Yes, I know there is a website for this (kissthisguy.com), but I thought it would be funnier to hear the ear scrambles people on this board have done. I, for example, misheard Four Season's "Big Girls Don't Cry" as "Speed Curls Gold Fry," when I was about 4 years old. A more recent mistake of mine has me singing the Nine Inch Nail's "Down in It" line "I was up above it" as "I look like a muppet." I KNOW I'm not the only one, share yours.

Ok, fine, I thought of another one. In fact, I just looked up to see what Dido is really singing in the Eminem song "Stan." I knew I was hearing it wrong, but I couldn't bother with figuring it out. Yup, until now.
I heard: "I wanna make love to my window." It's actually: "The morning rain clouds up my window.."

At The Drive-In: 'One Armed Scissor'
I heard (and still hear) in the chorus 'Get Away, Get Away', but the booklet says: Cut Away, Cut Away'. I still think my interpretation works better.

PJ Harvey "Let me ride on his face for a while." It's actually "let me ride on his grace for a while." Which is better?

i thought the lyrics in wu-tang's shame on a n***a were: "when you see me on the real formin like voltron remember i got teeth like a baby seal".
for years i thought that.
it's really, "i got D' like a navy seal".

Yeah, i totally hear "get away!!"
Also My friend thought the lyrics of perfect drug that went "without you its not as much fun to pick up the pieces" was actually "... its not as much fun to pick on the pussy"
:D
He also makes other great mistakes that totally work. What was that slipknot song... Liberate. Did it go "liberate my madness"?
Well anyway he thought it was "liberate bananas"
:D!!!

My personal favorite on kissthisguy.com:
Song: Land of Sunshine Artist: Faith No More
The real lyrics were: Does life seem worthwhile to you?
But I misheard them as: It's my Sea World party!
The embarrassing moment of revelation: My friend Nick Dazio was the genius behind this one. I had it cranked and he was singing along and got to that point in the song and he belted that out. I said "What kind of retard are you?" and he shot back with the ever clever "Shut up man." I told everyone of this and he never lived it down.

My friend thought the Darkness - 'I believe in a thing called love, just listen to the rhythm of my heart'
was 'I believe in a thing called love, just look on the roof of my car'
Either way the song sucks balls

well the lyrics on beetles has been debated before but now i think i know how it really goes!
most of u said the lyrics were: beetles under my carpet under my feet they come in the heat
and i said the lyrics were: beetles under my carpet under my feet they come out at night
but he actually sings both and in that order i think, listen carefully!

you'd be suprised what people misunderstand in songs (even english speakers). Either song artists use diverse pronounciation or the harmonics obscure the natural phonetics of letters and words.
