Completely Misheard Lyrics?

[I Cant Believe Its Ledbetter]

Ok, this is really terrible, but funny at the same time. In college I knew a girl who swore that in the song "Pilate" she heard "butt pirate I have gay-dar!"

Anyone hear Mike McCready's misheard lyrics "I wanna rock 'n roll all night..., and PART OF every day!" Eddie was bugging him about that on a show that was webcast a few years ago (I think from 'House of Blues'). Absolutely my favorite blown lyrics of all time..., even the biggest rockstars need to rest sometimes. HA

My first blown Eddie lyrics:
"King Jeremy, the wicked ruled his world", I thought was "Came down on me, the wicked, ruthless world" until I finally got the CD. Not a comical miscue it shocked me I was wrong..., and I think my version could work too.

I often sing "Glorified version of a pelican" to myself, but just as a joke. Glad you all heard it too.

In MFC, I always thouth Ed sang "Ask I'm an ear" until Ii finally saw the original typed lyrics at the PJ Museum. It says "Ask Armenia"

I was sure it was ask I'm an ear, until now. Ha

That was actually from Live at Bonroya Hall and yes, totally hilarious.

For years, I thought Hendrix was singing "but I was gettin' laid" in "All Along the Watchtower." It's actually "the hour is getting late," which I didn't realize until I heard Dylan sing it (how's that for irony?)

Of course now, the "yeah!" yelled out by Hendrix after the line makes it even funnier to me.

I heard something about a gay dog.

[Juan Godoy]

some are very funny..

in Not for You: "Like muhammad hits the truth"
i used to hear "like my mother, hits it too"

[pineapplesandwaves.]

It's not exactly a misheard lyric, but a while ago I was listening to Binaural on the drive home from work and I kept singing evaporation instead of evacuation. I'm a teacher and had been teaching the water cycle in science that day.

To this day, I still find myself, on occasion, singing evaporation.

I should write water cycle lyrics using the music of Evacuation.

[wtf-is-this-world]

This thread is hilarious! I also heard "pissed on my plate" for a long time!

in Black , instead of "all the pictures have been washed in black", I heard "oh my bitter self has been washed in black", which sort of made sense since there were "bitter hands" further down.

Non PJ-wise, I stuffed up "One" by Metallica

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror (had no idea what he was saying)
I cannot live / me: How can I live
I cannot die / me: How can I die
Trapped in myself / me: dragging myself
Body my holding cell / me: dragging my only self

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell /me: let me ride the lightning yeaahh

[gabriella chame]

Why go: "She's been diagnosed"
I always heard: "Sheeee's been dying on"

And I used to sing it outloud! When I figured out I was wrong I was like "omg, people will think I am completely dumb!" hahaha

When I was younger, I used to sing "Redemption song" (Bob Marley) wrong too... the lyric is "none but ourserlves can free our minds" and I always sang "Lampada ourselves can free ourminds" ("Lampada" means "lamp" in portuguese) hahahaha

When i've listened to Save You it has always been this bootleg version from the 2003 PJ show I went to...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gk9Rfo6Hy8

Save You

Real lyrics: "Baby, let yourself fall... I'm right below you now"
I heard: "Baby, let's just have fun...I'm not being loyal now"

Real lyrics: "F**k me if I care... but I'm not leaving here"
I heard: "F**k me, f**k him....i'm not leaving here"

Real lyrics: "It's taken control...let's beat it, get up let's go!"
I heard: "It's taken control...let's pick it up, let's go".

"wtf is this world", cool name...I never thought of the wtf there!

[rollings]

The song that goes, "c'mon people, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now", right?.......

I don't know what the first line in that song is, but I have a feeling that its NOT "Louies butt is long I see, feeds the weeds at night", ....is it?
