Just found out that the lyric to She Wolf is "starting to feel just a little abuse like a coffee machine in an office" instead of "coffee machine in an oven".

Does a native English speaker understand here: "Break my knees so I can't move"?

One of my favorites is this misheard lyric from the somewhat obscure Queen song, Headlong:

"Get your Russian hedgehog"

^ That was one of my favourite songs as a young child. Hate to think what I was singing...

Sodomy / Inside of me.

My sister played Backstreet Boys CDs constantly in the late 90s. I always thought their song "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" had lyrics that were different than they actually are.

Am I original?
(Yeah)
Am I the only one?
(Yeah)
Am I sexual?
(Yeah)
Am I everything you need?
You better rock your body now


For the past twenty years, I thought the lyrics were:

Am I original?
(Yeah)
Am I the only one?
(Yeah)
Did I set you up?
(Yeah)
Am I everything you need?
You better rock your body now

not really misheard lyrics, but when I first heard that Nicki Minaj song "Super Bass" back in 2011 I swore it was about a huge fish.

The song from the intro to That 70's Show:

What I heard all those years:
"Not a thing to do,
the town to you."

What it actually is:
"Not a thing to do,
but talk to you."

I feel pretty stupid, but it is really hard to hear.

“Those are the sweetest guys I’ve ever seen” from Elton John’s Your Song

(It was really “yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen”.)

Speaking of—and I don’t know if I knew him to be gay at this point—I thought that he was shouting “Sodomy!” in the song “Saturday”.

Also, when I first heard it at about age 6, I though "Secret Agent Man" was "Secret Asian Man".

That sounds like a subtly racist spy comedy from the 40's.

Same! I imagined them referring to a Russian spy (not knowing at the time that Russia is unlikely to be referred to as Asian).

In view of the occasion:

And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy coming back into you once I fingered an owl.

You don't have to say what you did: an Oreo.

Cross my heart, hope to die
To my lover, I'd never lie
He said "be true", I swear I'll try
In the end, it's human eye (or humanoid).

Back in elementary school, we listened to a Halloween poem in music class and this is what I heard:

"Ghosts, goblins, grandmas, ghouls"

(It was really gremlins, not grandmas.)

Well, with Elton John being "that way", it could easily be either one, LOL.  Wink

I'm listening to Blank Space as we speak. I love that Taylor Swift has a long list Starbucks lovers. :-)

Honestly, I never heard song lyrics very well, even (or especially) when I was young. I remember in high school hearing AC/DC singing something about a "Thunder Chief", although I didn't even know it was AC/DC.

Of course who can forget Kenny Rogers' 400 children?

Karaoke has helped greatly in resolving these, except sometimes there are even differences in lyrics from one karaoke version to the next, which doesn't help.

Some people understand Hold on! instead of Oh Lord! when listening to Phil Collin's In the air tonight. But even I can't understand why.

Did they hit pay dirt?
