Mine was for the Beatles' "Paperback Writer." For the longest time (seriously, until I was in college), I thought the lyric was "Take a back right turn" instead of "Paperback Writer." I was so embarrassed when I found out the real lyric.

Another one is "What Becomes of the Broken-hearted." With the lyric, "Who had love that's now departed," my brother and I think the singer said "farted" (we were in elementary school, in our defense). My dad would sing the song with our version, which would make us collapse with giggles.

To the people of "KissThisGuy.com" unless I'm mistaken you are refering to Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" lyrics. In fact in live shows Hendrix actually sang "kiss this guy" while pointing to his drummer Mitch Mitchell on occasion. I have been collecting Hendrix books and music for 35 years so this isn't something I just made up. I love misheard lyrics and in the band "Yes" the other day I heard "toilet rainbow" in a song of theirs. Gotta love it. Thanks

A co-worker was singing along w/ the radio a few years back and actually -- honestly -- thought the Commodores' disco hit was "She's a brick -- ow!" It was all I could do to not burst out laughing. But I didn't want her to stop to be sure I truly was hearing her right. I was.

At least, I hope that's the case, because some of those misheard lyrics sound like they could only believably come from someone with permanent brain damage. For example, I could see how "cut loose like a deuce" could be misheard as "wrapped up like a douche." The last three words are nearly identical, after all. But someone will say they heard "FISH LLAMA PETER MONSTER HOKEY BOO BOO" or something that just doesn't sound like it AT ALL. Seriously. Trying too hard.

When my sister was in high school, Tell me All Your Thoughts on God by Dishwalla was popular. One day she asked her friends, "you guys, where's Dendoo?" She thought the song said "Like children of Dendoo" instead of "like children often do." She never lived it down.

I remember LL Cool J's song "Around the Way Girl" had some kind of sample right at the end of the chorus. I could never figure out what on earth it was saying, or if it was saying anything at all, but for some reason, I kept hearing the p-word in it. (And I knew that was wrong; otherwise, they wouldn't play it on the radio!)

There are a couple of lines in the Crystal Gayle song "Half The Way" that I used to think went like this:
"Some of your time is like one glass of water; Just leaves me thirsty for awhile" (instead of "thirsty for wine")
"Don't take me house away" (instead of "Don't take me half the way")

When I was nineteen, I was babysitting two little boys. The older boy was about 8 years old. He had 5 or 6 of his friends over. They were downstairs listening to a Kiss album and singing at the top of their lungs,"I was made for loving you, baby, you were made for loving me. I can't get on top of you,baby, can you get on top of me?"
When I was done laughing, I went downstairs and told them the correct lyrics were "I can't get enough of you, baby, can you get enough of me?"

I actually saw Hendrix in person at the Virginia Beach Dome in 1968. I was up pretty close to the stage. When he came to the line in question, he stopped and pointed directly at Noel Redding and sang with a big smirk, "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" He might not have originally written it that way, but by this time he was at least aware of the ambiguity and was playing to it. He was getting a kick out of it.

Probably not many Flogging Molly fans here, but in their song You Won't Make a Fool Out of Me my daughter kept singing, "You may think you're the captain of me, but I'm your coffee chip from hell!" (it's supposed to be coffin ship)
I wasn't sure what they were singing either initially, but I looked at her one day and said, "What the heck is a coffee chip?" to which she happily replied, "I don't know but it sounds like a good ice cream flavor!"

Leslie - I'm a huge Molly Fan. and I admit I have misheard more than one of their lyrics and have had to look them up. In Devils Dance Floor I thought one of the lyrics was swing a little more on the merry go

I only realized last year - in my 30s - that the Carly Simon line in "Your So Vain" was "You're where you should be all the time, and when you're not you're with some underworld spy or THE WIFE OF A CLOSE FRIEND." Since the age of 5, I've always sung, loudly, "...spy or the WIFE OF THE POSTMAN, WIFE OF THE POSTMAN!"

I listen to SWR 3, Stuttgart online, and the Germans really like Coldplay's "Vive la Vida." Their lyrics for the song included "Roman cavalry choirs are singing" instead of "Roman Catholic choirs are singing." Can't blame them. It really does sound like "Roman Cavalry choirs" but I doubt the Legion's had choirs in their table of organization and equipment. They were too busy being mean to Germans.

Back when I was in high school (mid 1970's) there was this 10CC Song: "I'm not in love." The lead would sing along and then she would speak in a soft voice: "Big boys don't cry. Big boys don't cry." For probably 20 years, when that old song would be played, I thought she was saying: Be poised. Don't Cry. Be poised. Don't cry." I always thought: Wow, why does she sound so proper?

Thank you to everyone who submitted something. I haven't laughed so hard in a very long time. Anyway, a friend of mine growing up used to think Bananarama's song "I'm your Venus" was related to a particular male anatomy item. When my sister and I told him the correct line in the song, he was thoroughly embarrassed.

At the time she didn't realize that the song was a real song that LONG pre-dated the show...she thought it was just the show's theme song and that they liked Warrick as much as she did. She has since been musically educated. :)

One December when my daughter was very young, she was sitting in the back seat of the car and singing Christmas songs. When she got to Silent Night, instead of "Round yon virgin," she sang "Round yon Village Inn."

Althought I've always known the correct words, I always laugh when I hear Paul McCartney's "My Love." Maybe because of his natural English accent, I always hear it as "Milo." That, of course, gives the lyrics a whole other twist:

Don't ever ask me why , I never say goodbye to Milo. It's understood. It's everywhere with Milo, and Milo does it good to me.

2) when my daughter and her cousin were both about 4-ish (both lil girls, mind you!), they ran around singing "everyday i'm MUSCLIN, everyday i'm MUSCLING" instead of everyday i'm HUSTLIN" - they thought they were so TOUGH!! LOL - then again, my daughter thought that the name of the show "that's so raven" was "fatso raven" ... which i quickly corrected..!!

3) then there is my best friend, who is by no means neither shy OR quiet, and will bust out in song whenever she feels the need. one day, in the middle of a party supply store, the song "Higher Love" came on the store's speakers.... suddenly she wholeheartedly sang "BRRIIIINNNGGG ME A PIEEE OF LOOOOOVE..OH OH!" ... when i started to laugh and she asked me what was so funny... i questioned it.. to which she said it made total sense to her because she's love it if someone brought her a pie of love. CLASSIC!! - thats how we sing it now, especially when we need a good laugh.

"Canonball! Canonball!"

Then in about 1995 or so, my brother in law asked me with perplexity, as he was trying hard to seriously contemplate the deeper meaning of The Stone Temple Pilots lyric:

"Where you going with the mastiff hound?"

Another AC/DC dirty deeds one. My mother always thought the song was "Dirty Deeds... THUN-DER-CHIEF!". Probably assumed because the heavy drum beat had a native american sound.

In response to "need to get your hearing checked":
Its not that odd that people hear different lyrics. People often have their own stylized way of speaking, and this is especially true of professional singers singing (as Wierd Al sang of Kurt Cobain for example: "all these marbles in my mouth"). Imperfect/stylized enunciation is one of the reasons computers had a hard time with speech recognition initially and still do to a degree.. With our own speech recognition our brain guesses and fills in the "blanks", usually correctly but sometimes some other (ahem 'likely') result is processed.

Another thing to remember is that singers usually layer their voice over itself several times with separate voice tracks (not just copies of the main vocal track). They also often have reverb effects applied, though the amount varies from song to song. REM uses a lot of reverb and "concert hall" type effects on their lyrics, as does U2 for example. AC/DC's singer gargled battery acid I think.
