I still remember laughing from my senior year of high school when someone in my group of friends, I think it was Billy, heard "I am still living with your goat, lonely and dreaming of a wet coat" Everclear. I think the real lyrics are "I am still living with your ghost. Lonely and dreaming of the west coast."

and when Wayne's World did their countdown of top misheard lyrics, I particuarly liked:
"Don't go out tonight, it's bound to take your life, there's a bathroom on the right."
as well as Jimi Hendrix:
"'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy"

I think I was 30 before I learned hendrix was NOT saying 'kiss this guy'. seemed ok to me !

Heh...I can relate. I wondered for years what the hell the Barenaked Ladies were saying in One Week in the line following "Watching X-Files with no lights on..."

It wasn't until I switched my ears to French that I understood "...we're dans la maison..."
 
I remember arguing with a buddy of mine in high school about the lyrics to "Good Times, Bad Times" by Led Zeppelin. I was certain the lyric was not "my woman left home with a brown eyed man", but rather, "my woman left home with another man".

I mean, why is his eye colour relevant?
 
For Eminems song... Superman the lyrics are: I wanna save you girl,
come be in Shady's world, and someone thought it was: I wanna save you girl, come here and shave your squirrel....

I almost pee'd my pants.

Well, actually they were too stoned to pronouce In the Garden of Eden,
and it came out as a very slurred Inna Godda Davida Baby, as Homer J would later Immortalize.

First of all the point is that the lyrics were misheard, nevermind the reason; and secondly it wasn't weed that was making him talk with slurred speech, it was LSD.
If you're an as big a fan as I am of iron butterfly you'd know these things... But dont worry about it.

The lead singer was rolling out of his mind on LSD and when he was saying the lyrics the distortion fucked his voice up and In the Garden of Eden became Ina-gadda-da-vida!

(Also, I thought that was Bart, not Homer... Didnt he have the entire chruch singing it?):biggrin1:
 
Actually, I could decifer "In the Garden of Eden"... So I never understood "Inagaddadavida". I figured it must be dedicated to some obscure hindi god of self obliteration....

For the longest time I thought the lyrics to Rolling Stones "Beast of Burdon" were "I'll never be your big suburban"....my Dad still gets a kick out of that one-haha ;-)
 
When we sang the ABCs in early elementary school, I always thought "elemento" was some kind of nonsense word that they stuck between K and P to make the words fit with the melody. It never occurred to me that there were some letters missing in there.
