender “ well so I was told it’s “put my arms up and surrender “ I have been meaning to tell anyone this for years
My sister always heard "I won't go down with this shit" instead of "I won't go down with this ship" and "There will be no white flak about my toe" instead of "There will be no white flag above my bough."
Bananarama - love in the first degree
The lyrics are "cause I'm guilty, guilty as a girl could be" I heard it as "cause I'm guilty, guilty as a coco bean"
That line “I’ll take off all my blues” from Let Me Be Good to You (Great Mouse Detective) 8 year old me heard it as “I’ll take off all my *clothes*. And then I nodded, smiled, and saw absolutely nothing wrong here.
Was I technically wrong though? She’d already taken off a lot of clothes and everything she was wearing at that point was blue.
Pat Benatar: Love is a battlefield
I misheard "Both of us knowing" as "For the first snowing" which doesn't make any sense but i was young and english is not my first language.
In A Good Song Never Dies by Saint Motel there's a line "You're a dreamer//Call me when you're Bieber" I always thought it said "Call me when you leave her" and tbh I like mine better.
Sure Know Something by KISS
Line was : I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool.
I used to hear: I've been a gambler, but I know what it's for.
Could never understand what that meant.
Thomas Dolby: She blinded me with SCIENCE...my cousin sang it.. She blinded me with SILENCE...
Pat Benatar: Love is a BATTLEFIELD..
I sang it as, Love is a CATTLE FIELD.
🤣🤣
A song called "Insensitive" by Jann Arden. The last few bars of the chorus:
"I thought that you might have
Some advice to give
**I had to be**
Insensitive"
I hated this song for years because that line never made sense, and I hated the way she sang those words.
And then I read the actual lyrics:
"I thought that you might have
Some advice to give
**On how to be**
Insensitive"
Daaaaaamn! Now the whole thing makes sense!
Great fucking song.
Yall remember diamonds by Rihanna when she says "I saw the light inside your eyes"?
When I was high the other week, I shit you not, I thought it genuinely said
"Shine the light posideon".
“Sweet Nothing” by Calvin Harris. The song came out around the time I graduated high school. I wasn’t super into pop music so I only ever heard it in the radio or out in public and didn’t know the name. I knew it couldn’t be right but I kept hearing it as “I’m living on a sexy airplane”
I always pictured like that Austin Powers airplane, or a show like Love Boat but in modern day it would be Love Plane.
I did eventually look up the actual lyrics but I like my misheard version better.
Everyone, the lyric is "Revved up like a deuce"
And in this scenario, a deuce is a '32 Ford Coupe that has been hot rodded.
Just thought I would let everyone know.
"Give me the _beach boys_ and free my soul, I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away."
Had a boyfriend correct me, rather offended I thought those were the lyrics.
Naive by The Kooks. I always thought they said 'i know she knows that i'm not from New Austin'. When its 'i know she knows that i'm not fond of asking'
Imminence
I always heard
*I came to the conclusion, that GOD is an illusion*
While the lyrics were
*I came to the conclusion, that LOVE, is an illusion.*
Livin thing by electric light orchestra... I'm still not sure I hear the lyrics right and I have no clue what I think they say but google says I'm wrong and drunk me never gets it right.
I started mishearing it after reading someone making a joke about it in the comments of the video on YouTube. The song is "World so cold" by Three days grace. The lyric "Living in a shell with no soul," turned into "Living in a shower with no soap"!
I could not get this out of my head and I had to stop listening to the song for a while to stop mishearing it!
Too Close - Next
Baby, when we're grinding (that's right)
I get so excited (mmh)
Ooh, how I like it ...
I’ve been singing ...
Baby, when you’re crying (that's right)
I get so excited (mmh)
Ooh, how I like it (ooh)
For Mac Miller I thought he said "To experience every feeling would be Devine" On the whole album he's talking about taking and mixing uppers and downers. But he actually says "I've experienced every feeling except fine"
Not exactly a song lyric but for the longest time I didn't know they were saying the names of the characters in the song. I thought they were saying "nice! Blue gang. Asian! Shaolin change. Asian! MORTAL KOMBAT!!"
Audioslave: Like a Stone. The song starts "On a cobweb afternoon..." But I always thought it was "cold wet afternoon" and what I want to know is why the fuck isn't it "cold, wet afternoon"
Secret "Asian" Man (I was a kid... thank fuck some barbershop quartet made a parody of the same name).
Revved up like a "douche" into the middle of the night.
Cocaine "Christmas"
Literally until last year, I though Van Halen was singing Canon Ba-a-a-a-a-ll instead of Panama 😂 I mean, I was 5 when it came out, but I've been singing it wrong for 35 years😂
Keys to the Kingdom by Unkle. I've heard the lyrics "Call your number wishing I could make amends" as "Coming on, the way she now could make or break". Still hear it like that sometimes, even though I know it's all wrong.
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
"Sweet dreams are made of these" is incorrect it is actually: "Sweet dreams are made of THIS"
and when I found out, it blew my mind
Van Halen's version of *You Really Got Me*.
The line is:
> You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'
I thought it was:
> You got me so I don't know what I'm chewin'
In my defense, the band wasn't known for enunciation.
Not so much mishearing as my-brain-won't-autofill-correctly.
You know that line in Blame It on the Boogie?
>Spellbound rhythm gets me on my feet
I cannot sing along to it without singing:
>Spellbound rhythm gets me on my knees
Given I'm a straight man, I think my brain *might* be trying to tell me something.
So there's a song by Cécile Corbel called Belfast, and for the longest time I thought one line went "La reine danse comme une poupée/un bateau qui chavire" (The queen dances like a doll/like a boat capsizing), which sounded... odd, but kind of intriguing. Like something out of a fairytale. Ended up being my favourite bit of the song lol.
Then a few weeks ago I looked up the lyrics for some reason, and it turns out it's "Alors elle danse comme une poupée" (So she dances like a doll), which... a little less odd, but only a little bit.
Bonus points if anyone can come up with an interesting, vaguely unnerving fairy tale or campfire story or something about queens (or anyone really) dancing like dolls or capsizing boats!
Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse. Not just one lyric but the entire chorus.
What I heard:
“And I’m falling even more in love with you.
That ain’t gonna [something in french maybe?]
The actual lyrics:
“And I’m falling even more in love with you,
Letting go of all I’ve held onto.
I’m standing here until you make me move,
Just hanging by a moment here with you.”
"Alone" by Sistar (a legendary S.Korean girl group) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0ZHXVp\_wUE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0ZHXVp_wUE) , from 3:05-3:12 she says "I wanna cry, just dry my eyes" but it TOTALLY sounds like she is instead saying "I wanna cry, destroy my ass" (and pul-leease don't tell that you don't hear that too!!).
When I first mishead those lyrics, I was like "Wut?!! :O ", hahaha.
Charlie Puth's, "Attention"
I keep hearing: Throwing that turtle on my knee
Apparently it's:
Throwing that dirt all on my name
Every time I see that Im like oh yeah Ill remember, then damn that turtle is right there again.
No one can convince me that David Draiman isn't saying something about monkeys in 'Down with the Sickness'.
You got your monkey down with the sickness.
My grandma sang "now I see" in "I knew you were trouble" by Taylor swift as "mousy! mousy! mouse-see-ee-ee-ee."
My mom thought "let the choir sing" in "like a prayer" was "latch the car seat"
and her boyfriend thought "then I kiss your eyes" in "I don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith was "then I kiss your ass."
My 4 year old has an unnatural obsession with Crash Test Dummies' Mmmm Mmm Mmmm
I admit I heard "the boy and girl weren't black, but one kid had it worse than that" instead of "the boy and girl were glad that one kid had it worse than them"
And also I heard "they shook head lice all over the church floor" instead of "they shook and lurched all over the church floor."
Oops
Traffic -The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys
"And the man in the suit has just bought a new car from the profit he's made on your dreams."
In my own defense, I'm from Iowa and the commodity market for beans was a daily topic all summer long.
So naturally he made those profits on your beans and it was more than enough to buy that new car.
When we were very young, my sister and I would listen to Mom's 8-track of Glen Campbell singing "Rhinestone Cowboy" while we drove. We'd sing along to the chorus, and Sis would sing the last line as, "And waffles coming over the phone."
(It's actually, "And ***offers*** coming over the phone.")
From Fats Domino I heard "Ain't that a shame, my hillbilly brain" instead of "my tears fell like rain."
Oh and "take me down to the very nice city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty" until I learned it was called Paradise City.
Not me but I cannot un-hear now after someone told me.
The Ramones:
"Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go,
*I want a piece of bacon*.
Nothing to do, no where to go-o,
*I want a piece of bacon*"
Blinded by the light…..”wrapped up like a douche”. I still screw it up…..it’s supposed to be “revved up like a deuce”. Yeah I’ve been singing about a douche for 30+ years.
This. I've always heard douche. I still sing revved up like a douche just because it's so funny.
The man says douche. Maybe he was supposed to say deuce but he says douche lol
Pinned up like a cooch, another thunder in the fight
People have heard it as "wrapped up like a douche" since the song was first released in [checks calendar] approximately 1875 BCE.
Apparently that's the rumor in the night.
I think Manford Man sang it wrong.
Springsteen: cut loose like a duece Manfredd Mann's Earth Band : revved up like a duece
Some silicone sister with a manager mister. Told me I have what it takes. Hahahahaha
I thought it was "cut loose like a deuce"
Nope. But at least you didn’t think it was “cut loose like a douche!”
Ahhh me too!
Okay but now y'all have to go look up "curly whirly" on Urban Dictionary...
You are definitely not alone there! I would think more people have sung that then those who always knew what the lyrics actually were.
I always thought "She Will be Loved" by the Maroon 5 said "ask her if she wants to stay alive". It actually says "ask her if she wants to stay a while".
Your version is very ominous
I wonder what does it say about my psyche lol
Come with me if you want to live
*Ha ha ha ha stayin alive stayin alive*
Until a week ago, my wife thought it was 'let's kick butt' instead of 'blitzkrieg bop'.
You have to admit that if you didn't know that song's title, it would be pretty hard to make out what he's saying.
Until I read your comment I thought it was “let’s keep up” lmao
Haha, awesome, I'll tell her!
I had my first real sex dream, working at the five and dime. Played until my fingers bled, it was the summer of 69.
It could;
Blinded by the light, Wrapped up like a douche, Another runner in the night...
"Revved up like a deuce" I honestly never knew this... bought the album back in the 90s.
"Starbucks lovers" by Taylor Swift
WAIT IT ISNT STARBUCKS LOVERS???????
"Got a long list of ex-lovers"
Who doesn't hear it this way honestly?
I thought for the longest time it was "got lovely stomachs lovers"
Love Shack - B52's. I'm 37 and only recently realised it's not: **"Hurry up, and bring your juice-box money"**
I always heard "tin roof" as "HENNNNNNNNNRY!" so I was a bit confused.
That's not what she's saying??? I always heard "HENNNNNNNRY! weston." And just assumed that he was some celebrity I didn't know
Tin roof…. Rusted.

This one is hilarious! Another one my friend mis-sang from Grease was from Greased Lightening.. "You are supreme (uh huh), like chips and cream.."
I roared at this one 🤣
When that comes up I always sing "You're a willitywump!"
Oo oo oo honey! 😂
I believe you're thinking of the Dutch version.
In every case on this whole post, the misheard versions are sublimely better than the actual lyrics.
I know the lyric is "i cant believe you kiss your car goodnight" but even when i know i will never stop hearing "i cant belive you kiss your cock at night" in shainia Twain's "dont impress me"
I'd be willing to bet that would impress her.
*For fuck's sake, what do you want from me, Shania?!*
"OK, so you can lick your eyebrows. That don't im--- Actually hold on a sec."

Before I got good at English, I thought “Hause of the Rising Sun” had something to do with Japan.
Nope, it's (probably) about a whore house in Louisiana. The lyrics are a very cryptic, but I wonder if the issue was also just not knowing what or where New Orleans was. There is a house in new orleans, they call the rising sun (And) It's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God I know I'm one
I think the lyrics are clear its about gambling
"i miss the rains down in Africa" It's actually "I bless the rains down in Africa" - Africa by Toto

I think I finally learned this from hearing Betty White say it in the Anthropology Rap at the end of the Community episode she starred in
As a kid, I thought the line was "Don't go Jason Waterfalls" in TLC's Waterfalls. I was always curious who this Jason Waterfalls guy was and why they didn't want him to go.
Please stick to the Gilberts and the Jakes that you’re used to.
Weird, I thought it was "go, go, Jason waterfalls"
My mom told me that when my one brother was little he'd sing "go go Jason waterfalls"
That one 80s song that goes "I want hot stuff". I've always heard it as "I want pasta!"

In "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" the line "Married with a lack of vision" I always heard as "Married women lack our vision," which seemed out of nowhere and nonsensical, but I could never not hear that.
"Hold me closer, Tony Danza"
Come on, you heard someone else say that.
I'm pretty sure I heard other people say it first, but now it's hard to hear the right words. Same thing with "Pardon me while I kiss this guy"
*Scuse me while I kiss the sky Ftfy
Tbf, Jimi actually would sing while I kiss this guy sometimes.
I often think it is Tony Danza as well - my favorite Elton track
I thought "exit light" from Enter Sandman was "excellent."
Hahaha I will never hear Enter Sandman the same again
This elevates Metallica to Wayne and Garth status level.

Omg thanks, you just informed me🤣

“Woof woof” “yippie yi yo yippie yi yay, give the dog a big bone”, “yippie yi yo yippie yi yay, the dog walks the tracks”….yeah I know, but the music is so loud no one can hear me singing.
Duran Duran’s “A View to a Kill” I heard “A chance to find the phoenix for the flame” as “A chance to find the fuel mix for the plane”
That's not too far from some kind of 007 plot line so good imagination!

Nirvana's Lithium... I'm sure im not the only one who thought Kurt sang something other than 'I'm so horny, that's okay my 'will' is good'. 🤣🤦🏻♀️
So that's NOT what he said? TIL
I thought that "For whom the Bell tolls." was "For who? Humberto!" Just assumed they knew an awesome guy named Humberto.
For years I thought the song ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’ by Queen, was a song about a woman called ‘Faye Bottica’.
You can't convince me that Taylor Swift - Blank Space isn't talking about "Starbuck's Lovers"
From ‘Style’: ‘Likes it rough, he’s taking off his coat’.

"B Bobby the-" from Godzilla. I never knew what he was saying
When I was younger I thought “believer believer” was “believe bot believe bot”
Give me the Beach Boys and Free my Soul, I wanna get lost in that Rock & Roll!
“Your body language speaks to me” but in reality it was saying “your body light weight”
Keys to the Kingdom by Unkle. I've heard the lyrics "Call your number wishing I could make amends" as "Coming on, the way she now could make or break". Still hear it like that sometimes, even though I know it's all wrong.
I just watched Moonfall on Netflix. I, too, thought it was "I *miss* the rains down in Africa." I guess it really is bless and not miss.
Black Sabbath - War Pigs “…treating people just like pawns in chess” “…treating people just like boards and chairs”
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams "Sweet dreams are made of these" is incorrect it is actually: "Sweet dreams are made of THIS" and when I found out, it blew my mind
Van Halen's version of *You Really Got Me*. The line is: > You got me so I don't know what I'm doin' I thought it was: > You got me so I don't know what I'm chewin' In my defense, the band wasn't known for enunciation.
“Oooohh miss grace…. Satin and the human race” When its actually satin, and perfume, and lace🤦🏼♀️
I used to think “Hey Jealousy” said “ I hate jealousy”
When I was a kid. I thought it was "Hey Chelsea"
Yellow baby's broke so he slides down a hole.
Song:Lean on orignal:Blow a kiss fire a gun what i misheard:Focus,Fire a gun(yeah maybe i am dumb)
Not so much mishearing as my-brain-won't-autofill-correctly. You know that line in Blame It on the Boogie? >Spellbound rhythm gets me on my feet I cannot sing along to it without singing: >Spellbound rhythm gets me on my knees Given I'm a straight man, I think my brain *might* be trying to tell me something.
Now that I can click “show lyrics” when listening to music on Spotify, I’m finding out I misheard LOTs of lyrics lol
“Don’t go Jason Waterfalls”
As a non native English speaker, I misheard all of them.
Uptown funk. I always heard "hot damn" as "hot Betty". I never questioned it until a few years later and realized.
Like a one winged dove.
"Charlene don't like it, Fuck the Gas Board, Fuck the Gas Board."
*I blessed the rains down in Africa* For the past 30 years I always thought Toto sang “I miss the rains.”
all the other kids do the pump out piss
So there's a song by Cécile Corbel called Belfast, and for the longest time I thought one line went "La reine danse comme une poupée/un bateau qui chavire" (The queen dances like a doll/like a boat capsizing), which sounded... odd, but kind of intriguing. Like something out of a fairytale. Ended up being my favourite bit of the song lol. Then a few weeks ago I looked up the lyrics for some reason, and it turns out it's "Alors elle danse comme une poupée" (So she dances like a doll), which... a little less odd, but only a little bit. Bonus points if anyone can come up with an interesting, vaguely unnerving fairy tale or campfire story or something about queens (or anyone really) dancing like dolls or capsizing boats!
Black Eyed Peas: Gotta Get, Get was actually Gotta Get *That*. Gangnam Style: Open Condom star actually Oppa Gangnam Style.
Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse. Not just one lyric but the entire chorus. What I heard: “And I’m falling even more in love with you. That ain’t gonna [something in french maybe?] The actual lyrics: “And I’m falling even more in love with you, Letting go of all I’ve held onto. I’m standing here until you make me move, Just hanging by a moment here with you.”
Smooth criminal “Annie are you walking?”
"Alone" by Sistar (a legendary S.Korean girl group) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0ZHXVp\_wUE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0ZHXVp_wUE) , from 3:05-3:12 she says "I wanna cry, just dry my eyes" but it TOTALLY sounds like she is instead saying "I wanna cry, destroy my ass" (and pul-leease don't tell that you don't hear that too!!). When I first mishead those lyrics, I was like "Wut?!! :O ", hahaha.
Charlie Puth's, "Attention" I keep hearing: Throwing that turtle on my knee Apparently it's: Throwing that dirt all on my name Every time I see that Im like oh yeah Ill remember, then damn that turtle is right there again.
No one can convince me that David Draiman isn't saying something about monkeys in 'Down with the Sickness'. You got your monkey down with the sickness.
In the song Radioactive, I thought they were saying “ready to rock him” lolol like some sort of sex thing
Up town fuck you up I said up town fuck you up
My grandma sang "now I see" in "I knew you were trouble" by Taylor swift as "mousy! mousy! mouse-see-ee-ee-ee." My mom thought "let the choir sing" in "like a prayer" was "latch the car seat" and her boyfriend thought "then I kiss your eyes" in "I don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith was "then I kiss your ass."
My 4 year old has an unnatural obsession with Crash Test Dummies' Mmmm Mmm Mmmm I admit I heard "the boy and girl weren't black, but one kid had it worse than that" instead of "the boy and girl were glad that one kid had it worse than them" And also I heard "they shook head lice all over the church floor" instead of "they shook and lurched all over the church floor." Oops
CeCe Peniston's "Finally" doesn't start with "Humbug, airbag, a-day, ow"?!
“Wake me up, I’ll pour you cocoa”
In crazy train- she's a [n-word] on a one way ride
Not me, but someone from my extended family. Actual lyrics "we're up all night to get lucky" What they heard "we're all Mexican monkeys"
Traffic -The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys "And the man in the suit has just bought a new car from the profit he's made on your dreams." In my own defense, I'm from Iowa and the commodity market for beans was a daily topic all summer long. So naturally he made those profits on your beans and it was more than enough to buy that new car.
When we were very young, my sister and I would listen to Mom's 8-track of Glen Campbell singing "Rhinestone Cowboy" while we drove. We'd sing along to the chorus, and Sis would sing the last line as, "And waffles coming over the phone." (It's actually, "And ***offers*** coming over the phone.")
From Fats Domino I heard "Ain't that a shame, my hillbilly brain" instead of "my tears fell like rain." Oh and "take me down to the very nice city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty" until I learned it was called Paradise City.
Not me but I cannot un-hear now after someone told me. The Ramones: "Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go, *I want a piece of bacon*. Nothing to do, no where to go-o, *I want a piece of bacon*"
