    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

    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.

      I used to sing Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong as “Pyramids, pyramids, pyramids, pyramids can’t be wrong”.

      Also, in Africa, I definitely thought they said “rises like a lepress (like a female leopard) above the Serengeti”. The real lyric is “Olympus”.

            It wasn't until my first job at a grocery store during Christmas time that I learned it was "Feliz Navidad" being sung.

            Before that, I couldn't figure out why the cheerful song that only appeared around Christmas time was saying "Police shot my dad"

                    Speaking of blinding, my honey used to think a different song went "she blinded me with oven mitts, it opened up my eyes"

                          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".

                                    That's not really a fair song to enter in a misheard lyrics thread.

                                      “Blinded by the light.

                                      Revved up like a douche, another runner in the night.”

                                      Turns out is actually deuce.

                                        “Blinded by the light.

                                        Revved up like a douche, another runner in the night.”

                                        Turns out is actually deuce.

                                        That actually makes even less sense.

                                          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

                                          Have a listen: https://song.link/t/70681623

                                          Instead of the Go Go's saying "Our lips are sealed" I thought they were saying "Honest, Lucille."
