What is a song lyric that you misheard completely?
-
Manfred Mann's cover of Blinded by the Light has entered the chat. Probably the most misheard lyrics in the entire history of modern music.
It's "Revved up like a deuce."
Wait... Manfred Mann's version is a cover? Yep, Blinded by the Light was originally performed Bruce Springsteen.
And the Springsteen version very clearly says deuce which means Manfred Mann had to deliberately change it.

We like to joke about non Spanish lyrics that sounds like Spanish. I love Apolocatv channel for that and
costumes.In yoga, they have us sit in "sucasana" (also known as criss-cross applesauce) and I always t hear it as the polite form of tu casana, and Namaste also sounds like a Spanish word to me, every time. Tu Namaste tambien!

I thought that Controversy by Prince was actually called Electric Pussy. Which, for Prince, actually tracks.

"The finest day, I ever had, was when I learned to cry like a man."It's supposedly "cry on command."

Oh I was singing loudly along with Elton John one day, "Love, I feel it in my hands, I can tell by the things I would do with another maaaan" as I had done every time I heard the song when I suddenly realized that probably wasn't something someone would sing in the 1970s, looked it up and the NAME of the song is Love Lies Bleeding.

For a long time, I thought in the song Inagadadavida, the lyrics went '"doncha know that I love you", but it turns out, they say "l'm lovin' you".

I used to sing Little Miss Canât Be Wrong as âPyramids, pyramids, pyramids, pyramids canât be wrongâ.
Also, in Africa, I definitely thought they said ârises like a lepress (like a female leopard) above the Serengetiâ. The real lyric is âOlympusâ.

Someone like you...That's it. I still can't hear "use" even though I now know it's the name of the song.
