    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

    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"

      Don't go, Jason waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.

          I always heard it as trombeleese, which I imagined to be some exotic musical instrument like this:

            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.

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

              If anybody remembers this from Del Amitri: https://youtu.be/K_s44LilaYM

              I always heard "The wrong guy, the wrong situation.
              The right time the wrong week.

                  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 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”.

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

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

                              Turns out is actually deuce.

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

                                    But, there's so few lyrics in that song, and they say it repeatedly. When I first learned they say lovin' and not love, all I could think was the McLovin from Superbad. I'm mclovin youuuu....

                                          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

                                          We like to joke about non Spanish lyrics that sounds like Spanish. I love Apolocatv channel for that and 🐱 costumes.
