Obviously, the most common misunderstood lyric is from "Blinded by the Light"-Manfred Mann. Blinded by the Light - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Other one for me would be Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" which I thought was "Snap My Picture". The song's beat also made me really horny.:icon_redf Yes, certain techno just makes me horny. The song came out when I was 14, so that didn't hurt. Obviously, once I found out about the true lyrics, I was crushed at how violent it was towards women. :icon_redf
I'm sure there have been many throughout the years, but from the top of my head the only one I can remember now is Taylor Swift's Blank Space, I always thought it was "Got a list of Starbucks lovers" when it actually is "Got a long list of ex lovers" :lol: And I only realized I understood it wrong when Taylor herself podted about this, otherwise I'd probably think it was still right. And I know that The Saturdays would change the lyrics to their song Issues when singing live because people thought it went "Can't decide if I should stab you or kiss you" when it was actually "Can't decide if I should slap you or kiss you".
Sad but True by Metallica. I always hear it as "scent patrol". Don't ask, I'm not sure why I just do. Also, Cannibal by Ke$ha. I don't think that one needs explaining.
Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" my mom played a lot when I was younger. The line I misheard as "goin' down on the old man, with a transistor radio" doesn't quite make sense. The real line, of course, is "goin' down the old mine, with the transistor radio" And there's a bunch more but I can't remember them right now.
On "Nothin' but a G thang" What I thought it was: "And who gives a fuck about Bones, so just chill the to the next episode" Which confused the hell out of me cause I knew Bones was a tv show but when I looked it up it said the show started in 2005 while the song came out in 1992. What the lyric really was: "And who gives a fuck about those, so just chill to the The Next Episode"
The most hilarious one I remember is my dad telling me about the Steve Miller line "Big Ol' Jet Airliner" being misheard by him and his friends as "Pink hotel [with the] light on." Once he said it, I hear it! The "with the" part might all be garbled together but it would totally work.
The only one I can think of right now is apologise. I would always sing "I said it's too late to call the giant! It's too late". I blame my dad for reading the BFG (big friendly giant) to me and singing that song.
One song that I remember mishearing is AC/DC Highway to Hell The actual lyric is "Living easy, loving free Season ticket on a one-way ride." I misheard it as "She's a n***er on a one way ride."
This is not my misheard lyrics, although I keep mishearing them after seeing this video. It never fails to make me laugh out loud. :lol: [YOUTUBE]cIdcHkMCzQw[/YOUTUBE]

INFINITE - Destiny Misheard: Suckin' on my toe nail Actual lyrics: "속에 남아 도네" SNSD - I Got A Boy Misheard: I got a boy on my chin Actual lyrics: "I got a boy 멋진" BIG BANG - Bae Bae Misheard: n****r Actual lyrics: "네게" There's also the word "내가" which sounds like the n-word. And like ms24601 mentioned... Taylor Swift and her Starbucks lovers. :lol:
The worst one I can remember (mainly since it's a rather famous song) was when a guy called in to one of my local radio stations and requested the song "Slow Walking Walter" the DJ had no idea what song he was talking about so he had the guy sing a couple lines. The lines the guy came up with were " Slow walking Walter. The fire engine guy". The DJ broke down laughing when he realized the guy wanted Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. It became a running joke for a few weeks.
