In "Lady Marmalade", it's "Now he's back home, doing 9 to 5", not "Love is on call, doing 9 to 5". I still like my version better.

I have a lot of trouble with the first line in a few songs: AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long They sing: "She was a fast machine" I hear: "She was a fax machine" The Who - Behind Blue Eyes They sing: "No one knows what it's like / to be the bad man" I hear: "No one knows what it's like / to be a cave man" Taylor Swift - 22 She sings: "It feels like the perfect night to dress up like hipsters" I hear: "It feels like the perfect night to dress up like Hitler"

I'll be damned. I thought "The Flame" by Cheap Trick went: "Whenever you need someone to lay your heart in heaven's palms" its actually "Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon." Still think i like my brain's version better.

Busta Rhymes, "This Means War" Actual: Give and you receive Cherish every breath you breathe Heard: Heathen, you receive Cherry cherry, breath you breathe I knew I had to be mishearing because what I was hearing made no sense, but I didn't look it up until I had a shoer epiphany about the second line.

When I was young, I've always heard underground dance remixes sampling the beginning part of Babylon Zoo - Spaceman with the high pitched vocals. For the longest time, I always thought the chorus went: Spaceman I always wanted to be good Why don't you please me? (Give it to me, give it to me, aaaaah!) Actual chorus: Spaceman I always wanted you to go into space, man (Intergalactic Christ) With all the crazy instruments added in these remixes, my young mind somehow managed to put way more syllables in there than originally were. I kind of liked my version better...

So I really loved Smashmouth's song "Walkin' on the Sun" so I thought it was fun when my friend posted some lyrics to it today on Facebook. Until I realized I've been mishearing it all of my life. The actual lyrics are: "It's just like any fad, it retracts before impact." I've ALWAYS heard (and sang) it as: "It's just like getting fat, it retracts before your back." Seriously, I thought it was a cynical line about how trying to lose weight to appease society is hard cause it goes away everywhere but your back...okay so maybe now that I think about it, it doesn't really make sense.

Until I realized I've been mishearing it all of my life. I heard "retracts before impact" but also "getting fat." I also never bothered to actually think about the meaning of the song before this thead, I just always had it in my mental summer/hot day playlist  smashmouth foreverMacy Gray's "Freak Like Me" Apparently I've been really mishearing this one. Actual: Sorry, that I'm late I been searchin' for something great Something to fill me up, he said, "Join the club" Then we made love till my body ached I heard, and because of the way it's enunciated, still hear "Your luck, love" instead of "Join the club," like letting her know she's in luck because he's just the man she's been looking for. Mya's "My Love is Like... Wo" actual line: My main goal is to please ya. heard: My mango is depleted. Frankie Valli, Grease is the Word actual: They think our love is just a broken dream heard: They think our love is just a frozen treat I still sing that version instead of the real words. A love like a popsicle, sweet but sticky and fleeting. My sister when she was a little kid thought in Mr. Sandman the line was "Mr. Sandman- bring me a drink!" thinking that Mr. Sandman was the guy behind the counter in one of those '50's soda shops, and the singer wants him to bring him a drink so he can sit and think about his girl.

I always heard Rozz Williams (of Christian Death fame)'s song "Flowers" like this "Sadness runs course through my veins Puppies wreath, they crown me My heart, my heart And once again, a stem is not a rose Thats how my garden grows Those fields of puppies, they remain" and not "Sadness runs course through my veins Poppies wreath, they crown me My heart, my heart And once again, a stem is not a rose Thats how my garden grows Those fields of poppies, they remain" Whatever Rozz you goth sadsack I wanted a field of puppies

The Go-Go's big hit was "Our Lips Are Sealed," but I still prefer to think of the lyric as "Alex the Seal." I'm sticking to my story that Taylor Swift sings "Got a lonely Starbucks lover." Bob Dylan sang "The ants are my friends, they're blowin' in the wind." And in the Pixies' "Velouria" (later covered by Weezer), they sing "Traveling career / She can really move," but my brother and I convinced ourselves it was "Travel in Korea / Sheep can really moo."

I keep hearing "Goliath crashed to the ground" instead of "the calliope crashes down" in Blinded By the Light by Manfred Mann, but I think my headcanon sounds more epic and way better than the actual lyrics.
