So we have a misheard lyrics for Ev songs. But I know there are lyrics from other bands that you all have misheard at some point. :)

One of mine is this one...
1.19 - Lacuna Coil.
What I hear: Ray of fire of knowing as a condrum in your ass
Wonderful down.
Real lyrics: Ray of light annoying as a cold breath in the eyes
Water falls down

So what are yours?

Senses Fail "Bite To Break Skin"

Real Version: "I am the son/So follow my footsteps"

My Version: "Right by your side/swallow my buttsex"

Well, since I'm one of the "old ladies" of the board (haha) this is an older song... but...

I remember growing up when Boy George was popular, my friend used to think "I'll Tumble For Ya" was "I'll Tell Your Lawyer". LMAO.

Senses Fail "Bite To Break Skin"

Real Version: "I am the son/So follow my footsteps"

My Version: "Right by your side/swallow my buttsex"

Haha liked this one. :D It's wicked..
And what a kicking-ass cool thread. :D


I always used to hear it as "I'm walking with my Louis Vuitton" (the handbags), when I heard "I walk in with my own resolve" in 'When darkness falls' by Killswitch Engage.

Haha, yea it's so lame. :p

My favorite one so far has got to be from Darren Hayes - Strange Relationship.

What I hear: Break free of these monkeys.
Real lyrics: Break free of these mindgames.

I've actually heard it that way so many times, I tend to catch myself singing along with the misheard lyrics almost every time. :rolleyes:

I'm also one of those people that hears: "I have woken now to fuck myself" in Evanescence's Away From Me...*nods* (although only once, at about 2:54 minutes into the song, not every time they sing the line "I've woken now to find myself").
I'm not good at hearing overlapped vocals clearly.

in a Flyleaf song called "Breathe Today" For the longest time I thought it was

"the empty shang bay you" and it really was

"the empty shape in you"

I don't think shang is a word. There's my minds logic for you.

ok lame i know but way back when i was a youngen i liked the spice girls and always confused the lyrics in "stop"

real version: i need somebody with a human touch

my version: I need somebody with a hume and a touch

Some funny AFI ones...

AFI's, "Dancing Through Sunday"
Misheard Lyrics:
Oh, we dance in misery
I'm an asshole! I'm an asshole!
Original Lyrics:
oh, we dance in misery
And we dance on, and we dance on.
(Understandable, but still. HAHA.)

AFI's, "Girl's Not Grey"
Misheard Lyrics:
I need sexing tonight
Fuck all the sound.
Original Lyrics:
All insects sing tonight
The coldest sound.
(*giggles*)

AFI's, "Red Hat"
Misheard Lyrics:
I'mmmmm a duck!!!
Original Lyrics:
Why must I?
(Huh?)

AFI's, "Silver & Cold"
Misheard Lyrics:
Justin Timberlake
Original Lyrics:
Your sins into me.
(OMGWTF XD)

AFI's, "Silver and Cold"
Misheard Lyrics:
Golden Nostril.
Original Lyrics:
Cold in life's throw.
(XD!!)

Song 2 by Blur

My Version- I got my head shaved
Real Version- I got my head checked
-Jessica

Here's a couple of mine from REM

Song = Catapult
Right lyric = "catapult!"
What it sound like = "cat food!"

Song = End of the World as We Know It
Right lyric = "Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop."
What it sounds like = "team my team reporters, grab a trunk, Captain Crunch"

this one isn't that funny, but...
Flyleaf - Cassie

wrong= do you believe in God, wouldn't elaborate
right= do you believe in God, written on the bullet.

and :
Evanescence - Solitude
wrong=ooh, solid soup, forever me and forever you
right= ooh, solitude, forever me and forever you.
yeah, I knew the song was named Solitude, but for the first time hearing it, it sounded like "solid soup." lol

Lacuna Coil- "Heaven's a Lie"

real lyric: destiny of a lie

what i heard: destiny is a lie

12 Stones- "The Way I Feel"

real lyric: Cause I hate the way I feel tonite

what I heard: Cause I hate the way I feels a lie

Yeah I'm not sure how i heard the second one...but I have issues!!! -amy f.

I used to mishear a part in the U2 song 'Beautiful day'.
In my ears "It’s a beautiful day, don’t let it get away" sounded as
"It's a beautiful day, don't lick it away".

Okay, the real lyrics are: Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba
Sithi uhm ingonyama

But if you listen, you can seriously convince yourself they're saying "Pink Pajamas, Penguins on the bottom."

And this will also serve as my "Hi, I'm new here and I'm a dork" post.

this one isn't that funny, but...
Flyleaf - Cassie

wrong= do you believe in God, wouldn't elaborate
right= do you believe in God, written on the bullet.


Mine from the same song when I first heard it....

right - The answer yes would make it

wrong - The answer yes swim naked

This really isn't funny either since I knew what the song was about (very serious) and I couldn't figure out what skinny dipping had to do with it, but that's what I kept hearing. :o

Bob

I forgot to post this a while back...

Real lyrics:
There's a tune that plays
It's a sacred sound
It's a symphony I hear whenever you're around

What I hear:
There's a tuna plays
It's a sacred sound
It's a symphony I hear whenever you're around

From Darren Hayes' I Can't Ever Get Enough Of You. *nods*

Song: Say My Name- Destiny's Child
Original: Say My Name, Say My Name

What Dad sings: Lemonade, Lemonade

I was reading all these messed up posts :rolleyes: , then I answered the phone...

my aunt: can I talk to your mom?
me: sure
her: thanks
me (thinking of messed up lyrics, tries to say both 'no problem' and 'you're welcome' at the same time): no're prelcome.

I'm such an idiot. :o

And Angie thought the lyrics to "Miss Murder" included the phrase "Hey dude it's AFI". They don't need the shameless self-promotion anymore!

To the song "Tourniquet".

'I lay dying and I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal...' Those are the real lyrics as we all know. But I thought Amy at first was saying: 'I lay dying and I'm pourning crimson regret and beach mail'.

Points to Ice Blue Fire for that, lol...

For me, i was listening to a Kelly Clarkson song "Where is Your Heart" casually, and i was completely thrown off why in the world the lyrics went "i a"love would be everlasting like a pedophile into the ground

When in fact, i eventually caught on that it was "like a petal falling to the
ground a dream will follow..."

Green Day's "Holiday".

My initial version: "I'd like to cream and dip their problems in dry ice. This is the dawning of the last of our lives."

Real version: "I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies. This is the dawning of the rest of our lives."

This is obviously a joke, but I haven't laughed this hard in some time.

What I heard the first time: It's like a 40-foot retard holds our heart
What I convinced myself it was: It's like a 40-foot reaper holds our hearts

Actual lyric: It's not our fault if the reaper holds our hearts

Nelly Furtardo maneater, first time i heard it i thought it said:
