Call Me Maybe / Carly Rae Jepsen
You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still, you're in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
~~Swear to Satan it's real~~ At first sight, and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it
But it's in my way
Yep. Knew it was wrong, but that's what I heard. TIL what the actual lyrics are.
Another Carly Rae one:
Fake Mona Lisa
He was born in Vegas
The way she sings it, it sounds like
It's morning fa**ots
I wanna be your big Suburban.
Bring me a pile of love!
Israelites is a classic.
Me ears are alight.
My wife’s childhood:
“My anus can’t take it I’m addicted to love”.
Robert Palmer.
Mine is when I sing, and I can’t remember what I say, but something like “kissing your neck, back, n’dem titties” to Labrinths Still Don’t Know My Name. Although I’m still fairly certain those lyrics to be correct 👍
One of the earliest websites I remember was like scuse me while I miss this guy dot com and it was people sharing what you're looking for. Check the way back machine
One I heard was "scuse me while I kiss this guy"
Autocorrect on my comment. This is correct.
At first I thought Post Malone was saying “swallow my knife” and not “spoil my night.”
I was driving one day, in the early 1990s, singing along with Elton John, "love I feel it in my hands, I can tell by the things I could do with another man.." as I had since I was a little kid, when I suddenly realized that probably wasn't what he was saying. It still sounds like that is what he is saying.
I see quite a lot of Elton John in these answers, maybe he just didn't enunciate.
Freed from desire - Gala Rizzatto. I always thought it was "My love has got no money, he's got his trumbalyse" and I never knew what a trumbalyse was.
Also Peter Kay did a great bit around misheard lyrics.
"living like a lover with a red iPhone" - Pour some sugar on me, 1987
I was once listening to The Pillows' "I Think I Can" around a friend. Japanese band, lots of their songs are in English but you'd never know through the singer's heavy Japanese accent. He repeats the titular line a lot in the song and my friend thought he was singing "I lick my cunt."
That was 15 years ago and it's still all I hear when I listen to the song.
There's a bathroom on the right.
I can't believe this is 15 years ago. Still hear these in the song today. https://youtu.be/VWqC4KKiVbU
My sister-in-law thought the chorus of Metallica's Battery was "backdoor raid". Now I can't unhear it.
I also thought in Live and Let Die Paul sang, "give an Alabama yell" instead of "give the other feller hell."
Used to listen to this on the youth club juke box as a 10yo!
