    So I just figured out that the song "Penny Lane" by the Beatles starts "In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs", not, as I have been singing it for the past... well, forever... "And he laid there..."

    So! What's the funniest way you've ever misheard lyrics to a song for ages? Or completely misinterpreted the actual lyrics?

    I hope I'm not the only person spazzy enough to actually have something to post here!

    The song "Smack My Bitch Up"
    I thought it was saying "Take My Picture."
    When someone told me the actual lyric my response was:
    "Well that isn't nice at ALL!"

    There's a part in a Chiodos song, I think it's No Hardcore Dancing in the Living Room, where the guy screams, and all I hear is:

    Riff-raff.... and CINNAMON ROLLS!

    It's pleasant. But knowing Chiodos's random lyrics, I wouldn't put it behind them completely. :slight_smile:

    Well, my bad German always makes for hillarious Rammstein translations:

    My translation of a part of 'Mein Herz Brennt'

    No love children, Kein Liebe kinder,
    Go for eight, Geht Für acht,
    I am the right, Ich bin der stimmen,
    On the cheese... Auf dem Käse...

    Actual lyrics

    Nun Liebe Kinder, Now dear children,
    Gebt fein acht, Pay attention,
    Ich bin die Stimme, I am the voice,
    Aus dem Kissen... Under your pillow...

    Hehe...

    In English songs, the funniest one I can think if is th line 'You're a solid gold digger' in Backstabber by The Kooks, but the line sounds more like 'You're a psycho nigger'.

    Oh yeah, all of smells like teen spirit.

    Those lonely starbucks lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane. But, I've got a blank space baby and I'll right your name.

    Yeah...I thought that's how it went.

    Knew someone in college who always heard "Werewolves of London" as "Werewolves Abundant" LOL

    Trying to think of any of my own mis-hearings that are worth relating.

    In the song "Waiting So Long" by the Silver Fins, the audio is kind of fuzzy so I always heard the lyrics very, very, wrong.

    For instance:
    "Looking back and morning comes, don't find your face in the grass"
    or:
    "Take the moonlight by the tail, in any case you're shedding"
    or even:
    "I spat in my grass, walkin' back so in my grass you're fading"

    Then I realized that that was stupid and looked the lyrics up.
