Humorously Misheard Lyrics

[Hermit of the Forest]

We've all done it. Now we'll all laugh about it.

Airplanes - B.O.B.

What He Said: "And back when I was rapping for the hell of it...

What I heard: "...I was rapping for the elephant..."

In my mind there burst an image of a elephant who LOVED rap music. All young and aspiring rappers would come an sing to him; and he would sway back and forth to their rhythmic cadence with closed eyes, thinking he had the best job in the world.

 

[Population: 1]

Damn it! I do this all the time. Some I've misheard for a couple of decades. However I can't think of any off the top of my head. I'll be back.

English is not my native language, you people don't have any idea what is like to misheard lyrics lol

Manfred Mann'sEarth Band: Blinded by the light...

What they are:
Blinded by the light revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night...

What I heard: Blinded by the light, wrapped up in a douche; another ronin in the night...
and
What they are: And little early-pearly Came by in his curly-wurly And asked me if I needed a ride

*sigh* what I heard....*sigh*: And little early birdy, gave my anus curly wurly, And asked me if I needed a ride...

So yeah,there was that one....

Ha ha! I've always thought it was wrapped up like a douche too.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel opening lyrics:
To get laid I eat my neighbor
Good God if it's a guy will not keep commenting
Both run into my woman said stalk everyone, stalk everyone

Smack that kid whoa whoa
Who'd wanna touch a guy when he's had too much ale
Don't leave on us too many nigga brawling online, brawling online
Have shit with us your big diamond
Copyright, it's good shemale role
Put your dick in us arpeggio

Save your ass son, save your ass son!

 

[Merced]

for the longest i thought the chorus to "radioactive" was "ready to rock you" and performed that in front of people

 

[Hermit of the Forest]

The Things We Do For Love - 10cc:

What was sung:
"Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up"

What I heard: "And you're looking for the answer in the rice."

I imagined him drowning his sorrow in Chinese food. Stirring it round and round, thinking, "So this is how it ends?"

Something I would do actually.

Any stories?

Quite a few, but the better one is a Brazilian song from a band who doesn't speak English. They quoted part of "Rappers Delight"

"I said a hip hop
Hippie to the hippie
The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it out
Bubba to the bang bang boogie, boobie to the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie the beat"

And made a song called "Ragatanga", this part of Rappers Delight is quoted like this:
"
Aserehe ra de re
De hebe tu de hebere seibiunouba mahabi
An de bugui an de buididipi

Aserehe ra de re
De hebe tu de hebere seibiunouba mahabi
An de bugui an de buididipi"

I really advise you to listen to this song, they really think they are singing that part of Rappers Delight:

 

[Ashtart]

Every time I listen to Taylor Swifts' Blank Space, when she sings "...gotta a long list of ex lovers.." I hear "gotta a long a list of starbucks lovers" instead.

What makes it even funnier is that a lot of people here in Brazil actually think that part is some kind of demonic chanting. I'm serious.

HHAHAHAHA true. There are quite a few conspiracy theories that say that part is in the "devil's tongue". And they even take their time to explain for example, like, what "aserehe" means in demoniac tongue. LOL.
