Question

Help answer this question below.

Have you ever misheard lyrics before? For example, I first thought Dido was singing "I won't poke my eyes out and surrender" instead of "I won't put my arms up and surrender" in her song "White Flag".

    I may have mentioned this once in another post but my nephew kept telling my sister that he liked this song called "Squeeze hold my llama" and he wanted her to find the song on Itunes for him. My sister called me (being the music dictionary that I am) asking if I had ever heard of the song. I told her it was probably a kids song or something from a tv show but she said that he had told her he heard it on the radio riding in the car with his dad...we were both stumped. Weeks later while riding in the car with his parents, he pointed out to them when the song came on that this was the song he wanted...the song was "sweet Home Alabama"

    Simply99 -- Not a fan favorite.

    In the 80s, we were all programmed to think about nukes and the stuff. many songs and stuff had a nuclear theme. For years, 20+ actually, I always thought Scandal was saying "No more tears, you tell me that you love me in a nuclear waste." Just maybe a year ago, the song was playing, and I heard the correct lyrics for the first time. "No more tears, you tell me that you love me when you're looking away." Whenever I sing along, the nuclear waste lyrics are the chosen lyrics -- just more fun.

    I do that all the time! Can't think of anything specific at the moment, but yeah... that's why I love the sites online that write the lyrics. I use them way too much. >.<

    My favorite was transforming 'there's a bad moon on the rise' to 'there's a bathroom on the right.'

    YES! Elton John's songs are the worst, which really sucks because I love to sing a long with them! Everytime I sing my madeup lyrics I feel like an idiot :)

    A frien of mine almost made me fall off the chair laughing when he told me (at age 26) that his whole life he thought "Little Red Corvette" was actually called "Lady in Red Come Back".
