As a kid, and admittedly up until only a few years ago: 'I'm on Fire' - Springsteen. Me (kid): '...sometimes, it's like someone's taken night baby edge of your nose, I've six a six inch belly in the middle of my soul...' Then almost the very next line (kid / adult): 'At night I wait with the sheets open wide and a freight train running through the middle of my hea-ohh-ooooh...' I'm a fuckwit. 'Sheets open wide' is still plausible... http://youtu.be/lrpXArn3hII. 2:20. (Not savvy enough to embed)

Ugly In The Morning posted:I was about to correct you and say it's "checks for free", but nope, turns out it actually is "chicks". Huh. I've been told this and refuse to change my mind on what the lyrics are "Checks for free" fits with the message of the song, while rock stars' chicks are actually quite expensive

I used to think "Stop in the name of love" was about a policeman yelling "Stop in the name of the law!"

Intoluene posted:My sister when she was much, much younger used to sing "I'm your penis" instead of "I'm your venus". Mister Kingdom posted:I heard it as "I'm your fetus". I heard it as "I'm your phoenix." I mean, she mentions fire next, so it only made sense that way in my head.

"Sweet 16" - Feeder. My version: "She's not sad, she's not sad." Actual version: "She's my death, she's my death." I used to hear it on the Gran Tursimo soundtrack when I was seven, and the singer's welsh accent confused me.

The Police: "I'm a pool hall ace/with every step you take." Sung along to that for years before learning it was "How my poor heart aches".

Not having known the title of the song, I always thought The Animal Song by Savage Garden went "I want to live like cannibals", just assuming it was a novelty song.

In "I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw, he says "I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn" but I heard it as "surrounded by an energy crisis."

My wife earnestly seems physically incapable of actually hearing lyrics. There's a Frank Turner song that goes " And all the things that I believed with all my heart when I was young Are just coasters for beers and clean surfaces for drugs" And she was apparently singing that last line as Sausages for drugs for like 3 years. Enter Sandman is "Extra Light:Endo-might". There's a few more but those are probably the best. My own is the middle bit in Battery clearly says " Play Monopoly, just brings misery "

A double misunderstanding: Sting - Fields of Gold. What I heard as a kid: Many years have passed since sauce hollandaise among the fields of Bali What I was later told the lyrics were: Many years have passed since those solemn days among the fields of Bali What the lyrics actually are: Many years have passed since those summer days among the fields of barley

I always heard "My panda hondas don't want nuns unless they got guns, hun" instead of "My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun" on Baby Got Back. To be fair I was 7 or 8 so it made sense to me at the time.

Another one from my apparently deaf wife. Jonathan Coulton's song A Talk With George starts with the words "There's a tall thin man standing in the shadows" Which to her ears was "There's a dolphin man standing in the shadows" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYBwGbCNoUI

Also, the mishearing "Soviet, friend no more" vastly improves the song Don't Tread On Me.

The Offspring - Pretty Fly for a White Guy As heard by very young me: "The world needs one-eyed pizza / hey hey do that brand new thing!" What I grew to hear: "The world needs one-of-these-ah / hey hey do that brand new thing!" What I realized today are the real words: "The world needs wannabees / hey hey do the brand new thing!" ...And when I looked up to confirm this, I've misheard most of this song for 20 years? "You know it's kind of hard just to get "Everything he "Don't "In his own mind, he's the, he's dopest

I used to think Metallica's "Enter Sandman" was about those green exit lights you see above doorways. Though I was hearing that lyric right.
