Haha ha! I have corrected a mis heard lyric! The song "50 Ways to leave your lover" The one that goes "Slip out the back Jack, Make a new plan Stan". There's more to it, anyway, my friend always heard one of the lyrics wrong. She heard, "Just turn on the TV, and set yourself free." The line says, "Just drop off the KEY Lee, and set yourself free" We were singing it, and when we got to that line, she said her version and I laughed for five mins before I could tell her what really says. Then, it dawned on her... "Why would you turn on the TV if you are leaving your lover?" LMAO! I still tease her about that.  |

Yes, I've done that before. Sometime is is hard to understand. Like Janet Jackson's new song Feedback, I swear it sounds like she is saying be bad.  |

I thought "one toke over the line" was "one cold woman tonight." Got alot of teasing about that one when in high school. I mishear songs alot. 50 Cent's first song was like that-it sounded opposite of what he was really saying. I think I liked my version better! LOL  |

Don't feel bad. Do you know that song by One Republic & Timbaland called "Too Late to Apologize"? My friend's bro thought that in the chorus he was singing "It's too late to call a jive." LOL! What is a jive anyways???  |

"It's too late to call a jive." --ROTFLMAO!!! that's great!!! I think the best song with misunderstood lyrics is ole Jimi Hendrix.."excuse me while I kiss the sky//excuse me while I kiss this guy"  |

Often. I can't think of any specific songs, but it's happened. If you want a serious butchering of lyrics (even the title of the song), go to YouTube and type in Ken Lee Idol. Epic fail.  |

I forgot to say, I think a lot of it is singer's these days (as in since the 80's even) have HORRIBLE lack of caring about enunciating their words. "Diction" as voice students would know it is, is part of the proper way to sing. But, none of the popular singers anymore these days seem to care about singing loudly or clearly enough to where people *don't* misunderstand! |

It's funny that ReeRun mentions that song, because there's a misheard lyrics website called kissthisguy.com. LOL I had a friend who thought Boyz II Men were saying 'stomp on your fingers' instead of 'stop pointing fingers' in their song 'On Bended Knee'.  |

yes *blushes*. At the end of "White Rabbit", I thought Grace Slick was singing "D.O.A", because she was singing about "Alice" (Like "Go Ask Alice" , I guess she is singing "Feed Your Head" (take drugs). That is just one *teeny* example.  |

Yep. They actually have books out for misheard lyrics. I remember one of them is called "Excuse me while I kiss this guy", which was a mixup for "excuse me while I kiss the sky"  |

I thought "Pain, Monopoly" in Master OF Puppets by Metallica was "Play monopoly" at first lol. Then again, what metal head DIDN'T hear those lyrics when they heard the song the first time? A lot of Metallica fans I know said they misheard it the same as I did lol  |

Cool Blizzard, sadly I know what you are talking about lol. My art teacher is a big fan of classic rock so he had a local radio channel turned on in class one day. That song came on and some of the kids were making fun of it because they thought that he was saying something else instead of 'deuce' lol |
