    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

    Kings of Leon, Use Somebody. I always thought that he said "You know I wanna eat somebody. Someone like you!"

      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".

                  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"

                    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.

                          “Blinded by the light.

                          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....

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