post your misheard song lyrics
the other day one of my friends said he always thought “bullet with butterfly wings” by smashing pumpkins went like this in the chorus
real lyrics: despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
misheard: despite all my rage i am still just a rat eating cake
and some AC/DC from a book my dad gave me along time ago
AC/DC-Dirty Deeds
real lyrics: dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap
misheard: thirty thieves and the thunder chief
Wrong:
As he saw his life run away from him
Thousands ran along
Chanting words from a song.
Right:
As he saw his life run away from him
Thousands ran along
Chanting words from a psalm
Kind of like rainbows and lots of spaghetti
Cadillac rainbows and lots of spaghetti
Really…Phish have never released this on a c.d. with any lyrics typed out, so who’s to say for sure?
agams agams agams
Yeah, I always thought it was “song” myself.
I would say that about 50% of the lyrics to Llama are misheard lyrics to me. Misheard meaning I can’t hardly understand what he’s talking about.
Misheard:
Trigger blast past ramshackle lazer seas I start to run
Real:
Trigger a blastoplast, ramshackle laker recedes I start to run. 
Halley’s Coment - Even Carl Sagan can’t shine my shoes
cause I know deep inside it’s got some mighty fine jews
and,
Twist - I smoked an eighth for many days
cat scratched T-bird
Way down yonder on the Chatahoochie, it gets hotter than a hoochie coochie - oops, I guess those are the actual lyrics.
Hold me closer Tony Danza
'scuse me, while I kiss this guy
revved up like a douche, another runner in the night
red-eye love
As a kid, I thought the words to CCR’s Bad Moon Rising were:
“Don’t come around tonight; it’s bound to take your life.
There’s a bathroom on the right.”
Give me the Beach Boys & free my soul.
Sugar Magnolia:
Actual lyrics:
She’s got everything delightful, she’s got everything I need, takes the wheel when I’m seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed…
Sean’s lyrics:
She’s got everything delightful, she’s got everything I need, takes the wheel when I’m seeing double, bakes my chicken, when I sleep.
i think i like that better than the original!
Lovelight
Cause she’s got fox black diddies
gravediggin all my life
lurkin undercover with them blow hole eyes
I don’t speak Pig.
My boyfriend in 9th grade thought PJ’s song “Better Man” said “Butter Man”. In his defense Eddie sounds like he has marbles in his mouth when he sings. I still have no idea what he’s saying through most of “Yellow Ledbetter” or “Evenflow”.
ok so looking on some lyric sites i found another misheard song lyric.
third eye blind - graduate
misheard - echo fading we can’t let go sea gulls walking by in slo-mo
real lyrics - she goes walking by in slo-mo
that really sucks, i always liked the sea gull lyric 
because of their danish accents, in that Junior Senior song “Move Your Feet” in the chorus where they sing:
“move your feet and feel united”
i wasn’t sure what they were saying for sure, so i would just sing along:
“move your feet ah ee ooh eye deh”
oh and in case anyone forgot what a fantastic video it was…

I wanna rock and roll all night and part of every day
“I’m On Fire” by Van Halen, from their debut … the lyrics, turns out, actually say, “I’m hanging ten now baby/as I ride your sonic wave” … without a lyric sheet for years and years, I always heard “Now I’m eating Tender Vittles/Dance all your life Woonsocket”. [ < Which is the nearest city to me.]
my misheard lyric:
When Quinn the Eskimo gets here everybody’s gonna want to dose.
Strange, it seemed so fitting.
Ha! I had to look this one up as I ALWAYS sing this.
Before I knew Loving Cup was a Stones song, I thought they sang “Viva-anotha-Trey!” (instead of gimme another drink) Obviously the following line had no impact on me singing this, nor did I question what it meant.
