I did a search for this and found nothing (keyword: misheard), so... Any really funny song lyrics you've misheard? One time when I was in Starbucks, I heard some guy singing what sounded like... "It's Bill Pratt! Time for destruction... IN HIS CAR!" I dunno who Bill Pratt is, but it was pretty funny. |

Oh, I've got a lot, but I've gotta remember them. However, I remember a long time ago that my mom said she misheard these lyrics.. Everytime you go away, You take a peice of me with you she misheard as Everytime you go away You take a peice of meat with you And my freind thought "Can't fidn the better man" was "Can't find the butter man" |

I completely misheard Panama by Van Halen. And most songs by Nirvana. Ever heard Smells like Nirvana by Weird Al. That pretty much describes Nirvana's lyrics. |

In the TMBG song "Particle Man", I thought "degraded man" was "the greatest man". I also thought that "does the water get him instead" was "does the water get dim instead". Roffle. |

My wife used to hear "If I could find you now, things would get better... We could leave this town and run for mayor..." In Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard. |

Well, in the song "I Feel So" by Box Car Racer... I misheard "So lost, confused, again" as "It's gopher fusion time", which shows that I had been watching too much Invader Zim. And in "Ana Ng" by TMBG, I misheard "To the horn on the phone at the bus depot" as "To the horn on the phone at the busty poe"...which sounds really dirty when you think about it. I also misheard "Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there?" as "Why was the bench still one who had been there?". |

I don't know who sings the song....but do you know "Video Killed the Radio Star"? Well. I used to think that it was saying, "Maybe I'll Kill the Radio Star". |

That'd be "The Buggles" I used to mishear Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love as "Might as well face it, you're a dip dip doo lub" instead of "Might as well face it you're addicted to love". I was, like 5, ok? |

One time, there was this rap where they say "peace treaty" and I thought they were saying "he's greedy" - weird! |

Yeah, there was another song where they say, "getting a thousand more than you could ever send." I thought they were saying "getting a thousand more than you could ever sin" - totally weird! |

Always. There's, like, too many to list. Not very many of them very funny, though. 'Cept, there was this song I've never heard before, and I thought it said "Disco Hell" in the chorus. Upon listening to said chorus again, they definately didn't say "Disco Hell". I did end up writing a song based on that, though. xD |

Just so you know, these things are called Mondergreens. They are named after the misheared lyrics: "They layed him with his country, and laid him on the green" was heard as; "They laid him with his country, and Lady Mondergreen" Don't know the exact lyrics to the first part. *Pulls at collar* |

Your sig reminded me, there was this one rap and I thought I heard them say "getting powned." I looked up the lyrics and they didn't. I don't remember what they really said. |

Ooh! I forgot the funniest one! There's a Peter, Paul, and Mary song that has the line, "'Cause the Pharisees were bettin' that Jesus was a fraud". When I was younger, I always misheard it as, "'Cause the Pharisees were bettin' that Jesus was a frog". I still sing it like that, because I think it's funny. |

Well, you know the song "Cotton Eyed Joe?" Well, the part where he says "If it hadn't been for Cotton Eyed Joe," I misheard that as "Bet I could do Cotton Eyed Joe." Heh. Me and my dirty mind. |

Maybe they got him confused with Jeremiah (who was a good friend of mine). |

I used to think I misheard that song... Turns out, I didn't. Same thing with CCR's Lookin' Out My Backdoor. The lyrics were too strange for me to be hearing them correctly, yet I was. |

For a very very VERY long time, I used to think actual lyrics to Jesus Christ Superstar were.... well. They went as follows: Jesus Christ, superstar Walks like a woman And wears a bra My cassette tape was reaaaaally old and worn out and HONEST TO GOD, that's what it sounded like! Upon seeing it in theatres, I said they were singing it wrong XD ... I WAS YOUNG OKAY. |

I thought (and still think up to today) that at the beginning of System of a Down's song Know that it began with the lead yelling "GOSSAMIER!", like that character from Loony Toons. And from the same album, some of Sugar is hard to understand too. |
