I heard this song for the first time, and I kept hearing
My lover’s got no money, he’s got his thrombolyse
Turns out it was “strong beliefs”, and not a medical term
Have a listen: https://song.link/t/70681623
It wasn’t until my first job at a grocery store during Christmas time that I learned it was “Feliz Navidad” being sung.
Before that, I couldn’t figure out why the cheerful song that only appeared around Christmas time was saying “Police shot my dad”
Best laugh I had in a long time 🤣😭
I used to think the Kiss song went “I wanna rock and roll all night… and part of every day.”
Moderation is key for everything, after all.
I mean, partying every day just results in Slurms McKenzie.
We found Lois Griffin

I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day
Don’t go, Jason waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.

Don’t go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to
I always heard it as trombeleese, which I imagined to be some exotic musical instrument like this:
That thing looks like a Fremen sandworm saxophone
“It’s him. It’s Kenny Al G!”
This made me laugh pretty good. Delightful!
I wonder what that sounds like.
“Dirty deeds, dunder chiefs!”
I always wondered what a dunder chief is.
I always wondered what a dunder chief is.
Michael Scott I guess ?
It was Thunder Chief for me. I figured he must be bad juju.
You’re not alone, kindred spirit! Even when I knew the correct lyrics, I still hear it.
And when I learned about “dunder” or “double underscore” methods in Python, my first thoughts were:

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap
Annie are you walking? Annie are you walking? Are you walking, Annie?
“Blinded by the light.
Revved up like a douche, another runner in the night.”
Turns out is actually deuce.
That actually makes even less sense.
It’s referring to a two-stroke engine.
Generally it’s a 2-door car, specifically a 1932 Ford.
Not a motorcycle?!?!
This seemed like such a motorcycle song!
It’s a strange song
I always heard “wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night” and happily sung that in bars.
Manfred Mann’s cover of Blinded by the Light has entered the chat. Probably the most misheard lyrics in the entire history of modern music.
It’s “Revved up like a deuce.”
Wait… Manfred Mann’s version is a cover? Yep, Blinded by the Light was originally performed Bruce Springsteen.
Speaking of blinding, my honey used to think a different song went “she blinded me with oven mitts, it opened up my eyes”
And the Springsteen version very clearly says deuce which means Manfred Mann had to deliberately change it.
“I set fire, to Lorraine” by Adele (set fire to the rain). “Parrot, parrot, parrot eyes” by Coldplay (Paradise)
Excuse me, while I kiss this guy.
Kings of Leon, Use Somebody. I always thought that he said “You know I wanna eat somebody. Someone like you!”
I’m not absolutely sure if this is the right snippet of the song, but I don’t see a more-likely bit:

You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you…That’s it. I still can’t hear “use” even though I now know it’s the name of the song.
Blink 182 “the state looks down on side of me”
If you know, you know.

This state looks down on sodomy
I was a huge blink182 fan back in 99-02. I didn’t understand what the prank in that prank call was. It wasn’t until much much later that I started going through their albums again that I realized what Mark was actually saying. Looked up the lyrics and my jaw hit the floor. I remember sitting in front of my computer laughing until I was sweating at not only how that’s a legit good prank call but I’d been singing it wrong for the better part to two decades.
I have an auditory processing disorder sooo all of them lol
Hoobastank, the Reason.
Real lyric: “a reason to start over new”.
What i heard as a child: “the reason tostadas are new”
At one point in Another One Bites the Dust, Freddie says “Bite the dust, yeah” which for years I could not hear as anything but “I’m adopted”. Seemed like a weird way to share that information.
