Heard It On The XM Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Sometimes misheard lyrics actually make a lot more sense than the real ones. Case in point: U2's "When Love Comes To Town". Actual lyric: Ran into a juke joint Where I heard a guitar scream The notes were turning blue I was dazin' in a dream My misheard lyric: Ran into a juke joint Rammed my head against a screen The notes were turning blue I was dazin' in a dream Before I first saw the printed lyrics, I thought Bono was singing about hitting his head and knocking himself silly. But at least that makes more sense than the real verse, which don't clearly explain why Bono ends up in an altered state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I used to think the lyrics to I Ran by the Flock of Seagulls was... Iran is so far away... because of the hostages being released at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumboXL Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) According to various lyrics sites, the words of the Love Unlimited number one hit read: "Walking in the rain with the one I love". My ears always hear "F-ing in the rain with the one I love"..... Edited May 30, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumboXL Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 For a while I have thought Eric Clapton's Forever Man was about a cowboy proposing to a cowgirl: Won't you be my bowlegged woman? I'll try to be your bowlegged man.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberjudge Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 "walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale" Walking in Memphis-Marc Cohn I thought this was 10 feet off a "heel" (or "peel", or even "pier") I didn't know the correct line until I saw the lyrics, and even then I had to google "Beale" to find out it is a street in Memphis nicknamed "home of the blues".

Skuff Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 In The Beatles' "Revolution," My brother and I thought that John was singing, "But if you go carrying pictures of Gemini," Intead of "But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao." Remember, this was about 4-5 years ago! We had it on a tape of a few Beatles' albums my aunt made for us, as we only had a tape player in our car. It think this was the same time I was afraid of "Yesterday" and ran out of the living room when we were copying "1" to tape and it came on. Ya, I was crazy.

Crazy Don Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 In The Beatles' "Revolution," My brother and I thought that John was singing, "But if you go carrying pictures of Gemini," Intead of "But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao." I always thought it was "But if you go carryin' pictures of Carolyn Mowell…" For years I wanted to know who this Carolyn Mowell was, and why her last name was Mowell and not Howell! And I thought the line in "American Pie" was "in a coat he borrowed from Jane Steen," and I kept wondering who Jane Steen was! (It's James Dean.)

poetrychick Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) I think the funniest one I have ever heard would have to be is the Secret Agent Man song.

MuzikTyme Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Another Brick in the Wall partII I always thought it said," If you can't keep your seat then you can't have any pudding!!! When in fact it sang: If you don't eat yer meat, ya can't have any pudding! The outcome most likely was the same regardless of the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 ZZ-Top Legs At the end of the song, I always thought instead of "Oh, I want her, said, I got to have her" he was singing "Oh I want her, sh!t I got to have her I didn't find out the correct lyrics until just now.

Farin Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Canned Heat ~ Jamiroquai "got candy in my ears tonight, baby" is actually "got canned heat in my heals tonight, baby" ...makes more sense with the overall "dance" theme of the song too...
