JCC Misheard Lyrics

“Every breath You Take“ by The Police

the line “How my poor heart aches”

what I heard for my entire life until this morning:

“I’m a pool hall ace”



58 seconds in. He’s a pool hall ace!

I know you’ve misheard lyrics, let’s have them.

 

At 2:55 of the song ON by BTS is a beautiful bridge. The lyrics mean, in English:

Where my pain lies
Let me take a breath



But because that part's in Korean, and the rest is in English, Army are convinced the line in English sounds like

Michael told me in the closet
I got some chicken, I'm so sad

 

Peter Kay:

My heart will go on = the hot dogs go on

 

Mondegreens? An old girlfriend of mine used to sing "she's got Betty Davis' thighs", instead of "...Betty Davis' eyes", and now that's all I hear when I encounter the Kim Carnes classic.

 

For the longest time I thought the lyrics to David Bowie’s Space Oddity went “kill the Pope, kill him dead, get a gun, get a gun, save the world, Major Tom, and kill the Pope!”

 

I used to think the lyrics to Careless Whisper were,

I'm never gonna dance again / can't you see I've got no rhythm

Which makes a lot more sense to me than the original lyrics.

 

Patti Smyth's The Warrior.
Heart to heart you'll win if you survive
I always though she said "hearts are what you'll win if you survive."

 

The Temptations

Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left me was a loan

 

Your Spanish lull abides

 

Suffragette City. Actual lyrics:
“Oh don't lean on me man
'Cause you ain't got time to check it”

I always heard that last line as “She ate my Chinese chicken.”

 

Bohemian Rhapsody. For years, I thought they sang:

"Beelzebub has a devil for a sideboard me"

 

Meatloaf, Paradise By the Dashboard Light

Rollin' in the middle like the edge of the night (I never could make any sense out of that line)

Actually...

Glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife (Which somehow makes more sense...?)

 

i never wanna hear you say "aye! one tit that way"

 

Hot dog , jumping frog, I love cookies .

(I'd never heard of Albuquerque. )

 

Tori Amos Professional Widow (it's gotta be big)
When I heard this on the radio I couldn't believe they got away with it, this is the lyric:

, it's gotta be big, it's gotta be big
Honey bring it close to my
Honey bring it close to my lips, yeah

but this is what I heard

Honey bring it close to my lips,
honey bring it close to my lips
He's got a big ****
he's got a big ****

and I still think that's what she's singing!

For decades my mother thought the opwning line in the Rolling Stone's "Paint it Black" was "I see a Renoir and I want to paint it black" instead of "I see a red door"
