What is a song lyric that you misheard completely?
-
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!
wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah, the su/tú (you) form is easy and tricky to learn: su/vuestro(a)/su mercé are polite forms; tú/vos are informal forms.
Our brains trick us with the easy/most used path to identify patterns and meanings.Sukhasana (from Sanskrit) sounds like a mix of su (Spanish) Casana (from Italian/Trukish)
I think you heard from some novela the phrase: ¿(tú) me amas(te) también?
Good to know that I'm not the one that fights with my brain mixing words in 4-5 languages. -
I heard this song for the first time, and I kept hearing
My lover’s got no money, he’s got his thrombolyse
Turns out it was "strong beliefs", and not a medical term

Owner of a lonely horse...
Real lyric: owner of a lonely heart.
I never understood why there'd be a song about a lonely horse.

"You know I'd like to keep my cheating strategy"
Actual lyrics: "You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today"

I'm here to say that I figured out "stomp on the stoop when you hear the funk loop". It took me 30 years.

That Land Down Under song. I still have no idea what the women or men do but I can hear the thunder.

Also, the technical term is 'Mondegreen'
Edit: I'm also reminded of a Colin Hay one man show I went to years ago where he told a story about a bloke that requested the 'song about the goats' at a gig. Turns out it was Overkill - "Goats appear and fade away". He then went on to tell a long story about a sharehouse he lived in in his youth that decided to get a goat to keep the lawn down. Man that was a good show.

Dwight Yoakam - A Thousand Miles from Nowhere
For a chunk of my childhood, I always heard, "I've got heartaches in my pocket, I've got pickles in my head," rather than "echoes in my head." To this day, it's hard to unhear it.

"Dirty deeds, dunder chiefs!"
I always wondered what a dunder chief is.
You're not alone, kindred spirit! Even when I knew the correct lyrics, I still hear it.
And when I learned about "dunder" or "double underscore" methods in Python, my first thoughts were:
__Chief__()__Mifflin__() -
Generally it's a 2-door car, specifically a 1932 Ford.
Not a motorcycle?!?!
This seemed like such a motorcycle song!

That thing looks like a Fremen sandworm saxophone

That Land Down Under song. I still have no idea what the women or men do but I can hear the thunder.
The women glow, and men plunder!

I still say it makes slightly more sense in Otherside if he's saying "the cemetery where I married a thief".

"Who knows love can endure" --> "Who knows love Ganondorf"
Obviously not the correct lyric but they clearly end "endure" with an F sound somehow
Elton John - Your Song
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in the words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the worldI misheard the "world" as "woods", as in, someplace far away, which changes the entire point of the song. The lyrics in this part starting with "I hope you don't mind that I put down in the words" imply a change of tone to something regretful, so a line to recontextualize that that the PoV character doesn't actually feel close to their supposed love would fit; but I guess that wasn't the intention.

Hoobastank, the Reason.
Real lyric: "a reason to start over new".
What i heard as a child: "the reason tostadas are new"
Great song by the way. Also, great video.

The women glow, and men plunder!
What does it even mean? I mean the "glow" part.

It definitely sounds like it

You know what they say... you never shine if you don't glow

Paradise is the song with the weird elephant music video, right?
I thought it was monkeys

I think it simply means they're pretty, radiant, stunning.
...or have absorbed a crazy amount of radiation
️.Lol but yeah, the song seems to mainly be about the splendor of Australia, its abundance, and warm friendliness to outsiders, as the singer's perspective seems to be.
