Fun Misheard Lyrics

Jet by Wings
used to be Jump when I was a child.
In the chorus, they were saying Jump instead of Jet.

 

Michael Jackson and Prince are rap artists

 

The opening theme song line to the Full House is
Whatever happened to predictability? The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV.
I thought "evening TV" was "even MTV".

 

A minor one, but this whole time I thought it was "thunder, thunder, lightning" in Bohemian Rhapsody, when in fact it's "thunderbolts and lightning".

 

Miss Murder by AFI

Hadn't heard it in quite a while and it still sounds like

'Where is my lookalike' not 'Hey Miss Murder, can I?'

 

Chorus:

Chicken Tika you and I naaaah!
When the heart ate salmon, eggs, goat and the stock's velly venn.
You'll be dancing once again like a penguin leg
You will have no time for breeding

 

I definitely feel like I need a syringe of some sort after listening to that song.

 

I always thought Rod Stewart was saying “if you want my money” in “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy”

turns out he was always saying “if you want my body”

 

“Some nights I just pray to the god of sex and drums and rock and roll.”

I heard it as sex and drugs and rock and roll. So did my mom, who made me turn the music down for that phrase. Turns out, it’s a play on the phrase “sex, drugs, and rock and roll.”

So that’s not what meatloaf said, but it’s understandable.

 

I watched The Fall Guy last night, and was reminded of possibly my earliest misheard lyric when I was a kid.

Phil Collins - Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)
----
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain and even Cheryl Tiegs
You're the only one who really knew me at all

 

Hometown Blues - Tom Petty

• What he said: Gotta do a number on the late night show.
• What I heard: Gotta do a number on a late lasso.

Magnolia - Tom Petty

• What he said: From the table across the room...
• What I heard: Rubber tables across the room...

Listen to Her Heart - Tom Petty

• What he said: You think you're gonna take her away with your money and your cocaine...
• What I heard: You think you're gonna take her away with your monkey and your cold cream...

 

Video Killed the Radio Star, by the Buggles. I always wondered why they were singing about "country wine." No, it was "can't rewind."

 

Here Comes My Girl - Tom Petty

• What he said: Watch her walk.
• What I heard: What you want?

 

It's "I'm a dear of a reindeer" instead of "I'm a terrible reindeer"

 

ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man

What Billy Gibbons sang:
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

What I heard:
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a shot glass man

What I pictured in my head while listening to the song:

The song, for reference:

Linkin Park - Shadow of the Day

Sometimes dilutions aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way
