    It's only been a few months since the last comment, so hopefully it's okay to bump this...
    I remember a high school acquaintance thinking that the Metallica song "Ain't my B!*%#" was saying "It ate my b!*%#."

    Edit: Whoops, looking back at past pages in this thread, it looks like I already mentioned this one. :alienblush: Carry on.

    I had thought of one a while ago but it's mentioned before too.

    That sounds like a bad Syfy movie.

    Taylor Swift, Antihero:

    "I had a dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money ..."

    What I heard:

    "I had a dream my daughter-in-law keels before the money ..."

    Paul Simon song "you can call me al"

    There is a line in one verse that sounds like he's singing "bone digger bone digger"

    I thought she was saying that my eyes have no hue but the lyrics in the yt description it's really..

    My eyes have no view.. different I used to listen to the album when it came out in 1987.. so all that time I was hearing it wrong..

    You are correct...... I thought I was mishearing the lyrics but it is exactly what he sings.

    For the longest time I thought when he sang "Amen and Hallelujah" he was saying, "Hey I live here,' meaning that he's finally found himself and he's comfortable with his lot in life.

    I used to think the chorus of the Stampeders' "Sweet City Woman" was just nonsense syllables:

    Bomp, see bomp, bomp bomp see bomp bomp
    Bomp, see bomp bomp bomp, bomp bomp.


    Turns out it's actually French for "it's good" repeated multiple times!

    Bon, ci bon, bon bon, ci bon bon
    Bon, ci bon bon bon, bon, bon.

    See the Pyramids along the Nile;
    Watch the sun set on a crocodile ...


    That's how I remembered that 1960s lyric for years!



    (Edit: I think it was "Watch the sun rise ...", though it hardly matters!)

    I never saw the title of the song written out and had only heard it on the radio, etc, but for the last fifty years or so, I thought Paul McCartney was singing 'Jess' instead of 'Jet.' :crazy:

    I always thought the title line was "in Elaine", Elaine being the name of the village. Saw references to "Penny Lane" for years and years (including a record store by that name in Lakewood, WA where I was living) and it still took forever to make the connection.
