Lady Gaga channeling hunger games on the 20th
Misheard Lyrics
- Thread starter Gryffindorian
- Start date
A recent re-watch of Apollo 13 reminded me, when I was younger I misheard Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" as saying "When I die in the name of duress" instead of "When I die and they lay me to rest." Naturally I wondered what on earth that was supposed to mean.

Phillip Bailey and Phil Collins 'Easy Lover'.
Always sang the line as ''She's like the weather', i.e. she blows hot and cold, instead of 'She's like no other'.

OMG I am not the only one to hear that same line.
Another one Arrested Development's song Mr Wendal.
When I first heard the song way back when I thought it said "Mr Window"

^ I love the line "where beer does flow and men chunder".
We all know what chundering means. (Hint:) Is that something to be PROUD of?
The strange part is that he's told that by an Aussie apparently living in Brussels. How can you live in Brussels and think the beer doesn't flow locally?
Anyway, as far as misheard lyrics go, the classic of classics remains:
Unlike most, it's not forced, you can clearly hear the "misheard" lines (except for the title, Tarja obviously sings a "w", not an "f").
I thought Beyoncé's song went:
I'm a cigarette, I'm a cigarette
I'm a cigarette, I'm a cigarette...
(I'm a single lady)
I'm a cigarette, I'm a cigarette
I'm a cigarette, I'm a cigarette...
(I'm a single lady)
I feel a sense of relief here.
Another one I was half unsure of what I was hearing.. It did sound like that
"It Never Rains in Southern California" just played on the radio, and I kept wondering why they kept randomly mentioning menopause.
The Corrs song Baby Be Brave
The actual first two lines of the chorus
Maybe deep down inside, you don't believe it
Your wailing wall, it isn't weeping at all
That second line I hear "your alien war is weeping"

Elton John's Rocket Man
That line in the song I always here
"Rocket man burning down the fuse forever more"

I heard, "Do it like a lady!"
This song doesn't need misheard lyrics.. It's full of parts you can just babble.
There was that line in the Jeffersons theme which goes "As long as we live, it's you and me baby, there ain't nothin' wrong with that". At first I thought it was "As long as we live, you're chewin' me baby".
Watching last week's Fear the Walking dead, an alcoholic character had the following song on replay in his head.
There is a line I always thought went, "Well I got down on my knees and I began to pray."
The subtites revealed the line is, "Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray."

^ It has been scientifically proven, through rigorous testing, that the Beach Boys' version is superior.
As for "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)"...I wonder, does Aerosmith even still perform that song live? In this day and age, a song like that...
