Misheard lyrics

Post your silly mistakes here.

In BaBa, by Alanis Morrisette she sings Ave Maria. Before I read the lyrics, I thought she was saying "Always the media".

"I'd rather be in hell with the babies and in cool heaven..." -Sananda

should be: " I'd rather be in hell with you baby than in cool heaven"


(does anyone else see where VH may have gotten the inspiration for Down Here In Hell?)

My ex-wife thought the lyrics to "Gett Off" said "something 'bout a litterbox with a mirror and a tongue inside". When she questioned me about it, I friggin' laughed for an hour!!!

"Good Times.
Any time you meet a payment.
Good Times.
Any time you need a friend.
Good Times.
Any time you're out from under.

Not getting hastled, not getting hustled.
Keepin' your head above water,
Making a wave when you can.

Temporary lay offs.
Good Times.
Easy credit rip offs.
Good Times.
Scratchin' and surviving.
Good Times.
Hangin in a chow line
Good Times.
Ain't we lucky we got 'em
Good Times."


I always thought this line was "Hangin'-n-a-jivin'" then I thought it was "Hangin' in a jirey" until I realized that there is no such thing as a "jirey," but then again, I've never heard of a "chow line" either. confuse

this is probably more for the German speaking peeps around, but back in the days in Michael Jackson's "Wanna be Startin' Something" it goes like
"Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa
Ma ma se, ma ma sa,
Ma ma coo sa"


and in every second line of this endless repeating Ad-Lib I could swear he sings
"Ma ma se, ma ma sa Tomatensaft"

(F.Y.I. Tomatensaft = tomato juice)


and I still can hear it today! if U speak German go and check yo self! lol

How Deep Is Your Love by The Bee Gees. They sang "Then you come to me on a summer breeze". As a kid, I used to think they were singing "Then you come to me on a submarine".

From WAR's Cisco Kid " Eats the salty penis out the hand" is what I hear with that ghetto drawl. I know that it should be " eats the salty peanuts out the can".

oh my lawd now that is tooo funny falloff

the one that always gets me is in uptown when he's talking about a girl through the whole song and then he says "she even made love to me ahhh best head I ever had" I have debated for HOURS with people who think he says "he" when it just does not make sense in the context of things.

Oh my gosh, i love this topic. Okay, I usually screw up lyrics by Tori Amos:

Caught a Lite Sneeze:
Excuse me, y ya fumbling is actually "Bulding tumbling"
Mr. Saint John bring your gun is actually "Mr. Saint John just bring your son"
Violent hearts and the soul stills bleed is actually "The spire is hot and my cells can't feed"


Cruel:
Why can't my (mumble) balloon in celibant friendly skies is actually "Why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in perfectly windy sky"

Horses:
Got me some tortouse to ride on, to climb on is actually "Got me some horses to ride on, to ride on"

I remember there being a site dedicated to this subject, and folks could send in their own mis-heard lyrics. My favorite was a girl who thought the Everclear song "Santa Monica" said "we can live beside the ocean, beneath your big behind" (the actual line is "leave the fires behind")
