What is a song lyric that you misheard completely?
-
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

"Excuse me, while I kiss this guy!" - Jimmi Hendrix

"Dirty deeds, dunder chiefs!"
I always wondered what a dunder chief is.

Michael Scott I guess ?

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.

“Blinded by the light.
Revved up like a douche, another runner in the night.”
Turns out is actually deuce.
I always heard "wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night" and happily sung that in bars.

It's referring to a two-stroke engine.
Generally it's a 2-door car, specifically a 1932 Ford.
-
That's not really a fair song to enter in a misheard lyrics thread.
As bad as Louis, Louis.

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

I used to think the Kiss song went "I wanna rock and roll all night... and part of every day."
I mean, partying every day just results in Slurms McKenzie.

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”.
I love that lyric, it's so supid.
I know that I must do what's right, sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
Mount Olympus (assuming we're talking the one in Greece and not the one on Mars) is like 3,000 feet tall, Kilimanjaro is 7,000 feet tall. Kilimanjaro would put Olympus to shame, except Olympus is whiter than Kilimanjaro.
Also, you can't see Kilimanjaro from the Serengeti. There's a small area where the summit is above the horizon but the air is too hazy.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Even more reason why it should have been a lepress!
Also, if he knows he must do what’s right “as sure as Kilimanjaro rises… above the Serengetil”, and it doesn’t, I guess that means that he must not do what’s right? Or only a little bit, and it’s a bit hazy…
Thanks for the great info!

I think I've read that it was either intentionally written kind of dumb, like it sounds poetic but it's the kind of thing a white guy who has never been to Africa would say.

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

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!
