My sister-in-law thought the chorus of Metallica's Battery was "backdoor raid". Now I can't unhear it.
I also thought in Live and Let Die Paul sang, "give an Alabama yell" instead of "give the other feller hell."
I was driving one day, in the early 1990s, singing along with Elton John, "love I feel it in my hands, I can tell by the things I could do with another man.." as I had since I was a little kid, when I suddenly realized that probably wasn't what he was saying. It still sounds like that is what he is saying.
I see quite a lot of Elton John in these answers, maybe he just didn't enunciate.
Israelites is a classic.
Me ears are alight.
Used to listen to this on the youth club juke box as a 10yo!
I can't believe this is 15 years ago. Still hear these in the song today. https://youtu.be/VWqC4KKiVbU
My wife’s childhood:
“My anus can’t take it I’m addicted to love”.
Robert Palmer.
Mine is when I sing, and I can’t remember what I say, but something like “kissing your neck, back, n’dem titties” to Labrinths Still Don’t Know My Name. Although I’m still fairly certain those lyrics to be correct 👍
One of the earliest websites I remember was like scuse me while I miss this guy dot com and it was people sharing what you're looking for. Check the way back machine
One I heard was "scuse me while I kiss this guy"
Autocorrect on my comment. This is correct.
Freed from desire - Gala Rizzatto. I always thought it was "My love has got no money, he's got his trumbalyse" and I never knew what a trumbalyse was.
Also Peter Kay did a great bit around misheard lyrics.
At first I thought Post Malone was saying “swallow my knife” and not “spoil my night.”
I was once listening to The Pillows' "I Think I Can" around a friend. Japanese band, lots of their songs are in English but you'd never know through the singer's heavy Japanese accent. He repeats the titular line a lot in the song and my friend thought he was singing "I lick my cunt."
That was 15 years ago and it's still all I hear when I listen to the song.
Bring me a pile of love!
"living like a lover with a red iPhone" - Pour some sugar on me, 1987
There's a bathroom on the right.
